The Rain Killer (1990) Movie Script
- The gruesome murder of a Brentwood woman
whose body was discovered
early this morning
near her home, the victim
has been identified
as 41 year old Margaret Warren.
Police are withholding most details,
but Power News has learned
the victim was stabbed
and mutilated.
Turning now to the weather,
a series of Pacific storms
continues to roll into the southland.
- The San Diegan to
Floritan, Santa Ana,
Anaheim, and San Diego,
now leaving on track seven.
- All aboard!
- Oh, cutting it a little too close.
- Oh my God.
Get the cops on the horn, fast!
- Police officer, nobody
gets off, hey, hey, come on,
get your pinstripe asses back on the train
and don't fuck with me.
Get a team together and
get a list of everybody
who got off the train, come on.
- Lieutenant.
- Yeah.
- Capra.
- Yeah.
- How do you want to play this?
- What do I know, there
was a fucking train.
Detective Capra, police.
Shit.
Every detail from the top.
- I found her just like
that, checked back here
just before we left Union
Station, that's all I know.
- Anybody in here see
someone go through here?
- It could only happen
on one of the older cars.
The new ones are laid out all different.
You think he knew that?
- I don't know, it's possible.
- The guy with the sunglasses.
- You describe him for us sir?
- Overcoat, hat.
Sunglasses with reflective lenses.
He seemed out of place.
- Anybody else see this guy, huh?
- Here you go, cap.
- Shit.
- We gonna write this up or what?
- What's it look like?
- Well.
- Okay.
- You want to talk about it?
- Reese, old buddy, piss off.
- Pissing.
- Captain Hacket, step into my office.
- A woman gets ripped on
a train, there tend to be
a few questions.
- I'm really not up for this.
- Elizabeth Collinger,
senior editor, Christ.
Somebody prominent.
- I'm a fucking lifeguard
in a slaughterhouse, man.
- What have you got?
- A big zero, trainload of
people, nobody saw anything,
the lab?
- They found a plastic
raincoat on the tracks,
sold all over town.
He used it like a butcher's
apron, it's untraceable.
No weapon, looks like we got
ourselves a real smart psycho
and look at you.
- I need some R&R, Lee.
- There's more, the ME says
the wounds are identical
to a murder in Brentwood
day before yesterday.
- Don't tell me that.
- I need you on your feet.
My office, eight AM.
Sober.
- There are much easier
places to kill somebody.
He took a big risk, why?
- Showing off.
- Okay, I'll buy that.
- Brentwood murder
didn't get much airplay.
Maybe he was trying to
do something spectacular.
- He wants our attention, he's got it.
- So what do we do now?
- Round up the usual perverts.
- To start with, he may have a pattern.
Look for a link between the victims.
- No connection except they
were all well to do women
of about the same age.
- And the rain.
- What about it?
- When they were both
killed, it was raining.
- There's something wrong with, oh!
Oh, somebody help me, oh!
No!
- How's it going, Roden,
they check your ID
before you came in here?
Eh, what are you gonna do about a city
that gets its annual rainfall
in just two weeks, eh?
New York, Boston, Chicago,
those are real cities, Lee.
- Is this the Wild Turkey talking?
- Oh, you'd rather talk
about how silly we look
on this thing, huh?
- Look, this guy is
smart, he's systematic.
The way he picks his victims,
the risk of open places,
the close escapes.
- No evidence.
The rain washes everything clean.
- Maybe it turns him on.
- Always made me feel like screwing.
- When you were looking for
a link between the victims,
you didn't run it by the DEA, did you?
- DEA, no, why, what's
drugs got to do with this?
- I don't know yet, but
the feds are in on this.
You'll be working with
an FBI agent from now on.
- Captain, not for nothing.
This thing gets solved on the
streets, not behind a desk.
- Hey, he can't do any worse than we have.
- When can I expect him, captain?
- He'll contact us, cooperate.
- Asshole.
What's up, Captain?
- FBI decided to part
with a little information.
All three victims were in drug rehab.
- Different programs and different years.
- Hey, it's the only common
denominator we've got.
- What's federal IO, captain?
- She was a federally protected witness,
new identity in exchange for testimony.
It's possible the people she
testified against found her,
but that doesn't account for
the killing of the other two.
- So where does that leave us?
- At least we've narrowed the
field of potential victims.
- Women between 30 and 50 from drug rehab.
Could be thousands of 'em, Lee.
So...
What about this hotshot agent?
- The feds aren't your problem.
- It's me.
Look, I'm sorry to bother
you, it's business, all right?
You could be in danger.
I'm not trying to frighten
you, listen to me.
Someone is killing wealthy
women, former users.
I couldn't help--
Thinking of you.
- How 'bout this fucking
LA weather, man, eh?
20% chance of rain, oh,
wait a minute, here we go.
Get a load of this, will you?
Now this looks more like a fashion show
than a bunch of ex-junkies, right?
Goddamn assertiveness training.
Now who's got Maggie?
- Captain, somebody's on my tail.
He's getting close.
Close in, close in!
- You move, I splatter
you, you cocksucker,
don't fucking move, don't fucking move.
Take it fucking easy, there you go.
What are you doing here tonight, eh, eh?
Got nothing better to do,
out for a little stroll, eh,
you cocksucker, eh?
Oh yeah, oh, oh, what do
we have here, what the fuck
do we have here, what, are
you the lone fucking ranger
or what?
- Federal agent, you dumb shit.
- Lieutenant.
- Hold it, hold it.
Check out his ID.
- Come on, man, he looks
like a fucking ad for GQ.
- Wesley Dalton, special agent.
- Shoot, what the fuck
are you doing here, man?
She was our decoy.
You all right, Maggie?
- Yeah.
- Okay, you'll be all right.
You want to fuck around,
man, you want to work solo?
Bullshit, this is what happens.
- I work alone 'cause of apes like you.
- I'm an ape, I'm a fucking ape?
- Lieutenant, not here, not now.
- I'll take my weapon.
- His gun.
- Stay away from me, cowboy.
- A female officer nearly gets killed
while you rough up a federal agent.
- You make it sound so bad.
- Vince, I've looked
the other way, lately,
but there's a limit, you're
going back in the game, right?
- Yes, yes, coach.
- Okay, you work with
Dalton and that's that.
There's no second choice.
Mr. Dalton?
- He's a lightweight, captain,
he couldn't find his ass
with both hands.
Listen, Dalton...
I'm sorry.
- Forget it.
- Well, here they are,
007, scumbags on parade.
- Now what's this,
the comic relief?
- No, this is the cream of the crop, pal.
- You don't think we're gonna
find a guy in this bunch?
- They fit the general description.
- All right, who's got the smallest dick?
Number six, what are
you, a fucking comedian?
Nice, taxpayers know about this?
- Not that it matters, but it's mine.
- You got style, Wesley, you got style.
Where we going?
- To find a lead, not that
you'd know one if it bit you.
- Know the difference between a porcupine
and a Mercedes driver?
- Huh?
- On the porcupine, the
prick's on the outside.
- What is this?
- Don't say anything.
- I'll try not to fart.
- This way, gentlemen.
- Hey, Mr. Dalton, I've
been expecting you.
- How you doing, this is Mr.
Capra, he'll be joining us
today, Mr. Allenby.
- Fine.
If you'll come this
way, please, thank you.
Mr. Capra?
- Thank you.
- Elizabeth Collinger, the
woman who died on the train,
I was her control officer,
some of my best work
on new identity, no family
and she was very cooperative.
New face, new name, even a new voice.
Such a waste.
- So you placed her in the rehab program?
- I was obligated under the agreement
but I don't think she needed
that much supervision.
Her drug habit seemed to
end with her old life.
- No relapse?
- That I'm aware of.
She even joined the women's support group
after she left the program.
- Remember the name of the group?
- Let me see, it was something homey
and old fashioned sounding.
The Quilters or Knitters,
something like that.
- The Sewing Circle.
- Yeah, that was it.
Rather ironic for a
group of former addicts.
- Let's do it, Sewing Circle.
Want to tell me about it?
- There's nothing to tell,
rich bitch ex-junkies.
- That's it?
- Hey, it's none of your business.
- Hey, look, Wesley,
hey, I'll fuck you up.
You hold out information
on me, you understand?
- You're too late.
- Shit.
- Ah, good evening, good evening.
I'm conducting a modest
sociological survey
on how the other half lives.
- Very well, thank you, good of you
not to kick down the door.
- Well.
- You want a drink?
- Ah.
Eh, twisted my arm.
Yeah.
Eh, this is place is
un-fucking-believable.
I didn't think the FBI got paid that well.
- A going away present from my wife.
- Hmm, that's some present.
Where'd she go?
- Another planet.
Three blocks away.
Christ, you're a nosy
bastard, you know that?
You have any reason for dropping by here
other than to discuss the
tragedy of my marriage?
- Mmm.
Sewing Circle.
- The victims were all members.
- You knew that?
- Just a lucky guess.
I tried to warn her about
these murders, but...
She thought I was trying to frighten her.
I suppose I thought
maybe if she needed me--
- Oh, wait, wait, wait, back up a minute,
your wife was a former user?
- And a member of the Sewing Circle.
- Shit.
Any vodka?
- Shh, shh.
- Sit on my face and I'll guess your wait.
- Hey, that's rude, man.
- All right, I won't guess your weight.
- You're smashed.
- What makes you say that?
- Well, look at you.
- Oh.
- Who's your friend?
- Him?
He's nobody.
The salt of the earth in an open wound.
- Oh, really?
Well, he looks very interesting.
- Don't be ridiculous.
- Hi, I'm Adele Riordan.
- Vince Capra, homicide detective.
Nice to meet you.
- Wesley seems to be moving
in slightly different circles
these days.
- I'm sorry, it's so late and
we're so shitfaced.
- You can always spot
the Harvard graduates.
- That's quite all right, Mr. Capra.
This is actually one of
Wes's more amusing surprises.
- Wait a minute, since when
are you back to using Riordan?
We're not divorced yet.
- Wes thinks if he ignores
it, it'll just go away.
I guess that's how I deal with him.
Take your jacket off, relax,
I'll get you boys some coffee.
- You look wonderful.
- Happiness agrees with me.
- Adele, about the murders, look--
- It has nothing to do with me.
I don't want to talk about it, okay?
- You may be wrong, ma'am.
- This is a private conversation.
- Sorry.
- You and I have nothing to talk about
that Vince can't hear.
- All right, that's what you want.
- Wesley's so agreeable with you.
You must be the money.
- Adele, we've got three
victims and they were all
in your support group.
- It's called the Sewing Circle.
- We could use a list
of members, addresses,
phone numbers, you know, things like that.
- You guys are serious, aren't you?
- It's murder, ma'am.
- You'll have to talk to
Sarah Keller about it.
She's the chairwoman.
You know there's over
100 members in the group.
- Oh, we're not saying
that he's out to kill
the lot of you.
- And I don't even know
the woman on the train.
- You knew Maggie Warren and Marilyn Boyd.
- And besides.
I have you two, don't I?
- But...
We can't be with you day and night.
Why don't you take a vacation?
You know, go outta town a while?
- I'm sorry, I can't.
- How did I know you were gonna say that?
- Cording should be thin
enough to pass twice
through the B board.
- I hate this sissy poo shit.
- Ah, Sarah Keller.
- Yes, what can I do for you?
- Well, I'm Detective Capra and
this is Special Agent Dalton
- Oh, yes, Wesley.
Adele told me you'd be stopping by.
I was sorry it didn't
work out with you two.
- We saved her life,
that's what's important.
Do you have the list?
- This is the current roster.
- Thank you.
Do you have any idea who did this?
- For every person who gets well,
there's another who gets hurt.
I've no doubt there are
those who would blame
the circle for something real or imagined,
but who could do something like this?
- You might want to cancel
your meetings, ma'am.
- Out of the question.
My women'll need support more than ever.
Now if there's nothing else.
- No, you've been very kind,
thank you, Mrs. Keller.
- Ms.
- Vince.
Come in.
- Are you checking up on me?
- Obvious?
- Is that because you're supposed to
or because you want to?
Can I get you a drink?
- No thanks.
I didn't think you...
- I don't.
But that doesn't mean you can't.
- I'd just as soon as...
Not dull my senses.
- I like the sound of that.
So what are we doing?
- Checking each other out, I guess.
I was wondering.
What kinda guy makes moves
on the wife of the guy
that he's working with?
- Ex-wife.
Is that what you're doing?
Making moves?
- I'm trying.
- What'll it be, Mac?
- Got a beer?
- Sure.
Two drink minimum, 10 bucks.
- 10 bucks, eh?
10 bucks, keep it.
- Something else I can do for you?
Name's Satin, it'll cost you 100.
- Deal.
- Have a seat at the first table.
- How's it going, good?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, good, good.
You're...
You're a great dancer, you know that?
- So you got someplace we can go?
- Yeah, yeah, I got a room, it's...
Not far.
It should be all right, just relax.
- You know, an extra 100
gets you the whole night.
I'll make it worth it.
- I'll bet you will, you got a deal.
- All right, maybe I
score some blow and...
- That's covered.
I got everything we need.
- Hi baby, how you doing,
little miss nobody?
Hey, man, how you doing?
Say man, you wanna deal
with these bitches?
Well, then, you got to talk to me.
- I don't work for you, Angel.
- It don't look right,
you working freelance.
- Good night.
- Angel, not here,
take it outside.
- Motherfucker.
I'll see you later.
Bye, baby.
- Are you crazy?
- Are you ready?
Come on, let's go.
- Can I ask you something?
- Mhmm.
- Why me?
- 'Cause you smelled good.
It's a secret.
- Okay.
Does that mean stupid?
- No, it means honest.
- Okay.
You know...
I bet we don't even have
the same silver pattern
or anything.
- Hey, relax.
I'm a work in progress, okay?
So we just take it one day at a time.
- Oh, okay.
We could.
- Hi baby.
- Hi.
- Oh, you're beautiful, baby, ooh, yeah,
that's what I want, that's what I want.
- Hey, babe.
- You know what you want?
- You got something for me, huh?
- Oh, yeah, I do, right here.
Right there.
- Yeah, but...
We gotta take care of business first.
- Business, first, what'd
we talk about, huh?
What'd we say, baby, we'd say 200?
Is that it, well, I'll tell you what.
Why don't we do...
Four, baby, huh?
Huh?
Yeah.
- Are you rich or something?
- Baby, forget about the
ring, baby, wasting time.
- You're still dressed, huh?
- You want me to take it off?
- Yeah, you gotta show
me what you got, huh?
- Okay.
- Let me see it.
- You got it, baby.
- Slowly, huh?
- Okay, talk to me.
- Oh, yeah, baby.
So, Satin, tell me, what's your real name?
- I told you, it's Kathy,
what's your real name, huh?
- Call me Dick.
- Jesus, I don't know
if I can handle that.
- Oh, you can handle it,
baby, you can handle it
and you will.
- What have you got in here anyway, huh?
- It's nothing, it's nothing.
- Wait, what are these?
- Nothing, babe.
Give me a little of that, please.
Yeah, come on, baby.
Lean back, lean back,
just like that, baby.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, mmm.
Ooh, give me your arm, baby,
put your wrist in there,
that's it, that's it,
baby, give me your wrist,
that's it, Kathy, I
promise I won't hurt you.
I won't hurt you, baby.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, baby.
- Hey baby.
Kathy?
Kathy?
Kathy, wake up, wake
up, oh, fuck, goddammit,
Kathy, wake up, wake up, oh shit.
- Hold it, freeze!
Hands behind your head.
You have the right to remain silent,
and anything you say can
and will be sued against you
in a court of law.
You have the right to an
attorney, you have the right
to have the attorney--
- Jordan Richard Rosewall,
felony hit and run,
drug possession, possession
of deadly weapons.
He'll probably beat the
drugs and weapons charges
on illegal search.
- Where does he live?
- Pasadena.
- Hey, Jordan Rosewall, his
wife is a friend of Adele's,
very wealthy.
- No shit.
- See what you can get on
him before they spring him.
- We oughta check him for priors.
- He's clean, no worse than
a couple of speeding tickets.
Can I see that?
Ms. Rosewall, hi, how you
doing, this is Wes Dalton.
Is Jordan there?
Ah, mmm, when do you expect him back?
Nah, I was just trying to
find him before he left.
All right, well I'll just
give him a call tomorrow?
All right, okay, thanks a lot, bye.
He's supposed to be in
Chicago on business.
Due back sometime tonight.
He's been gone two days.
- You coming with us?
- You go ahead.
- Listen, squeeze all you can out of him.
I'll be there in a minute.
- I can't stall his lawyer forever.
- Excuse me.
What are you doing?
- Working backwards.
He's been somewhere for the last two days
and it wasn't Chicago.
Let me call up every reported
homicide geographically
within the last two days.
- That'd take weeks.
- All right, what about just today?
- No, no time to check it out.
- Best guess.
- How 'bout that one?
- Rainy days get you hot, don't they?
Make you do crazy things?
Is that what it takes to get you off, huh?
- Look, spare me the playground
psychology, would you?
- Fuck him, fuck you, and
your whole fucking family.
What's up?
Huh?
- He's just not cooperating.
- What, what, what, are you, what are you,
what do we look like, fucking
assholes to you, what?
- You know what, you're a
serious disappointment to me,
Rosewall, beautiful wife, nice kids.
- Jesus.
- Do I know you?
- I know you.
- All right, that's it, that's it,
I'm not saying another word
until I speak with my attorney.
- That's it then, let's go.
- Okay, why--
- Fuck him!
- What the fuck is
going on with you guys?
- Shh, you did great, you
did great, come on, baby.
Come on.
Attaboy.
No.
- Hey.
- I would like to confer with my client.
- Of course.
- Oh, great.
- Jordan...
- Perfect.
- Little bit of effort, huh?
- Ooh.
- Kinda hard to imagine
a guy like Rosewall
would stay at a place like this, Jesus.
- Part of the turnon.
- Check this out.
Check it out.
- A gynecologist's convention.
- Look at the cassavas on this babe.
- Hey, check those drawers.
- God love you.
- Shit.
Nothing here, man.
- So what do you think, seriously?
- Look, you see it's dark in here?
- Come on.
- It was a busy night.
Coulda been him, could be this guy too.
- This guy?
- Yeah.
- Get serious.
- The guy you should talk to
is angel, the big black dude.
Pimp.
He musta got a good look at him.
- And where do we find him?
- He hasn't been in since
someone kicked the shit
outta him, must be holed up somewhere.
Now can I get you guys a drink or what?
- Right idea, wrong place.
- How much for the or what?
- I gotta go, I'll see
you in a little bit.
- Come on, you'll stay
for a drink, won't you?
I won't hear of it, night
shift'll find Angel.
You're off duty, Vince, come on, hey,
you need to cultivate
a new circle of friends
if you expect to advance yourself.
Gentlemen.
This is Vincent Capra.
His partner Reese is the one
groping the waitress here.
They're cops, so be
careful of what you say.
- So what about this Rosewall guy?
- Well, I'll tell you one thing.
The Rosewalls represent serious money,
almost as much as Adele.
- Well, what pushes his buttons?
I mean, a guy marries
young, has more money
than is good for him, not
a typical serial killer,
sounds good, but is he our boy?
- Maybe, but Satin's death was
almost certainly accidental.
No mutilation, no Sewing Circle, no rain.
Reese, how's that beer doing?
- I'd better go home.
- Hey, sorry about that groping thing.
Good night, Reese, drive safe.
- You got something to say, say it.
- You can't even link him to the hooker,
let alone the rain killer.
LAPD's not looking too good on this one.
Three dead women, bungled arrest.
- Spill it out.
- This investigation has gone nowhere.
The bureau wants an arrest or a fall guy.
I don't intend to go down
with you, you understand?
- Gotta go, meeting someone.
- Not leaving already?
- You got a problem with that?
- It'd just be better if you stayed.
- The fuck is the matter with you, Wes?
- That's what it is about you, huh,
you're looking good all
of a sudden, Vince, huh?
- Can't win.
- Hello?
- Adele.
- Wesley.
What do you want?
- I have to see you.
- Really, well, now's not
quite such a good time.
- Why, what are you doing?
- I'm busy, it's none of your business.
- Just a drink.
- Wesley, I'd rather eat
glass, don't do this again.
- You know what?
I think you were a little rough on him.
- Really, well, I wasn't
the one who punched him
in the nose, was I?
- Hey.
- My hero.
- He deserved it.
Tell me about the drugs.
What made you quit?
- I looked like shit.
The drugs stopped working and so did I.
- Doing what?
- Well, if you're that interested,
perhaps I'll show you sometime.
- Oh, really, hmm.
- I nearly gave up my career for cocaine.
I even lost interest in sex.
- Come over here.
- Except as a way to get more.
- Drugs?
- Of course.
- Well, then, you get it back.
- Open the door, open
the door, please, please,
please, let me in, help me,
help me, please, open the door!
- All right, was he tall or short?
- Average, I guess, I don't know.
It all happened so fast.
- No answer at Capra's apartment.
- What about his hair, curly,
straight, light, dark, long?
- Dark, dark, but maybe it was wet.
- She couldn't tell a dick from a donut.
I'm gonna get you with an
artist, see if a sketch
jogs anything, hey, George, you
want to come in here please?
- And Jordan Rosewall is
our prime suspect here.
He has unlimited legal
and financial resources
which makes our job even more difficult
but it can't be an excuse
for our performance.
Now we can't find this pimp called Angel
who might be able to tie
Rosewall to the suspect,
the call girl, Captain, you wanna...
- The crimes indicate a revenge
against the Sewing Circle.
And although Mrs. Rosewall
knows at least one member
of the group, she herself is not a member,
she has never used drugs, and
no connection has been found.
- Where were you last night?
- Without any solid motive,
we're nowhere.
- Busy.
- You've got the list.
Talk to every member of the Sewing circle.
Somebody must know something,
Chief, you have anything
you want to add?
- Yeah, your pensions are
on the line here tonight.
You fuck this up, you're
history, you're outta here.
Tonight's forecast calls
for 80% chance of rain.
Well get going!
Yeah, get the hell out of here.
- Hope everything came out all right.
- You two look beat.
- Yeah, I'm wasted.
- Hey, I'm fine,
what's our next move?
- Sleep, drop dead.
- What's the matter,
Vinnie, no sense of humor?
- You're on your own.
Where you going?
- To bed.
- Later, I want you to catch
this pimp before dickhead does.
- Yeah, sure, I knew that.
- You can leave it right there.
I thought you were my deliveryman.
- I...
Was in the neighborhood, and...
- What's the matter, Vince?
- Hold it, I'm a cop.
Hey, you Angel?
- Yeah, yeah, this look like
heaven to you, white boy?
- Angel, I just want to talk,
we're looking for the guy who beat you up.
Stop, Angel, you stupid fuck, stop!
Open this door, open
this fucking door, Angel,
come on, I just want to talk.
- Show me your badge.
- Okay, here it is.
Hard or easy, it's up to you.
All right, step out.
- I ain't in no shape to run.
- Shut the fuck up, that was stupid, man.
- I remind you, my client's appearance
is a courtesy not to be abused.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Okay, number one, two
steps forward, turn right.
Your other right.
- Anything?
- Step back, number
two, two steps forward.
- I told you, I couldn't see his face.
- Turn right.
- I just don't know, man.
- Step back, number three,
two steps forward.
- You said you'd know him.
- Turn right.
- Ain't none of these dudes, right.
He was bigger, meaner looking.
- Step back.
Number four, two steps
forward, turn right.
Step back.
Number five, two steps
forward, turn right.
- I think that's him,
man, that could be him,
right there, number four.
- You positive?
- Yeah.
Or number six.
Man, I'm just not sure.
- Step back.
- So tell me some good news.
- No positive ID, no case.
I can bargain the felony
count down to a misdemeanor.
As a first offender, you get probation.
- Hey man, look it was either
him or it was number six.
Now what is the motherfucking problem?
- Number six was a cop.
- You'd've made a lousy witness anyway.
- Ah, man, well, fuck you too.
- Mr. Rosewall, there's a note for you.
- Something's up.
- I'll run you home.
- No, thanks, I got some business today.
- Who gave you that note
to give to Rosewall?
- I don't know, wasn't there one minute,
next minute it was.
- Great.
- We got a stakeout across the street.
I've alerted the doorman,
just keep your door locked.
There's something I got to ask you.
- Well, why don't we talk in bed?
Hey.
- You say drugs kept you and Wes together.
What does that mean, exactly?
- Well, it means the feds can
get the best stuff, right?
The truth is, when I went straight,
I didn't need Wes anymore
and I was heading right
for the bottom of the
pile, the way Wes is now.
- What do you mean, the way Wes is now?
- Wes had a bigger habit than I ever had.
You didn't know that?
- How far will he go to get you back?
- Adele, it's me.
I know you're there.
Tell Vince that Hacket's looking for him.
Must be nice to take the day off.
Hope you two had a good time.
- You need to go.
- How's our coverage?
- Well, we've got uniforms at
all the confirmed locations.
We're spread pretty thin.
- Have we heard from Capra yet?
- On his way in.
When you get these women on the phone,
ask if they've heard of any
tragedies in the Circle,
before the murders started, anything.
- Christ, they're all tragedies.
- Tonight, we get him.
- Where are you going?
Where are you going?
- Yeah?
Here you go.
Take care.
- Wesley?
You scared the shit out of me.
What are you wearing?
- You're so beautiful.
- Wesley, what do you want?
How did you get in here?
- I liked being rich.
I liked having you.
My wife.
- Wesley...
You look awful.
Do you want to sleep?
- Is it as good when he's inside you?
Do you come more with him?
You let him do that to you.
What we did.
- Wesley, let it go.
- Let it go?
Let it go!
- God's having a pissing
contest out there.
- 33 locations, that's too fucking many,
we don't have enough men to cover this.
- I'll get some if I
have to call the sheriff.
- Do we know where Rosewall is?
- Hasn't been home and
his lawyer's not talking.
- Where's Wesley?
- He went out a little while ago.
He was pretty sure tonight's the night.
- Wesley!
- Somebody's coming.
- Hello?
- A man came in a few minutes ago.
He must've gone up.
- Brilliant.
Better call an ambulance.
Don't let anybody in or out.
- Get some men to cover
the basement and garage.
A man posted here in the lobby, Vince!
- Don't touch her.
- We want 'em alive, Wes.
On the right, 12C, hey!
Wesley.
- Back off, Vince.
Just back off.
- Hey, fuck face!
- Freeze!
- All right, all right,
don't shoot, don't shoot!
- He was on the roof.
- Dead?
- You bet.
You were screwing her, weren't you?
- That woulda really pissed her off.
Heiress instead of artist.
- We've got him dead to
rights, bloody footprints
match his shoes, pattern
of the wounds identical,
murder weapon exactly like
the one from Rosewall's car,
the ring.
- MD said she was already
dead before she was stabbed.
- None of the other victims
were smothered or beaten.
This thing with the ring, dammit.
- It's the department's
opinion that a jury
would convict on the evidence
and the FBI's not about to say different.
- The writing in the elevator, Lee?
- We can't prove he wrote it,
and it doesn't prove anything if he did.
- What about Wes?
- Special agent Dalton has resigned.
They don't expect charges against him
under the circumstances.
- The son of a bitch
Rosewall killed his wife.
If Wes ripped his heart
out, I wouldn't blame him.
At least he got all that money.
- Anything unusual happen
with Rosewall at the lineup?
- No.
- Anything bogus happen?
- Well, there was that
business with the note,
that was pretty strange.
Here it is, Cap.
- It's not here.
- Getting ready to sell?
- Don't need to now, I
don't have to do anything
I don't want to do, ever.
- You lost me.
- Her family's not too
happy about it, but.
- Well, yeah, no, it was
just that Reese mentioned
something about you being
rich, I thought it was
from selling this place, that's all.
You were inheriting Adele's estate?
- Well, I don't know
how much it's gonna be
but from the way everybody's acting,
I guess it's gonna be a lot.
Need some money?
- Listen, about Adele and I--
- Don't, just don't.
You don't have to explain anything.
No one could resist
Adele, least of all you.
- Eh.
Just wish I was sure about Rosewall.
- Well, he's dead, sure of that.
Besides, it's no longer my problem.
Either help me clean or get the fuck out.
- Mmm, how 'bout getting drunk?
- Been looking for you guys all over town.
- Can't you see we're busy, what's up?
- You were asking about the knives.
- There were only six
left in the property room.
- Lab tested seven, they're positive.
- Inappropriate time to talk
business, don't you think?
- I'm sorry, Wes.
I gotta go.
- Vince?
You'll stay?
- Til the bitter end.
- What's on your mind, Vince?
- Art.
- I'm surprised at you,
Vince, this is so theatrical.
- First time I saw her,
she was working right over there.
Thought she was a rich lady
with an expensive hobby.
Turns out she was good, even respectable.
Just about ready to have
a nice successful life.
- You want me to feel the tragedy,
this great loss to the world, is that it?
Maybe to mourn for what might
have been for you and Adele?
You want me to understand and forgive you?
- The ring was a big mistake, pal.
- In what way?
- Overkill.
Just little too neat, you
know, it got me thinking.
The envelope that wasn't with his stuff.
The pillow.
The knife that wasn't
in the property room.
- It only seems fair and
right that it comes down
to you and me, it's over, Vince.
I can just let you
bleed, in a half an hour,
come over there and put a
bullet right through your eye.
- Nah.
- Still here, Vince?
- I'm still here, motherfucker.
- I gotta kill you now,
Vince, you know that.
- You killed her, man.
- I killed all of them.
Getting revenge on those
Three Sewing Circle cuts
was a bonus.
- The woman on the train?
- Wasn't involved at all.
Just an FBI witness who
happened to be a member,
a way to get myself on the case.
I played you all like a string section.
I'm inside your head now.
- I thought you loved her.
- I do.
Buying me off with that goddamn townhouse
when she was worth millions,
pay me support, trade me in.
She owes me.
Almost couldn't go
through with it, though,
that was the funny thing.
- You're a very sick man.
- Well.
I thought you of all people
would understand, Vince.
Killing her was Plan B.
Plan A was to scare her back to me.
I couldn't let anybody else have her.
I couldn't let you have her.
- Wouldn't have to come back.
- It wasn't finished.
- What's the matter, Vince?
- I gotta get to an emergency room.
- Let it go.
whose body was discovered
early this morning
near her home, the victim
has been identified
as 41 year old Margaret Warren.
Police are withholding most details,
but Power News has learned
the victim was stabbed
and mutilated.
Turning now to the weather,
a series of Pacific storms
continues to roll into the southland.
- The San Diegan to
Floritan, Santa Ana,
Anaheim, and San Diego,
now leaving on track seven.
- All aboard!
- Oh, cutting it a little too close.
- Oh my God.
Get the cops on the horn, fast!
- Police officer, nobody
gets off, hey, hey, come on,
get your pinstripe asses back on the train
and don't fuck with me.
Get a team together and
get a list of everybody
who got off the train, come on.
- Lieutenant.
- Yeah.
- Capra.
- Yeah.
- How do you want to play this?
- What do I know, there
was a fucking train.
Detective Capra, police.
Shit.
Every detail from the top.
- I found her just like
that, checked back here
just before we left Union
Station, that's all I know.
- Anybody in here see
someone go through here?
- It could only happen
on one of the older cars.
The new ones are laid out all different.
You think he knew that?
- I don't know, it's possible.
- The guy with the sunglasses.
- You describe him for us sir?
- Overcoat, hat.
Sunglasses with reflective lenses.
He seemed out of place.
- Anybody else see this guy, huh?
- Here you go, cap.
- Shit.
- We gonna write this up or what?
- What's it look like?
- Well.
- Okay.
- You want to talk about it?
- Reese, old buddy, piss off.
- Pissing.
- Captain Hacket, step into my office.
- A woman gets ripped on
a train, there tend to be
a few questions.
- I'm really not up for this.
- Elizabeth Collinger,
senior editor, Christ.
Somebody prominent.
- I'm a fucking lifeguard
in a slaughterhouse, man.
- What have you got?
- A big zero, trainload of
people, nobody saw anything,
the lab?
- They found a plastic
raincoat on the tracks,
sold all over town.
He used it like a butcher's
apron, it's untraceable.
No weapon, looks like we got
ourselves a real smart psycho
and look at you.
- I need some R&R, Lee.
- There's more, the ME says
the wounds are identical
to a murder in Brentwood
day before yesterday.
- Don't tell me that.
- I need you on your feet.
My office, eight AM.
Sober.
- There are much easier
places to kill somebody.
He took a big risk, why?
- Showing off.
- Okay, I'll buy that.
- Brentwood murder
didn't get much airplay.
Maybe he was trying to
do something spectacular.
- He wants our attention, he's got it.
- So what do we do now?
- Round up the usual perverts.
- To start with, he may have a pattern.
Look for a link between the victims.
- No connection except they
were all well to do women
of about the same age.
- And the rain.
- What about it?
- When they were both
killed, it was raining.
- There's something wrong with, oh!
Oh, somebody help me, oh!
No!
- How's it going, Roden,
they check your ID
before you came in here?
Eh, what are you gonna do about a city
that gets its annual rainfall
in just two weeks, eh?
New York, Boston, Chicago,
those are real cities, Lee.
- Is this the Wild Turkey talking?
- Oh, you'd rather talk
about how silly we look
on this thing, huh?
- Look, this guy is
smart, he's systematic.
The way he picks his victims,
the risk of open places,
the close escapes.
- No evidence.
The rain washes everything clean.
- Maybe it turns him on.
- Always made me feel like screwing.
- When you were looking for
a link between the victims,
you didn't run it by the DEA, did you?
- DEA, no, why, what's
drugs got to do with this?
- I don't know yet, but
the feds are in on this.
You'll be working with
an FBI agent from now on.
- Captain, not for nothing.
This thing gets solved on the
streets, not behind a desk.
- Hey, he can't do any worse than we have.
- When can I expect him, captain?
- He'll contact us, cooperate.
- Asshole.
What's up, Captain?
- FBI decided to part
with a little information.
All three victims were in drug rehab.
- Different programs and different years.
- Hey, it's the only common
denominator we've got.
- What's federal IO, captain?
- She was a federally protected witness,
new identity in exchange for testimony.
It's possible the people she
testified against found her,
but that doesn't account for
the killing of the other two.
- So where does that leave us?
- At least we've narrowed the
field of potential victims.
- Women between 30 and 50 from drug rehab.
Could be thousands of 'em, Lee.
So...
What about this hotshot agent?
- The feds aren't your problem.
- It's me.
Look, I'm sorry to bother
you, it's business, all right?
You could be in danger.
I'm not trying to frighten
you, listen to me.
Someone is killing wealthy
women, former users.
I couldn't help--
Thinking of you.
- How 'bout this fucking
LA weather, man, eh?
20% chance of rain, oh,
wait a minute, here we go.
Get a load of this, will you?
Now this looks more like a fashion show
than a bunch of ex-junkies, right?
Goddamn assertiveness training.
Now who's got Maggie?
- Captain, somebody's on my tail.
He's getting close.
Close in, close in!
- You move, I splatter
you, you cocksucker,
don't fucking move, don't fucking move.
Take it fucking easy, there you go.
What are you doing here tonight, eh, eh?
Got nothing better to do,
out for a little stroll, eh,
you cocksucker, eh?
Oh yeah, oh, oh, what do
we have here, what the fuck
do we have here, what, are
you the lone fucking ranger
or what?
- Federal agent, you dumb shit.
- Lieutenant.
- Hold it, hold it.
Check out his ID.
- Come on, man, he looks
like a fucking ad for GQ.
- Wesley Dalton, special agent.
- Shoot, what the fuck
are you doing here, man?
She was our decoy.
You all right, Maggie?
- Yeah.
- Okay, you'll be all right.
You want to fuck around,
man, you want to work solo?
Bullshit, this is what happens.
- I work alone 'cause of apes like you.
- I'm an ape, I'm a fucking ape?
- Lieutenant, not here, not now.
- I'll take my weapon.
- His gun.
- Stay away from me, cowboy.
- A female officer nearly gets killed
while you rough up a federal agent.
- You make it sound so bad.
- Vince, I've looked
the other way, lately,
but there's a limit, you're
going back in the game, right?
- Yes, yes, coach.
- Okay, you work with
Dalton and that's that.
There's no second choice.
Mr. Dalton?
- He's a lightweight, captain,
he couldn't find his ass
with both hands.
Listen, Dalton...
I'm sorry.
- Forget it.
- Well, here they are,
007, scumbags on parade.
- Now what's this,
the comic relief?
- No, this is the cream of the crop, pal.
- You don't think we're gonna
find a guy in this bunch?
- They fit the general description.
- All right, who's got the smallest dick?
Number six, what are
you, a fucking comedian?
Nice, taxpayers know about this?
- Not that it matters, but it's mine.
- You got style, Wesley, you got style.
Where we going?
- To find a lead, not that
you'd know one if it bit you.
- Know the difference between a porcupine
and a Mercedes driver?
- Huh?
- On the porcupine, the
prick's on the outside.
- What is this?
- Don't say anything.
- I'll try not to fart.
- This way, gentlemen.
- Hey, Mr. Dalton, I've
been expecting you.
- How you doing, this is Mr.
Capra, he'll be joining us
today, Mr. Allenby.
- Fine.
If you'll come this
way, please, thank you.
Mr. Capra?
- Thank you.
- Elizabeth Collinger, the
woman who died on the train,
I was her control officer,
some of my best work
on new identity, no family
and she was very cooperative.
New face, new name, even a new voice.
Such a waste.
- So you placed her in the rehab program?
- I was obligated under the agreement
but I don't think she needed
that much supervision.
Her drug habit seemed to
end with her old life.
- No relapse?
- That I'm aware of.
She even joined the women's support group
after she left the program.
- Remember the name of the group?
- Let me see, it was something homey
and old fashioned sounding.
The Quilters or Knitters,
something like that.
- The Sewing Circle.
- Yeah, that was it.
Rather ironic for a
group of former addicts.
- Let's do it, Sewing Circle.
Want to tell me about it?
- There's nothing to tell,
rich bitch ex-junkies.
- That's it?
- Hey, it's none of your business.
- Hey, look, Wesley,
hey, I'll fuck you up.
You hold out information
on me, you understand?
- You're too late.
- Shit.
- Ah, good evening, good evening.
I'm conducting a modest
sociological survey
on how the other half lives.
- Very well, thank you, good of you
not to kick down the door.
- Well.
- You want a drink?
- Ah.
Eh, twisted my arm.
Yeah.
Eh, this is place is
un-fucking-believable.
I didn't think the FBI got paid that well.
- A going away present from my wife.
- Hmm, that's some present.
Where'd she go?
- Another planet.
Three blocks away.
Christ, you're a nosy
bastard, you know that?
You have any reason for dropping by here
other than to discuss the
tragedy of my marriage?
- Mmm.
Sewing Circle.
- The victims were all members.
- You knew that?
- Just a lucky guess.
I tried to warn her about
these murders, but...
She thought I was trying to frighten her.
I suppose I thought
maybe if she needed me--
- Oh, wait, wait, wait, back up a minute,
your wife was a former user?
- And a member of the Sewing Circle.
- Shit.
Any vodka?
- Shh, shh.
- Sit on my face and I'll guess your wait.
- Hey, that's rude, man.
- All right, I won't guess your weight.
- You're smashed.
- What makes you say that?
- Well, look at you.
- Oh.
- Who's your friend?
- Him?
He's nobody.
The salt of the earth in an open wound.
- Oh, really?
Well, he looks very interesting.
- Don't be ridiculous.
- Hi, I'm Adele Riordan.
- Vince Capra, homicide detective.
Nice to meet you.
- Wesley seems to be moving
in slightly different circles
these days.
- I'm sorry, it's so late and
we're so shitfaced.
- You can always spot
the Harvard graduates.
- That's quite all right, Mr. Capra.
This is actually one of
Wes's more amusing surprises.
- Wait a minute, since when
are you back to using Riordan?
We're not divorced yet.
- Wes thinks if he ignores
it, it'll just go away.
I guess that's how I deal with him.
Take your jacket off, relax,
I'll get you boys some coffee.
- You look wonderful.
- Happiness agrees with me.
- Adele, about the murders, look--
- It has nothing to do with me.
I don't want to talk about it, okay?
- You may be wrong, ma'am.
- This is a private conversation.
- Sorry.
- You and I have nothing to talk about
that Vince can't hear.
- All right, that's what you want.
- Wesley's so agreeable with you.
You must be the money.
- Adele, we've got three
victims and they were all
in your support group.
- It's called the Sewing Circle.
- We could use a list
of members, addresses,
phone numbers, you know, things like that.
- You guys are serious, aren't you?
- It's murder, ma'am.
- You'll have to talk to
Sarah Keller about it.
She's the chairwoman.
You know there's over
100 members in the group.
- Oh, we're not saying
that he's out to kill
the lot of you.
- And I don't even know
the woman on the train.
- You knew Maggie Warren and Marilyn Boyd.
- And besides.
I have you two, don't I?
- But...
We can't be with you day and night.
Why don't you take a vacation?
You know, go outta town a while?
- I'm sorry, I can't.
- How did I know you were gonna say that?
- Cording should be thin
enough to pass twice
through the B board.
- I hate this sissy poo shit.
- Ah, Sarah Keller.
- Yes, what can I do for you?
- Well, I'm Detective Capra and
this is Special Agent Dalton
- Oh, yes, Wesley.
Adele told me you'd be stopping by.
I was sorry it didn't
work out with you two.
- We saved her life,
that's what's important.
Do you have the list?
- This is the current roster.
- Thank you.
Do you have any idea who did this?
- For every person who gets well,
there's another who gets hurt.
I've no doubt there are
those who would blame
the circle for something real or imagined,
but who could do something like this?
- You might want to cancel
your meetings, ma'am.
- Out of the question.
My women'll need support more than ever.
Now if there's nothing else.
- No, you've been very kind,
thank you, Mrs. Keller.
- Ms.
- Vince.
Come in.
- Are you checking up on me?
- Obvious?
- Is that because you're supposed to
or because you want to?
Can I get you a drink?
- No thanks.
I didn't think you...
- I don't.
But that doesn't mean you can't.
- I'd just as soon as...
Not dull my senses.
- I like the sound of that.
So what are we doing?
- Checking each other out, I guess.
I was wondering.
What kinda guy makes moves
on the wife of the guy
that he's working with?
- Ex-wife.
Is that what you're doing?
Making moves?
- I'm trying.
- What'll it be, Mac?
- Got a beer?
- Sure.
Two drink minimum, 10 bucks.
- 10 bucks, eh?
10 bucks, keep it.
- Something else I can do for you?
Name's Satin, it'll cost you 100.
- Deal.
- Have a seat at the first table.
- How's it going, good?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, good, good.
You're...
You're a great dancer, you know that?
- So you got someplace we can go?
- Yeah, yeah, I got a room, it's...
Not far.
It should be all right, just relax.
- You know, an extra 100
gets you the whole night.
I'll make it worth it.
- I'll bet you will, you got a deal.
- All right, maybe I
score some blow and...
- That's covered.
I got everything we need.
- Hi baby, how you doing,
little miss nobody?
Hey, man, how you doing?
Say man, you wanna deal
with these bitches?
Well, then, you got to talk to me.
- I don't work for you, Angel.
- It don't look right,
you working freelance.
- Good night.
- Angel, not here,
take it outside.
- Motherfucker.
I'll see you later.
Bye, baby.
- Are you crazy?
- Are you ready?
Come on, let's go.
- Can I ask you something?
- Mhmm.
- Why me?
- 'Cause you smelled good.
It's a secret.
- Okay.
Does that mean stupid?
- No, it means honest.
- Okay.
You know...
I bet we don't even have
the same silver pattern
or anything.
- Hey, relax.
I'm a work in progress, okay?
So we just take it one day at a time.
- Oh, okay.
We could.
- Hi baby.
- Hi.
- Oh, you're beautiful, baby, ooh, yeah,
that's what I want, that's what I want.
- Hey, babe.
- You know what you want?
- You got something for me, huh?
- Oh, yeah, I do, right here.
Right there.
- Yeah, but...
We gotta take care of business first.
- Business, first, what'd
we talk about, huh?
What'd we say, baby, we'd say 200?
Is that it, well, I'll tell you what.
Why don't we do...
Four, baby, huh?
Huh?
Yeah.
- Are you rich or something?
- Baby, forget about the
ring, baby, wasting time.
- You're still dressed, huh?
- You want me to take it off?
- Yeah, you gotta show
me what you got, huh?
- Okay.
- Let me see it.
- You got it, baby.
- Slowly, huh?
- Okay, talk to me.
- Oh, yeah, baby.
So, Satin, tell me, what's your real name?
- I told you, it's Kathy,
what's your real name, huh?
- Call me Dick.
- Jesus, I don't know
if I can handle that.
- Oh, you can handle it,
baby, you can handle it
and you will.
- What have you got in here anyway, huh?
- It's nothing, it's nothing.
- Wait, what are these?
- Nothing, babe.
Give me a little of that, please.
Yeah, come on, baby.
Lean back, lean back,
just like that, baby.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, mmm.
Ooh, give me your arm, baby,
put your wrist in there,
that's it, that's it,
baby, give me your wrist,
that's it, Kathy, I
promise I won't hurt you.
I won't hurt you, baby.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, baby.
- Hey baby.
Kathy?
Kathy?
Kathy, wake up, wake
up, oh, fuck, goddammit,
Kathy, wake up, wake up, oh shit.
- Hold it, freeze!
Hands behind your head.
You have the right to remain silent,
and anything you say can
and will be sued against you
in a court of law.
You have the right to an
attorney, you have the right
to have the attorney--
- Jordan Richard Rosewall,
felony hit and run,
drug possession, possession
of deadly weapons.
He'll probably beat the
drugs and weapons charges
on illegal search.
- Where does he live?
- Pasadena.
- Hey, Jordan Rosewall, his
wife is a friend of Adele's,
very wealthy.
- No shit.
- See what you can get on
him before they spring him.
- We oughta check him for priors.
- He's clean, no worse than
a couple of speeding tickets.
Can I see that?
Ms. Rosewall, hi, how you
doing, this is Wes Dalton.
Is Jordan there?
Ah, mmm, when do you expect him back?
Nah, I was just trying to
find him before he left.
All right, well I'll just
give him a call tomorrow?
All right, okay, thanks a lot, bye.
He's supposed to be in
Chicago on business.
Due back sometime tonight.
He's been gone two days.
- You coming with us?
- You go ahead.
- Listen, squeeze all you can out of him.
I'll be there in a minute.
- I can't stall his lawyer forever.
- Excuse me.
What are you doing?
- Working backwards.
He's been somewhere for the last two days
and it wasn't Chicago.
Let me call up every reported
homicide geographically
within the last two days.
- That'd take weeks.
- All right, what about just today?
- No, no time to check it out.
- Best guess.
- How 'bout that one?
- Rainy days get you hot, don't they?
Make you do crazy things?
Is that what it takes to get you off, huh?
- Look, spare me the playground
psychology, would you?
- Fuck him, fuck you, and
your whole fucking family.
What's up?
Huh?
- He's just not cooperating.
- What, what, what, are you, what are you,
what do we look like, fucking
assholes to you, what?
- You know what, you're a
serious disappointment to me,
Rosewall, beautiful wife, nice kids.
- Jesus.
- Do I know you?
- I know you.
- All right, that's it, that's it,
I'm not saying another word
until I speak with my attorney.
- That's it then, let's go.
- Okay, why--
- Fuck him!
- What the fuck is
going on with you guys?
- Shh, you did great, you
did great, come on, baby.
Come on.
Attaboy.
No.
- Hey.
- I would like to confer with my client.
- Of course.
- Oh, great.
- Jordan...
- Perfect.
- Little bit of effort, huh?
- Ooh.
- Kinda hard to imagine
a guy like Rosewall
would stay at a place like this, Jesus.
- Part of the turnon.
- Check this out.
Check it out.
- A gynecologist's convention.
- Look at the cassavas on this babe.
- Hey, check those drawers.
- God love you.
- Shit.
Nothing here, man.
- So what do you think, seriously?
- Look, you see it's dark in here?
- Come on.
- It was a busy night.
Coulda been him, could be this guy too.
- This guy?
- Yeah.
- Get serious.
- The guy you should talk to
is angel, the big black dude.
Pimp.
He musta got a good look at him.
- And where do we find him?
- He hasn't been in since
someone kicked the shit
outta him, must be holed up somewhere.
Now can I get you guys a drink or what?
- Right idea, wrong place.
- How much for the or what?
- I gotta go, I'll see
you in a little bit.
- Come on, you'll stay
for a drink, won't you?
I won't hear of it, night
shift'll find Angel.
You're off duty, Vince, come on, hey,
you need to cultivate
a new circle of friends
if you expect to advance yourself.
Gentlemen.
This is Vincent Capra.
His partner Reese is the one
groping the waitress here.
They're cops, so be
careful of what you say.
- So what about this Rosewall guy?
- Well, I'll tell you one thing.
The Rosewalls represent serious money,
almost as much as Adele.
- Well, what pushes his buttons?
I mean, a guy marries
young, has more money
than is good for him, not
a typical serial killer,
sounds good, but is he our boy?
- Maybe, but Satin's death was
almost certainly accidental.
No mutilation, no Sewing Circle, no rain.
Reese, how's that beer doing?
- I'd better go home.
- Hey, sorry about that groping thing.
Good night, Reese, drive safe.
- You got something to say, say it.
- You can't even link him to the hooker,
let alone the rain killer.
LAPD's not looking too good on this one.
Three dead women, bungled arrest.
- Spill it out.
- This investigation has gone nowhere.
The bureau wants an arrest or a fall guy.
I don't intend to go down
with you, you understand?
- Gotta go, meeting someone.
- Not leaving already?
- You got a problem with that?
- It'd just be better if you stayed.
- The fuck is the matter with you, Wes?
- That's what it is about you, huh,
you're looking good all
of a sudden, Vince, huh?
- Can't win.
- Hello?
- Adele.
- Wesley.
What do you want?
- I have to see you.
- Really, well, now's not
quite such a good time.
- Why, what are you doing?
- I'm busy, it's none of your business.
- Just a drink.
- Wesley, I'd rather eat
glass, don't do this again.
- You know what?
I think you were a little rough on him.
- Really, well, I wasn't
the one who punched him
in the nose, was I?
- Hey.
- My hero.
- He deserved it.
Tell me about the drugs.
What made you quit?
- I looked like shit.
The drugs stopped working and so did I.
- Doing what?
- Well, if you're that interested,
perhaps I'll show you sometime.
- Oh, really, hmm.
- I nearly gave up my career for cocaine.
I even lost interest in sex.
- Come over here.
- Except as a way to get more.
- Drugs?
- Of course.
- Well, then, you get it back.
- Open the door, open
the door, please, please,
please, let me in, help me,
help me, please, open the door!
- All right, was he tall or short?
- Average, I guess, I don't know.
It all happened so fast.
- No answer at Capra's apartment.
- What about his hair, curly,
straight, light, dark, long?
- Dark, dark, but maybe it was wet.
- She couldn't tell a dick from a donut.
I'm gonna get you with an
artist, see if a sketch
jogs anything, hey, George, you
want to come in here please?
- And Jordan Rosewall is
our prime suspect here.
He has unlimited legal
and financial resources
which makes our job even more difficult
but it can't be an excuse
for our performance.
Now we can't find this pimp called Angel
who might be able to tie
Rosewall to the suspect,
the call girl, Captain, you wanna...
- The crimes indicate a revenge
against the Sewing Circle.
And although Mrs. Rosewall
knows at least one member
of the group, she herself is not a member,
she has never used drugs, and
no connection has been found.
- Where were you last night?
- Without any solid motive,
we're nowhere.
- Busy.
- You've got the list.
Talk to every member of the Sewing circle.
Somebody must know something,
Chief, you have anything
you want to add?
- Yeah, your pensions are
on the line here tonight.
You fuck this up, you're
history, you're outta here.
Tonight's forecast calls
for 80% chance of rain.
Well get going!
Yeah, get the hell out of here.
- Hope everything came out all right.
- You two look beat.
- Yeah, I'm wasted.
- Hey, I'm fine,
what's our next move?
- Sleep, drop dead.
- What's the matter,
Vinnie, no sense of humor?
- You're on your own.
Where you going?
- To bed.
- Later, I want you to catch
this pimp before dickhead does.
- Yeah, sure, I knew that.
- You can leave it right there.
I thought you were my deliveryman.
- I...
Was in the neighborhood, and...
- What's the matter, Vince?
- Hold it, I'm a cop.
Hey, you Angel?
- Yeah, yeah, this look like
heaven to you, white boy?
- Angel, I just want to talk,
we're looking for the guy who beat you up.
Stop, Angel, you stupid fuck, stop!
Open this door, open
this fucking door, Angel,
come on, I just want to talk.
- Show me your badge.
- Okay, here it is.
Hard or easy, it's up to you.
All right, step out.
- I ain't in no shape to run.
- Shut the fuck up, that was stupid, man.
- I remind you, my client's appearance
is a courtesy not to be abused.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Okay, number one, two
steps forward, turn right.
Your other right.
- Anything?
- Step back, number
two, two steps forward.
- I told you, I couldn't see his face.
- Turn right.
- I just don't know, man.
- Step back, number three,
two steps forward.
- You said you'd know him.
- Turn right.
- Ain't none of these dudes, right.
He was bigger, meaner looking.
- Step back.
Number four, two steps
forward, turn right.
Step back.
Number five, two steps
forward, turn right.
- I think that's him,
man, that could be him,
right there, number four.
- You positive?
- Yeah.
Or number six.
Man, I'm just not sure.
- Step back.
- So tell me some good news.
- No positive ID, no case.
I can bargain the felony
count down to a misdemeanor.
As a first offender, you get probation.
- Hey man, look it was either
him or it was number six.
Now what is the motherfucking problem?
- Number six was a cop.
- You'd've made a lousy witness anyway.
- Ah, man, well, fuck you too.
- Mr. Rosewall, there's a note for you.
- Something's up.
- I'll run you home.
- No, thanks, I got some business today.
- Who gave you that note
to give to Rosewall?
- I don't know, wasn't there one minute,
next minute it was.
- Great.
- We got a stakeout across the street.
I've alerted the doorman,
just keep your door locked.
There's something I got to ask you.
- Well, why don't we talk in bed?
Hey.
- You say drugs kept you and Wes together.
What does that mean, exactly?
- Well, it means the feds can
get the best stuff, right?
The truth is, when I went straight,
I didn't need Wes anymore
and I was heading right
for the bottom of the
pile, the way Wes is now.
- What do you mean, the way Wes is now?
- Wes had a bigger habit than I ever had.
You didn't know that?
- How far will he go to get you back?
- Adele, it's me.
I know you're there.
Tell Vince that Hacket's looking for him.
Must be nice to take the day off.
Hope you two had a good time.
- You need to go.
- How's our coverage?
- Well, we've got uniforms at
all the confirmed locations.
We're spread pretty thin.
- Have we heard from Capra yet?
- On his way in.
When you get these women on the phone,
ask if they've heard of any
tragedies in the Circle,
before the murders started, anything.
- Christ, they're all tragedies.
- Tonight, we get him.
- Where are you going?
Where are you going?
- Yeah?
Here you go.
Take care.
- Wesley?
You scared the shit out of me.
What are you wearing?
- You're so beautiful.
- Wesley, what do you want?
How did you get in here?
- I liked being rich.
I liked having you.
My wife.
- Wesley...
You look awful.
Do you want to sleep?
- Is it as good when he's inside you?
Do you come more with him?
You let him do that to you.
What we did.
- Wesley, let it go.
- Let it go?
Let it go!
- God's having a pissing
contest out there.
- 33 locations, that's too fucking many,
we don't have enough men to cover this.
- I'll get some if I
have to call the sheriff.
- Do we know where Rosewall is?
- Hasn't been home and
his lawyer's not talking.
- Where's Wesley?
- He went out a little while ago.
He was pretty sure tonight's the night.
- Wesley!
- Somebody's coming.
- Hello?
- A man came in a few minutes ago.
He must've gone up.
- Brilliant.
Better call an ambulance.
Don't let anybody in or out.
- Get some men to cover
the basement and garage.
A man posted here in the lobby, Vince!
- Don't touch her.
- We want 'em alive, Wes.
On the right, 12C, hey!
Wesley.
- Back off, Vince.
Just back off.
- Hey, fuck face!
- Freeze!
- All right, all right,
don't shoot, don't shoot!
- He was on the roof.
- Dead?
- You bet.
You were screwing her, weren't you?
- That woulda really pissed her off.
Heiress instead of artist.
- We've got him dead to
rights, bloody footprints
match his shoes, pattern
of the wounds identical,
murder weapon exactly like
the one from Rosewall's car,
the ring.
- MD said she was already
dead before she was stabbed.
- None of the other victims
were smothered or beaten.
This thing with the ring, dammit.
- It's the department's
opinion that a jury
would convict on the evidence
and the FBI's not about to say different.
- The writing in the elevator, Lee?
- We can't prove he wrote it,
and it doesn't prove anything if he did.
- What about Wes?
- Special agent Dalton has resigned.
They don't expect charges against him
under the circumstances.
- The son of a bitch
Rosewall killed his wife.
If Wes ripped his heart
out, I wouldn't blame him.
At least he got all that money.
- Anything unusual happen
with Rosewall at the lineup?
- No.
- Anything bogus happen?
- Well, there was that
business with the note,
that was pretty strange.
Here it is, Cap.
- It's not here.
- Getting ready to sell?
- Don't need to now, I
don't have to do anything
I don't want to do, ever.
- You lost me.
- Her family's not too
happy about it, but.
- Well, yeah, no, it was
just that Reese mentioned
something about you being
rich, I thought it was
from selling this place, that's all.
You were inheriting Adele's estate?
- Well, I don't know
how much it's gonna be
but from the way everybody's acting,
I guess it's gonna be a lot.
Need some money?
- Listen, about Adele and I--
- Don't, just don't.
You don't have to explain anything.
No one could resist
Adele, least of all you.
- Eh.
Just wish I was sure about Rosewall.
- Well, he's dead, sure of that.
Besides, it's no longer my problem.
Either help me clean or get the fuck out.
- Mmm, how 'bout getting drunk?
- Been looking for you guys all over town.
- Can't you see we're busy, what's up?
- You were asking about the knives.
- There were only six
left in the property room.
- Lab tested seven, they're positive.
- Inappropriate time to talk
business, don't you think?
- I'm sorry, Wes.
I gotta go.
- Vince?
You'll stay?
- Til the bitter end.
- What's on your mind, Vince?
- Art.
- I'm surprised at you,
Vince, this is so theatrical.
- First time I saw her,
she was working right over there.
Thought she was a rich lady
with an expensive hobby.
Turns out she was good, even respectable.
Just about ready to have
a nice successful life.
- You want me to feel the tragedy,
this great loss to the world, is that it?
Maybe to mourn for what might
have been for you and Adele?
You want me to understand and forgive you?
- The ring was a big mistake, pal.
- In what way?
- Overkill.
Just little too neat, you
know, it got me thinking.
The envelope that wasn't with his stuff.
The pillow.
The knife that wasn't
in the property room.
- It only seems fair and
right that it comes down
to you and me, it's over, Vince.
I can just let you
bleed, in a half an hour,
come over there and put a
bullet right through your eye.
- Nah.
- Still here, Vince?
- I'm still here, motherfucker.
- I gotta kill you now,
Vince, you know that.
- You killed her, man.
- I killed all of them.
Getting revenge on those
Three Sewing Circle cuts
was a bonus.
- The woman on the train?
- Wasn't involved at all.
Just an FBI witness who
happened to be a member,
a way to get myself on the case.
I played you all like a string section.
I'm inside your head now.
- I thought you loved her.
- I do.
Buying me off with that goddamn townhouse
when she was worth millions,
pay me support, trade me in.
She owes me.
Almost couldn't go
through with it, though,
that was the funny thing.
- You're a very sick man.
- Well.
I thought you of all people
would understand, Vince.
Killing her was Plan B.
Plan A was to scare her back to me.
I couldn't let anybody else have her.
I couldn't let you have her.
- Wouldn't have to come back.
- It wasn't finished.
- What's the matter, Vince?
- I gotta get to an emergency room.
- Let it go.
