Hell of a big operation for a burglary.
That's why I'm leaving you both here.
These the two lucky guys? Lieutenant Gilmore, this is Detectives Crockett and Tubbs.
Ray, until you think of somethin' cuter.
He acts like we're not gonna like this.
You won't.
Neither do the people in the neighborhood.
Ten of their homes have been hit in the last two months.
And now they're reading the riot act to Councilman Buell.
And we get the fallout.
[Man.]
Get doughnuts while you're at it.
You know the case? Yeah, vaguely.
The guy's a cat.
I guess you could say that.
But I personally don't know any cat burglars that specialize in trousers pants.
Pants? No necklaces.
No wristwatches.
No hoops.
Just pants.
Right this way, gentlemen.
At first, he just used to swipe the lipstick.
Now he's into redecorating.
When did that start? Last four hits.
What's this guy look like? Nobody's seen him.
You mean to tell me, he never wakes anyone up? Not yet.
That's the whole point.
What's the whole point? What's gonna happen when he does wake someone up? Come on.
The good stuff's downstairs.
That's the way he saw it when he drew it.
He always hits the kitchen first.
You dust the sills? [Man.]
No.
They were too porous for prints.
Dust 'em.
And send the meat to the lab.
Our man has a taste for choice cuts.
What about the entry? Never any sign of forced entry.
It's like he just Walls don't mean anything to him.
Get over to Metro and hit the Burglary files.
I want you guys starting at the top of fifth gear.
How far back do you want us to go? Till you find something.
What, are you afraid of a little hard work? Ooh, this guy's a real charmer.
No kiddin'.
Hey, when are we gonna get some real police protection out here? What do you think this is? Hey, you work for us, you jerk! What's your problem, clown? Hey.
Gilmore.
Chill out, man! Gilmore.
It's Lieutenant Gilmore! Who the hell are you? You better be cool, man.
Couple of Vice hotshots, huh? You get to first base with that dude, then you talk to me.
[Groans.]
[Muttering.]
Hello, Captain Cahill.
Well, look who's back downtown.
Come to scrape the gum from under the desk? I see your wife's still got you working the graveyard shift.
Well, it's cheaper than payin' alimony.
You guys detail the burglary? Yeah, a cat case.
So you're working with, uh, Lieutenant Gilmore.
- Mmm.
He's a good man.
- He's a hard pushin' man.
We've gone through over 600 burglary cases since this morning.
So catch him already.
Well, actually we did.
But they made us let him go.
They didn't want to embarrass your family.
[Chuckles.]
[Chuckles.]
[Door Opens.]
[Sighs.]
You wanna wait on the lab reports? Not unless it's written in braille.
My eyes have had it.
- I heard that.
- [Groans.]
What's goin' on? Look.
I got the coming out sheets for all home invaders for the last three years.
Prowlers, Peeping Toms, the works.
I want you to pull the case reports and see if the M.
O.
's check out with our man's profile.
And I want it done tonight, all right? What's that supposed to mean? [Exhales.]
Well, Lieutenant, the records room closed at 11:00.
We're pretty wasted.
Look, the guy we're chasin' doesn't sleep, you don't sleep.
With all due respect, Lieutenant, we know our own pace.
We've worked Burglary before Then I shouldn't have to tell you how to turn on the juice.
Now you call security and get the keys and get it in gear, guys.
I'm busy! [Door Opens, Closes.]
Has this guy Gilmore got a problem or what? No way does he think we're gonna get through these files tonight.
Well, the problem is, he is not thinking.
Besides, I got a better way of finding out who's on the street than this.
Yeah? Looking at these damn files.
I popped a burglar back in 1978 by the name of Wyatt.
Uh-huh.
And this guy is crazy to boot.
Yeah? Then he and Gilmore should have an awful lot to talk about.
Gilmore wants you off the case.
[Sighs.]
Fine with me, pal.
If he doesn't think we can help.
He never did.
The department does.
If he gives you any problems, let me know.
Yeah.
Gilmore is the problem.
He's strung out.
In the immortal words of Lieutenant Castillo, "That's not our decision.
" Here's your guy George T.
Wyatt.
Twenty-two counts of burglary, A.
B.
Convicted June '78.
How'd you grab him? I didn't grab him.
I found him.
He fell off of a terrace and broke his back.
Hear him tell it, you'd think I pushed him.
You know, a lot of guys, they got their wires twisted.
Well, here's one for ya.
This guy's kink was he liked old men.
He used to break in their apartments, where old men were livin' alone Yeah.
Attack 'em in their sleep.
Oh, man.
Beat 'em senseless and then steal their watches and their cuff links and jewelry and stuff like that.
Yeah.
Some kind of father complex, huh? Yeah, somethin' like that.
Oh, boy.
Here we go.
"I would not do this to you.
"What are you doing to me? "If this was your case, I'd stay away.
I resent this, and I want you to know it.
" [Scoffs.]
This guy's beautiful.
Let's go visit this friend of yours.
Keep the change, Benny.
George, I'll need a whirlpool.
I didn't book it.
Oh, that's okay, Mr.
Roth.
We'll fix you right up.
Get you a nice massage too.
Hello, Georgie.
Been keepin' them hands off the merchandise? Not now.
Right now.
Upstairs.
You see now, what did I tell you guys? Isn't this a gorgeous view of Miami? Huh? I love it up here.
It's beautiful.
Uh Hey, look, you guys.
I'm gonna be totally straight with you, okay? I was into merchandise, not hamburger and cake mix.
[Crockett Chuckles.]
You're a trip, Georgie.
But you're not givin' us anything.
I got nothin' to give you.
This guy you're after, he's totally different from me.
It's like this guy I used to know [Clears Throat.]
In the hospital, he only worked penthouses, see? It had nothing to do with robbery.
It was just his particular hang-up.
He would climb 15 stories just to wag at some ugly hausfrau.
Do you know where he is now? No, I don't.
He got fried at Raiford for carving up some woman and a kid.
- Is that a fact? - Yeah.
That's a fact.
- Hey! - Gilmore! Let it go! Gilmore! Come on.
Come on! Come on! Do it! Go ahead.
Crucify me.
[Wyatt.]
He's a sicko, man.
I tell you, sickl So are you! Yeah.
You want me to give him a break in my write-up? Write what you saw.
He just flamed out.
So, Lieutenant, when do we go back to Vice? Now.
We're taking the case.
Get your write-up into Internal Affairs.
Get back to work.
Entry: Zilch.
Description: Zilch.
This guy's like Casper the Ghost.
The only thing we know for sure is he like men's pants, eats raw meat and works houses in the northeast grid.
- And he'll do it again.
- No particular nights, so he probably doesn't have a night job.
He works days and isn't a vegetarian.
Wonderful.
Here's a list of, uh, charity requests from Dade County.
Uh, a neighbor called, said there's a prowler at Northeast 13th and Bay Drive.
Close enough for rock and roll.
[Tubbs.]
You got anything? We just got the call.
He's somewhere near this intersection.
Hey, there's a man in my kitchen.
There's a man in my kitchen.
Go sit in that car, lady.
Look, I'll take the back.
All right.
[Gunshot.]
[Gunshots.]
[Gunshots.]
I got him.
He's in there.
It's over.
[Door Opens, Closes.]
[Groans.]
You wanna catch these guys? You gotta see like 'em, think like 'em, feel like 'em, act like 'em, walk like 'em, talk like 'em, speak like 'em, hear like 'em, eat like 'em, sleep like 'em, walk like 'em, talk like 'em, feel like 'em, eat like 'em, see like 'em, feel like 'em [Police Radio, Indistinct.]
[Muttering, Indistinct.]
Hey, Sonny, I knew he was here, didn't I? I got the right time and I got the right place, didn't I? It was perfect, just like I told you it would be.
Hey, everybody go on home.
Go on home.
He's gone.
He's gone.
He's not gonna bother you anymore, ma'am.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.

Cahill called Gilmore's wife.
She said he hasn't called her for weeks.
There's something about these drawings.
Gilmore was cuing in on 'em.
He likes single-family homes up here in the northeast grid.
It's certain kinds of homes with a certain vibe.
He always does his kitchen act, then he always takes the pants.
He's got a taste for prime cuts and his sneaker size is 10-D.
First, he did the drawings on the kitchen walls, next, the stairs, and now it's the The bedroom.
He's moving closer to his victims.
I gotta go back to all the crime scenes.
In the morning.
[Sighs.]
Mornin', Lieutenant.
After-dinner drink.
I kinda got my schedule turned around.
You look it.
It's funny when you work all night.
The whole world seems like it gets out of sync with you.
[Whispering.]
It's like you can sneak up on it.
[Chuckles.]
It seems that way.
Just think straight.
[Chuckles.]
I don't need to think straight.
I need to think like him.
Thinking undercover Sometimes you can't stop when you need to.
[Sighs.]
The answer we need's not in the book.
It's in his head.
I can't explain it, but I think I'm onto it.
Two coffees.
Make it one.
Cancel the one.

You want us to check along the bay? I'm telling you, l I s swear that he's here.
I think he's getting into these kinds of houses Ones with lots of glass.
And like Like he's He wants somebody to watch him.
We got zip, Sonny.
You want us to keep cruisin'? No.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
It's no problem.
Good night.
We can walk through it again if you want to.
Do you think I'm crazy? No.
I just think that neither one of us have had too much sleep lately.
You didn't answer my question.
Well, there's a thin line between hard work and obsession.
Oh, hell with it.
Let's pack it in.
[Tubbs.]
Was she sexually assaulted? Well, apparently, he tried, but, uh, wasn't able to.
[Woman On P.
A.
, Indistinct.]
Now look, I know you're both very anxious to talk to her, but maybe we would all be better off if you came back a little later.
She's very upset.
Doc, look, we just need a couple of minutes with her.
I'm sure you know how important this is.
Dr.
Malick, Emergency, please.
Look, that's me.
Stay here.
I'll be right back.
He took me into the dining room.
[Sobbing.]
And he made me get on the the table.
And he put flour and lipstick Take it easy, lady.
Please.
Oh, God! Shh.
Easy.
Oh, God.
Just please, keep going.
I thought he was gonna kill me.
[Groans.]
Relax.
Relax, relax, relax.
Just relax.
Now go back into the bedroom when he first came in and tell me, what was he wearing? I can't remember.
He was He was I was just I wet the bed.
When he walked toward you, was there something in his walk or his, uh, build? Did he have a limp? I can't remember.
What was he wearing? UhA shirt.
What color was it? I can't remember! Come on, lady.
Please.
Please.
You gotta please try and help us.
- I'm trying.
- Crockett! I can't remember.
It was so bad.
The answer's with him.
Tell me what you learned from the girl.
He's an earthling.
He walks.
He talks.
He eats, sleeps, lies, cheats.
Nothing.
I've seen every house in the area that's right.
I'm startin' to get a sense of when this guy's gonna move.
And this time, he's gonna go further.
He likes sliding glass doors.
And big windows on the north side of the house.
He pops the doors off the tracks.
Slips inside.
Then he goes into the kitchen.
Finds what he needs.
And then he eats.
Crockett? I wanna set up an all-night detail.
I'll cruise the neighborhood one more time.
And this time I'll try and pick the house.
I'll pick the house.
How can you isolate the target? There's a theme to what this guy is.
And I'm startin' to get the drift of it.
Something doesn't break soon, this goes back to Burglary.
Oh, come on! Damn it, Marty.
Come on! I've put the time in on this! I'm gettin' so close to this guy! I know this guy.
Knowing how to bow out is part of the job.
Gilmore knew him too.
[Car Engine Idling.]
What? I don't like what I feel.
It's called hunger.
It happens when you're runnin' on empty.
Why don't we just tip on over to a restaurant and start the day off with breakfast for a change? I wanna take pictures of all these houses.
Every one of'em.
He's gonna hit one of'em.
Maybe tonight.
If everything's right, yeah.
Yeah.
Don't ask me to explain it.
[Crockett.]
We can't use any vehicles.
That'll spook him.
This has got to be a static stakeout.
You're talkin' camo nets and night scopes? You got it.
Some people are gonna have to cancel their days off.
We're gonna need at least six other bodies if we're gonna cover all these houses.
Well, that's gonna make you real popular.
You run for office.
I'm gonna bag this wacko.
[Phone Rings.]
Crockett.
What? Yeah, we'll be right there.
What is it? They say some guys from Metro just booked my prowler.
Cigarette? Spooky enough for ya? So where'd you find him? Sleepin'.
On some old lady's kitchen floor.
Lido Starr.
L-l-D-O S-T-A-R-R And these are the photos of the scene? [Cahill.]
Yeah, we cuffed him just before he woke up.
Just announced it to the press.
Please don't spell my name wrong, okay? [Man.]
How do you spell it, Lido? Lido Starr.
L-l-D-O S-T-A-R-R.
[Man.]
What about the flour? Tell us about the flour.
[Starr.]
It tastes good.
I like it.
That ain't him.
This guy is a copycat, Lieutenant.
He wants to see his picture on the 11:00 news.
He He's not right.
Prove it.
He matches the M.
O.
Even the photos of his room.
He copied 'em out of a newspaper.
They have a totally different feel.
They have a totally different feell Orders came from downtown.
No more.
He's still out there.
It's over.
[Phone Ringing.]
Yeah.
Yes.
Thank you.
Gilmore wants to see you down at County.
He got something in the mail.
He's been withdrawn since admission.
Tell me about the drawing.
I haven't seen it.
The ward secretary found it on the nursing desk this evening.
Apparently, he became very agitated as soon as he opened it.
I don't know what his response will be.
Where is the drawing now? Mr.
Gilmore has it.
He won't give it up.
[Door Closes.]
Mr.
Gilmore, the detectives have come down to get the newspaper.
Will you give it to them? You give it to me.
Metro booked the dude before this paper was published.
[Taps.]
He's still out there.
[Door Opens, Closes.]
Look, if we grabbed the wrong guy, I'd say so.
But we didn't.
Lab evidence will prove me right.
Now if you want to bring me something to the contrary, I'll open it up.
But until then Yeah? What do you want? How many bodies you want? You want one? You want 10? Fifteen? 'Cause this guy is rubbin' it in our faces! Gentlemen, we got the prowler in a cell downtown.
Now I'm not gonna alarm Greater Miami and waste valuable police manpower because one tired cop decides he's got the vibes.
End of discussion.
Captain.
This guy is gonna draw blood this time and some of it's gonna get on you.
You better get him under control or I'm gonna place him on suspension.
He's comin' out.
Tonight.
I believe in police intuition.
I also believe in fatigue.
You pushed it hard.
Go home.
Get some rest.
Didn't you hear what I said? He's coming out tonight.
You're off duty, Crockett, as of right now.
Sonny [Castillo.]
Stay with him as long as necessary.
I don't want him on the street.
[Car Door Closes.]
Keep the change, babe.
[Register Bell Dings, Drawer Opens.]
Sonny, you still stockin' cognac on the St.
Vitus? Or has Elvis raided your supply? Sonny? This is the one.
You haven't heard a word I said.
We're off this case.
You think I'm losin' it, don't you? Hey look, anyone can go a little crazy if they haven't had sleep in two weeks Sonny! Gilmore.
What? Gilmore was dialed into this guy.
He'd know.
Know what? I got 20 pictures of houses in the northeast grid.
I say this one is the one.
Aw, Sonny.
DWhat ifWhat if Gilmore picked the same one? Sonny, Gilmore's a zombie.
If you think you're gonna have a conversation with him over tea and Thorazine, then - Rico, what have I gotta do? - Sonnyl Tell me! What have I gotta do? All right.
Look Look, look, look Listen.
Take a If he doesn't pick this picture, then we'll go home.
All right.
Okay.
Come on, Gilmore.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on, Gilmore.
Focus, damn it! God.
He's still out there.
He's still out there, man.
He picks a house.
He picks a house.
Damn it, he's already picked one.
You gotta help me.
[Sputtering.]
Crockett chose that picture? Uh-huh.
What are we gonna do about it? We go.
Looks quiet.
I'll take the back.

[Chuckles.]
[Sighs.]
Where do you live? In a house.
I need the exact address.
Where the sun never shines.
I need some tinfoil.
What do you need tinfoil for? To protect my heart.
[Woman.]
Where were you born? I want you at a desk for a couple of days.
[Man.]
In your mind.
How old are you? Older than you.
I'm just tired, Lieutenant.

Cahill called Gilmore's wife.
She said he hasn't called her for weeks.
There's something about these drawings.
Gilmore was cuing in on 'em.
He likes single-family homes up here in the northeast grid.
It's certain kinds of homes with a certain vibe.
He always does his kitchen act, then he always takes the pants.
He's got a taste for prime cuts and his sneaker size is 10-D.
First, he did the drawings on the kitchen walls, next, the stairs, and now it's the The bedroom.
He's moving closer to his victims.
I gotta go back to all the crime scenes.
In the morning.
[Sighs.]
Mornin', Lieutenant.
After-dinner drink.
I kinda got my schedule turned around.
You look it.
It's funny when you work all night.
The whole world seems like it gets out of sync with you.
[Whispering.]
It's like you can sneak up on it.
[Chuckles.]
It seems that way.
Just think straight.
[Chuckles.]
I don't need to think straight.
I need to think like him.
Thinking undercover Sometimes you can't stop when you need to.
[Sighs.]
The answer we need's not in the book.
It's in his head.
I can't explain it, but I think I'm onto it.
Two coffees.
Make it one.
Cancel the one.

And like Like he's He wants somebody to watch him.
We got zip, Sonny.
You want us to keep cruisin'? No.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
It's no problem.
Good night.
We can walk through it again if you want to.
Do you think I'm crazy? No.
I just think that neither one of us have had too much sleep lately.
You didn't answer my question.
Well, there's a thin line between hard work and obsession.
Oh, hell with it.
Let's pack it in.
[Tubbs.]
Was she sexually assaulted? Well, apparently, he tried, but, uh, wasn't able to.
[Woman On P.
A.
, Indistinct.]
Now look, I know you're both very anxious to talk to her, but maybe we would all be better off if you came back a little later.
She's very upset.
Doc, look, we just need a couple of minutes with her.
I'm sure you know how important this is.
Dr.
Malick, Emergency, please.
Look, that's me.
Stay here.
I'll be right back.
He took me into the dining room.
[Sobbing.]
And he made me get on the the table.
And he put flour and lipstick Take it easy, lady.

Now go back into the bedroom when he first came in and tell me, what was he wearing? I can't remember.
He was He was I was just I wet the bed.
When he walked toward you, was there something in his walk or his, uh, build? Did he have a limp? I can't remember.
What was he wearing? UhA shirt.
What color was it? I can't remember! Come on, lady.
Please.
Please.
You gotta please try and help us.
- I'm trying.
- Crockett! I can't remember.
It was so bad.
The answer's with him.
Tell me what you learned from the girl.
He's an earthling.
He walks.
He talks.
He eats, sleeps, lies, cheats.
Nothing.
I've seen every house in the area that's right.
I'm startin' to get a sense of when this guy's gonna move.
And this time, he's gonna go further.
He likes sliding glass doors.
And big windows on the north side of the house.
He pops the doors off the tracks.
Slips inside.
Then he goes into the kitchen.
Finds what he needs.
And then he eats.
Crockett? I wanna set up an all-night detail.
I'll cruise the neighborhood one more time.
And this time I'll try and pick the house.
I'll pick the house.
How can you isolate the target? There's a theme to what this guy is.
And I'm startin' to get the drift of it.
Something doesn't break soon, this goes back to Burglary.
Oh, come on! Damn it, Marty.
Come on! I've put the time in on this! I'm gettin' so close to this guy! I know this guy.
Knowing how to bow out is part of the job.
Gilmore knew him too.
[Car Engine Idling.]
What? I don't like what I feel.
It's called hunger.
It happens when you're runnin' on empty.
Why don't we just tip on over to a restaurant and start the day off with breakfast for a change? I wanna take pictures of all these houses.
Every one of'em.
He's gonna hit one of'em.
Maybe tonight.
If everything's right, yeah.
Yeah.
Don't ask me to explain it.
[Crockett.]
We can't use any vehicles.
That'll spook him.
This has got to be a static stakeout.
You're talkin' camo nets and night scopes? You got it.
Some people are gonna have to cancel their days off.
We're gonna need at least six other bodies if we're gonna cover all these houses.
Well, that's gonna make you real popular.
You run for office.
I'm gonna bag this wacko.
[Phone Rings.]
Crockett.
What? Yeah, we'll be right there.
What is it? They say some guys from Metro just booked my prowler.
Cigarette? Spooky enough for ya? So where'd you find him? Sleepin'.
On some old lady's kitchen floor.
Lido Starr.
L-l-D-O S-T-A-R-R And these are the photos of the scene? [Cahill.]
Yeah, we cuffed him just before he woke up.
Just announced it to the press.
Please don't spell my name wrong, okay? [Man.]
How do you spell it, Lido? Lido Starr.
L-l-D-O S-T-A-R-R.
[Man.]
What about the flour? Tell us about the flour.
[Starr.]
It tastes good.
I like it.
That ain't him.
This guy is a copycat, Lieutenant.
He wants to see his picture on the 11:00 news.
He He's not right.
Prove it.
He matches the M.
O.
Even the photos of his room.
He copied 'em out of a newspaper.
They have a totally different feel.
They have a totally different feell Orders came from downtown.
No more.
He's still out there.
It's over.
[Phone Ringing.]
Yeah.
Yes.
Thank you.
Gilmore wants to see you down at County.
He got something in the mail.
He's been withdrawn since admission.
Tell me about the drawing.
I haven't seen it.
The ward secretary found it on the nursing desk this evening.
Apparently, he became very agitated as soon as he opened it.
I don't know what his response will be.
Where is the drawing now? Mr.
Gilmore has it.
He won't give it up.
[Door Closes.]
Mr.
Gilmore, the detectives have come down to get the newspaper.
Will you give it to them? You give it to me.
Metro booked the dude before this paper was published.
[Taps.]
He's still out there.
[Door Opens, Closes.]
Look, if we grabbed the wrong guy, I'd say so.
But we didn't.
Lab evidence will prove me right.
Now if you want to bring me something to the contrary, I'll open it up.
But until then Yeah? What do you want? How many bodies you want? You want one? You want 10? Fifteen? 'Cause this guy is rubbin' it in our faces! Gentlemen, we got the prowler in a cell downtown.
Now I'm not gonna alarm Greater Miami and waste valuable police manpower because one tired cop decides he's got the vibes.
End of discussion.
Captain.
This guy is gonna draw blood this time and some of it's gonna get on you.
You better get him under control or I'm gonna place him on suspension.
He's comin' out.
Tonight.
I believe in police intuition.
I also believe in fatigue.
You pushed it hard.
Go home.
Get some rest.
Didn't you hear what I said? He's coming out tonight.
You're off duty, Crockett, as of right now.
Sonny [Castillo.]
Stay with him as long as necessary.
I don't want him on the street.
[Car Door Closes.]
Keep the change, babe.
[Register Bell Dings, Drawer Opens.]
Sonny, you still stockin' cognac on the St.
Vitus? Or has Elvis raided your supply? Sonny? This is the one.
You haven't heard a word I said.
We're off this case.
You think I'm losin' it, don't you? Hey look, anyone can go a little crazy if they haven't had sleep in two weeks Sonny! Gilmore.
What? Gilmore was dialed into this guy.
He'd know.
Know what? I got 20 pictures of houses in the northeast grid.
I say this one is the one.
Aw, Sonny.
DWhat ifWhat if Gilmore picked the same one? Sonny, Gilmore's a zombie.
If you think you're gonna have a conversation with him over tea and Thorazine, then - Rico, what have I gotta do? - Sonnyl Tell me! What have I gotta do? All right.
Look Look, look, look Listen.
Take a If he doesn't pick this picture, then we'll go home.

Focus, damn it! God.
He's still out there.
He's still out there, man.

Damn it, he's already picked one.
You gotta help me.
[Sputtering.]
Crockett chose that picture? Uh-huh.
What are we gonna do about it? We go.
Looks quiet.
I'll take the back.

[Chuckles.]
[Sighs.]
Where do you live? In a house.
I need the exact address.
Where the sun never shines.
I need some tinfoil.
What do you need tinfoil for? To protect my heart.
[Woman.]
Where were you born? I want you at a desk for a couple of days.
[Man.]
In your mind.
How old are you? Older than you.
I'm just tired, Lieutenant.
[Continues, Indistinct.]

[Woman.]
That'll make you sick.
I am sick.
