What the hell kind of remark is that?
Your fathers been out
on the firing line for over 20 years.
Oh, God.
Do you have any idea how many
commendations hes received?
Hes an outstanding public servant.
Nobody says he isnt.
But when my mom needed him
or l wanted him, where was he?
Out on the firing line
earning commendations.
What is your problem?
Your fathers a cop.
- Youve gotta make allowances for that.
- lve been doing that for 20 years.
This place is an ulcer factory.
Whats wrong here?
Detective McAnn was just telling me
how much he admires you.
You might call this a testimonial lunch.
Laurie, wait a minute.
Dad, lve gotta go to the lab.
l wanted to tell you
lm sorry l missed you yesterday.
ld like to do better.
Lets have dinner sometime, OK?
Sure.
Why not?
l gotta go.
lt was a pleasure
to see you again, Miss Kessler.
l am good company, arent l?
You wanna go to a party tonight?
- l beg your pardon?
- Were having a party. You wanna come?
- Dad, is he always this slow?
Yes or no? lm late.
Thank you very much but... lm busy.
OK, bye.
- Busy doing what?
- Frankly, l dont think wed get along.
Dad, l forgot. l got an obscene phone call
last night from some creep.
- What did he say?
- The usual garbage.
This one had a Spanish accent.
- About that party tonight, Miss Kessler...
- Yeah?
lve changed my mind.
What time shall l pick you up?
Attach the microphone to the receiver
and to record press these two buttons.
Keep him talking.
Get him to say as much as possible.
- Do you really think its the slasher?
- Better safe than sorry.
This police radio, nobody outside
the departments supposed to have this,
so just use it in case of emergencies only.
- Youre not trying to worry us?
- lm trying to scare the pants off you.
Thats a new approach.
Most fellas do it manually.
Another thing - l dont want you
going anywhere alone, especially at night.
- Was all this your idea?
- No, most of it was your fathers.
For reasons l dont quite comprehend,
he seems to be fond of you.
No accounting for taste.
(disco music )
- lts hot in here.
- What?
- l said its hot in here!
- Take your jacket off.
- What?
- Take your jacket off.
- l cant. l have a gun.
- Why do you have a gun?
Hes an officer of the peace.
lf you disturb the peace, hell kill you.
Hide your cocaine
and no shooting up in the toilet!
Youve just ruined my whole evening.
- Having a good time?
- A wonderful time.
And to think l almost turned you down.
When l was in college
l really used to love this sort of thing.
- l must be getting old.
- You could be.
Do you have any dizziness,
shortness of breath?
- Maybe we should check your prostate.
- Youve got to stop being so shy.
Are you... married?
before you invited me here.
Your moral standards are so high, lm
sure you would have told me if you were.
Besides, the only reason you came here
was cos you thought
l needed protection from Mr Obscene.
- That is not entirely true.
- (woman yells out)
Dont move.
Dont shoot. We werent doing anything.
lts all right. Dont be alarmed.
Just carry on. As you were.
lts OK.
ls that what you call keeping the peace?
- Where are we going?
- Anywhere but here.
(Laurie) Thanks for dinner. lt was terrific.
Thanks for inviting me to the party.
l had a nice time.
l had a date with an intern,
but he had to cancel.
lts OK. l thought he was a pain.
l thought you were too.
l thought you were
fairly obnoxious yourself.
- Changed your mind?
Dont strain your brain.
is get involved with a cop.
l dont blame you.
Good night, Miss Kessler.
What are you doing Saturday?
Saturdays my day off.
(phone rings)
The phone.
- Hello?
- Hi, baby.
Whats doing? How you been?
Oh, its you again.
How about we get together?
What you say?
l dont usually go out with strangers.
What did you say your name was?
Call me Pedro. That means Peter.
l got the biggest one youve ever seen.
Thats nice to know.
What dyou have in mind, Pedro?
l take you to a motel.
How you like it - up, down, front, back?
Whatever suits you, amigo.
Where should l meet you?
- What you say?
- Tell me what hotel. lll meet you there.
Like hell you will.
Dont fool with me, b*tch!
Kiss my ass, c*nt!
l love to stick it to you, thats what l love.
Your fathers a pig,
your mothers a whore.
Who told you?
Thats supposed to be a secret.
l wouldnt piss on the best part of you
if you was on your knees begging for it.
- Dont fool with me, b*tch!
Kiss my ass, c*nt!
l love to stick it to you, thats what l love.
Your fathers a pig,
your mothers a whore.
- Laurie must be really scared.
- lt shook her up pretty badly.
l gave her a police radio,
showed her how to use it.
You didnt tell her this is the guy
were after, did you?
Why have her thinking 24 hours a day
shes in mortal danger?
- She is, you know.
- Yeah, l know.
We gotta do something.
We cant just sit around.
l know, l know.
lm gonna have to think about this.
ln case no one ever told you,
your daughters something very special.
Yeah, l know.
- Good night.
- See you in the morning.
(loud pop music )
(music stops)
Smells like pretty good stuff.
Confiscated material?
You testing to make sure
its the real thing?
- l didnt expect anybody this late.
- l guess not.
Listen, l have a tape here
l want you to give to Milliken.
Have him make a voice print and compare
it with the one we have on Warren Stacey.
- Where do you keep that tape?
- ln the file.
Better make sure its still there.
- l will.
- You will? When?
- You want it now?
- No big rush.
As long as you do it
within the next five minutes.
- No.
- Just see that Milliken gets right on it.
- Yes, sir.
l hope you dont feel
you have to say anything about...
lllegal possession of marijuana.
Yes.
l dont see any evidence.
l cant bring any charges against you.
- Much obliged, sir.
- Me too.
(Stacey) l was 1 2 years old. Stupid thing
to do, but l was angry. ld been punished.
(Kessler) For hurting the neighbours
daughter, cutting her with a knife.
- lt was an accident.
- You like hurting girls?
l wont answer that.
Call me Pedro. That means Peter.
l got the biggest one youve ever seen.
l take you to a motel.
Same voice print.
lts the same man, no doubt about it.
You want me to take him to court on this?
lts a lousy misdemeanour.
Youre gonna get 30 days at most.
Whats that gonna accomplish?
Gives us 30 days to find something
to hold him permanently.
What do you think, McAnn?
l think whatever Lieutenant Kessler
asks for is what he should get.
Then get a warrant and pick him up.
- Whats all that?
- You told me take his clothes to the lab.
Just the clothes
he was wearing on the 7th.
