homicidal maniac is getting information

from inside the department.

His accomplice is a female employee.

A policewoman.

I'll be at the Crime Records

Division, waiting.

Call me when you get in.

Ofcourse he couldn't have

been talking about you.

A policewoman,

The killer's accomplice...

He's talking

about Sally Noland.

That's really great.

You accuse a dead woman,

When the fact is, the log states

that you came to see

Jack Forrest last night on

alleged police business.

And that you aided in his

escape from that cell block.

-You helped him kill all those people.

-That's a lie.

Why are you doing this? You know

I'm telling the truth about Cordell.

Enough for the sh*t,

I've got a parade to attend.

Thats alright.

You better go sir,

you know everyone else is

left for the review extend.

No Wait, You may be in danger

if you go down there.

Don't you understand? Cordell wants

to kill you and the Mayor.

That's what Forrest

told you to say?

If you have any sense at all,

you won't go down there.

Book her! Asses for the first

degree murder.

Nice to hear Commissioner

avoiding reporters.

-Sit down there.

-What?

Right here.

I understand that you were

going to book me.

Well, what's the rush? I mean, We got

the commissioner's office all to ourselves.

We got a place in Newberg, you know

me and your lady...

Not before you.

Commissioner, the tie!

Never mind the tie, come on.

-Oh, we've to wait?.

-Hardly...

Won't you put a a real feather in my

cap and lay it all out for me.

The reason behind those killings...

...was extortion money,

wasn't it?

Money had nothing to

do with those killings.

It was an act of

vengeance against the city.

You know the truth is darling,

I could really use a collar like this one.

Come on, win me

the big promotion.

Make me a hero.

If you gonna put

me under arrest,

I wanna

see my lawyer.

You know, you got a

real rotten ass attitude.

Fine let's go.

I'll take you downstairs.

Dont give me

any trouble, huh?

This is great,

I don't believe this.

Everybody else has gone to

parade and I'm stuck here with you.

This is fantastic.

You with your great attitude, ruin makes

things nice. You know...

Is that Forrest?

Let's get him!

Hold right there!

No.

Listen to me,

He's up there!

He is in Pike's office.

Don't you go giving any orders! I ought

to put a bullet right between your eyes.

...and I'll be a hero!

I'm the wrong guy!

He's out there...

Tell "His Honor" that this

"Maniac Cop" has been recaptured.

Hurry up! You're wasting time.

The killer's in that paddy wagon!

Come on, let's go!

Do you know how to

handle a shotgun?

You just get close

enough and watch me.

Vehicle last seen heading

towards the river.

The river? I think I know

where he's going.

Yeah sure.

Now listen to me.

Do you know where Pier 14 is?

Those piers are all closed.

They're collapsing.

McCrae once tracked him to Pier 14.

Hurry up!

Hold on a sec!

I'll call for backup.

This car 4604 requesting

a backup in pier 14. Right away!

Let him go, Cordell!

Theresa, get these

cuffs off.

Hold it there!

Easy on the

bottles, Jerry.
