Can I ask why?
No.
Now, your only problem is,
the man who you approached to get the job done
is now working with Ray.
You understand there's a difference
And here I thought you were the proactive,
captain of industry type.
My mistake. I won't waste your time.
Okay. Okay.
So let's say...
hypothetically, that
I was remotely interested in this thing you're...
Then let's say, hypothetically,
you meet me here on
Friday with $100,000 cash.
And should I bring something else?
Your appetite.
Come in.
So it's not a problem?
- For you, sweetie, nothing's a problem.
- Good.
- How are things with you and Ted?
- I don't know.
Maybe I should have tried it harder.
There's no rule that says you can't
make up with your husband.
If you still love him.
Wow.
Did Ray Elliott actually just use
the 'L' word without smirking?
I'm just saying...
Oh my god.
Ray's got a girlfriend.
To be honest with you, Dorothy,
- I'm not sure what I've got.
- Oh sure you do.
- Ray.
- How's it going?
Pretty much as expected.
Let's get rolling.
Alright ladies, it's on.
Yes, Mr Sykes.
That's right.
Ray would consider it a personal favor.
- Wendell Hatch?
- Yes
I'm Detective Sykes, this is Detective Holbrook.
We'd like you to come down to the station
and answer a few questions.
How well do you know Ray Elliott?
He's involved in a missing person's case
we're working.
- He is?
- What did he just say?
Young lady named Heather Price.
We believe Mr. Elliott took her to
a bed and breakfast last weekend.
She hasn't been heard from since.
Mr, Elliott took her to a bed and breakfast?
What do I always tell you about mumbling?
No one can hear you.
Seems like He's been spinning some tail
to the Santa Barbara police department
about how his credit card was stolen...
but we're pretty sure he killed her.
Thank you.
Why would you think that I would?
One of our officers saw you
talking to Mr. Elliott
And he says there was
an altercation at the bar.
I don't, I don't really know him.
He, I think he works with my dad sometimes
and I, I was in this bar and he was
he was drunk, really drunk,
- Words?
- Yeah words.
You know those things
you used to form sentences.
Only this time in a hostile context.
Yeah there were words,
but there were just...
Hey you jerk...
You know so it wasn't anything
but he did hit me out of nowhere,
just swung at me.
any missing...dead girl.
That's what your question was.
Okay. Okay.
Thanks for clearing that up, Mr. Hatch.
I hope you find this guy
cause that's terrible.
Hey you know what?
We always get the bad guy.
As a matter of fact, the owner of
the bed and breakfast coming in
and take a look at some pictures.
Have you been to this place?
No I, I haven't been.
Hey! Hey!
It's just routine, Mr. Hatch.
We want to mix in some photos with Mr. Elliott's,
You know, give the guy
I mean, don't you have to ask my permission
before you do that?
- You don't mind, do you?
- He's not going to pick you out, so
- what's the harm?
- No it's just...f***.
Detectives!
Will you excuse us for a minute?
Ellroy Hotel.
Sorry about that.
- So what were you saying?
- Nothing. I...just remembered. I have a thing...
- Thanks for coming in by the way.
- Sure.
Something like that?
I think you've earned yourself
a store credit
It's Shady Grove
-Speaking.
Mr Klump. Congratulations.
Today is your Lucky day.
You've just one a night of total luxury
in beautiful Los Angeles.
All for being a loyal subscriber to B and B magazine,
yes, we'd remove
all the outstanding items
from your bill plus
we'll give you a small credit.
You got it.
- Yes I'd like one dozen.
- Okay, no problem.
Right, so deliever the envelope
to the front desk of Ellroy Hotel?
That's right.
Adelle, these flowers are a pale
comparison to you, love Bob.
Who's Bob?
Bob's the man who make the mistake of sending
my wife flowers.
Don't let her out of your sight.
Where you going?
Dressing room.
Unless you boys want me
Was wondering when you'd show up.
- Oh, Ray. I could just eat you up.
- Hold that thought.
You like your gift certificate?
That was from you?
- You know I think I am.
Now can you come to the Ellroy Hotel
at six-fifteen PM?
I've got us a room.
I'll have no miss choir practice.
I can write you a note?
Okay, maybe I'm no Casanova.
And maybe I'm in way over my head.
But this was always Jack's job
I was the pencil pusher. The statistical expert.
Unfortunately, being able to tell you
that seven and ten murders of crimes of passion or
three and four hitmen are hired by one spouse
to kill the other isn't
terrily relevant information.
Unless of course you are the one
they are hired to kill.
Jack was right,
I should never have gone straight.
I need a piece.
A piece of what?
You know a gun.
Oh why do you say that Snoop Dog?
Let me show you what we've got.
Ever get the feeling you're
running out of leads?
- This is Walsh.
- I'm a happily married mother of two
and this guy stand my f***ing left breast...
Think we might have something.
This guy I have watching
Hannibal picked up something
going down this afternoon
at the Ellroy Hotel.
How good is your guy?
Good enough to supply a room number.
Worth a look, right?
Great. Let's go.
- Ray.
- Your boy's here.
Any sign of Wendell?
Are you sure this is gonna work out?
Low ranks circus?
Where did you get that clown from?
- I'm off to church.
- Sh*t.
Ma'am, could you hang on
for a minuite?
You clear it with the boss?
I go every Thursday,
but you can check with
the choir master if you want to.
We got that thing, anyway. Remember?
Don't be late.
To new partners.
To the late, great Ray Elliott.
That is why, if we stay cool,
things are going to be just...
What tells you to
tell me stay cool. I am cool alright?
Little piece of sh*t just arrived.
God Damn it. He's bailing.
I told you he's gonna bail.
Tell me what's happening.
He just left. Look we did it your way
I'm gonna try my way. How about that?
We have to stay to the plan.
Otherwise, people are going to get seriously hurt.
And Wendell will walk.
- Just get him in inside.
- Yeah whatever.
I must get him killed.
Hey Holmes!
- Park my car right there.
- Thanks.
Alright he's inside.
So I brought what you told me to bring.
I like a man who takes direction.
Why don't we go up to your room and talk?
My grandfather's staying here.
And what's your grandfather's name?
Oh, Klump.
Yes, sir. He just checked in.
I will just...
Thank you.
Sir?
It's room 1015.
Mr Klump? What are you doing here?
I won a contest.
Welcome to the Ellroy Hotel.
May I help you?
