:54:01
You know the kind of a guy
we're up against, then.
:54:04
l tell you, Chuck,
this guy's a genius, the way he operates...
:54:07
as if he's there with us
every time we go out after our lead.
:54:10
Sure, Breen's been tipping him off
just to make you look bad.
:54:13
Almost like that,
the way he beats us to the punch every time.
:54:17
There's your angle.
You hit it on the head, but you don't see it.
:54:20
Look, start adding.
One: He is unknown to the underworld.
:54:24
Two: He beats you to the punch, right?
:54:26
And three: lt's almost as if he were with you.
lsn't that what you said?
:54:30
Tie that up with the other little things...
:54:32
like the fact that he uses a police gun,
and the accuracy of the shooting.
:54:36
Anybody could buy a police gun.
The Army could have taught him to shoot.
:54:39
Yeah, but who taught him
how the police operate?
:54:44
l know what you're driving at, Chuck.
But a cop?
:54:48
Those things happen.
:54:51
lf l were still on the case,
l'd start with our department.
:54:54
Then Santa Monica, Culver City,
Burbank, Pasadena.
:54:57
See you later, junior.
:54:59
Don't let him out of sight, beautiful. lt's
the first time in years he's used his head.
:55:11
But you've got a print of every mug we take.
We always send LA a copy.
:55:14
-lt's personnel photos l want.
-You mean of our boys?
:55:20
-That's Rowlins' killer, isn't it?
-That's right.
:55:23
-You've checked your own department?
-We did that first.
:55:31
And so the tedious quest went on.
:55:33
Sergeant Brennan wore out his shoes
and his patience...
:55:36
going from police station to police station...
:55:38
checking photos until his eyes were blurry.
:55:41
For police work is not all glamour,
excitement, and glory.
:55:45
There are days and days of routine,
of tedious probing...
:55:49
of tireless searching...
:55:51
fruitless days,
days when nothing goes right...
:55:54
when it seems as if no one
could ever think his way...
:55:57
through the maze of baffling trails
a criminal leaves.
