:12:01
You had a bad day, didn't you?
:12:03
How can you tell?
:12:05
You always shake, just a little.
:12:07
I'm sorry, Penguin.
:12:09
It's a shit storm out there.
You know that, don't you?

:12:12
Yeah.
:12:13
And you know you gotta
develop claws to fight it.

:12:15
- Sharp ones, Daddy.
- Attagirl.

:12:18
Daddy, you owe me.
:12:19
Do I?
:12:20
- Yes, you do.
- I don't think so.

:12:23
Please. It doesn't have to be a long one,
just good.

:12:26
Just good?
:12:30
You ready?
:12:32
Once upon a time, about a year,
a year and a half ago...

:12:37
Daddy had just cleared the Haverhill-Jenkins
homicide case, you remember?

:12:41
Right after, I got assigned
to a robbery deployment...

:12:44
a loan-out to the West L.A. Squad room
because there had been a series...

:12:46
of nighttime burglaries at doctors' offices
in large buildings in the Westwood area.

:12:50
Cash and saleable drugs
were the burglar's meat.

:12:53
Now, this guy had ripped off about
$5,000 in cash...

:12:57
and a shitload of pharmaceutical speed
and heavyweight downers...

:12:59
in less than a month.
:13:01
The West L.A. Dicks had his M.O.
Figured this way:

:13:03
This bastard used to hide out
in the building all day long until nightfall...

:13:07
he'd hit his mark...
:13:08
and then he'd run into
a second-story office...

:13:10
and jump out the window into the parking
lot, if you can believe that.

:13:13
But there was evidence to point to this.
:13:15
Chipped cement on window ledges.
:13:17
The dicks had figured this guy
for, like, a gymnast.

:13:20
Some bullshit cat-burglar type who could
jump two stories without getting hurt.

:13:24
They were so sure of it...
:13:25
that the commander of the squad was
setting up parking lot surveillances.

:13:29
When this guy hit a doctor's office
right on Wilshire Boulevard...

:13:33
that two, not one, two teams
of detectives were staking out...

:13:36
that threw this commander's thesis
all to hell...

:13:39
and Daddy was called in to save the day.
:13:41
Tell me how you got the scumbag, Daddy.
:13:44
Sweetheart, nobody jumps two stories
repeatedly without getting hurt.

:13:47
So, I formed my own thesis.
:13:48
This guy was just brazenly
walking out of the building.

:13:51
Okay, that's enough. No more stories.
:13:53
Kiss your daddy good night
and get to sleep.

:13:57
Your mommy's right. It's late.
I'll finish it tomorrow.
