:38:02
Is that it?
:38:04
The last two murders
have been particularly brutal...
:38:06
which makes me believe
he's close to exploding.
:38:07
That means we've got to
start pushing him, sir.
:38:09
And I can do that with a
dozen experienced homicide dicks, full-time.
:38:12
I want liaisons set up
with every other department in the country.
:38:15
I need permission
to recruit uniformed officers...
:38:17
for the shit work and authority to grant...
:38:19
unlimited overtime,
and most important, sir...
:38:21
we need a full-scale media blitz...
:38:22
I haven't heard any hard, physical evidence.
:38:24
You got any witnesses? Any notations
from detectives within our department...
:38:27
or any department that lend credence
to your mass-murder theory?
:38:30
No one's bothered to go over the files...
:38:32
How many of these 16 investigations
are still open?
:38:35
None. But that's the point.
:38:36
Are there any other officers
within our department...
:38:38
- who corroborate your hypothesis?
- No.
:38:40
Other departments?
:38:43
No.
:38:45
Hopkins, I'm not gonna trust you on this.
:38:49
Even though I must admit you're
a good detective with a good arrest record.
:38:52
- Then what's the problem, sir?
- You know damn well what the problem is.
:38:55
It's too old, too vague, too costly, and too
potentially embarrassing to the department.
:39:00
- That's bullshit!
- Don't talk to me about bullshit, Hopkins.
:39:03
Everyone knows you have a wild hair up
your ass about murdered women.
:39:06
And if you really cared about God...
:39:08
you'd first ask him to help you
with your personal life.
:39:11
Hopkins, forget this thing.
:39:14
Spend some time with your family.
I'm sure they'd appreciate it.
:39:17
- Thank you for the advice, Captain.
- Hopkins.
:39:21
If you go to the media, I'll crucify you.
:39:25
I'll have you back in uniform, rousting
piss bums on Skid Row.
:39:29
Two days. That's what you've got
to give me the help I need.
:39:33
After that, you can get your fucking
field reports on the 6:00 news, sir.
