Jack's Back Page #2

---

You know, you're a regular

Albert Schweitzer, son.

Can I go back to work now?

Get out of here.

If you're late again,

I will fire your ass.

Sid, the hubcaps on your Fleetwood?

They're gone.

Are you fired?

He just wanted to thank me

for doing such a fine job.

He's worried about you, though,

and you, too.

Aren't you going

to check yourself out?

Jesus.

And I think that the answer

isn't just to build

more temporary shelters.

Well, what message do you hope

this effort conveys?

That these people aren't here

just to exercise our generosity.

They're here because

they have no home.

I mean we're in the wealthiest

country in the world

and people are

living in the streets

and that's a shame.

You know, you got

a family of six

living in a station

wagon, right over there.

You know, look around you.

This is their

reality, every day.

From downtown Los Angeles,

this is Andrea Banks,

Channel 10 news.

Here he comes.

OK, get ready,

here he comes, here he comes.

Captain Prentis!

Captain Prentis,

what's your strategy

for tonight?

Where do you think

he'll hit tonight?

What's being done

about this whole thing?

Captain Prentis, do

you have any new leads?

Where do you think

he'll hit tonight?

Gentlemen, I made my statement

at the press conference

this morning.

I have no further comment.

Captain Prentis,

where do you think

he'll hit tonight?

Comment, please!

Yeah, give us a break!

All right, I think

you ought to grab a seat,

we're ready to get started.

You wanna settle in back there?

I know a lot of you

are working your days off

or pulling a double shift

and I wanna thank

you at the top.

We need to catch

this son of a b*tch.

Tonight may be our last chance.

Now the CHP's and the Sheriffs

are gonna have details

out there tonight

along with the Feds.

Now I expect you to show

them every courtesy,

but I also expect

you to be the ones

to bring this maggot in.

Sergeant Gabriel's gonna

brief you on this detail.

Gabe?

Thank you, Captain.

Well, we don't have much.

As you know, there

have been no survivors

and no eye witnesses.

We do know that the murders

are the work of one man,

we know that he's left-handed,

he always wears gloves,

he smokes,

and he's very strong.

The murder weapon is a knife,

six to eight inches

long, very sharp,

possibly a scalpel or

a post mortem knife.

We know that our boy

practices safe sex.

He uses pre-lubricated Trojans.

We have a few ideas,

but I'm gonna leave the

psychological profile

to the doctor.

You all have your assignments,

so at this time, I'd

like to introduce.

Dr. Carlos Battera, our

consulting psychiatrist

on loan from the APA.

Dr. Battera.
