The Glimmer Man Page #2

Synopsis: Jack Cole is a soft spoken, mystical, new age New York cop with a checkered past. He is transferred to Los Angeles to help Los Angeles cop Jim Campbell solve a series of brutal murders in which the victims are crucified. The murders that have happened since Jack arrived in Los Angeles just don't sit right with him. When the killer, known as the "Family Man", kills Ellen DunLeavy, who happens to be Jack's ex wife and the mother of his two kids, and Ellen's husband Andrew DunLeavy, it becomes personal - especially when Jack's prints are found on Ellen's body. Jack meets with his military mentor Smith, not knowing that Smith is in cahoots with local crime boss Frank Deverell.

as to what actually happened.

Look, Detective...

...Johnny's been going

through a very difficult time.

He needs treatment, not prison.

Now, Mr. Deverell, as you may know...

...he's a very important man,

and a man with a lot of influence...

...a man who could help or hurt a career.

Just what is it that you do for this man?

I'm in charge of Mr. Deverell's security.

Could have fooled me.

I thought you were an attorney.

I want you to deliver a message for me.

You tell your a**hole boss that nobody,

nobody threatens me.

I understand. I'll convey your feelings

to Mr. Deverell.

Now get your ugly, white ass out of here.

And don't come back.

The motel victim had some problems...

...I thought you might want to know about.

Besides bein' shot in the head

and crucified?

What are you gonna tell me,

she had a bad-hair day?

She would have been dead

in a couple of months.

From what?

I found advanced osteosarcoma

and interstitial fibrosis.

If you don't say it in English, I'll beat you

to death with a dictionary.

It's a rare form of bone cancer, and this

cancer had spread throughout her body.

- What'd cause that?

- What am I? The Amazing Randy?

We have tests to run, it will take time.

What'd you come up with on prints?

Nothing. I don't think she's local.

Neither do I.

I don't even think she's American.

I think she's Russian.

Wait, I thought he was the Amazing Randy.

Hair... cheekbones...

...genetic bone structure.

I think she's Russian, most likely Georgian.

You can tell all that just by lookin' at her?

Right. She's an Aquarius

and likes country music.

Was... an Aquarian.

You see, the spirit has left the body.

What we have here

is a mere broken vessel.

"A broken vessel?"

Anything else interesting about the body

that you'd like to comment on or-

She's got nice tits.

Precisely, Grasshopper,

but a little bit too nice.

Okay, partner, run this number.

Detective Cole's not gonna cooperate.

That's the problem with new cops.

They need to be taught

who to pay attention to.

I'd be happy to teach him that lesson.

Put some of our Russian friends on it.

Let them earn their money for a change.

Everything else in shape?

Like clockwork.

Everyone's still in the dark?

It's a very tight seal, as long

as everyone keeps their mouth shut.

They will.

I think we've set a very good example.

So, why LA? New York didn't have

enough psychopaths for you?

I didn't get along with my captain.

Figured it was time for a change.

The ex moved out here with the kids.

Yeah. Y'all just go on...

No, thank you, I don't know you that well.

No, that's tea. That's good stuff.

It's deer antler. It's good

for your masculinity.
