Blood Work Page #2

Synopsis: Retired FBI profiler Terry McCaleb (Eastwood), who has recently had a heart transplant, is hired by Graciela Rivers (De Jesus), to investigate the death of her sister, Gloria, who happens to have given McCaleb his heart. On the case, he soon deduces that the killer, who staged the murder to look like a random robbery, may actually be a serial killer Terry was trailing for years in the FBI. Can the elderly and feeble McCaleb, who had intended to spend his retirement living on his boat in the Los Angeles harbor, and who can't drive, and has to nap regularly, muster up the endurance to find the killer?

l want to know who you're working for.

Her sister, right?

That's right.

l knew it. Son of a b*tch.

Let me see your ticket.

l don't have a license,

if that's what you mean.

ls it stuffy in here?

ls it hot?

No.

Just get a little air.

Let me give us some air

and make it more comfortable.

Okay, let me get this straight. You're

conducting a homicide investigation...

...into the Gloria Torres case?

That's true.

You don't have a license to practice

as a private investigator in California?

That's right.

Do you know it's a crime to practice

as an investigator without a license?

Will you knock off the crap?

l just wanted to have a talk.

Knock off the tape too.

- He's blocking the microphone anyway.

- Why didn't you say?

ln the three years we've

interrogated here, maybe l forgot.

Come on, fellas. l'm just

here to help. Have a doughnut.

How do you know Graciella Rivers?

She's an acquaintance.

l told her l'd look into it. That's all.

lf you guys aren't gonna have one,

l'm gonna have one.

Look.

l don't care what her sister told you,

Mr. Former FBl Profiler.

This ain't the type of case you like.

This ain't a glamorous case

that will get headlines.

This isn't Charles Manson

or Ted f***ing Bundy.

This is an ordinary

convenience-store robbery.

Some idiot with a gun...

...with the right ratio

of balls to brains pulled the trigger.

l told her l'd check it out.

You've been on this a while,

and a fresh pair of eyes won't hurt.

l won't grandstand anybody.

l'll give any information to you first.

l'm not trying to one-up anyone.

What do you want?

A copy of the murder book

and a video walk-through of the scene.

l was always good with crime scenes.

- No can do.

- Why not?

- No way, man.

- How often does the sister call you?

Every day, weekends, holidays...

Believe it or not, we got feelings.

lt hurts me to tell her there

are no leads or suspects.

l can get her off your case.

l tell her l looked into it, you're

doing a good job, she stops calling.

You were always good at a crime scene.

But the key word is "were."

Are you still?

You just give me a copy

of the tape, that's all.

Oh.

We got more than

just the crime-scene tape.

We've got the crime.

Bring the doughnuts. Come on.

That's Kyungwon Kang, the owner.

He's making his last sale.

She comes in to buy a candy bar.

Yeah, for her kid.

And here he is. Ba-da-bing! Pow, pow.

He picked up all the shells.

Hm.

Won't see this on

America's Favorite Videos.

- There's no sound on that camera?

- Right. He's just talking to himself.

- Could you run it in slow motion?

- Hold on. lt's not over.

This guy coming up we call

the Good Samaritan. Watch.
