for a fight, Bud?

Come on and get

some of this.

It's ok, Bob!

Yee-haw!

Ha ha ha!

Goddamn!

Nothin' like a little excitement

to get the old blood a-pumpin'!

Hey,

what you looking for?

Looking for them.

Someone following us?

Not yet.

Yeah, that's because it takes time

to change a flat tire.

Did you slash

their tires?

Yeah...

Hell, no.

I'd have been

there all night.

How you feelin'?

Must've got worked over

pretty good.

I'll live.

Thanks.

Yeah, feeling's mutual,

partner.

Hey...

I heard you were

in early.

Forensics did find a hair

in that second bed.

They're pushing it

through.

And we isolated 20 unknowns

in the videotapes.

I ran into Billy Coogan

last night.

He said we're leading McGinnis

Did you end up calling in

the Fed boys on those motel killings?

No. Why?

'Cause it looks like

we've got company.

You ever see anything

like that before?

Yes.

I'll see ya, Buck.

Good luck out there today.

Have a good day, Jim.

Make sure

you stop by the polls.

Sheriff Olmstead.

Sally.

It's coming,

sheriff.

Care for some breakfast,

Mr. Lacrosse?

Oh, no, thank you.

So...

what can we do

for the FBI today?

You have 2 bodies

in the morgue.

I need the car that was

taken from the motel.

Take a number.

Time is critical,

sheriff.

Time is always critical,

Mr. Lacrosse.

What makes you so sure that we're

talkin' about the same killer here?

Excuse me.

Severed femoral artery,

single incisions,

inch,

inch and a half deep.

You've seen the bodies.

No prints, no weapon,

no witnesses.

I know this killer,

sheriff,

and when he kills,

he moves fast,

and the only chance

you have of catching him

is to find out

what he's driving

or to be

incredibly lucky.

Do you mind if I call you

by your first name, Frank?

Now, you say

you know this killer.

You got

a physical description?

Height? Weight?

Hair color?

Male between the ages

of 20 to 50,

medium to large build,

from a western state.

Probably spent a lot

of time in the east.

Well, that really narrows the field

down, doesn't it, Frank?

He's a serial killer,

sheriff.

Well, the serial killers

we've dealt with

didn't seem to want to have

their victims found.

This one does.

Sally, bring me a cup

to go, please.

Right up, Buck.

Well, who knows, Frank?

Maybe we'll both

get lucky today.

Hey, Oscar.

Hey, Buck.

Well, the city police

spotted the car about 4 a.m.

The officers tailed it here,

and then instead of waiting for backup,

one of the cops

followed him inside...

Course, that's when the suspect

started shooting.

Just beautiful.

Yeah, well, he's holed up

in back someplace.

Of course, McGinnis has got

his whole swat team here now,
