understand. Good luck, my friend.

BERNTEIN:
I'm Detective Zev Bernstein. Sorry to drag you out of bed so
early. This is Detective McBain.
McBAIN
Mr. Hall? Thanks for coming down.
DOUGLAS:
Where is he?
McBAIN
Can I get you some coffee?
DOUGLAS:
No.
McBAIN
We found him in an alley at Spring and Grand. Looks like he ran
into some guy who wasn't just asking for a quarter. Carved him up
like a ham. Took everything
Wallet, credit cards. Got a real kick out of it. What's your
connection to the old man?
DOUGLAS:
I worked with him for 6 years. He was may boss. My friend.
McBAIN
Hey, cigarette?
DOUGLAS:
I don't smoke.
McBAIN
We found these on him. Traced the prescription. According to his
doctor. Fuller listed you to call in case of medical
emergencies. He had no next of kin?
DOUGLAS:
No he didn't.
McBAIN
Sure?
DOUGLAS:
I think he would've told me.
McBAIN
Have any idea who killed him?
DOUGLAS:
Everybody liked him.
McBAIN
Mind if I tag along? Or we can continue in my office, if that's
more convenient.
DOUGLAS:
That's fine.
McBain, What do you do for a paycheck, anyway?
DOUGLAS:
Computer software. Would you mind taking care of the car this
morning?
McBAIN
Must make some decent bucks, huh?
DOUGLAS:
I make a living.

DOUGLAS:
This was his apartment.
McBAIN
You could be home already.
DOUGLAS:
What?
McBAIN
I see these signs every time I leave work - " You could be home
already. Apartment living in downtown." Never expected it could
look anything like this.
