and you come back.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir,

thank you.

Where's your office?

Right in there.

- Captain Morales.

- Captain Wells.

- Glad to know you, sir.

- Same here.

Since I'm in charge

of this investigation,

things are gonna have

to be handled my way.

I'll keep you informed as to what

I'm doin', if I have time.

And I'll expect

your full cooperation.

You've got it.

Thank you, sir.

I don't want

any newspaper people

or hangers on

gettin' in my way.

When the people of this community

need to know something,

I'll inform the press.

And I'd appreciate it

if nobody but me

gave out any information

on this case from now on.

Rumors can hurt us.

We got a cold-blooded killer here

A man who nobody sees.

A phantom who, so far,

hasn't made any mistakes.

I've assigned Captain Wells

to work directly with you.

I'll give you the best man

I've got on my force,

Deputy Sheriff Ramsey.

Twelve of my men

and six patrol cars

should arrive here in town

late this afternoon.

If you could help them get

squared away, I'd appreciate it.

Sergeant Mai Griffin is in charge.

I also have a patrol car

and a driver available to you.

Good, I'd like to use it

right away.

I'd also like for Deputy Ramsey

to go with me

to take a look at the site

of the murders.

And I want to go over

the victims' cars.

I'll get you Ramsey right away.

Patrolman Benson

will be your driver.

Thank you, sir.

Let's go.

- Captain, I'll see you later.

- Thank you.

Captain, I wonder if you could tell me

if you plan to use the same tactics

that you used down in Laredo,

to catch our killer here.

Who is this man?

This is Mr. George Hartman.

Mr. Hartman's a prominent citizen

here in Texarkana.

He's, uh, interested in police work.

Fine.

You tell Mr. Hartman

if he's interested in police work

he can pick up a copy of the

Police Gazette down at the corner.

Ready Ramsey?

You bet.

Where's my driver?

I'll get him.

- Sparkplug?

- Yes, sir.

You know the man

in the white suit?

That's Captain Morales.

You'll be his driver.

Try not to wreck him.

No, sir.

Where are the keys? Damn.

Excuse me, Captain,

them damn keys.

I'll be right back.

Benson, what the hell

is going on?

Chief, them damn car keys,

I can't find them nowhere.

Which car do you plan to use?

Unit seven, sir.

Well, what in the hell is that

right there under number seven?

Thanks, Chief,

I was gonna check there next.

Hold it, boy.

Jesus!

I meant slow down,

not stop.

For Chrissakes!

You just got two controls

on this damn thing,

wide open and stop?

Well, I figured

you was in a hurry, sir.

Well, I am in a hurry.

What'd you say your name was?

Patrolman A.C. Benson.
