OK. Good luck, Joe.
503
00:37:06,490 --> 00:37:10,756
Let's check out all the Ys,
the body-beautiful places,
504
00:37:10,895 --> 00:37:13,659
- weightlifting joints, and the gyms.
- What for?
505
00:37:15,900 --> 00:37:18,926
They make their bodies shiny
by using this stuff, you know.
506
00:37:19,070 --> 00:37:21,231
I think Teddy used to
like to look at these things.
507
00:37:21,372 --> 00:37:23,340
Maybe he went where they hang out.
508
00:37:23,474 --> 00:37:25,669
Maybe that's where
he met his roommate.

510
00:37:38,089 --> 00:37:42,526
- He's not gonna drop that, is he?
- We never drop anything.
511
00:37:44,262 --> 00:37:46,924
Listen, did Theodore Leikman Jr.
ever come in here?
512
00:37:47,064 --> 00:37:49,794
Yes, he did. That little crumb!
513
00:37:49,934 --> 00:37:52,334
Hallelujah.
514
00:37:52,470 --> 00:37:54,904
Did you ever see anybody
with him who looks like this?
515
00:37:55,039 --> 00:37:58,167
Oh, yes. The strange one.
516
00:37:58,309 --> 00:38:02,712
- Well, what's his name?
- Tesla. Felix Tesla.
517
00:38:02,847 --> 00:38:05,941
- Tesla. Felix Tesla.
- Maybe he's from out of town.
518
00:38:06,083 --> 00:38:08,950
And maybe he's in Mexico by now.
519
00:38:18,195 --> 00:38:20,060
Sand.
520
00:38:21,699 --> 00:38:24,031
Know what I think?
I think we hit the beaches
521
00:38:24,168 --> 00:38:25,999
and check every hotel
where they might stay.
522
00:38:26,137 --> 00:38:28,799
<i>(man over radio) Central to</i>
<i>Sergeant Leland in 19th squad auto K.</i>

00:38:28,939 --> 00:38:30,429
<i>Sergeant Leland to Central.</i>

00:38:30,574 --> 00:38:32,269

<i>Over and out.</i>
528
00:38:53,264 --> 00:38:55,494
Listen, maybe you better
talk to 'em this time.
529
00:38:55,633 --> 00:38:58,625
Maybe you'll appeal to 'em
more than I do.
530
00:39:13,150 --> 00:39:15,277
- Excuse me, sir.
- Yes?
531
00:39:15,453 --> 00:39:16,545
Police officers.
532
00:39:18,022 --> 00:39:22,118
Did you ever have a roomer
by the name of Felix Tesla?
533
00:39:22,293 --> 00:39:26,354
- What about him?
- Well, have you seen him recently?
534
00:39:26,497 --> 00:39:27,623
Have you?
535
00:39:27,765 --> 00:39:29,892
This morning,
before he went out for breakfast.
536
00:39:32,169 --> 00:39:35,138
- Did he come back?
- He's up in his room.
537
00:39:36,741 --> 00:39:39,642
- Go around back, Robbie.
- OK.
538
00:39:39,777 --> 00:39:41,870
Now quietly...
Who else is in the house?
539
00:39:42,012 --> 00:39:46,540
- No one else. Just me.
- Where is his room?
540
00:39:47,718 --> 00:39:50,653
Number three.
It's up the stairs.
541
00:39:58,629 --> 00:40:00,893
Don't be foolish.
Stay out of it.
542
00:40:01,031 --> 00:40:05,627
<i>(Robbie)</i> Sarge, Sarge,
he's heading for the beach!
543

All right. Cool it.

546
00:40:50,247 --> 00:40:52,112
<i>(man #3)</i> Did you cut up Teddy's body?
<i>- (man #4)</i> Look this way.
547
00:40:52,249 --> 00:40:54,479
All right, all right,
cool it, cool it, move back.
548
00:40:54,618 --> 00:40:57,109

549
00:40:57,288 --> 00:40:59,313

Get the hell out of here.
Get out of the way.

00:41:01,959 --> 00:41:05,190
Come on, Joe, give us a break.

Come on.
553
00:41:14,705 --> 00:41:17,196
- Did you inform him of his rights?
- I did.
554
00:41:17,341 --> 00:41:19,332
Boys, take him inside
and start talking to him.
555
00:41:19,477 --> 00:41:21,411
- You. You go with him.
- Yes, sir.
556
00:41:21,545 --> 00:41:24,173
I got something to show you.
557
00:41:24,315 --> 00:41:25,577
Kelly.
558
00:41:25,716 --> 00:41:29,447
Give me that yellow sheet
on the suspect, huh?
559
00:41:29,620 --> 00:41:31,645
Hm. Get a load of this.
