02:00How many does this make?
02:02Six more prostitutes.
02:06But not one was very calm.
02:08She saw nothing.
02:37And how many more, Martin, before your superiors do something?
02:46I'll tell them again.
02:56Why should you propose to Martial Care?
03:02They still didn't be girls.
03:05Because I want them more than you do.
03:06No one wants him as bad as I do.
03:11No one.
03:12Her name's Angel Valesquez.
03:39She's a prostitute.
03:41She's a prostitute.
03:41She's a prostitute.
03:41She's a prostitute.
03:43Regular on the main drag.
03:47Witnesses?
03:48Gina's door in the neighborhood.
03:50Get everyone in now.
03:56preliminary autopsy report will be on your desk by 9 a.m., Lieutenant.
04:10Wounds are pre- and post-mortem.
04:16Thoracic cartilage is broken.
04:19Murder weapons and military is UK bar.
04:24There will be no sexual assault.
04:26There will be no fingerprints.
04:28I want this room sealed.
04:30The UK bar.
04:49The UK bar.
04:52The UK bar.
05:55I can't believe this.
06:01Get many phone calls, precisely at that moment.
06:06Homicide wasn't the only crime that was committed tonight.
06:10And, uh, do you always answer them right then?
06:16I have a, what you call it, a Pavlovian response.
06:22Yeah, that's...
06:24Well, I'd, um, I'd prescribe, um, convulsive muscular therapy.
06:30Thanks, Doc.
06:32That sounds like something I could get my...
06:35My...
06:36That's something I think I could take a bite out of.
06:43Oh, damn it.
06:51I gotta go.
06:58Don't tease Elvis.
07:00It's just exactly what the Vietnam vet needs.
07:09A little more good press.
07:14You sure it wasn't a civilian?
07:15There were thousands of them in country.
07:17Everyone in country's a suspect.
07:22What about the FBI?
07:23They come up with anything?
07:25Not on the last three years.
07:28Tell them to go back 12.
07:29Lieutenant, this guy's a wacko.
07:35The victim's not even Vietnamese.
07:37She has dark, long black hair.
07:41So you're absolutely convinced
07:43that this is the same guy you were after in Vietnam?
07:48Yes.
07:51Coroner says your hunch about the weapon was right.
07:54Killer used a K-bar.
07:57What the hell's a K-bar?
07:59It's a military knife.
08:04Standard issue in World War II,
08:08Korea, and Vietnam.
08:15Captain Connolly,
08:16you're the man who's in charge on the side of you.
08:19You're gonna be here at all times.
08:21That's right.
08:21And how they all know,
08:22my security firm will be augmenting
08:25Senior Espinosa's security force.
08:27Senior Espinosa will remain at the mansion
08:32until he speaks here at the rally Friday morning.
08:34I would like to emphasize Senior Espinosa's appreciation
08:38to the entire Miami Police Department.
08:41However, your people will only be required at the speech here
08:45and, of course, the escort back to the airport.
08:48Gentlemen, has there been a death threat?
08:50No, but a half a dozen political groups in Miami
08:53consider Espinosa a communist.
08:56Now, since he's not, we prefer to keep him alive.
09:04I want to check the sight of him.
09:06Yeah.
09:08Captain, can I speak to you?
09:10Sure.
09:10Captain, I would like to take my unit off of this assignment
09:18and, uh, you don't seem to be needing any undercovers.
09:22I'd like to put them on the, uh, hooker killings.
09:27Does it look like you're gonna close them out?
09:30Well, let's hope so.
09:32If not, there's gonna be more.
09:33Okay.
09:49One pill makes you larger
09:52And one pill makes you small
09:58The answer is no.
10:00I wouldn't give you the names of my outpatients
10:03if the request came from the President of the United States personally.
10:08We got innocent people out on the street dying.
10:12I am a psychiatrist.
10:14I have innocent people suffering in here.
10:18Dr. Morris,
10:20you know how you feel.
10:23I did a couple of tours in-country myself, but...
10:26My sympathies?
10:27But a lot of my patients are still there.
10:31And I'm not gonna make it any harder on them.
10:38Look,
10:39it's a question of medical ethics.
10:43No.
10:45I'll buzz you out.
10:46We'll get a court order.
10:49You can try.
10:50Yeah, Marty.
10:56Dr. Morris ain't gonna budge.
10:57We're gonna need a court order.
10:59You'll have it in an hour.
11:03I wish there was another way to do this.
11:05These guys are in a world of hurt.
11:08We gotta do it, right?
11:10Yes.
11:12We have to do whatever we can.
11:14Or more will die.
11:15You know how much I hate this?
11:27No choice, man.
11:28So, are you the cabbie that phoned in the tip?
11:47The man's still in there.
11:49Hey, is there a reward of something?
11:51Yeah, you get the concerned citizen's mental.
11:54Mind that guy's tense.
11:56I felt it.
11:59Like I told them.
12:01Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
12:02Freeze!
12:20Put your hands on your head.
12:23Put them up.
12:24Move up against that wall.
12:32Move, move, move, move, move, move, move!
12:38You're the police?
12:41What the hell are you doing here?
12:44I will speak with your superior.
12:48You will speak with me and fast.
12:52His license says his name is Nguyen Van Trang
12:56from Galveston, Texas.
13:01Formerly Inspector Trang of 2nd District Police.
13:13Lieutenant?
13:14Crocker and Tubbs got some foreigner
13:16down in Metro interrogation.
13:18He broke into last night's crime scene.
13:20Says he's a former Saigon cop.
13:29Nguyen Van Trang?
13:32Yeah.
13:33Why don't you do us a favor?
13:47Do us all a favor.
13:49Give us some answers.
13:52Answers.
13:52Alloy.
13:53When I see you superior.
13:57When I see you superior.
14:04You mind telling me why?
14:08So I don't have to tell my story twice.
14:13Hello, Trin.
14:24Hello, man.
14:24Hello, man.
14:40Inspector Trin is a friend.
14:43He was the investigating officer
14:45at the Vietnam murderers.
14:49Yes, ma'am.
14:53There are all statutes of limitation on murder.
14:58It was on the radio this morning.
15:00Had I known you were involved.
15:02Had I known you were involved.
15:07I would have called you immediately.
15:12But instead, you went to the crime scene.
15:15I had to, to be sure.
15:19And were you?
15:20Well, let's have a fairytale.
15:28Iual Go.
15:31As I said the other day,
15:51when I was in South Vietnam in 1972,
15:55there were six murders in nine days.
15:57They stopped.
15:59We don't know why.
16:01Mr. Tran has now informed me
16:04that there were six more the following year in Thailand.
16:08Also in nine days.
16:10Court order.
16:13FBI report.
16:14No record of a homicide in this country
16:16comes close to resembling these.
16:19Dude, must have been a world traveler.
16:23Sure as hell didn't take a 13-year sabbatical.
16:29You were right.
16:30But without question,
16:34he has killed so many times since he left Vietnam.
16:39If not in America,
16:42then somewhere else.
16:44I will check with in the poll.
16:47I've already put in the request.
16:50All primary personnel will be on 12-hour shifts.
16:52All days off are canceled.
16:57Croc in the tubs will work the VA.
16:59The rest of us will work the streets.
17:02Don't underestimate this man.
17:04I don't think so much.
17:18I don't know.
17:24I don't know.
17:25I don't know.
17:28Hey, Hanson, how about your key?
17:46You know, it's not polite to talk to people without looking at them.
18:03You should look at people when you talk to them, you know?
18:06Ow!
18:08I'm sorry.
18:11Sorry.
18:13You know, you got a real problem there.
18:16You watch too much TV, it's not good for you.
18:20It's no good for your eyes.
18:32It says all interviews are to be conducted on these premises in my presence.
18:38We want to start with the vets that serve them now from 1971 to 72.
18:44We'll start first thing in the morning.
18:47The court order states we start immediately.
18:53Believe me, Doc, we don't like this any better than you do.
18:56It was long ago.
19:13It seems like yesterday.
19:20I saw you standing in the rain.
19:24And then I heard you say, I want to love, but it comes out wrong.
19:34I want to live, but I don't belong.
19:37I close my eyes and I see the blood of roses.
19:44I want to love.
19:45I want to love, but it comes out.
19:53I want to love, but it comes out.
19:54A springtime
19:57Told her we were friends
20:01In wintertime
20:05The roses died
20:07With a red cold
20:09And she said
20:11I want to love
20:14But it comes out wrong
20:16I want to live
20:18But it don't belong
20:21I close my eyes
20:23In the sea
20:24Blood and roses
20:53Blood and roses
20:59Blood and roses
21:01Blood and roses
21:02Blood and roses
21:11We're on our way to the VA.
21:41We're on our way to the VA when we hurt.
21:45How are things going?
21:49Ah, just great.
21:52Yeah, we're talking 91 outpatients, Lieutenant,
21:55and we haven't even scratched the surface.
21:57Move faster.
22:11All the killings took place in clusters in 11 countries,
22:15and all of them happened in less than two weeks and stopped.
22:18Look.
22:20All the prostitutes were killed in exactly the same way
22:23in Brussels in 1981, six in Nicaragua last year,
22:28six in Paris in 1978,
22:31Laos, six in 82,
22:34Thailand, six in 1980,
22:36and on and on and on.
22:38Merci d'os.
22:41The incredible thing is not one police department
22:48came up with a single lead.
22:51This one's in Bangkok.
22:57They didn't come up with anything.
22:59Maybe they were looking in the wrong place.
23:14At that time, I was in the refugee camp near Bangkok.
23:24The sixth prostitute was murdered on April 3rd.
23:31And the assassination of a suspected communist leader
23:35named Ling Lao on April 4th.
23:40Murders?
23:42I don't get it.
23:45Maybe we are looking
23:48more than a killer of prostitutes.
23:51Maybe...
23:56an assassin.
24:00Trudy.
24:02Yeah?
24:03Check with the State Department.
24:06See if the sixth murder in every country
24:09was followed by an assassination.
24:12Bring me a copy of this right away.
24:15Okay.
24:19Andy.
24:22We're just trying to get the truth.
24:27Okay.
24:29The truth?
24:32Last night I killed a VC bride.
24:35I killed one the night before that.
24:38And I killed one the night before that.
24:40And I've killed one every night since I've been back from Vietnam.
24:43In my nightmares!
24:45The doctor can tell you all about that.
24:48Now, leave me alone.
25:07Do you really want to go on with this?
25:09It's not our call.
25:15Lieutenant.
25:24Interpol backs Mr. Trang's theory in every case except one.
25:28Which one?
25:30Copenhagen in 1984.
25:33Six hookers were murdered in less than 11 days.
25:37But they haven't had an assassination in that country since before World War II.
26:00I may come back with an explanation.
26:16See anything else I can do?
26:18No.
26:19No.
26:21The night after the last prostitute murder, a Czechoslovakian military attache died in his sleep.
26:38He was there.
26:39Amen.
26:40The night after the last prostitute murder, a Czechoslovakian military attache died in his sleep.
26:53He was there, Aman.
26:55Night after the last.
26:57After the lastæš—
27:15Time after the last
27:22But under the circumstances, I think you have to cancel the speech Friday morning.
27:28There's no definite problem that this man is an assassin.
27:31We have verified it, sir.
27:34In every country where the murder of prostitutes has occurred,
27:38it has followed with an assassination.
27:40That is what I've been trying to explain to Sr. Espinosa.
27:45Even if it were true, this is Miami.
27:49I see there was many targets.
27:51But in each case, the victims were communists or suspected communists.
27:58Which am I?
28:05At the very minimum, let me at least change the site of your speech to an indoor facility.
28:12No.
28:14No matter how many cops I have, I can't guarantee you security out there.
28:18I can't guarantee you.
28:22And Castillo, Mr. Tran, your efforts are truly appreciated.
28:27But I will not disappoint my supporters.
28:30I will give my speech on Friday morning.
28:34Now, if you will excuse me, my colleagues are waiting for me upstairs.
28:38On the slightest chance that you may be right about this, you've got to get this guy.
28:52If Espinosa wants to commit suicide, that's his problem.
28:56But my firm will not take a chance.
28:58Now, please keep me informed.
28:59If this killer is out to assassinate Espinosa, we have until Friday morning.
29:22We're going to work the streets.
29:23You'll kill again tonight.
29:31Gina and Trudy will be on the wire.
29:33The rest of you will be working solo.
29:36Keep them under surveillance at all times.
29:38That's an order.
29:39That's it.
29:40Good morning, everybody.
29:47Welcome to the television version of everybody's favorite game.
29:50Our travel strength champion is Kathy Worley.
29:53Here she is.
29:54Come on, Kathy.
29:56How you doing today?
29:57Good morning.
29:57Good morning, everybody.
29:58Great.
29:59Kathy is not here.
30:00She has $26,000.
30:03She's one of the few people.
30:04He's going to be going for $40,000.
30:06And the first call to the television to these people right here.
30:11Chief's of financial safety.
30:15He's a writer.
30:16Originally from New York City.
30:27He's a writer.
31:32Good evening, ladies.
31:34Why don't you do me a favor?
31:36You see that guy over my left shoulder in the long, dark coat?
31:41My left.
31:42My other left.
31:44That's the ticket.
31:46You see him?
31:48Do me a favor.
31:50Walk over there and walk up to him and say,
31:53Vom Dap.
31:54Vom Dap.
31:56It's Vietnamese.
31:57Just go over there and say that to him.
31:59Go on.
32:00Let's see what happens.
32:01Vom Dap.
32:07Vom Dap.
32:08Vom Dap.
32:37Miami Vice, buddy.
32:45Get out, get out, get out, get out, get out.
33:02Get out.
33:06Go on.
33:06Go on.
33:07Yeah.
33:08Go on.
33:12Ooh, ooh, ooh
33:17Ooh, ooh, ooh
33:22Ooh, ooh, ooh
35:04I couldn't have done better if I had a camera.
35:09Every officer was given one at roll call this morning.
35:13TV stations will carry it on every news broadcast.
35:16I'll make sure all of Espinosa's people get copies...
35:18and every cop on duty at the speech tomorrow.
35:25That would not be necessary if Mr. Espinosa would cancel his speech tomorrow.
35:30Believe me, Mr. Trang, that's the last conversation I had with Espinosa last night...
35:40and the first one I had with him this morning.
35:43The man's adamant.
35:44Please keep me posted.
35:49I'll be with Espinosa today in my hotel this evening.
35:52I was in Operation Phoenix.
36:05You know, the CIA pacification program.
36:09I'm not proud of it.
36:12Man.
36:13Believe me.
36:15We know that, Mike.
36:17Just tell us about this guy.
36:20Yeah.
36:21They called him the savage.
36:29His code name, you know.
36:33Heard he had over 40 BC kills.
36:38Most of them behind enemy lines.
36:40They say he was so good
36:45that he killed over half the poor commies in their sleep.
36:53In their sleep.
36:55Believe that.
36:59When was that?
37:02I saw him last in 1970.
37:07But I heard from a buddy
37:09he was a non-alonger number.
37:15You sure you never heard his actual name?
37:21No.
37:25But I heard a really wild story about him.
37:28She was a hooker.
37:32The story goes she was smart.
37:34She got onto him.
37:35Bought him.
37:37He killed her.
37:38Okay.
37:39But
37:40she really hurt him bad.
37:47Heard the crazy guy
37:48recuperated in Japan
37:51and went right back to now.
37:56A lot of guys went back.
37:58Yeah.
38:00But this guy?
38:01she hurt him more than bad.
38:08She emasculated him.
38:10She emasculated him.
38:10a long time.
38:11A long time.
38:22Long time.
38:30Nguyen Van Tran,
38:33Felix Lawson,
38:35ex-CIA.
38:39How's the boat business?
38:43It's nice having a company of your own.
38:45You still have a few friends at the Oldwood.
38:54There's certainly a few more than you, Marty.
38:57There's certainly a few more than you.
39:03That's why I came.
39:06I never figured you'd call in the marker.
39:10I never thought I'd have to.
39:11An assassin.
39:17Operation Phoenix.
39:19Trade name Savage.
39:41To recap tonight's top story, police are searching for this man, believed to be responsible for the murder of three prostitutes in Miami.
39:51Details are sketchy as to the circumstances surrounding the murder.
39:55Police are playing this one close to the vest, except to say a man was seen talking to one prostitute before she died.
40:01All three...
40:08Good evening, Harriet.
40:10Hi.
40:14Is the matter of no television tonight?
40:16Oh, you get tired of it.
40:20Mind if I have my key, please?
40:22Oh, yes, sure.
40:46There's no need for you to wait around here and go back to the house.
40:49I'll call you if anything comes up.
40:53I have waited 13 years.
40:56And now I can wait a bit longer.

47:53Get off my case, Costello.
48:00I ran a check on you.
48:02You know the score.
48:03Espinosa's a dangerous agitator.
48:08What does Espinosa have to do with the murder of three women in Miami?
48:12Ah, come on, Costello.
48:14Who cares about a couple of whores here or in Nam?
48:20No offense, Mr. Trang.
48:23He may be a coot, but he's the best there is.
48:26I want to put you away for conspiracy.
48:33You got no probable cause.
48:36You got to catch the guy before you can prove anything.
48:42Espinosa's not speaking tomorrow.
48:44You don't seem very surprised, Mr. Corlin.

55:21What do you want?
55:22What do you want?
56:05Hello, Marty.
56:07How do you feel?
56:13We tried tracking your friend down, but he's gone.
56:20And INS has no record of him ever even being in the country.
56:29He left this behind for you.
56:35Dear Mark, by now, you know my name is not Trang.
56:45It was the name I assumed in South Vietnam.
56:49My true name is of no importance.
56:55But truth is, I was when we met a lieutenant in North Vietnamese intelligence.
57:03I am now a colonel in the Army of the Republic of Vietnam.
57:10For the past 14 years, I have hunted the man we now know as the savage.
57:19Only when we found him did I realize that this sick man was nothing more than a victim, a weapon of war.
57:31The true savage was coal man and man in your country and mine who created and nurtured such assassins.
57:42You were Trang's friend in South Vietnam and Trang's friend in Miami.
57:53I hope and pray you are my friend now.
57:56I dream of a more perfect world in which we could also be comrades.
58:05Goodbye, my friend.
58:26I dream of a more perfect world in the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of
