Boston Strangler

...comes back now, the other way.

Strong defense by both teams so far in this game. Duncan to Derby.

Derby takes a quick shot from outside.

And the Bulldogs have two men pressed defensively. And he hits again.

Michigan back on top, by a score of 4-3.

Robinson quickly brings the ball up court. It's a shot.

Miss. But the rebound is scooped up by the Bulldogs.

I'd rather not see you.

His jump shot is good.

- Puts the Bulldogs back up... -

...5-4

Well, Matthews was tightly manned on Johnson.

But Michigan has managed to work through that

in the early stages of this game.

- No! No! No! -

- -

- No! -

Back off!

Claire, are you okay? Open up!

Claire, if you don't answer the door, I'm calling the cops.

We have a possible intruder at Oak Tower apartments.

Sixty-one, got it.

State police!

[Nowhere to Run (Nowhere to Hide) playing on TV]

State police! Open up!

State police!

...city increases.

Boston truck driver strike is still in progress.

Our direct reports of the morning take us to Washington, to Paris...

I'm trying to eat as fast as I can.

Eat your cereal. Hurry up.

Toast?

Yeah. That one.

- Morning, everybody. - Morning.

- Where's Tommy? - Morning.

Shoot. Tommy!

- Right here. - Come on. We gotta leave in two minutes.

Do you want toast?

Sure.

- Record American . -

When I do the follow up, I-I'll give you a call back.

Record American .

Can't let one slide, can ya?

Not until they get me off the lifestyle desk.

- Jack, you got a second? - Not now.

Chelsea cops got caught running numbers again.

The Globe and the Herald ran it today. We got nothing.

Come on. Don't you have an assignment?

Okay, what about the new suspect in the mail truck robbery?

Every other paper covered it.

You see that? That's the crime desk. I got six guys working that beat.

Okay, Susan,

- you're on must-have housewares. - Thank you.

Mary, you got the fashion and style feature for the Sunday edition.

- Twenty-inch feature with photos. - Mmm.

Ellie, you're on candidates' wives. Basic life-on-the-trail stuff.

- What they're eating, wearing. - Who's yelling at who.

Loretta, you get this week's product review.

Sunbeam has a new toaster.

Okay, and Nancy, you're on diet tips, girl.

Tax reforms, dislodging and equity demand.

And he would made that cut in taxes

to take effect as of the start of next year, January 1963.

The billions of dollars that are still placed in the hands of...

- Hi, Phyllis. - Mornin'.

Who's that?

Uh, that is Holland's girl, Jean Cole.

What, is she a reporter or a nurse?

She's working undercover. Got some story on nursing homes.

Here. Use mine. I'll fix this one.

Thanks.

What are you working on?

Story on patient abuse.

That sounds important. How'd you get it?

I asked for it.

And they just gave it to you?

That's usually how it works.

Not around here, it isn't.

Sorry.

And there is the beautiful Monroe centerpiece...

What the hell is she gonna do with those?

- Ma, what did the doctor say? - I didn't go.

- What do you mean you didn't go? - Katie didn't show up.

What happened? You didn't call her?

I'm not gonna go around hounding people. She's not even family.

She's married to your son.

If it was so damn important, you should've taken me yourself.

Yeah, yeah, I'm aware.

I'll see you in a couple days.

- Don't get up. I'll let myself out. -

- Gotta put the chain on. - Since when?

Since the neighbor got killed.

- You didn't hear? - No.

Mrs. Slesers, right around the corner.

It was in your paper.

Jack? I think I found something.

Three women were strangled over the last two weeks.

I don't see the interest. These are nobodies.

Who do you think our readers are?

And that's just it. Why would anybody go around killing three nobody women?

And how do you plan to find that out?

Well, let me profile the victims. See if there's any connection.

Kid, you're not covering a homicide.

Why not?

Because you don't have the experience covering homicides.

How am I supposed to get any experience if you won't give me a shot?

No.

Oh, come on. It's slow.

I'll do it on my own time.

All right. But you're still on the lifestyle desk.

Uh, Loretta McLaughlin, with the Record American .

You're the super? You found Ida Irga?

Yeah, that's right.

Uh...

Did it look like someone broke in?

No. No, the door was locked. I had to use a master key.

Anything else unusual when you went in?

No. Those details don't belong in your paper.

No, no, I-- I'm not gonna print anything disrespectful.

I'm-- I'm just trying to get a sense.

You really wanna know?

I found her on the floor with her legs spread open,

ankles strapped to a chair.

There was a broom handle stuck between her legs.

- You mean-- - Yeah.

He tied her stockings in a bow around her neck.

A bow?

Like on a gift.

- -

Uh, you know who's working the Anna Slesers homicide?

I'm with the Record American .

They're out. Why I never seen ya before?

I was working a different desk. You know when they'll be back?

No clue. They're up to their eyeballs.

Yeah, I bet. Any suspects?

Talk to Corsetti. He already covered it.

I'm doing a different story about how the murders are connected.

You mean the bows?

All three had bows around their necks?

I didn't say that.

No, I already confirmed Ida Irga. Are you confirming Blake and Slesers?

I'm not confirmin' nothin'. Why don't you take a hike?

Only one I can confirm is Ida Irga.

What about the autopsy reports?

DA won't release them.

Wasn't one of them in Lynn?

Helen Blake.

Well, that's Essex County. Different county, different DA.

Corsetti, you know the medical examiner in Lynn?

Yeah, I play cards with him.

See if you can get the Helen Blake autopsy.

Thanks.

Okay.

What's the one right next to...

Excuse me, I'm looking for Officer Dougan.

Dougan? No, he's not here.

You know where he drinks?

You know where Foley's is?

Officer Dougan?

Yeah.

Uh, Loretta McLaughlin with the Record American .

Uh, you took the call for Anna Slesers?

That's right.

I need to ask you a detail about the crime scene.

I don't think I'm supposed to be talking to the papers.

No, it's nothing like that.

Uh-- Just wanna ask about the stockings around her neck.

Did you see if they were tied in a single or a double-hitched knot?

There's no way I could tell by looking.

I would've had to roll her over, and-- I'm just a patrolman.

I don't touch the bodies.
