yes.
ok, gordon.
ok, gordon.
okay, gordon!!!
smell something fishy, huh?
congratulations. i heard about that.
federal?
right, gordon. we'll be in touch.
code. if you work with gordon you learn that right away.
sort of shorthand.
we're heading into a difficult situation.
i'll explain it to you. do you remember lil's dance?
lil was wearing a sour face.
her face had a sour look.  that means we're going to have trouble with the local authorities. they are not going to be receptive to the fbi.
both eyes blinking means there is going to be trouble higher up.  the eyes of the local authority. a sheriff and a deputy. that would be my guess. two of the local law enforcers are going to be a problem.
not cole's uncle but probably the sheriff's uncle in federal prison.
right, which is probably why lil was wearing a red wig meaning we are headed into a dangerous situation. let me ask you something, stanley, did you notice anything about the dress?
gordon said you were good. the tailored dress is our code for drugs. did you notice what was pinned to it?
very good, but i can't tell you about that.
what? that's just gordon's bad taste.
he talks loud. and he loves his code.
gordon would not have sent us to deer meadow without thinking it was a high priority situation.
good afternoon, federal bureau of investigation, special agent chet desmond. i'd like to see sheriff cable.
okay, that's it. i've had enough of the waiting room now.
you can start that fresh pot of coffee right now.
federal bureau of investigation, special agent chet desmond.
your behavior is not funny and is wasting the time of the federal government.
well, little fella, let me put it this way. the operative word here would be "federal". with or without the semantics of all this, i am now ordering you to release all pertinent information concerning teresa banks, both while living and deceased.
that's why we're here, sheriff cable. where's the body?
we've got our own clock. we'll lock up.
teresa banks lived at the canyon trailer park for a month. we'll check that. and worked as a waitress at hap's truck stop. worked the night shift. good place for dinner when we're thru here, sam. no one came to claim the body and no known next of kin.
that's what i heard.
that's good.
i don't know, sam.
sure, but let's finish up with this first.
cole said she was 17.
yeah. personal effects include a watch, under garments, and a blue waitress uniform.  the ring is missing. it says the rest of her things haven't been removed yet from the trailer. let's hope it's there.
oh.
accidental?
what is it?
we're not. you and i are going to get some food.
where's hap?
sorry to hear it.
i'd like to ask you a few questions about teresa banks
any friends?
ever see her with someone else?
did she ever mention any friends?
how come jack let's you work here?
say no more.
federal bureau of investigation, special agent chet desmond. i'd like to ask you a few questions about teresa banks. jack said you knew her. how well?
what happened to her?
did you ever see teresa take cocaine?
do you take cocaine, irene?
he's with me. anything you would like to tell us about teresa banks that would help us out?
thanks.
you have something to tell us?
what?
what time is it, stanley?
it's late, sam.
what do you mean?
thanks.
i think that's a good idea.
i think we should see the sun rise at the canyon trailer park.
no, sam, i'm speaking plainly and i mean just exactly what i say.
federal bureau of investigation, special agent chet desmond and agent sam stanley. sorry to disturb you, but we would like to see teresa banks' trailer, please.
did she have someone with her?
was there an argument?
yes they do. did she have visitors?
she must have known someone.
take a look at this.
my guess is there isn't enough detail in the photo to get an idea of the design on the ring, but we should do a blowup of this anyway.
you weren't kiddin'. this stuff's got the sting of the forty-eight hour blend.
did you know teresa banks?
what are you doing here in the trailer court, deputy?
can i ask you where you were the night teresa banks was murdered?
did you know teresa banks?
no you couldn't.
is there a golf course around here?
thanks for your help, carl. sorry we woke you up.
he's not the murderer. but he's a bozo.
we're taking the body back to portland and there's not a thing you can do about it.
teresa banks had a ring. any idea what happened to it?
sam, get the body and put it in the van. sheriff cable, where were you the night teresa banks was murdered?
i don't take it, sam. i give it.
i think i'll take off my badge as well.
this one's comin' from j. edgar.
who's next?
take the van back to portland, stanley. i'm going to take one more look at the trailer park.
faulty wiring.
thanks, sam, for the good work. you have a good eye for detail.
