...some sort of incident occurs in the vicinity of Channel View Estates. Firearms are discharged. When the dust settles, we find one Glen Charlock deceased. But more compellingly for L.A.P.D. is the man Charlock was supposed to be guarding. Michael Z. Wolfmann has vanished... ...giving local law enforcement less than 24 hours... ...before the Feds call it a kidnapping and come in to fuck everything up. So perhaps, Sportello, you can help forestall this... ...by providing the names of the other members of your cult.

No. Look, I've been referred to... ...more than one time by the L.A. Times... ...as a Renaissance detective. Okay? Which means I am many things. One thing I am not is stupid... ...so purely out of noblesse oblige, I extend this assumption to cover you as well. What the fuck? Hey, Saunch. What's up, Doc? You know you have no case here. So if you're gonna charge him, you better. Otherwise, you have to let him go. Remember who this is you're talking to. That's Bigfoot Bjornsen. Renaissance cop.

You working for these people at the club? I don't know. Maybe. It's where I pick up my paycheck. Where are you staying? House in Topanga Canyon. Band I used to play for, The Boards. But none of them know it's me. How can they not know it's you? Even when I was alive, they didn't know it was me. - The sax player. The session guy. - Mm. Plus, over the years, there's been a big turnover in personnel. Like, The Boards I played with... ...most of them have gone off and formed other bands. Only one or two of the old crew left... ...and, luckily, they're suffering from heavy Doper's Memory. DOC: Mm. Story is you came to grief behind some bad smack. You still into that? No.

She called me up a couple days ago before Mickey Wolfmann disappeared. Told me how his wife and her boyfriend... ...were plotting to hustle Mickey and grab all his money. So I sure hope that you guys or the cops or whoever are looking into that. With your years of experience as a Pl, would you call that a reliable lead? I've known worse.
