HOMICIDE: LIFE ON THE STREET: THRILL OF THE KILL (TV)
Summary
One in this dramatic police series about a department of reflective homicide detectives in Baltimore, Maryland. In this episode, Detectives Pembleton and Bayliss are put on a case involving a killer who is driving north on the interstate, leaving a trail of dead bodies behind. The FBI is also on the case and believe that the suspect is strictly a "thrill killer," which makes him harder to track down. Pembleton and Bayliss come to the conclusion that the suspect kills someone every time he stops for gas. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Giardello is anxiously awaiting the arrival of his daughter, Charisse. When Charisse doesn't show up for lunch, Giardello becomes nervous and wonders why she didn't call him. On the interstate, the bodies are piling up, so the police create a road block, but that still doesn't deter the killer. The entire department is put on the case and they finally catch the suspect hiding in the back seat of a woman's car at a gas station. Meanwhile, Giardello receives some surprising news from Charisse which he finds hard to swallow. At the interrogation, the suspect, Newton Dell, swears that he is not the killer and appears to be heading toward an insanity plea, which angers Pembleton and Bayliss. Later, as Bayliss is relaxing at his desk, he receives a phone call from a man claiming to be the real killer -- who then proves his identity to Bayliss. Commercials deleted.
