Calico Jim.
guy ran a saloon,
san francisco, 1890s.

saloon was a front.
he'd drug his customers, you know,
and sell 'em off to see captains.

guy gets drunk, wakes up on a ship.
--pull your weight or walk the plank...

calico jim became the focus
of a police investigation
they send in six undercover cops.

--huh. ...they get him?

mmm (no). they all disappeared.
ended up on a ship.

true story.

--why we talking about calico jim?
I was thinking back over cases, you know
trying to find a parallel - can't find one.
a motive in every kidnapping is defined by demands.
these guys don't seem to have any.

--well, in the end, always comes back to money.
yeah, we'll see.

--so what happened to calico jim?
policeman catches up with him in chile
and shoots him dead in the street.
one bullet for each of those six cops who went missing.
