you had the evidence against winston dellinger. i went to the lab. i swapped the blood sample from his fender for another sample. why'd you do it? i'm a silent partner in the bar. everything i got is in that place. last year, we got sued. guy got beat up in a fight. and the bar lost the suit? i was gonna lose every penny i had. but when i caught the dellinger case, i found out his father would hear the appeal of the lawsuit. the judge must have been scared about his son going to prison? yeah. terrified. i mean, he was sure the kid would be killed, 'cause of all the guys he put away. so i went to the judge and made a deal. he'd rule in the bar's favor,

i'd hide the evidence against winston. how did that get winston killed? that night, i'm in bed, asleep. and winston calls me in a drunken panic. he says he was driving and hit somebody... again. i said he should man up and call the cops. he says if i don't help him, he'll tell about the deal i made with his father. i mean, he was going to destroy my career. so i go out to the place to meet him. look, i hit him right there. oh, my car. look, he must have crawled off the road or some-- well, don't just stand there, help me! you owe me! my dad saved your ass! now do something! he's freaking out. i mean, he can't find the body. he thinks maybe whoever he hit is still alive and crawled away. i mean... he was out of control.

it's gotta be here somewhere. and that's when i knew. it's gotta be here. if i don't do something about this fool, right now... winston. he's gonna dog me the rest of my life. sorry. you, uh, you ever find the guy he hit? must be still out there somewhere. no. but uniforms found a deer that had been hit by a car a little ways off the road. must have been too drunk to know the difference. a deer? he... (door opens) he hit a... a deer? (door closes) (scoffs) that's perfect. (bell dings) (gate scrapes, clicks)

so minelli really hired this jane guy? well, he exposed a corrupt cop, dethroned a judge. those are all major points for us. as far as minelli's concerned, he's a hero. and, uh... does hannigan know about this? yeah. he doesn't want to work with jane, so he's transferring to another unit. any idea who's gonna replace hannigan? don't know yet. there's a new class of trainees coming up. maybe we'll get one of them. files are right there if you wanna take a look. like this one. she's cute. one last time-- are you sure you wanna do this? yes, i am. okay. i tried. you did. thank you.

shall we go? (clicks switch) here you go. i'm going home. if you need me to explain anything, give me a call.

(phone rings) yes? (woman) virgil minelli? yes. who's this? alexa shultz, fbi. we met at the forensics conference in roanoke. director shultz. what a pleasure to hear from you. i understand the cbi has hired a new consultant, a man named patrick jane? yes. i'm surprised you know. i didn't realize you followed our hiring that closely. mr. jane is connected to a case we're interested in. the serial killer known as red john. i'm, um, calling to ask a favor. what's that? i would appreciate updates on the red john case. that waywhen my boss asks me what's going on, i have something to tell him. to put it bluntly, alexa,

why would i do that? what's in it for me? it's useful to have a friend in the fbi, isn't it? and i'm a good friend. well, i'm a great believer in inter-agency cooperation. i don't see why we couldn't engage in some. i look forward to it, virgil. oh, by the way, one thing you might want to know about patrick jane-- you know how he's been out of sight in the past year? you know where he's been? no. an insane asylum. good luck. done. thank you. (man) good morning.

hey, boss. shh. (lowered voice) we caught one. fresno. (lowered voice) get rigsby. let's leave before traffic. okay. stay tuned for scenes from our next episode. >> next on 9 news, sandy

continues to strengthen. a devastating storm is on the way in terms of both wind and flooding. eping hair smooth shiny and free from flyaways. new dove style + care frizz free cream serum. better style through better care. and i've got to pick someone.

>> tonight, the washington area braces for one of the most fiercest storms ever. it's unprecedent. a hurricane storm on a collision course with two other powerful systems bringing heavy

rain, strong winds and large waves and it's only going to get worse. good evening. i'm anita brikman. >> and i'm derek mcginty. >> we have breaking news to talk about. every available police officer in prince george's county is on the lookout for three young children abducted in a carjacking. an amber alert has been issued. >> it happened around 9:40 this evening at liberty gas station. the car is a nissan altima. the three children are under the age of 6. we'll update this story as we get more information. now we go back to the monster storm with the deceive tily gentle name making its presence felt all across our neighborhoods tonight. there are lots of closings to tell you about for tomorrow, but if you plan on going anywhere, you wouldn't be able to take the metro. no trains, no buses. we've also got school closings to tell you about tonight.

in maryland schools are closed in prince george's county and in virginia no classes in fairfax, loudoun and arlington county schools. >> the federal government is closed tomorrow. mark is shut down and amtrakcancelled most eastern trains. we have it on our website, wusa9.com. throughout this expanded broadcast tonight you can see all the closings at the bottom of your tv screen. tonight we have team coverage of hurricane sandy. our news crews are around the region and at the beaches. first, right to topper shutt for the latest on sandy's path. >> not much changed. strengthened a little bit, which is a little disconcerting over the past three hours. let's start with a track. it's essentially the same. moving northeast at about 14. she's about 290 miles east of hatteras and 470 miles south of new york city. she will turn eventually to the north and then northwest. this is what makes the storm

unprecedented that most nor easters continued along the east coast. itthis one is making a left turn. we're looking at hurricane- force winds in delaware as we get into monday. after it rolls through it gets into south central pa. this is now tuesday night, 8:00. we still have 50 miles per hour winds. it's kind of ironic and a little bit different. we talk about hurricanes losing strength when they make landfall, but it will strengthen a little bit as it makes landfall and shortly thereafter before it finally weakens and tracks off into southern quebec eventually. i think this tracks a little too quick. i think it will slow down and sit in south central pa for a couple of days. maybe wednesday and begin to leave on thursday. by tomorrow morning winds will be buffeting everybody east of i-95. good news, hurricane-force

winds offshore. then we get into monday afternoon. now we have tropical storm force winds back to winchester all the way back down into the carolinas. now we're seeing winds up to 73 miles per hour buffeting ocean city and bethany. by monday 7:00 we have tremendous winds, almost hurricane-force winds in southern maryland and the bay and hurricane-force winds offshore that will make landfall around atlantic city and some of these winds spread we say what were into the immediate metro area. we're in store for a long, prolonged period of both heavy rain and also some hype winds and damage. we'll come back and detail the damage for your particular town. >> all right, topper. the surf is getting rougher tonight in rah hoe back -- rehobak beach where people were ordered to evacuate. did people stay or go? >> no, they're gone. we're some of the few people left in rah hoe bath --

rehobath beach. this is the calm before the storm. waves 15 feet high. there's going to be an incredible surge once the hurricane passes through here. that is the hurricane lifting the water up. on top of the surge of several feet they're predicting, you can add the tide and the waves. the water is almost up to the boardwalk. rest assured tomorrow night, we probably won't be on the balcony, it won't be safe. the water will be aboveboard walk. we're up four stories right now. a police officer was here a little earlier. he's the first sign of life we've seen since that mandatory evacuation went into effect some three hours ago. everybody within three-quarters of a mile from the boardwalk and the water has been ordered out and most people have complied with this. you can see a hotel across the street. nobody's there. most of the businesses boarded up and gone. now, they expect flooding, power outages, property losses, a lot of damage here.

they're told hunker down, if at all possible, even if you're not in the evacuation area. shelter in places, it's that serious. let's go to some of what we found earlier this evening. as the waves grew, the calm and curious locals had to be here to see the coming phenomenon known as sandy. >> this probably won't ever happen again. we're about to get almost a direct hit. might as well enjoy it. >> you can turn right over here in this parking lot. >> reporter: the mandatory curfew took effect at 8:00 tonight. delaware governor arrived in rehobath beach to get out. >> likely you'll get cut off. we're already seeing a bunch of flooding and the storm is still hundreds of miles away. >> that's what they've been doing. businesses have boarded up, some of them leaving messages for the storm that is costing

them precious scarce dollars outside the tourist season. >> there's thousands of people that rented hotels, who drive from all over, who even fly in to come for the sea witch parade. so this is really a shock. >> better to be safe than sorry. >> others waited until the end for one last call. >> probably each day, you're talking 40 shifts, so it's big. >> the flooding already started. this is route 1 in dewey. >> what are you thinking? >> it's rough. i'm thinking probably lose a good part of it, what i'm thinking. >> okay. there's no ban on driving outside of the evacuation area. however, they call it a level one ban. what that means is you can drive, but you better have a good reason. it has to be essential. that could include business. we should point out there are shelters, about four in the area. people already showing up in the shelters, also, storage

shelves like everywhere else practically empty. we're talking rehobath beach, dewey, bethany, south bethany, lewis, delaware to the north, a little below sea level, they expect serious flooding there sometime tomorrow. coming up a little bit later the second half hour, we go back and talk to the governor more. he has receiving advice for people living in the washington area who have homes here. don't bother to come here until after all this is over, he said. then he's got a few other things to add. back to you guys. >> i saw the sign, we ain't scared of sandy. i wish i could say that. we go to dave owens, hunkered down at chesapeake beach. how scared are the folks there? >> reporter: i'll tell you what, they know a little bit about hurricane sandy, that's for sure. i will say this much. it's really starting to pick up in the last little bit, we've seen the rain really start to pelt in. the winds, i would say, about 15, 20 miles per hour

sustained. i've got my wind meter here. certainly that's what we're dealing with. this is an area of concern though, guys. as i move down here to this pier, we're right on the water, this is an area in years past, hurricane irene, hurricane isabel, totally flooded over with storm surge. so there's certainly concern about that. throughout the day i've been talking to the mayor here at chesapeake beach, bruce wall. he tells me that the one thing that he's going to be looking at in the next couple of hours as we get into the morning hours is high tide. it's going to come up here about 4:00 in the morning. he expects the tide to be three feet higher than it normally is. so that's saying something for an area that, as i say, totally flooded over in years past. now, i guess the good news is not a lot of tourists out here. we didn't see a lot of them moving and shaking throughout the day. in fact, we're here right next to one of the main hotels. they tell me there's nobody in there almost. so that's a good thing, there's not a lot of tourists here. for the people who are here and

for the people who live here, they know all about storm preps. we caught up with many of them this afternoon. take a look. >> reporter: these people know about hurricane preps. it's sandbags for sandy here at chesapeake bay. >> worked really hard the last eight hours. we had atm machines we had to dig up out of the ground and get the candy machine out. >> reporter: for owners of these boats, extra precautions necessary. >> we're doubling up our lines in case one breaks. >> reporter: the hope is sandy doesn't turn into a nightmare scenario like hurricane isabel in 2003. >> isabel was probably up to our chest. that's what i expect. >> you're expecting it to be that bad, israel as a bell-like conditions where it was up to the chest? >> yes. >> reporter: wow is right. on the north side of the beach, this home boarded up, nobody home. not everybody's leaving. >> we like it.

we see god's awesome hand bringing in a storm like that. we enjoyed no power last time. >> reporter: they're not alone. our cameras able to peer inside while this gentleman watches tv. planning to ride out the weather, which by the way, strictly for the ducks. >> yeah. strictly for the ducks, guys. no doubt about that. one more thing before i send it back to you, again, just got off the phone with mayor bruce wall here. he tells me the good news, no power outages here at chesapeake beach. coming up in the second hour, we'll show you more sights and sounds from out here. wind starting to pick up 20, 25 miles per hour. they're battening down the hatches. for now, back to you guys in the studio. >> we'll hope those lights stay on. thank you, dave. anita? >> now we go to alexandria where residents are no strangers to flooding. with the storm like this one people have been getting ready all day. matt jablow is in old town. >> reporter: the waters of the potomac have risen quite a bit

causing some flooding on the streets of old town, but nothing, and i mean nothing compared to what we're expecting here over the next few days. >> all we can do is prepare. >> reporter: matt irving has been a server at the mai tai restaurant for the past three years. >> we've been preparing since friday. >> reporter: today he was a mover, moving everything, and i mean everything. >> tables, chairs, kitchen equipment. >> reporter: from the first floor of the restaurant to the second, in preparation for hurricane sandy. >> of course, we have to clear out the freezer and take it to another freezer. >> reporter: like many businesses near the water in old town alexandria, the restaurant has been flooded several times over the past few hours. the restaurant's management is taking no chances. the storm the size and strength of sandy. >> take everything, have to be prepared for water to come inside, because it's probably going to happen. >> reporter: alexandria mayor thinks that's a very good idea. >> just really waiting for things to happen. >> reporter: urging all alexandria residents and business owners to take every

precaution, including removing campaign signs from their lawns as sandy approaches. >> with the heavy wind gusts, these signs will get blown and thrown all over the place. >> reporter: for his part, the mayor closed all the public schools on monday. calls for additional public safety officers to be on standby, and authorized to give away of thousands of sandbags. all to try to minimize the damage done when sandy barrels through the mid-atlantic. >> we've done and doing everything we can to make certain that we get through this, we weather this storm and then shortly thereafter, the businesses will be up and running. >> so clearly they are prepared here now in alexandera. the question is are they prepared enough? we'll soon see. >> you similar the pa thiez with them. matt jablow, thank you. our debra alfarone is on the road tonight driving back from new york. she joins us via the telephone. i know new yorkers are facing evacuation orders for parts of the big apple. how have you found the roads out of town? >> reporter: actually, it's

pretty shocking. i'm one of very few people on the roads tonight. i thought it was going to be a lot more busy, to be honest with you. but it actually has been the calm before the storm. you hear that a lot of the it iseerily calm out here. i'm over the delaware bridge and heading into the d.c. area, but i'm about 65 miles from baltimore. i hear my gps talking there. i'm telling you it has been very quiet. i got over the bridge. you definitely feel the wind. it's very eerie driving through this area because you're going underneath sienlsdst saying we'll be closing roads and bridges at any time. they are not doing that. everyone's just -- the few people out here are following the rules and the roads and everyone is driving nice. i'm very surprised. i thought i would be with a lot of people tonight. >> how about the weather itself? how is that shaping up so far? >> it's clear. now just got a little bit of

drizzle. i was surprised. i've been on the road 2 1/2 hours now. >> drive safe. >> i will. >> see you soon. anita? >> derek, here at wusa 9, we'll be with you throughout this storm. our news starts tomorrow at 4:00 a.m. and we are going around the clock. our entire news room will be out in full force and our health desk will be activated to hear your questions and concerns to take concerns. everybody is worried about losing power, we've got you covered starting tomorrow at 4:00 a.m., all of our news will be streaming live on our mobile site. if you lose power, you can watch news on your tablet or mobile device and still get the most up-to-date information. thousands of people are relying on 9 news text alerts. to get all this text sandy to 25543. you will be signed up immediately and start getting 9 news alerts to keep you safe and protected. we also want to hear from you and what you and your family are going through during

this storm. so be sure to go to our facebook page and report your power outages, any damage you might have. of course, we definitely want your photos. also, follow us on twitter at wusa 9 and at erica grove. our meteorological team will keep you up-to-date. i'm hoping you have already stocked. we're going to go to a break. we'll be back in just a few minutes.

by now, i'm hoping you've already stocked up on all the batteries and bottled water you need, but there are some other things to think about if the power goes out. for example, charge your cell phone right now and dim the brightness feature on the phone. turn off any unnecessary apps.

that will help conserve the digital power. find your digital camera. if you experience storm damage, your insurance company will want photos. all the halloween decorations, take them down now, even a small pumpkin can cause serious damage to your home or another person if the wind picks it up and throws it around. >> the platforms at metro center were quiet tonight as people hunkered down for sandy's arrival. tomorrow until further notice they will stay quiet because metro already decided to shut down. it is the first time in the history of this transit agency the system made the call to completely shut down before the storm arrives. metro says the combo of a worsening forecast, concerns about power failures and employees staying home tomorrow led to their decision. >> we're going to see how the storm plays out and have to assess what the damage is from it. where do we have flooding, downed trees, issues with

trees? >> for updates on when the metro system will be back in business, keep it here on 9 news and check out metro's website. we've got a link to it on the closure section of wusa9.com. the word is this storm bearing down on the east coast could effect as many as 65 million people. that's about a fifth of the entire population of the country. millions of them are in new york city where tonight there's an evacuation order for portions of all five bureaus. randall pinkston is in lower manhattan. >> reporter: derek, this is a very serious situation. i'm standing at what's known as zone a. this is one of the areas where the mayor ordered an evacuation. we saw a lot of people leaving, but there's still some people who are hanging out, thinking that maybe it won't be so bad. authorities are telling them don't take the chance. >> sandy is making her presence known along the east coast. the monster storm is moving

north with some 60 million people in its path. >> got everything pretty well situated, bunkered down, generators ready to rock. >> landfall isn't expected until late monday or early tuesday. but there is already flooding in virginia and tens of thousands of people from delaware to southern new england are evacuating the coast. >> new york's mayor ordered evac elevation in flood-prone areas. >> if you refuse to evacuate, you're not only putting yourself at risk but also the first responders who will have to assist you in emergency. >> stephanie's family plans to stay with friends. >> it's been a hectic day. we have two little kids so we had to back all of our stuff and leave. >> forkers predict -- forecasters predict it could top 11 feet, which means the hudson river could overflow the

seawall. thousands of schools and government offices in washington, d.c. will close monday. the storm will stretch over 800 miles. >> we're talking about snowfall further west into the mountains, portions of west virginia may see over two feet of snow. so sandy has a lot to offer and none of it really looks that good. >> sandy is also expected to knock out power to millions for days. >> and if that storm surge does indeed top 11 feet and overflows the seawall, you will have water on the streets of lower manhattan. reporting live, i'm randall pinkston, back to you derek. >> we know new york has prided itself about not getting too worked up about a lot of things. there are reports after irene didn't do as much damage as expected last year, some are saying we can handle this and are reluctant to leave town. are you seeing that? >> yeah. as a matter of fact, we've been hearing and seen people walking around here tonight. but you know, there's this old saying that it's really applicable to this situation. better safe than sorry.

so authorities are saying why take the risk? this storm is not like anything we've seen before. certainly not in repeat times. and they want people to get out while there's still time. keep in mind, too, we're looking at new jersey right behind me. the port authority is telling us at any moment given weather conditions they will shut down the bridges and the tunnels so you'll get stuck. there's no mass transit, no buses, no trains. you won't be able to drive your car if those bridges and tunnels are closed. >> get out now or face the consequences. thank you. >> and we'll update sandy's projected impact on the d.c. metro area when we come back right after the break.
