Screencaps for Ep 3.18 added

I have just added the screencaps for Ten Dollar Murder to the episodes' page. A number of taxi driver robberies culminates in the murder of an undercover police officer who performs as a cab driver. While investigating the robbery case which just turned into a homicide matter, Mike is asked by an old friend of the robbery department, Officer Irene Elliot, for help as she is afraid of losing contact and influence to her teenage son, Bobby. Irene's and Mike's ways had crossed just the night before when Irene tried to catch a hooker on the run inside the SFPD lower parking garage. Being an old friend of Irene's husband too, late Officer Don Elliot, Mike complies her request to talk to her son who, in her comprehension, is missing a father figure. We as the audience already know that in fact it is Bobby and his teenage buddy Charles 'Tiny' Reynolds who spend their leasure time robbing the San Francisco cab drivers. However, it is a taxi driver's observation who was knocked almost unconscious that one of the robbers had a remarkable buckle on, a shiny Indian's head. Irene discovers that her son obviously took her late husband's service revolver, but she cannot handle the situation and tries to suppress what is the obvious truth. It is Steve who - rather by chance actually - finally nails the mystery when he interviews Bobby in his high school gym's changing room after his friend Tiny was found dead in a car, intoxicated by exhaust gases, as he recognizes the notable Indian head buckle. Bobby still thinks he can play the 'innocent boy' part but Mike and Steve are already on his trail. In a desparate effort to get away with murders, Bobby threatens both Mike and Steve with his father's gun - but when he tries to escape the dramatic confrontation, Irene realizes what he did and takes matters into her own hands.

Filming locations include several nightly spots at Fishermans Wharf, precisely around Jefferson and Taylor Streets, where Bobby Elliot and Tiny Reynolds are getting on the cabs. Mike's and Steve's original case leads them to Ghirardelli Square and the (now-demolished) Transbay Transit Terminal, and we are also taken to the underground parking lot of the SFPD. Irene Elliot's house is located in the Sunset District, whereas Bobby kills Tiny at Lands End. Mike and Irene are having dinner in a Japanese Restaurant, however, there are no exterior shots but the glimpse of the street scenes through the restaurant's window in background seem to imply it was actually filmed in Japan Town. Bobby and Elliot are working in a car repair garage in Haight-Ashbury, next to Golden Gate Park. Following the shootout in front of the Elliot house, Bobby is taken to the Davies Campus of California Pacific Medical Center where the epilogue scene was filmed.
