[voiceover] Sherman Duffy of the New York Herald once said, "A newspaperman is the loneliest guy on earth. Socially he ranks somewhere between a hooker and a bartender. Spiritually he stands with Galileo, because he knows the world is round." [Sarcastically] Not that it matters much, when his editor knows its flat.

The Night Stalker
[about his vampire story] Judge for yourself its believability and then try to tell yourself, wherever you may be, it couldn't happen here.
The Night Stalker
Don't look now, baby, but Kolchak's coming back in style.
The Night Stalker
[picking up phone] Kolchak.
JODr. John O'Brien
Hi, Carl. I just thought you'd like to know I heard the Parkway Hospital was knocked over.
Yeah? Knocked over for what? Cash, drugs, equipment, what? [shocked reaction to the response] Blood?
JODr. John O'Brien
That's right. Every container in the place. Their entire stock.
What about blood type?
JODr. John O'Brien
Seems blood type and Rh factor didn't much matter.
The Night Stalker
Chapter One: This is the story behind one of the greatest manhunts in history. Maybe you read about it or rather what they let you read about it.

DADistrict Attorney Tom Paine
[after a disastrously failed capture attempt of Skorzeny] Well, what are we gonna do?
[from the back of the room] Now are you willing to listen to my insane ideas?
SWSheriff Warren A. Butcher
[angrily] Kolchak, get out of here!
DADistrict Attorney Tom Paine
Warren, hold it, hold it! Kolchak, you were there, weren't you?
Yes.
DADistrict Attorney Tom Paine
Every man we've questioned insists not only that Skorzeny was possessed of incredible strength, but that he was shot more than once during the capture attempt.
Oh, I'd say thirty or forty times.
PCPolice Chief Ed Masterson
I'm sorry, I'm not buying that.
Captain, you have two choices. Either he was shot, or your entire police department is blind.
DADistrict Attorney Tom Paine
Ed, let's admit it. We had the man, had him cornered, and we couldn't hold him. Let Kolchak have his say.
The Night Strangler
[voiceover] This is the story behind the most incredible series of murders to ever occur in the city of Seattle, Washington. You never read about them in your local newspapers or heard about them on your local radio or television station. Why? Because the facts were watered down, torn apart, and reassembled... in a word, falsified.
The Night Strangler
I just saw your "so-called killer" wipe up the street with your so-called police force!
The Night Strangler
RMDr. Richard Malcolm
What's a few lives compared to immortality, Mr. Kolchak?
The Night Strangler
All right, all right. I'm willing to buy the idea that these two series of murders might somehow be connected. I'm even willing to buy that they might have been committed by the same man. [pause] But a man, Kolchak, a man. Not some sort of a super dead man.
The Night Strangler
SSheila
I'm sorry, Captain Schubert is very busy, you can't go in there.
Yeah, well, I gotta see him.
SSheila
I said you cannot go in there!
I'm going in there, sweetheart.
CRCapt. Roscoe Schubert
What's going on here?
SSheila
I told him you were busy, sir.
I've been trying to see you since one-thirty this morning, and I'm not gonna leave until I do.
CRCapt. Roscoe Schubert
It's all right, Sheila.
SSheila
I'm sorry, sir.
CRCapt. Roscoe Schubert
It's all right, Sheila.
The Night Strangler
[shouting to Louise as she heads off in a small boat] You know there's been a murder, don't you?
LHLouise Harper
I also know Seattle is the Northwest's largest seaport. Men come and go with the tide. The murderer is probably in Yokohama by now. Bye!
