The Rockford Files - 03x13 Sticks and Stones May Break Your Bones, But Waterbury Will Bury You

Summary: Jim returns from vacation and discovers Billy Merrihew watching his trailer. Billy was a private investigator until he lost his license, and now he needs help from Jim. Investigating, Jim turns up two other investigators who have accepted work from Odette Sorrell and suffered for it – one has lost his license, and one likely soon will. And when Jim tracks down "Odette Sorrell", really Susan Hanrahan, a couple of goons roust him. Since “Odette Sorrell” is burning private investigators, Jim wants to go slow. But while he’s devising a plan two of the men decide to try their own stake-out – and one of them dies, apparently the victim of a burglary. Jim has to find a floor that doesn’t exist inside the world’s second largest detective agency to solve this one.
