All language subtitles for T.J Hooker s01e02 The Streets

Good day, ma 'am. How are you today?

Fine, thank you. Did you know that Jesus
loves you?

Yes, I do.

That's wonderful. Well, then, if I could
just take a few short minutes of your

time... I'm really busy. Thank you very
much, but... It really would be worth

your while.

Yes, no, but... What are you doing? Get
out of here!

Don't make any sound, and don't do
anything that would have bet me and

train of thought.

Just put the key into the ignition and
back out.

I keep telling you, Hooker, your car is
a certified clunker. You need to trade

it before it dies under you.

Last few days of the month.

Car sales, if you haven't met their
quotas, will be right for that last sale

two. Right.

Take a slow day, just before closing,
and be sure it's a good time.

Are we buying a car or are we holding
them up?

Hooker, I'm sitting here pouring out a
lifetime of knowledge and you're making

light. What time?

My tires are older than you, Junior.

Units in the vicinity of 4 Adam 30.

They're playing our song.

A possible attack in progress at the
parking lot 422 North Pine.

4 Adam 30, be advised.

There is also an ambulance en route to
422 North Pine.

That's four blocks away. Let's go for
it, Eddie. You got it.

What happened over there?

Well, I'm sure it's nothing serious.

Here comes our bus.

Stand back, please. Give us the mirror.

Please, stand back.

How would you live in mail?

All right, then. An ambulance is on its
way.

Did you see which way the suspect went?
No, I just saw him sitting in the car,

and he hit her a couple of times.

Get that camera out of here, please.

Tracy Hill, Channel 6 News.

I don't care about Walter Cronkite.

Back off.

Excuse me.

He said,

thank you very much for your time.

God loves you. And then he handed me
that.

Just relax, lady.

Help is on its way.

Another Bible.

It's him.

Sergeant, is this another attack by the
Bible mugger? No comment.

That's all we seem to be getting from
your people. It's no comment and no

progress. You get that camera out of
here, please.

Eddie, you keep rolling.

This woman has been brutally beaten. You
found the Bible, which is the signature

of the mugger who's been terrorizing
this place. I said get the camera out of

face.

All right, Eddie, pull the plug.

I don't think he likes us much.

Well, with you, that's understandable.

Me, I'll grow on him.

I don't get it, Hooker. Is this mother
character a religious nut who likes to

abuse women, or is he just out for the
money?

Oh, you figure it out.

He beats him up, gives him a sermon, and
then takes an offering of cash or

jewelry, whatever the guy.

Then leaves him a Bible, all in the name
of God.

Talk about weird.

Freak city.

Let's get this creep off the streets and
then let the doctors figure it out.

Captain, there have been four attacks on
women in your precinct by some psycho

who leaves Bibles behind.

You have an M .O. and you have a
description from each of the victims.

So what exactly is happening with this
case?

Well, as soon as we have something on
the muggings, Tracy, I promise I'll give

you a first shot.

Oh, that'd be super.

But, you know, I just had a flash on
what I really like, what could be the

of our documentary.

I'd like to ride in one of your patrol
cars on a regular watch.

I don't see any problem with that.

Oh, good.

Good.

With those two officers, Hooker and
Romano, isn't it?

Hooker and Romano aren't exactly what
you'd call the police department's

relations experts.

I recall a controversy when Sergeant
Hooker was disciplined for a shooting

incident, but he also had, and correct
me if I'm wrong, a medal of valor and an

impressive list of commendations.

Believe me, you'd be wasting your time.

Captain, we're shooting an hour of tape.
Now, as attractive as I'm going to make

you look at it...

me all you.

Hooker? Romano?

Sergeant Hooker?

Officer Romano?

Tracy Hill?

Yes,

we have.

I apologize if we got in your way today.
That was my fault. I just have this

natural instinct for fishing.

When you try it again with me, you'll be
looking for a new creek.

See what I mean?

Yeah. Don't mind my partner, Miss Hill.
I caught that piece you did on youth

gangs, and I really liked it. It had a
nice perspective.

Well, thank you.

I have an even better angle on you and
Sergeant Hooker.

Yeah? You gonna make us stars?

Oh, it could be.

Weren't you recruited in that new on
-the -job training program that Sergeant

Hooker taught at the academy?

I'm still part of it in the probation
phase of my training.

Living at the academy barracks till I
put in enough duty for graduation.

You see?

That's perfect.

I can use all of that in my story. What
are we talking about here, Captain? Miss

Hill's doing a news documentary.

She'll be writing with you and Romano
tomorrow.

Captain Sheridan, it's rough enough out
there on the streets without being

anchored with some news hit. No offense.

I'll bet.

Well, this was approved downtown.

You're being told, Hooker, not asked.

Now, I'll leave the three of you to work
it out.

You know, if you'll just cooperate, life
could be a lot easier.

Your life, not mine.

When we hit those streets, Miss Hill,
it's real.

And it's rough.

That's a TV roadshow.

I guess when you get to know him, he's
just a pussycat.

Well, if I ever really get to know him,
I'll be sure to let you know.

Susie, see you tomorrow.

The battery again.

Can I help you?

There you go, Hooker.

What, no date tonight, Romano?

Just do any minute. He's on a roll. Like
a consecutive game streak.

Oh, well, if I'm not mistaken, Romano,
your little bit of heaven just glided

through the door.

I'll be in my private booth.

Listen, if I have to split, I don't want
to leave you stranded. How's your

turkey car running?

Like me, after a little oil. Smooth.

Great. Then it'll be running nice and
good for Melvin.

Melvin? The car dealer friend of mine.
He's going to fix you up. I don't want

be fixed up.

Trust me, partner.

Trust me.

Hi, Vince. Am I late?

Not at all. Step into my private booth.

Jerry, hit me again.

Make it two.

That's still spoken for.

Well, hello to you too, Hooker.

Oh, I'm fine. Just fine. Thank you.

Well, now that we're old dear friends,
I'm interested in this mugger cave.

What can you tell me about it?

Why don't you ask the detectives
assigned to it?

Thank you.

You never have seen any of my work, have
you?

I live in a fringe area. I don't get
channel sex.

Well, how do you know that I'm not as
good a reporter as you think you are a

cop? It's the media, right? You don't
think it's reliable?

Hmm. It's reliable. Oh, too reliable.

Numbingly predictable.

Predictable? Sure.

As soon as the latest axe murderer is
captured, a swarm of reporters converges

on the neighbor as the milkman assorted
distant relatives.

You knew him? What was he like?

And the neighbor.

I was flattered to the interview. It
says, oh, he's a regular fella. He had a

smile on his face for everybody. I can't
believe that he killed all those

people. Well, a lot of people think that
we do a pretty good job under a lot of

pressure. Yeah, well, maybe they're
right. What can I tell you?

You know, if you've been burned, Hooker,
I am sorry, but it was not by me.

Listen, baby, you already got what you
want.

You're riding with us.

So why don't you leave it lay, huh?

You know, I can read you like a book.

Yeah. Yeah.

A regular nightcap every p .m. in here
since you were a rookie.

Same stool because you're superstitious.

A double because it gets you there
faster. And you're a man who doesn't

waste time.

Born and raised within ten miles of the
precinct, but you still don't have any

roots. And all your friends are cops
because you don't trust anybody else.

And you're closer to your partner than
you will be to any woman ever.

Divorced. Probably because the woman
couldn't handle standing in line second

the department.

Or waiting for a 2 a .m. phone call
telling her that you've been blown away.

How am I doing so far?

Fair. Fair? Just fair?

My batting average is usually higher
than that.

Fair.

We're a girl from Cincinnati.

Or is it Cleveland?

No matter.

What's important is you made it from the
small town to the big time.

Chalked up some impressive credits.

and you're within a shouting distance of
a network job.

You're a feminist, but a realist. You'll
have a double shot with a cop to get an

angle when you'd rather have a glass of
white wine.

Good year.

You're single, but you live alone
because relationships can get in the way

career. Watch Barbara Walters tapes
every weekend.

Religiously send your press clippings
home to Mom and Dad and the two sisters.

And you know.

That a story about cops would be
dynamite.

Because it's high drama.

Life and death.

Rating points.

Excuse me.

I gotta get going. I don't want to miss
the ballgame.

On radio.

Hooker.

It's St.

Louis. And it's one brother and one
sister.

Cops and robbers isn't a game for me,
Miss Hill.

I've seen too much life and death. Too
many alcoholic cops because they're

shaking inside.

Too many divorces and suicides because
of stress.

Too many good men given a cop's funeral
because some unfeeling, unthinking scum

pulls the trigger on them.

Sir Russell.

Hooker. Thank you very much.

Another one, Hooker. Just like the one
you and Romano found.

Five laid next to her on the seat.

Anybody see the suspect?

Just her.

Milk, Caucasian, blonde hair, 5 '11",
150.

Was wearing a yellow windbreaker.

Appeared out of nowhere.

Disappeared the same way. A yellow
windbreaker?

What?

I think I just saw him at the bus stand.

in a minute. I want to talk.

Yes, that's him.

That's the man.

Are you sure, Miss Thomas?

Base, I'll have nightmares over.

I'm positive.

Hooker?

Yeah, no question. That's the man I
chased.

And lost.

Well, excuse me.

I was off duty at the time.

Couldn't find a telephone booth to
change in.

Step over here.

How about the Bible, Jackson?

It's the same as before, sir.

Martial prints.

Nothing weak in ID.

What about the publisher?

Where and how was it purchased?

The biggest volume is sold through a
mail order house in Phoenix.

I gave you everything but the license
number and the cab the suspect took off

in. The cab company dispatcher said that
none of his cabs were logged in

anywhere near the location of the time
you claimed.

Cool it, Jackson.

All right, Jackson, I want a full run on
the sketch and all the particulars, and

I want it distributed to all units
immediately.

Yes, sir.

Hooker? Yes, sir. You and Romano were
supposed to have been on the streets 20

minutes ago. Yes, sir.

One of Mickey's hands must be slow.

Sergeant, could I get a copy of that
composite?

Oh, the composite is given out by
division. We could drop you off if you

you're going to miss something. Not on
your life. My equipment's already in

car. Not all of it, Lucille.

Not all of it.

Romano, was that a compliment or just a
chauvinist dig?

I'm not sure, but Hooker is an
acknowledged expert on equipment.

What about this Bible mugger who's been
terrorizing this city?

Sergeant Hooker, do you have a theory on
that?

You mean his psychological motivation,
his sociopathic patterns, his messed up

childhood, whether or not he resented
his mother?

Then you don't agree with the
psychological profile that was drawn up

detective. I agree with anything that
will help stop what's happening out

But most perpetrators do what they do
because they hate, they want.

They do things to other people because
it's easier to rob them than it is to

work.

4 Adam 30.

4 Adam 30.

6 -8 -6 Longley, Ridgewood Cleaners,
regarding an abandoned vehicle.

Boy, Adam, 30 Roger.

Hooker!

This car's been here since the day that
woman was attacked.

I didn't want to bother you with it, but
when I thought about this mugger, how

he appears out of nowhere, and then he
disappears without a trace. You did the

right thing, Joe. Thank you.

Don't touch it.

It's locked over here.

No, it's unlocked here.

But we don't go in.

Why? No warrant.

Does that upset you?

It's the law.

I mean, does it bother you that the
mugger was as good as in your grasp last

night, and you lost him?

Now there may be a clue in this car.

But the detectives take over. They get
the glory.

You get the street.

You writing a book?

I'm interested in what's behind that
wall you put up.

Four item 30, roger.

Vehicle is registered to Dixon Rent -A
-Car.

I got a hold of L -90 on TAC -2. He ran
it down with Dixon.

Guy who took it never returned it. It's
our composite like a glow.

Name and address?

Burke Park.

You have an Arizona license and a
Phoenix address.

The Bibles were purchased with you?
Yeah.

We'll impound the car with a hole for
prints.

But I don't need a warrant to know it's
for real.

How can you be sure?

On the floor, in the rear.

There's a Bible.

and their sins their evil ways

may God forgive them

thy will be done

There you go, Officer Walker.

You know, I've been thinking.

We saw the suspect at the bus stop. Then
he split in the cab.

Maybe that's part of his M .O. I want to
talk to the cab company. Find out why

Jackson struck out.

Well, that Phoenix name and address of
the DMV...

Is it?

Thank you.

You know, I never did ask you why you
wanted to be a cop.

It's just something I do. I don't try
and analyze it.

Maybe you should.

Hey, lady, I'm a garbage collector. I
collect it and I dump it.

I file my report and I never look back.

I don't believe a word of that because
Ramon has already told me how much you

care. And your record shows it. But I
won't push it.

What's your next step?

Next step?

Lunch. Good idea.

I have more questions I want to ask you
about the Muggers. Oh, good.

Where are we eating?

Across the street. Great sushi joint.

Oh, good sushi. Eddie, come on. Let's
go.

Hooker!

Hey, Hooker, you're not leaving me here.
Why not?

You've had your ride, shot your tape.
Not enough. I want more.

Try the squid.

Excuse me, I don't mean to talk to you,
but may I talk to you for just a few

minutes? I'm sorry, I'm on my way to my
doctor.

Oh, I'm sorry. I don't mean to keep you,
but I'm afraid you're going to be a

little late. Just calm down. Don't make
any loud noise or I'll be both of you

tonight. Come on, let's get in the car.
Come on.

Come on, lady.

Come on. Come on. Get in here. Get in
here.

Close the door, please.

Very good. Very good.

All I want to do is talk to you. What
are you doing?

My medicine.

Oh, my God. I need my pills.

Pills, of course.

My pills. Don't you understand that
that's Satan's way?

My pills. Do you see this Bible?

Now, I'm going to really have to show
you how to repent.

My pills.

That's Satan's way.

Lady, are you listening to me?

Lady!

Hey, what's the matter with you?

Roger Duggar. This is Officer Ramone.

So?

Your dispatcher tells us that you were
working the downtown area the night that

woman was assaulted.

Hey, man, I already talked to the
detectives.

Told them I was nowhere near that
section.

You had a fare you delivered two blocks
from there a half hour before the

attack. Yeah.

And I ran off to the airport, checked my
logbook. Well, I don't think so. Billy,

you have a history of on -the -job
drinking.

And I think you had a few belts.

He pulled over next to the construction
site and grabbed a few Z's.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I saw a capital cab take a suspect away
from that site.

And I'm laying money that you were the
driver. I remember you now.

Eight, nine years ago.

Dealing pills and coke to kids, wasn't
it? I did my time.

I'm clean. You give it to me, Bill.

You give it to me straight or I'll pull
your package and I'll roust you.

Until you lose your hack license for
good.

Look.

I'm behind in my pain.

They're repossessing my car. I needed
the bread.

10 -25.

You're logged out for a trip to the
airport, but actually you're hibernating

the construction site.

This man comes over the fence.

He's in the yellow windbreaker.

And you take him for a pair.

He gave me a hundred up front to get him
gone from there, and another C -note.

To keep my mouth shut after I let him
off.

This dude is messing up a lot of women,
friend. Don't you read the papers?

Like I said, I needed the bread.

I knew I'd get fired if I admitted I was
there and not at the airport.

Or did you let him off?

Bus stop.

Corner of 8th and Broadway.

This is where I first saw the suspect.

Same B -Bus line runs right past the
shopping center where that woman was

attacked.

What are you, some kind of expert on the
B -Bus? Yeah.

I had to take it every day when my
transmission went up. Yeah? Well, Melvin

take care of that.

Told him we'd be by tomorrow.

Is he also going to pay my alimony when
I blow it on the floor on the floor?

Relax. Easy payment plan. Right.

Our man likes the B -Bus.

So let's follow the route.

See where it leads.

What's going down?

I don't know.

Let's take a look.

What

do

you got?

Looks like another Bible job.

Well, this time it went too far.

Is she dead?

The pill container on the floor is
labeled Digitalis. It appears that she

heart attack and couldn't get to the
pills.

Then it's murder.

Who said blue suits are dumb?

You got any word from Phoenix on those
Bibles?

Two dozen of them were shipped last June
to a Burt Clark at a post office box in

Sky Vista.

Where's your TV, pal hooker?

Order the legs and the fast mouth.

You got something against legs?

She's been pumping us for days about the
mugger case.

She gets a chance. I think she's going
to do a hatchet job on whoever's within

striking distance.

Let's go.

So while the city remains terrorized,
while the latest mugging has culminated

death to its helpless female victim.

We still have some old -line cops who
work in an antiquated fashion.

This is Sergeant T .J. Hooker, the
officer who pursued and lost the mugger.

mean his psychological motivation, his
sociopathic patterns, his messed -up

childhood, whether or not he resented
his mother?

Then you don't believe in the
psychological profile that was drawn up

detectives. Hey, I agree with anything
that'll help stop what's going on out

here, but...

Most perpetrators do what they do
because they hate.

They want.

They do things to other people because
it's easier to rob them than it is to

work. That's a wonderful, tough law and
order speech, but it's just more words.

And as you and your cohorts continue to
fumble this mugger case, we have learned

exclusively that fingerprints lifted
from one of the rental cars found

identify an Arlen Williams.

alias Bert Clark, of Phoenix, Arizona,
as a prime suspect.

That report just came in our water. How
did she get it so fast?

Why don't you ask Hooker?

We've also learned that Williams, found
not guilty by reason of insanity in

several brutal assaults on Phoenix
women, had been confined at Phoenix

Hospital before being released in an
outpatient treatment program.

That's wrong!

They were the crazy ones.

And now our special in -studio guest
here to discuss this case, Dr. Walter

Forbes. Can you give us a psychological
profile for this Bible mugger?

Well, there's very little information
available at this time. However, I can

make some educated speculations. He's
probably a very insecure man, although

self -esteem. He tries to compensate for
this by becoming close to a strong,

powerful being like God.

And the Bible, what about that?

Well, he leaves the Bible as a symbol of
both his religion and his challenging

request for the police to stop him.

And so, Sergeant Hooker, in spite of
your evaluation, we have a sociopathic,

sick person walking the streets.

This is Tracy Hill, Channel 6 News.

She made you look like a grade -A chump.

That's it. Thank you.

Hello, Tracy Hill.

Miss Hill, is this really you?

Yes, it is. Who's this?

Miss Hill, this is Harlan Williams.

I've been watching you on the
television, and I think you

I think you're such a...

Fine reporter that, in order to tell my
story properly, you should really know

the truth.

I think we should talk.

Yes. I'm listening. Go ahead.

No, no, no, no, no. Not over the phone.

You don't have to be afraid.

There is a phone booth on the corner of
8th and Maple.

I have the number.

You be there in an hour, and I'll call
you.

I'll be there.

Yeah. Good, you can help me. I want you
to tell Gus to hold open the lead for me

on the 11 and the art department. I want
you to tell him to make blow -ups of

everything you've got on Williams, the
psychiatric file, everything that works.

Hey, you got something hot? Yeah,
sizzling. I'll see you later.

You here to give me a ticket, Hooker? No
warning.

Well, I don't have time for lectures.
I'm in what you might call a hurry.

They're always in a hurry.

I'm so busy being clever, you don't have
time to listen.

Fine, you're angry because you think
that I used you.

And maybe I did, because you've never
given me the respect that I have earned

this business.

The call girl ring in South Beach?

I broke that story before any policeman
even arrested a single suspect.

And the DA used my note to help
prosecute.

Drug bust?

The Rojan murder case? I have paid my
dues, mister, so you stay out of my way

before I call a cop.

I was wrong to dump you the way I did.
And you're just as wrong to pursue what

you're doing alone.

You're in over your head this time,
Tracy. If you have any information, any

leads, turn them over to Jackson and
Barnes. You'll still get your story.

They're worse than you.

You guys think that anything in a skirt
has the IQ of a turnip.

Well, I have my ethics, and I have my
integrity, and I do my homework, Hooker.

And I don't intend to give anybody else
a beat.

You do have a way with women. Yeah, it's
a talent I was born with.

Let's get out of here before we become
another media event.

William Clark.

Had a post office box at Sky Vista at
the end of the B bus run.

Detectives have it staked out, though.
Now, try this one on for size. You know

what's on a hill overlooking Sky Vista?

A cross, a large cross.

Yeah, I know the place. There's an old
convent there. I pulled the Williams

package, and it didn't hit me until now,
but before Williams was committed, he

was a caretaker in Phoenix.

At a convent.

I'm Harlan Williams.

You are alone, aren't you?

Of course.

Um, I deal with a phone call, not this.

Well, I thought meeting face to face
would be far more enlightening for both

us.

Why don't we go someplace where we can
be alone?

No, this is, uh, this is isolated
enough.

I thought you were interested in where I
live.

Why I have to do what I do.

Oh, I am. Yes, of course I am.

I'm... McHill.

I don't have to tell you about this, do
I?

I don't want to have to hurt you like
the others.

Now, why don't we go across the street
and get into your car and go someplace

where we can be alone?

Excuse me, Father.

Can you help us?

Do you recognize this man?

Why, yes. That's our caretaker. You'll
find his quarters right at the end of

building and upstairs.

Thank you, Father.

You're welcome.

Williams! Open up! Police!

Look at this.

He'd get the log of his attack.

It's all here. Names, dates, the whole
mess.

Let's call detectives. Get this place
dusted.

Romano! It's all right, ladies.

It's all over.

You can get out of the bus now.

Oh, thank you, officer.

I'm sorry, I... Yeah, ethics and
integrity are lovely words.

But they never want anybody in Emmy,
right?

I want to apologize to you now.

And I'm going to apologize to you
tonight on the air.

Oh, I'm afraid I'm going to have to miss
it.

Like I say, I don't get Channel 6.

I just missed.

You buy again, Hooker.

I'm telling you.

Now is the time to trade.

Before your car gets a year older and
the new models come out.

Who is this guy?

Melvin?

He's a buddy of mine. Give you a square
deal. Who is he? What's he do? What's

his background?

Booker, you don't trust anybody.

You're just going to buy a car from the
guy, not marry him. I got more miles out

of my car than I did in my marriage. I
like to approach things from that

perspective. I'm going to tell him we're
coming over. What have you got to lose?

Is this stool taken?

It's a free country.

You really know how to make a girl feel
at home, Hunker.

White wine, or are you still living
dangerously?

If I had nothing more to prove, white
wine would be nice.

Jerry, white wine for the lady.

You know, I was a psychology major
before I went into journalism.

You would have made an interesting class
project.

Yeah.

Why'd you call me?

Romano heard your newscast.

He said you did what you said you were
going to do.

And you respect that so now we can be
buddies? Oh, no, no, I wouldn't quite go

that far.

I just thought somebody ought to
straighten out your perceptions of cops.

And you're the man to do that,
obviously.

Just don't come on with every story like
we're trying to steal our pensions.

You'll make a lot more friends.

Who does the sports on your newscast?

Chuck Murray.

Good guy. Used to do play -by -play.

Yeah.

Maybe I'll get my antenna fixed.

Tracy. Nice to see you. Hi.

It's all set.

What's all set?

I got Hooker lined up with a dude who's
going to give him the deal of a lifetime

on a new Porsche.

A Porsche? Mm -hmm. Well, maybe you
should wait. You might get a better deal

through the state.

Yeah. Yeah, we just did some story on a
guy who's selling stolen Porsches off a

lot on Maine.

Um, Delvin, Kelvin, um... Melvin?
