All language subtitles for T.J Hooker s02e04 Blind Justice

Thank you.

Well, these toast girls are hip. I
really dig those styles of wear.

And the southern girls, with the way
they talk, they knock me out when I'm

there.

The Midwest farmers' daughters, well,
they all make you feel all right.

And the northern girls, with the way
they kiss, they keep their boyfriends

at night.

Oh, wish they all could be California.

Oh, wish they all could be California.
Oh, wish they all could be

California.

Like Jell -O on Springs. I mean, there
is something

about California girls. Music you've
ever heard one.

Oh, come on. No, I'm serious here.

I have never seen such.

Beautiful creatures in all my life.
Listen, check it out, girls. I like you.

You're going to spend the rest of our
lunch hour shopping.

What I'm going to do, Hooker, is take
the plunge. The plunge?

Hooker, the streets of South Philly are
behind me.

I'm going to become a total Californian.

I think I'll even buy a surfboard.

You been watching those late -night
Beach Blanket movies again?

Yeah, well, they are classics, you know.

Right up there with Casablanca and
Citizen Kane.

You know, you saw me on this, though. I
mean, sand, sun, surfboards.

That's it, Hooker. I'm a convert.

South Philly's gonna be in mourning.

Romano.

Romano! Huh?

If you want to buy a board, you ought to
take a long, hard look at one of these.

A tanker?

My research says time has passed this
one by. Ah, it's a pioneer board.

You buy one of these, you catch a curl,
stand tall, hang ten, before that triple

thrusher there gets off the tide.

I don't know so much about this stuff.

Oh, a cop.

Fix up things.

Hear me?

Come on.

Okay, just keep still like a good little
girl. Take the money. Don't hurt me,

please. Open the box.

Come on.

Doing your grocery list?

I'm making a list of all the Beach Boy
albums I'm going to buy.

And hey, I just found out the Beach Boys
are doing a concert at the Amphitheater

next week. I got a flash for you. The
concert's sold out.

What? It can't be.

It's part of my education.

There's some things you're not going to
get a degree in, kid.

I've got to get a ticket, and I will
believe it.

All units and 4 Adam 30, a 211 silent at
the theater box office, 810 Broadmoor.

4 Adam 30, handle code 3.

Sounds like a box office heist. Yeah.

4 Adam 30, roger.

Get the money in a sack.

Move it. All right, come on. Get it
done. I want it all.

Get the money in. Get out.

Hey, just a minute. Come on, come on.
Come on, move, move, move, move.

Hey, you just stay right there,
sweetheart. I'll blow your damn head

right, we got it. Let's go.

You just had to do it, didn't you? You
just had to do it.

Adam 30 in pursuit. He's found on Center
Street from Placer Avenue. Two 11

suspects driving a blue Ford van.
Lighten 217. Call Charlie Edwards.

All units, all frequencies, stand by.
Four Adam 30 is in pursuit.

This guy's got a death wish.

Then goodbye.

For now.

I

was

passing on my way into the precinct.

Cashier took a bullet.

We're not sure how bad she is yet.

Any witnesses?

Well, the assistant manager, but they
thumped him from behind. He didn't see a

thing. Any count on the take, Captain?

Well, they hit it just right. He called
it a season, $8 ,000, and we're left

with nothing for suspects.

What about that young lady?

Miss Perry.

Ann Perry. Nobody's had a chance to
question her yet.

Attendants are treating her. She caught
some concrete when a slug hit the wall

near her head.

I'll give it a try.

Miss Perry, I'm Sergeant Hooker.

Are the robbers in custody, Sergeant?
I'm afraid not. We lost them in traffic.

You mean you have no idea who they are?

All we've got is a lot of vague
descriptions.

We were hoping you could come up with
something.

No, I'm sorry, I can't.

Oh, Miss Perry, you were within 20 feet
of that van. They must have run right

past you.

Yes, and they shot at me.

Please try and remember.

I don't have anything to remember. I
didn't see anything.

You must have seen something. I didn't
see anything, Sergeant.

I'm blind.

Now, if you'll please excuse me. I'm
really sorry.

I didn't know this.

Blind.

And I was so sure we had a witness.

I'm not so sure we don't.

All

right,

hand by your back.

Hand -to -hand combat.

It's okay if you're doing a martial art
movie.

If you know your stuff, it works.

If you don't, and there are three
suspects, I suggest you consider taking

back and drawing a revolver.

All right, tomorrow we'll work on
escalation, de -escalation, decision

based on your newfound physical skills.
That's it. Go on, move it.

Wait till they find out the job's 90 %
paperwork.

Speaking of which, anything come in the
211 van yet?

Been reported stolen from a church group
an hour after the robbery.

Not turned up yet. What about the
cashier?

Her name's Lori Weber. She just got out
of surgery. She's traumatized and can't

remember one thing about the robbery.

And all we got left is Ann Perry.

I read your report, Hooker. You have
some concerns about the blind witness?

I think she's holding something back.
Like?

I checked her out.

She teaches sensory awareness to blind
kids. Well, that doesn't necessarily

she can tell us anything, Hooker.

My gut says she can.

Well, now, look, tread easy.

We don't need those kind of complaints.

We also don't need any more young girls
catching 45 slugs. I think Ann Perry

needs a push.

All right.

See what you can find out, but between
calls, Hooker? I wouldn't have it any

other way.

I don't know why I ever worked for a tie
-cracker like you.

There's 50.

And, uh, five for the sub.

Now, why don't you just take it and
crawl in the corner and croak or

all right? Huh?

I'm listening to the news, and I've been
checking all the newspapers.

The cops haven't put out a description
on us.

That's just a way of protecting the
witness.

She saw us all right.

First job out here, we get eyeballed.

She's all that's between us and the
slammer.

Joe, we got to get out of here. No. No
way.

Our box office idea is too good.

And we're going nowhere until we take
off the big one.

Concert this Saturday.

What about the lady?

We're going to find her.

We're going to find her before the cops
find us.

Then there won't be nothing for us to
worry about, will there?

What do you think?

Okay.

Glenn, may I have the conch shell,
please?

Now, as Glenn passes this shell around
and you feel it, I'm going to be asking

you some questions.

Paco, does this conch feel like your new
kitten?

No, my kitty's soft.

That's right. Her fur is soft and thick
to keep her cool during the day.

just as the conch has a strong thick
shell to keep it safe at the bottom of

ocean where it lives.

Sarah, does this conch have long or
short wings?

That's right.

No, it does not have wings. No wings,
but the gulls we hear flying above us

Now, just as these animals depend upon
their fur and their wings and their

shells to help them live where they do,
we depend upon our...

feet and our hands and our ears and our
noses to help us live where we do.

So then... Now, Glenn is going to hand
out some buckets and we're going to go

a shell hunt.

Sergeant Hooker.

We recognize you.

I remembered your cologne from the other
day.

And you're not alone.

No, I brought my partner with me.

I'm Vince Romano. Please meet me.

Oh, it's Anne.

And you're from South Philadelphia,
aren't you?

Yeah. Yeah, how could you tell? I went
to school outside Philadelphia.

And here I've been working on my accent
ever since I've been out here.

Linguistics was my passion in college.

And now it's children.

Yes.

Could I impose upon the two of you to
meet them?

I got a better idea. What about Romano
taking over the classroom?

For a lecture on law enforcement and
action. Oh, that would be great.

Absolutely. I can talk about my job for
hours. Ten minutes will do, I'm sure.

And you and I can talk about crime in
the street.

You detected my cologne.

You pinpointed Romano's hometown.

You teach those kids to feel.

Sense things and be aware of so much.

I just can't accept an answer from you.

You're so sure of yourself, aren't you?
So tuned into everything?

Yeah, I feel things.

And my senses are tuned in.

From experience.

I feel for that young girl who got shot.

That's why I can't bet up on you. Don't
you understand?

No, you don't understand.

What it's like to be blind?

I can look at the sun and see its fire,
the power of the surf, seagulls flying

overhead.

And I can tell you about it from one
perception of mine.

If you add that with your perceptions,
you have a whole lot more, and that more

is what I need.

What we're talking about has nothing at
all to do with the beauty of

interpreting nature.

It has to do with those animals at the
theater.

Look, last week, a friend drove me to a
conference downtown.

She went to park the car and I went into
the building.

Alone. She was delayed and I was late.

And so I asked somebody to assist me
into the elevator and push the floor

button.

I'm riding up alone.

I think when suddenly somebody whispers
something filthy in my ear.

Touches me.

A simple trip for you.

And a nightmare for me.

And that's what being blind can be like,
too.

Yeah, but I'm not a stranger.

I'm only asking you to give me what you
can.

An accent, a speech impediment,
anything, anything at all.

Hooker, please.

You're frightened.

I want you to help me.

I'll help you.

No.

You'll go on with another crime.

And I'll be back in the elevator.

Now, please, Sergeant, I really must get
back to my children. Ann, somewhere,

somewhere between us, there's got to be
a compromise.

Hooker, out of that car. They found the
stolen van dumped in a used car lot.

Got one partial print, but nothing they
cannot read.

Anything from Anne Perry?

Nothing.

I heard her.

Well, what do you think?

A costume party.

You're going as a Malibu reject.

Frankie Avalon live.

Ha ha. Very funny. You guys are a rhyme.

Since none of my good friends will
extend themselves to help me get into

Beach Boys concert...

This attire, which neither of you
appreciate, is going to attract a ticket

me. How's that work?

Simple.

I hang around the amphitheater tonight.

Ticket scalpers come flocking.

You pay a scalper's price to get in.

To see and hear the Beach Boys, you got
it, sweetheart. I'd pay double the face

value.

Like, take who, fool, did you know?

Hubba hubba.

Push it up.

Push it up.

Come on, give me another one, Mama. Push
it up. Come on, one more. Push it up.

Good work.

They got a half -decent box office to
hold us till the concert opened the

matinee.

I thought we was going to take off the
lady who eyeballed us first. We are.

The way I figure we find her is we go
back to that theater about the same time

of day we took off the box office.

And just wait for the bus.

Yeah. Then we follow her home.

That was about three o 'clock.

We hit here at noon.

Then we do the lady.

14 South Beechwood, handle code 3.

4 Adam 30 Roger.

No leads, no witnesses.

There's no doubt in my mind who's
responsible.

There's a pattern now, Hooker. Box
offices.

And our friends just graduated to the A
-list.

Murder.

Let's go. I want to talk to Ann Perry
again. She gets off her bus in ten

minutes.

How would you like a police escort?

That's all for my dad all day.

I'm late and a friend's going to take me
downtown. I've got to talk to the

committee again about integrating blind
children into the private world.

Here.

You're going to get me there so much
faster. Well, I always knew I'd be of

service somehow.

Thank you.

Well, then, ain't she cozy with the
cops?

Bye -bye. Thank you.

Well, here I am again, Ann.

Asking for help, only this time. The
man's dead.

Okay, why do you insist on believing
that I have the courage to be involved

this?

Because I'm impressed.

Amazed, really, at the way you handle
the kids at the Institute.

The way you live your life so
independently.

Right, we're in your place.

I don't think I could handle the things
that you do.

You just won't take any kind of no I
give you, will you?

Ann, there are two animals out there.

More and more of them are getting the
idea that they're immune.

Free to take whatever they want.

I need some kind of lead, some kind of
evidence.

Do something about them.

Because if I stop trying, the community
belongs to them.

Not to you. Not to me.

But to them.

All right, Hooker.

With just this much.

There were two of them. One black, one
white.

How do you know?

I'm a linguist, remember?

And there's my ride.

Oh, boy, are we late.

I'll be right there, Mrs. Johnson. I am
really late. Please.

What else did you hear?

What about a regional accent?

The white one. I'm pretty sure it's from
the southwest. Probably Oklahoma.

And his friend is from the south.

Maybe Louisiana.

You're terrific.

What else? Think hard.

There must be more.

Hooker, I am not involved and I am late.

Anne, please.

This is important.

You must tell me everything.

Look, where I'm going is important, too.
This meeting tonight is the result of a

two -year uphill battle for those
children. If I am ten minutes late,

scratch me from the agenda, and it'll
take me at least three months to get

on. What time will you be back?

You are pushy.

By eight.

I'll be here.

A bottle of champagne to celebrate.

After I've picked your brain.

where she lives.

And we'll be back.

delivery, man.

Might as well come on out now.

It don't matter, baby.

As a matter of fact, this might make it
a little more fun.

Hey, look at this.

A blind cane.

Hell, this lady can't do us no harm.

She's a blind.

Ann, it's Poker. Are you in there?

so

think that's them.

Stay right here.

Hooker, 18 years ago, my father's
drugstore was burned because he refused

protection money.

We lived above the store, and the stairs
collapsed while my parents were trying

to carry me out of the fire. You don't
have to tell me any of this.

My mother, she died in that fire,
Hooker, and I suffered optic nerve

Those flames were the last thing that I
ever saw.

Before the fire, my father told the
police everything that he knew.

Names and descriptions, but nobody was
ever arrested.

And he died two years later.

And on his deathbed, he said to me that

he should have paid the protection
money.

I'm really sorry I pushed as hard as I
did.

I should have stayed and I should have
told you everything.

Everything that I knew.

And you heard only one name used?

It was Bobby Joe. That was the
Caucasian's name.

Nothing on the other guy?

Except the odor.

I recognized the smell from the theater
robbery. It was liniment, like athletes

use. Anything else?

Boots.

Small Caucasian wore high -heeled boots.

Probably Western.

I'll get this on the wire.

It's going to be all right, Ann.

I've arranged for room for you.

And a 24 -hour guard until we nail these
guys.

But when they discovered I was blind, I
heard them say that I couldn't be a

threat to them.

Well, you are.

You can put the two of them in the
theater.

Ballistics can tie the bullet from Lori
Webber's wound to the roller dome

killing. You're the key to their
conviction.

4W and ID on task one. Four out of 30.

Go, Stacy.

Telex just in from Oklahoma, Romano.
They have one of the suspects ID'd

the partial print.

Bobby Joe Nash, two -time loser,
bartender by trade.

Affects Western attire.

Stacy, have they telephoned to the
mugshot of them? Should be here within

hour. Thanks, Stacy. That's a roger.

We're starting to cook, Junior. Next
stop, bartender's union.

the owner of the bar terry megan i got a
picture here i'd like to take a look at

union tells me he works here now listen
megan without even looking i

know that girl in the corner there is
underage i'll just bet there are a

of whiskey bottles in the trash that
haven't been broken so you could do some

whiskey watering i just guessed the
alcoholic beverage control boys could

that to assorted other offenses and come
up with a three -month closure Name's

Bobby Joe Nash.

I know that.

Where can I find him?

I don't know. He stopped working for me
a couple of weeks ago.

Where does he live?

I don't know.

Gypsy.

He's got a partner. Tell me about him.

Black guy.

One of those muscle freaks.

Bodybuilder. Ants know liniment.

Yeah.

Does he have a name?

Luther.

Something. I don't remember.

Where can I find him?

This boomerang's undead, you know that.
Come on, Megan.

Where?

Works at the weight pen on a muscle
beach.

There's a lot of people in the box.

Put this on after I do the damage.

Oh, it's them, all right. The mentors of
their crimes.

The question is, what's their next hit?
Beach Boys concert.

Next performance began ten minutes ago.

Y 'all gonna sing with us on this one
too?

Fire Department at the amphitheater.
Possible structured fire.

Stop! Go!

Come on!

Can't let him get into the concert.

We'll lose him in there.

You okay?

What could be wrong?

Working the music like that.

Oh, yeah, it's easy for you to say. I'm
the one who's missing the concert.

Yeah, I've been thinking about that,
Junior.

And I just might have to pull the
strings to make your California

complete.

I guess this is what's known as hucker
magic.

How do you have a ticket to a sold -out
concert?

No, I can't believe it. How'd you do it,
Booker? Let's just say...

I called some friends.

Let's go to the concert.

It

doesn't

end. The A section of the concert. Hey,
Stacey.

Unless you're dating teenyboppers, I
guess you got stood up, huh?

No way, Ramona. I'm with my favorite
man.

I'm with my favorite girl.

He's an old serpent buddy from Malibu.
Now he's one of the LCPD's finest.

Sergeant T .J. Hooker.

And with him, his partner, Officer Vince
Romano.

That's me.

We used to call Hooker the Big Kahuna.

The Big Kahuna?

Wax your board and get into your
wetsuit.

And after the concert, I'll give you a
few tips on how to make that slush just

safe.

For you, Hooker.

Thank you.
