All language subtitles for T.J Hooker s02e16 Vengeance is Mine

King 10, this is 4 King 22.

Here we go again, Lieutenant. Second
time I've tailed him past this

Stay with him, O 'Brien. We'll continue
to parallel you.

Well, what do you think, Hooker? We got
a bad tip?

Nah, they're itching to keep it.

It's just a matter of feeling right
about the place they've picked.

I tell you, working with this guy all
those years, Romano, he's got instincts

that won't quit.

Yeah?

Too bad his instincts don't extend to
banking.

Oh, really?

Financial problems, Hooker? I ran out of
checks.

Can't seem to get any more.

Computer lost a deposit of mine.

I keep getting the statements of T .R.
Booker. He probably gets mine.

If you banked at Ascot Savings, you
would get dynamite service, Hooker. I'd

to that personally.

Her name is Crystal.

Or King 10, this is King 22.

Looks like they're making their move.
They're in the alley behind the ringside

liquor store.

I'll eyeball the front.

King 23 takes the north end of the
alley. We can hold down the south end.

King 23, this is King 10.

You've got the north end of the alley.
I'll stay with the command post in the

black and white.

Robbery confirmed.

Suspects have the money. They're coming
out the back.

King 43, it's a go. Repeat, it's a go.

almost had me.

I owe you one, Hooker.

I recall saying the same thing to you 17
years ago.

And with your retirement coming up, I
didn't think I'd get a chance to get

either.

Okay.

Breathe.

And down.

Thank you, everybody.

See you all tomorrow.

Hey.

That's working out.

Thanks. How about you and me getting
together for that dinner I've been

about? Oh, thanks anyway, Larry, but I'm
really tied up, okay?

Sure. Some other time.

Right. Bye.

Don't scream again or you'll never
finish it.

Sweet Val.

Sweet, sweet Val.

That same way we took down the Mosley
brothers.

No kidding.

That collar's a legend in the police
department.

I didn't know it was you two who took
down the Mosleys. Neither did they. I

thought it was too late.

Units in the vicinity and 4 Adam 16.

A possible rape just occurred in the
underground garage.

1705 West Van Buren. 4 Adam 16. Handle
code 3. That's our area.

What the hell, Lieutenant?

Oh, daughter of Bono.

Excuse me.

Valerie.

It's me, Hooker.

What the hell, honey?

Daddy.

Daddy. Oh, sweetheart.

Daddy. Who did this to you?

Come on.

They'll take her to the hospital. She'll
be okay.

Get her to the hospital. Roll.

We have a witness.

Oh.

You're right about.

I'll keep you filled in.

She's all I've got, Hooker.

This was 20 feet from the suspect.

Black clothes, black mask gloves.

Something shiny in his hand.

Not much to go on.

Which means we're going to have to count
on the victim to nail him.

Dr. Kaufman, telephone please.

Dr. Kaufman?

How's Beth?

I can't get any answers.

She's sedated, that's all they tell me.

Except wait.

Don't pull us all together despite
what's happened.

I asked a professional from the Rape
Crisis Center to come down. And Paul,

captain has authorized me to take Val's
statement.

You don't have any other evidence?

All the witness saw was a man dressed in
black with something shiny in his hand.

Telephone.

born here in this hospital.

I brought you and Sharon here in a black
and white, remember?

I'll never forget that night as long as
I live.

I was ten feet off the ground.

I was handing out cigars to everybody.

In pain.

Physically, she'll be okay.

But her emotional state is a little
shaky.

Five minutes, Lieutenant, okay? Okay.

Yeah,

she'll be all right.

Daddy.

I tried to stop him.

He wouldn't. I know. It's all right.
It's all right, baby.

Oh, God.

I feel so violated and empty.

So dirty.

Val.

We still have to find him.

Black clothing.

And a chrome automatic that he held
against my head.

He was wearing a mask.

Black.

But it was more than a mask. It was like
a hood.

Like a black hood.

you know the suspect?

I recognized his voice.

He's a member of the health club, an
attorney, I think.

How long have you known him?

What are you thinking? I didn't do
anything. He's a member of the club. He

me out and I turned him down. I didn't
do anything. Baby, baby.

Honey, it's all right. I meant nothing
by the question.

I swear it.

I promise.

How's the practice of law treating you,
lady?

Sweet. How are you?

Fine, Sergeant. Thank you. That attorney
over there, is that Lawrence Foster?

Yes, that's him.

Thank you.

Excuse me, Mr. Foster.

Yes, what is it? I'm Sergeant Hooker.
Your client's going to need a new

attorney.

You're going to jail.

Really? The rape of Valerie McGuire.

Sergeant, you're taking a dangerous step
towards some very serious litigation

here. I think you better ask yourself,
do I look like a rapist? You tell me

a rapist looks like.

And I'll show you what a cop's daughter
looks like after she's been raped.

Suspect number one, repeat after me.

Val, sweet Val, sweet, sweet Val. Val,
sweet Val, sweet, sweet

Val.

It's through the mask.

Are you sure I'm close enough?

Suspect number two, repeat the same
phrase.

Val, sweet Val, sweet, sweet Val.

Number three, repeat the same phrase.

Val.

Sweet Val.

Sweet, sweet Val.

I think that's him.

Are you sure?

Pretty sure.

Are you positive?

She said it was him.

Lieutenant, I don't want to have to ask
you to leave.

Now, do you want to hear the fourth one,
Miss McGuire?

No. At first I thought it was number
one, but the last one sounded like Larry

Foster.

I'm almost positive.

Almost, but not quite.

What do you want, Tyler?

You can dismiss the prisoners.

That'll be all.

He did that, Tyler. Not us. He took off
his own mask.

McGuire's right.

Val said it was Foster before he took
off the mask.

It's him.

What's wrong with you? It is him.

Chuck, it's a lawyer's trick.

You both know the charging standards of
the DA's office.

Now, ignoring the lawyer's trick,
there's nothing to corroborate the voice

identification, and the lady wasn't
positive.

But she was.

Not beyond a reasonable doubt,
Lieutenant. I'm sorry.

Chuck, come on.

She said she knew it was Foster.

I heard what she said. I heard her
doubts.

It's just not enough.

Now, you have to come up with some form
of corroboration for us to prosecute.

Until then, I'll have to order Mr.

Foster's release.

Paul, listen to me. I knew this was
going to happen. Why should it be

for my kid? Paul, listen.

I'll dig. I'll plant myself on Foster
and turn up the corroboration we need.

Another promise, Hooker?

No. We all know how the law works these
days. It's time we stop fooling

ourselves. Maybe time for me to take
matters into my own hands.

It just doesn't seem right that sicko
Foster could walk right out of here. It

isn't, and it's up to us to change it
around.

How? The DA's already ruled.

The door is still open.

Foster is twisted and manipulative. That
says to me that Val McGuire isn't a

first.

The reason you asked for his NCIC
background file.

You bet.

Hey, that's my car.

Hey, you, stop!

Hey, that truck is throwing away my car!

Why didn't you stop that truck? I tried
to, Hooker, but they had papers. It's

being repossessed.

But I only had one payment left on my
loan. I sent in a check for last month's

payment. You can't do this to me! They
can if you're with the wrong bank.

With Crystal, this never would have
happened.

Crystal? I don't care. I don't care how
many times you check the building. I

want every apartment door knocked on
until every resident has been

Paul.

You have a package there that I asked
Stacy to run down for me? It's out of

bailiwick now, Hooker. Maybe.

But it's not in yours. Hey, I'm in
charge of detectives.

Then take yourself off the case. Booker,
I'm a father trying to protect

daughters like yours.

And I'm a friend trying to protect you
from yourself.

You're up to your armpits in a motion.

You're about to put everything you've
worked for on the line. What I'm putting

on the line, Sergeant, is my affair.

And you, Officer Sheridan, I expect you
to follow my orders without discussing

them with everyone in the station.

Is that understood?

Is there a problem, Lieutenant?

No, there's no problem.

I'm just conducting an investigation.

I don't want to be interfered with.

Well, it's going to happen in this case,
McGuire. I want you to stay clear of

it. This character, Foster, plays the
law like a violin, and he'll be all over

this department if you harass him. Don't
throw the law up to me, Captain.

I've worked my whole life for the law.
Now when I need help, I can't get it

because of scum like Foster punching so
many holes through it.

Come on, Paul. You've worked these kind
of cases before. Yeah, yeah, I've worked

them before.

Yeah, here.

Here's your precious research hooker.
Take a look. Look at this. Here.

been there before. New York, Washington,
D .C., Baltimore.

Picked up for rape release.

Insufficient evidence.

That's what I figured. It's a beginning.
No.

No, it's further evidence that an animal
like Foster can do whatever he wants,

whenever he wants, and gets away with
it. But, Paul, give me some time.

I've got a theory that... No.

You've had your turn, Hooker.

Now it's mine.

This is going to prey on your mind.

Until you hear a jury say that he's
guilty.

And then you'll be free of him.

I'm going to be going out for a while.

I've got a lead I have to follow
through.

I know this is tough for you.

But I'm going to find a way to work it
out.

I promise you.

The legal theory is solid.

Now what I need is a victim on you to go
with him.

How?

Those other rapes were all out of state.

M .O., Junior, that spells pattern,
which spells the ability to develop

cumulative evidence, something to back
up Val's voice -only identification.

And that backup means finding a prior
rape victim. Let's keep digging.

Maybe tomorrow we can bring the Maguires
some good news for a change.

You mean repair a strained friendship?

Long worth repairing.

What do you mean I should be more
responsible?

Some pea brain in your bank pushes the
wrong computer button and wipes me out.

My car's been repoed.

Oh, you're the woman who takes care of
the computer.

Well, if the shoe fits... Hello?

Hello?

Good news.

On the prior rape... victims one from
baltimore a lady lawyer she lives here

we don't have an address but the name
might sound familiar marcy wade public

defender very nice of it our cumulative
case is beginning to cook you

Don't scream again or you'll never
finish.

You know what I mean, sweetheart?

Sweet, sweetheart.

Units in the vicinity and 4 Adam 30. A
woman screaming.

Possible assault in progress at Glen
Park Plaza.

Subterranean parking level 2.

4 Adam 30. Handle code 3.

This wait is going to have to wait.

4 items, 30 roger.

That girl over there, she's just been
raped. The guy in some kind of black

he just took those stairs.

Handle the girl.

Good time, maggot. You stay inside.

Here's your case, Chuck.

Taylor's back in jail.

New victim is in the hospital.

I interviewed her. He asked her to
dinner 15 minutes before he attacked

turned him down.

She can voice ID him.

And she's willing to testify.

It's still a voice ID.

But I have to admit, it's starting to
come together, isn't it, Hooker?

NCISC turned up three other rape cases,
New York, Baltimore, Washington, D .C.

Same M .O. was used, and one of the
victims lives here now.

Sounds like we're putting together a
pretty good cumulative package.

Everything fits except this.

The one time he's actually caught near
the scene of the crime, the M .O. is

different. He's using a knife instead of
a gun, which makes it a little shaky.

Oh, sorry.

Didn't mean to interrupt.

Lieutenant McGuire asked me to come down
and file Valerie's case. We found the

evidence to corroborate her voice ID.
Evidence? What evidence?

Witness found it at the original scene.

Registered to foster.

Maybe that explains the change in M .O.,
Hooker.

I'm not sure what it explains.

What's up?

My back, Paul.

You're my friend.

And I'd like to save you from a lot of
grief.

But you just screwed up a chance for the
DA to file on Foster.

Maybe you haven't heard.

I got Foster cold.

No, Paul.

I had Foster cold this afternoon.

Same M .O.

Another voice I .D.

And I was headed for the stretch with a
case.

When you said it all back again, he
could be cut loose. Cut loose?

I tell you Foster is dead in the water.

I sent O 'Brien to the DA's office a
couple of hours ago with a piece of

evidence that's going to bury Foster.

Yeah, I know. I was there.

I brought this back.

Because the only person it could bury is
you.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about planted evidence.

I'm talking about Foster pulling every
legal string in town to rid out of jail.

Because you contaminated a case that was
starting to look pretty damn good. What

are you saying, contaminated?

You broke into Foster's apartment,
didn't you?

You had to.

Because I searched that garage.

And it was clean.

So you missed the gun. You're not
perfect, Hooker. You're using one of

men to build a house of cards that's
going to come down on you.

All right.

Now listen.

If you say that you could have missed
the gun in that garage, it'll work,

Hooker. We can make it work.

You know that?

It's the only way, Hooker. The guy's got
to be punished.

No, Paul.

The case I had going is the only way.

No, you're wrong.

They wouldn't have filed without that
gun, without that kind of evidence, and

you know it.

What have you got?

You got another voice ID.

You just said it yourself.

Foster's pushing for another writ, and
he'll walk away, Hooker. He'll walk away

again. Yeah, he might.

If you don't turn it around.

And if he does...

You have yourself to thank for it.

This is wrong, Paul.

Dead wrong.

Everything you're doing is getting in my
way, hooker.

You're pushing your luck, Paul.

Bailiff said you wanted to see me,
Sergeant. Yes, about the same man that

were looking for in here the other day,
Lawrence Foster.

I'm sorry, I can't help you.

We're building a case against him, Miss
Wade.

We need your help.

What kind of case?

Same as yours in Baltimore.

Rape.

I tried to prosecute them, but all I had
was a voice identification.

Not enough for a judge and a jury.

I moved out here from Baltimore to start
a new life and a new career.

And then Foster shows up here two months
ago.

I can tell you one thing.

This time I do not intend to run away.

He says you had a case against him.

Anything solid?

Well, it was solid until now.

Good cop went sour.

I have to rehabilitate the case with the
DA.

If we could get somebody like you, an
officer of the court, to help build a

cumulative case against him, we just
might be able to put Foster away.

What about him, R .C.? Will you help us?

You don't have to tell me what the boss
is getting away with.

Captain, I'm asking you to listen to me.
Look, I'm through listening to you.

I've given you every possible chance,
and you've left me no alternative but to

step in.

Well, here's my old friend, Hooker.

Why?

Why'd you have to burn me, Hooker?

What are you talking about? Come on. You
know damn good and well what I'm

talking about.

Hooker had nothing to do with this.

The D .A. called, concerned about where
the case was headed after Hooker and O

'Brien left his office yesterday.

He's also concerned about a release writ
that Foster is processing, alleging

false evidence.

Now, you black bag, Foster's apartment.

You stole this gun, you planted it, you
made up these phony records.

Now, I don't need anyone to show me the
trail of evidence in and out of the

property room to smell out your
misconduct for myself.

I'm sorry, Paul.

But you forced me to take away your
badge and your gun until a board of

convenes to determine your fitness to
remain a police officer.

And with the kind of support I can
offer, the DA's office will have two

cases against Foster.

The flight of Lieutenant McGuire's
attempt at planting false evidence.

My father just wasn't himself, Mr.
Tyler.

I wish I would have understood that
sooner.

Chuck, the department is taking formal
disciplinary action against Lieutenant

McGuire.

What about you, Miss Armstrong?

Oh, you bet I'll testify.

Sounds to me like the case has been
rehabilitated.

What about it, Chuck?

I think we have a conviction in our
pocket.

Where's the rest?

Open up, officer.

Come on, open up. I haven't got all day.
I'm taking the prisoner to be

arraigned. Lieutenant, I don't have a
notice of transfer. I can't be

for every breakdown of communication.

Let me in there.

Look, why don't I just call the captain?
No, no, no. The captain's not in. If I

don't have this man in front of the
judge in 22 minutes, he's going to walk.

Come on, open it up.

You're going downtown to be arraigned.
Arraigned? There's no felony arraignment

after 3 o 'clock. Lieutenant Hito.

Put these on.

Quick.

Come on.

Step inside.

I'm not going anywhere with you. Try to
get away from me and I'll blow your

rotten head off.

Stop him! He's kidnapping a prisoner!
Stop him!

Don't do it!

You're crazy. You're never going to get
away with this. Why not? You got away

with raping my daughter.

Your daughter? Yeah, my daughter. That's
why you're so special to me. That's why

I picked a special place for you to die.

Paul.

Don't try to stop me, Hooker. Oh, for
God's sake, listen to me. I'm listening

up.

I talked to the DA.

He feels there's enough.

Paul, no.

Get on the horse. Tell him what's going
down.

And tell them those shots are to be
fired.

Don't put too much hope in it being
saved.

It catches as you die now.

Come on, get out of there.

Come on!

Hurry up!

Paul! Stay away, Hooker!

Paul, don't destroy everything you've
ever worked for. I think it was worth

Stop him, Hooker! Shut up, you slime!

You wouldn't.

Don't make me find out.

Come on.

Come on. Let me hear you beg.

Beg. Like I made those women beg.

Like I made my daughter beg.

Beg. You're pushing me, Hooker.

I guess we're both going to have to find
out.

I'm your friend, Paul.

But I'm not going to make it easy on
you.

He has to die, Hooker.

Put your gun away.

Don't make me take you down.

He has to die or there's no justice.
There is justice.

I talked to the DA.

He's going to file.

Press charges on accumulated evidence.
Get away from me, Hooker. Leave me

He's convinced enough to put him away
for good.

Hooker, it's not going to work. I don't
believe it.

Believe it.

I've never lied to you, Paul.

I'm not going to start now.

It's all over for Boston.

Hold still your gun.

Pull yourself together, damn it.

Decide who you're going to kill.

Strength runs in your family.

Hey, hang in there.

I'll be with you right to the end of the
trial.

I think maybe they're gonna love getting
a cop on the chopping block.

But I did cross the line, Hooker.

Thank God you were there to stop me.

Well, maturity weighs your years of
commitment against that animal who

your daughter.

Who knows what the verdict will be?

I'll leave you two to talk.

Something wrong, Romano?

No, not at all.

This just came for you.

It's your gift for opening your new bank
account.

Oh, it must be my clock radio.

You see, Hooker, it's like this.

The value of the gift is in accordance
with the amount of deposit that you put

in the bank.

They didn't have anything smaller.

Teddy bear.

I want a clock radio.

I'll take this up with Crystal. She's
handling my new account. I want the

radio. I've been wanting to talk to you
about that.

You see, Crystal doesn't work at the
bank anymore.

Romano.

Well, she got a better job.

This is a teddy bear. I'm a tough
policeman.

You want her to have a better job, don't
you?

Don't give me that stuff. This is a
teddy bear. I want a clock radio.

If you ever get to Vegas, Crystal says
she can get you great seats if you ever

want to see the Follies de Paris. You
know, woo -hoo. Romano!
