All language subtitles for T.J Hooker s04e01 Night Vigil

you

Look at those kids.

The sun is hardly up and they're already
headed off to catch some waves.

Don't you wish you were with them?

Oh, sure.

Wake up and get with them, partner. Life
is great.

Gee, I told maintenance to check that
slow leak.

We'll stop at a gas station.

Just coffee?

I don't know. I skipped breakfast.

You feel like a croissant this morning?

Watch your language.

Just coffee's fine.

Hi, Frank. How are you?

If they were, just cut it down.

Even off the back.

Call an ambulance and police.

Move!

Stacy, what happened here? Robert, she
has a .45 on me, and she just walked in

and cut it down.

I called for the ambulance.

4 Adam 30. Alert the hospital. They're
coming out.

Jim. Stacy.

Parameds are in there now. What about
the guy? I couldn't catch him.

Grace, the dad picked him up. He was
down the street when we got here. I got

plate. We just put it on the harm, but I
never saw the driver.

Did you get your father?

He'll meet you at the hospital.

The guy who shot her? Gone.

Whoever he is.

I won't.

in here, she said, life is great.

Mr. Hubbard, telephone, please.

Mr. Hubbard.

How is she?

There's a team of doctors working on
her. One of them is going to come out

talk to us.

I got a first description of the suspect
over the radio. There are two suspects

now. One who shot her and whoever's
driving the sedan.

How is your doctor? Critical.

Two problems we have to deal with.

Only one bullet hit her in the chest.

It's lucky she was wearing a bulletproof
vest or she'd be dead.

But the bullet is now lodged in the wall
of her heart.

What's the second one?

The bullet impact slammed her back
against something.

That resulted in brain concussion,
shock, and now coma.

And no question that we have to remove
that bullet from the peripartum, the

lining of the heart.

But we are afraid to do so until we can
stabilize their condition.

Doctor, I had a chance to think this
through while I was driving over here.

And if there are any decisions that I
have to make, I'd appreciate knowing it

soon as possible.

Dennis.

Yeah, it's funny.

It's funny how the mind works. I see her
like, you know, when she was about 11.

She broke her arm on the playground at
school.

You know, there was nobody around, so I
had to pick her up, take her in, have

the cast put on.

I remember her, you know, sitting...

Next thing in the car afterwards, I'm
thinking, uh... Such a hell of a

big cast.

And such a small kid.

Skip.

I want a 24 -hour guard around Stacy's
room. Nobody in, nobody out, unless

they've been cleared.

What about DMV on the gray sedan's
license plates?

Stolen off a VW six weeks ago out of
Eastside.

That blows our prime lead so far.

Okay, Corrigan.

Check robbery's M .O. bulletins for
anything that fits with what we've got.

Need a name for the scum who pulled the
trigger.

He's got a record.

He's got a pad.

He's got a name. Done.

Then I'm doing S .I .D. to help make up
an artist to catch a big guy.

They're also bringing in the man who
owns a sandwich shop.

The lab come up with anything we can
use?

Maybe. One of the slugs went into a wall
by the refrigerator.

The lab man who dug it out said that it
was armor piercing.

Cop killer.

That explains why the bullet went
through Stacy's vest.

Sure.

He capped off a few at me.

One of them went right through two sides
of a dumpster.

He put in an order for that animal.

He wanted to kill a cop. Yeah, and I
made it easier for him.

What are you talking about? I should
have gone into that shop with her.

Hey, Jim, you stop there every morning.
Yeah, we stopped there every morning and

only one of us went in. Sure.

But I forgot for just five minutes that
the uniform is a target no matter where

you go.

I forgot my partner is a target.

And I let her walk through that door
alone.

Those super slugs might work for us. A
lot of gun stores don't carry them. And

most of them that do are very careful
about who they sell them to.

I popped an armed robber out here a
couple of years ago who was carrying a

clips of armor -piercing bullets.

He never told me where he got them.

He live out this way?

No. He lives in San Quentin now. But his
girlfriend works out here, and she

scores on the street every morning.

And the license plate to that gray sedan
was grabbed out in this neighborhood.

There she is.

Hey, you! Wait a minute!

There's no way out, Major. We got you.

Come here. Come here.

Easy.

Easy. Easy.

Lady lost her purse. Get it.

I thought you were a friend of mine.

Well, I am a friend, but you're going to
need one.

How much grass do you get in here?

What grass can I afford?

Two joints. Two joints?

Two joints?

I want to talk to you about cop -killing
bullets, let you.

Where can I find some? I'm no snitch.
Tell your probation officer that if I

you for possession.

Now, on the other hand, you must get
awfully lonely for Roberto.

Maybe instead I could have him
transferred down to Chino.

Nice and close for you, let you.

You could do all that?

Sure.

Super slugs.

Lucky loans.

But the owner don't sell super slugs to
people he don't know.

Thanks, but... Hey.

What about my purse?

You'll need it to crack our home.

Can I help you people?

You certainly can, Buster. I haven't got
time to shuck and jam, so I'll cut

straight through.

Super slugs. Armor -piercing ammo.

Mean. What's that mean, Mamas?

If you're looking to buy, I consider
them a public menace. I don't have them.

Hey,

look, I'll be right back.

You know that guy?

He sure as hell knows you.

Just like you never laid eyes on the
black kid who ran out of here.

I've said that.

No, I never laid eyes on neither of them
before.

Sedan, the same one used in an earlier
incident in which Officer Stacy Sheridan

was shot.

You guys interested in buying something,
I give you my regular police discount.

20 up, 10 % off. Otherwise, you get out
of my store, you're bad for business.

Hey, man, keep your hands off me.
Booker, you can't do this. Not now,

No, you got no rights. What do you mean,
my rights?

I'm a police officer with a slug jammed
up against your heart. I don't want to

hear about your rights.

Think about it, Hooker. This may blow
our chances. And it isn't really going

help Stacy.

Super slugs.

The tips cannot be treated.

Just like the ones you sold that black
kid.

Just like the ones that that big guy
pumped into one of us this morning. No,

told you. Tell me the truth.

For the wall.

When did you sell the ammo?

Last night, but not to both of them. How
much did you sell? Two boxes, but just

to the black kid, just a toothpick.

Toothpick? Only name I ever heard, I
swear.

You sold the .45 to the big guy?

No, just to the black kid. I sold them
both .45s. Two .45s, no waiting period,

no ID check, no record clearance.

You're going to jail, gun dealer.

All right, you climbed all over him at
work.

No buts. It worked. That's all that
counts.

Look, so far, he's maybe got police
brutality.

You want to give him false arrest on
top?

Tattoos on your skull, both of you. I'll
walk over ten dirtbags like him if

that's what it takes to catch the punk
that shot Stacey. Okay, we're not

faulting you on that, but you book him
and you're putting everything on the

line. The case, your badge.

We eyeballed the second suspect. You've
got a street name, toothpaste.

We'll go from there. Let him walk.

That gun dealer spends the night in a
nice cold cell, and I hope the plumbing

doesn't work. And maybe it'll influence
him next time he gets the urge to sell a

gun to a cop killer.

Take him in.

Where are you going?

To the hospital.

What's going on here?

I walked in on Officer Sheridan and
she's alone.

I just stepped out for a moment. To do
what? To call your boyfriend?

Where's her father?

Dr. Coe is having the other team members
brief him on the situation.

What's the problem here? I just stepped
out to get her medication and this

gentleman seems to... Understood, Lee.
Go back to your patient.

Thank you. I don't care what she's
getting. I don't want Officer Sheridan

unattended.

They're monitoring devices which relate
instantly to this station. The slightest

change in her condition.

But I understand your concern, Sergeant
Hooker.

And I share it.

Is her condition deteriorating?

There's been some leakage of blood from
the pericardium or lining into the heart

proper.

If it continues, it impairs the heart
function.

And you can't cut the bullet out because
of a concussion or coma?

It's quite possible she won't survive
the operation.

Are you saying she'll die if you do and
die if you don't?

I'm sorry, but I guess that's what I'm
saying, Sergeant.

Hey, Rower, how's it going?

Fine.

Hey, I don't know that I know you, man.

Oh, it doesn't matter. Now, I'm looking
for Toothpick.

Sorry.

Hey, you the man, right?

Where are you supposed to know this
Toothpick from?

Oh, you and he worked for the street
prostitute at the bus station.

Used to meet late buses.

The prost would pick up a trick, take
him to the Hotel Clayton.

And you and Toothpick used to roll him.

Hey, that's a nice story, but I'm sorry,
man. I don't know no toothpicks. Oh,

sure you do.

Sure.

I want to know his real name, where he's
at.

Hey, I expect you think I'm somebody
else. You're the punk, all right.

We got four outstanding ones in you for
outstanding performance.

Assault, rape.

Not that I'm not glad to see it.

Well, what are you doing here?

You're not the only one checking the
moniker file tonight.

I also found out our friend Roller here
had an associate with just the street

name of Toothpick.

Hey, man.

All right, let's try again.

Toothpick, what's his real name? I never
knew it.

You ever try skating on water, you can
drown before you get your skates off.

Hook, lay off me.

Hey, man, I never knew it. I swear, I
never knew it.

He didn't want to be called number
Toothpick.

How'd you meet this Toothpick?

I never met him.

I just saw him hanging around the
schoolyard, you know, shooting baskets.

What school would that be, Ruler?

Oh, Carver High.

He was just talking. Yeah.

And you just struck up a French. Is that
it?

Get in.

Good bust.

Sure it's a good bust. Throw him off the
pier and what happens? I wasn't going

to take it that far. Yeah, but he didn't
know that. I know.

That sleaze gunrunner.

Is he enjoying his night in the can?

You're a dreamer.

Ten minutes after his lawyer reached the
city attorney's office, we got orders

to kick him loose.

Before the end of the watch, we got a
call from Internal Affairs.

Let me guess.

They'll be waiting for me in the
morning.

The bartender where Lecha Martinez works

said you chased her down and copped her
marijuana.

What'd you do with it?

I flushed it down a park toilet.

That was contraband.

And it was evidence in what could have
been a good arrest.

Leach had some seeds and some sticks and
a couple of joints.

No deputy DA in the city is going to go
to court over a couple of joints.

And it was a waste of time and taxpayer
money to cite or arrest her, and you

know it.

Maybe it was a waste of time because you
were in a hurry to get the lucky loans.

My information is that when you got
there, you beat the hell out of the gun

dealer. That isn't true. Then to cover
yourself, you had Officer Romano and

Corrigan take Robinson in on a
misdemeanor firearms charge. You really

that to stand up in court?

Hey, gentlemen, we seem to be on a
different wavelength here.

Robinson violated the law, and he was
arrested and booked.

You did hit him.

He swung at me, and I stopped him.

He also saw the bullets that took down a
police officer.

It doesn't bother you that Robinson's
attorney is filing a police brutality

false arrest suit against you and the
city, and that the deputy city attorney

says he can't prosecute because of your
illegal search and seizure? No, that

doesn't bother me.

And if the deputy CA wants to throw this
case out and let that sucker walk, I'll

open the door and kick him all the way
down to the bricks.

Because I already got what I want from
him.

Information that'll help me take down
the guy who shot Officer Sheridan.

And that's what's important to me.

Now, listen.

Give me a couple of days to wrap this
thing up.

And then I'll...

Come back and I'll face Robinson as
lawyer or whatever.

Maybe you should quit while you're
behind, Hooker. What's that mean?

It means it's official from downtown.
You're out of the investigation into the

assault on Stacy Sheridan.

From now on, it's out of your hands.
You're not to go near it.

You got a minute longer?

We may get around to you very soon,
Corrigan. We just got a report on the

you and Hooker put together last night.
I'll worry about that arrest later.

Look, there's some things you may not
understand about this case, about

He wasn't shy about explaining himself.
Sure, he's angry about what happened to

Stacy Sheridan. We all are.

But Hooker was more than just her
training officer.

He was there when she was born. He's
been like a godfather to Stacy ever

You're looking at 20 years now. That's
exactly what we're looking at, 20 years

down the drain.

Given his record, maybe it's inevitable.

Wait, given his record? Hey, listen.

The day you people can put together a
service record like Hooker's on...

Corrigan. I appreciate your input.

In other late news, policewoman Stacey
Sheridan, wounded in a beachside

convenience store holdup, remains in
guarded condition at community hospital.

There is still no clue as to the
identity of the bandits who gunned her

brutal fashion yesterday morning.

Great, he's back.

Beautiful. I was hoping you'd forget
where I live.

Trubina, look, we need him.

It used to be we just needed each other.

Okay.

Well, did you see something you like?

Yeah. Jewelry toward the marina.

Come on.

How about Chinese food?

Good idea.

That police woman's still alive.

Don't worry about it.

She'll be dead in a while.

Trust me.

Come

on,

let's pick it up. Come on.

Come on. It's the start of the practice.
Let's go.

Catches.

Hooker. Oh,

it's been a long time, Sergeant.

You're the coach here now?

And a member of the faculty.

Congratulations. You know, from that day
you busted me, I've been nothing but a

goal -oriented, upward, mobile,
dedicated dude.

Way to go, buddy.

I'm looking for a kid who might have
played here once.

Named Toothpick.

Hooker. He was a few years after me.

But he was a pretty fair ball player. I
remember him.

What's his real name?

You'll get right as crap.

Willie Joe Ellington Brown, the third.

Friend of yours?

Not long, he wasn't. That sucker ripped
off the silver medallions that the team

won for winning the league championship.

And then he hawked them.

Do you know where I might find him now?

No.

But if you do, you give him a fat lip
from me.

It'd be my pleasure.

What did you do, huh?

She do something.

Yeah, she made a funny move.

What were you up to, huh?

4 Adam 14 and any other unit able to
respond. A 211 silent at Dupree's

Carlisle and Coronado way. 4 Adam 14,
handle code 3.

4 Adam 14, roger.

Let's go.

Who hit you? Salt and pepper team. Grace
and Ann.

Driver's a black female.

Still don't call it out of the way
tonight.

Four out of fourteen.

Officer down.

Damn

it,

you fool. You shot another cop.

Ain't that great?

Chuck's gonna make it, Mitch. Take it
easy.

Sergeant comes right on top of Stacey
Sheridan in the end.

Scott would be the same guy who did them
both. No question. All right, you guys.

We'll use 4M30 as command post.
Valenzuela, you'll take all incoming

Drag all reports from parameter
positions and search units.

Hold on.

4M30.

4M16 and 4M12.

We found the gray sedan in the parking
lot and empty at Admiralty Way in Grove.

Looks like they switched vehicles.

Put a hole in the gray sedan, and you
guys get back here right away.

And tell 4 Adam 12 not to take a tow
until the lab boys get there.

That's a roger.

Trying real hard to make my day.

Sergeant Hooker, come.

Hooker, you were under a direct order to
stay away from this case.

Yeah, well, there was an officer down, a
wounded civilian. What did you expect

me to do when I got here? When you heard
the description of the Gray Sedan, you

should have... The Gray Sedan is in a
parking lot somewhere.

The big guy and his buddy are off and
running while you're standing... That's

enough, Hooker.

Lieutenant Banyan will take over the
command post.

There's no reason for you to remain on
the scene.

I telephone a friend of mine.

He gave me Toothpick's name. Willie Joe
Ellington Brown III.

A mouthful.

Does he have a record?

GTA assault, stat rate is expanding.

I'm meeting my friend at Sherry's bar.

Why don't the two of you drop in?

What's up?

Mitchell heard our black suspect yell to
the driver, move it, Jobina.

There's certainly a hundred million
girls with a name like Jobina.

That's for sure.

I'm going to drop by the hospital on my
way down.

If I'm delayed, why don't you two
introduce yourself?

His name is Cassius Isley.

Her condition is still unstable.

But there's a lessening of pressure,
however, and no sign of bleeding or

hemorrhaging in the brain.

What about the lining around her heart?

Blood is now starting to flow more
steadily and in larger amounts from the

pericardial sac into the heart proper.

You said that could be fatal. It will be
fatal if we don't operate.

I guess I've been hiding behind all this
medical terminology because I wasn't

anxious to tell you that.

I've scheduled her operation for five
this afternoon, with your permission.

You have it.

Four out of 30, meet four out of 16 on
tap two.

Roger, dispatch.

This is four out of 30, go 16.

We met with your friend, Cassius Isley.

He remembers a Jobina from the
neighborhood.

A looker.

And she was Toothpick's girlfriend in
school.

Name is Jobina Wright.

She was in the slammer on a drug bus,
but she's out on parole.

Do you have an address on her?

Living in the Mulberry Street
development.

Meet me there.

We're on our way.

West building, apartment 1305.

Hold it right there, Jovina.

Police! Toothpick! Give it up!

Stick with it.

All right, buddy, don't growl. I want
the big guy, and you're going to help me

find him.

No, you find him yourself, sucker.

Let go! Let go! Come here!

Come here!

Let go of me!

Now, where is he? I ain't telling you
nothing! For God's sake, you said you

wanted him alive!

They want you at the hospital, Hooker.

Stacy was conscious briefly.

She asked for you and just came over the
horn.

Okay, take him in. Jovina stays with me.

I'll handcuff her to the steering wheel
if I have to. Hey, Romano just stopped

you from hammering her boyfriend's
brains out. Think about it.

That turkey's not going to talk, but
Jovina might. Trouble is, you take her

some bail bondsman could have her kicked
loose before you finish writing the

arrest report.

Look, if you take her now, it's like
holding her incommunicado.

Corgan and I can hold both of them.

We're out for investigation at the
scene. We could even ask for a search

warrant. They gotta be here while we get
it.

And here while we search the place.

If you aren't careful, you two are gonna
be in as much trouble as I am.

Don't give me a hard time. I'll finish
the job that Hooker started, okay? Hey,

what the hell are you saying? Hey,

watch your mouth. That's right.

Hey, shut up, big mouth. You're the one
that got me into this mess.

A fighter like you.

You came kicking out of your mother's
womb.

I don't know. I was there.

Don't you remember what you used to tell
me?

When you were a little girl.

How the boogeyman would come in the
middle of the night.

And you'd throw him out on his head.

Because that's what I told you to do.

You're a fighter, Stacy.

She able to say anything to you, Hooker?

She tried to give me a description of
the suspect.

Four out of 30 ballistics reports a
match for... the slugs that wounded

jay mitchell at the marina jewelry store
heist and those that wounded officer

sheridan any further requests negative
show me off the air for investigation

the car. She stays with me.

Jobina, you roll over on me and I'll
come back watching, man. Let go of me,

Jobina. Don't get there.

You lay a hand on me and I'll scream
down the neighborhood.

I'm here to help you, not hurt you.

Sure you are.

You're in deep, Jobina.

Armed robbery, assault with intent to
kill a police officer.

You're looking at a lot of time.

That's heavy, huh?

Yeah, it's heavy.

You're a young woman now.

You're gonna be an old woman when you
come out.

An old woman.

With no figure.

Who spent most of her years in jail.

You've already hit one jail.

You're on parole.

You made me drive that car.

I may be, but it's not gonna help you
now.

What will?

A name. You mean that big white dude? I
don't know. That's good. Come on. I do

know something.

Sure you do.

The place where he and Toothpick meet is
a cafeteria.

Called what?

They met at a place called Anna's
downtown.

I'm going to stake it out. What about
us?

If I find them, you'll be the first to
know.

More coffee? You must be on your tenth
cup.

That big guy over there.

Does he come in here often?

Yeah, like every day.

Sometimes two, three times.

Alone?

Mostly. A couple of times a skinny black
dude joined him.

Big guy, dark hair, tan shirt, dark
pants. Just came in there. Is he

505. Why don't you do me a favor?

Call the academy precinct.

Tell them Sergeant Hooker needs backup.
Tell them to send 4 Adam 16.

4 Adam 16. Is there a freight elevator
in the back?

No, just stairs.

Yep.

Good morning.

Glad you're still here.

Where's Dad?

We just brought you up from post
-operative.

He's downstairs talking to the doctors
who worked on you.

I remember some of that.

Not much.

Came out beautifully.

Wouldn't lie to him.

Never.

Like you always said.

Cops have tough hides.

Did you get him?

I got him.

Did you get him by the book?

Well, there are a few things internal
affairs aren't thrilled about, but I

went over the line.

Worse, it can happen. It's a few days
off.

You should have gone by the book,
Hooker.

You've always taught us.

We'll talk about it when you're on your
feet.

I'm going to be all right.

Walk and talk and all that good stuff.

You're going to be terrific, kid.

You know, when I was in there, the
boogeyman came for me again.

I just threw him out on his head.

Just like you told me to.
