you

Control to 4 out of 30, verify your code
7 location in Beach and Bennett.

4 Adam 30, that's a Roger.

4 Adam 30, clear for code 7. Have a nice
lunch.

I don't agree.

You wouldn't.

There can't be enough emphasis on youth.
There can be when team owners don't

realize the benefits of having veterans
on their team. Oh, will you face it?

Rookies extend a team's life.

The team gets its life from its
veterans.

Football is a very physical game. There
is only so much abuse the body can take

before the body rebels.

I can relate to that.

Roy, how you doing?

Well, I'm two from 30, and I'm looking
forward to it. No way. When you retire,

they're going to have to cut your legs
off to pry that motor out from under

Oh, no.

Not this vet.

I'm going to bow out gracefully, take my
training wheels home, and put them on a

golf cart.

Hey, Sarge, there's always something I
wanted to know.

What kind of a rookie cop was Hooker?

Oh, he was about like most rookies.

No respect for us veterans.

How are you doing today, sir?

Nobody makes trouble, nobody gets hurt.
Now get out!

Move it!

Everybody stand right where you are.

Move it!

Come on, the bills, the big ones.

Let's go!

All right, I know one of you smart
suckers is going to press the silent

so let's get this done real quick.

I hear you could have a desk job if you
take it. No, it's the streets or

nothing, man.

Where have I heard that before?

All units in the vicinity at 4 Adam 30,
211 silent at the First Investors Bank,

142 Parkwood.

Put it on our tab, Seymour.

How we doing, mate?

Well done.

Got enough. Let's get out of here.

Pass it on.

You heard him.

Come on.

You heard him.

Get out here.

No, please.

Don't take me.

Lady, you move it right now.

Just tell the cops Bonnie and Clyde were
here.

Vehicle is a 1973 orange four -door
Plymouth sedan, California plates,

Victor Zebra 741.

I want an air unit backup.

Advise control of the hostage situation.

Lock the doors.

Hey, keep the gun on, all right? I got
it, Eddie.

Four out of 30, Air One advises a five
-minute ETA to assist in your pursuit.

other air units available.

Damn. Roger, 30.

We could push them too hard, Hooker.

We back up.

Leaves the hostage with nothing.

They can do whatever they want with it.

Suspects are now eastbound on the alley
between 9th and Fillmore.

Michael! Michael, forget him! Forget
him! Let's go!

There's a pin on this side. Get out!

He's unconscious.

Something else.

Hooker! I'm burning!

I'm burning!

Hooker!

Let's get you some help.

Help?

This'll heal, Hooker.

What about the lady in there?

What about her?

She's hurt because of the crash.

Because we pressed the pursuit.

If we'd backed off, the suspects just
might have dumped her off and she

need any help right now.

What if they dumped her off with a
bullet in the back of her head?

Hooker. Did you make it by the bank? No,
an accident sidetracked us so we can

get another ride. The hostage's name is
Bowers. Ellen Bowers. She's a teller at

the bank.

How's she doing? Critical.

She's still nowhere.

We heard how it went down.

How's Vince?

They're treating him now.

He says he's had worse sunburns.

Mr. Tough Guy.

He blames the pursuit.

For what happened to the Bowers woman?

Mm -hmm.

I've been there.

Maybe he's got a point.

If there's any blame to be laid, it
should be put on Bonnie and Clyde.

the ones who... What I'm saying is hot
pursuits are inherently dangerous.

I'll be doing a lot of second -guessing
on my decision to stay with that

pursuit.

It was a judgment call.

I ran the vehicle ID number.

NCIC says the Plymouth was New Mexico
Solon.

Well, it's a start.

Bonnie and Clyde. They've left a trail
of liquor store and gas station

all the way from Houston, Texas, west.

Now they've graduated to bank.

Started in Scottsdale, Arizona.

I've been taking hostages to cover their
getaway.

Fun and games time. Yeah, not so much
fun.

Sometimes they release the hostages
unharmed. Sometimes they don't. There's

teller from a San Bernardino bank job.

Still in a coma at Riverside Hospital.

Hooker!

Jessica!

How are you?

I felt better.

Looking at you helps. What are you doing
here?

I'm head of security for all the bank
branches now.

You made it.

We had a robbery today in our Oceanside
branch.

They took one of the hostages, our
teller.

I heard there was an accident and they
brought her here.

My partner and I got the call.

She sustained internal injuries.

She's on the operating table now.

I'm sorry, the suspects got away.

The bank cameras must have taken
pictures.

They did. We'll need copies right away.

See that you get them.

Bye.

Attractive lady?

Yeah. I was working a bank stakeout a
couple years ago. She was working bank

security.

Robbery didn't go down for five, six
days.

We got pretty close.

All I'm saying when you decide to go
into high speed pursuit, you better be

to justify the end result.

There are a hell of a lot of.

unnecessary high -speed chases between
gung -ho young cops and hopped -up kids

with outstanding traffic warrants. Sure
there are, but the officer behind the

wheel has to decide.

Like I said, you've got to live with
that decision.

And maybe somebody dies with it.

Just talk to the hospital.

Ellen Bowers is out of surgery. She's
stable and recovering.

I'll trace to that to the lady.

Sorry, Mr. Hooker.

The people were cops.

The bartender told me.

Stop by the precinct. They said this was
a cop bar and I might find you here.

What can I do for you?

Oh, I was just wondering what...

Cops look like when we're on a uniform.

You got a problem, pal?

I'm just wondering, just wondering, what
does it feel like to kill someone?

My name is Charles

Bowers, Sergeant Booker.

My wife is Ellen Bowers.

Did you know that she was pregnant?

Did you know the baby she was carrying
was my son?

Amazing what medical science can do.

At four months, the doctors were able to
tell it was going to be a boy.

How does it feel, Sergeant, to know that
you helped kill a boy who never had a

chance to live?

You ever sleep?

I couldn't.

I kept thinking about Ellen Bowers and
her baby.

My kids.

Maybe I'd go over to the car and see if
the lab boys missed anything.

Yeah, I thought you might.

I came by to help if I can.

A few years back up in Frisco, I was
involved in a high -speed pursuit.

My partner was driving.

chasing three teenage joyriders, kids.

They went off the road at over 90.

Wrapped the car around the tree like a
pretzel.

Took us over three hours to pull their
bodies out.

I could still see the color of their
shirts.

Blood.

Everywhere.

I picked up a shoe.

I don't remember what I said to the
parents.

What are you making of this?

It could be anything.

Maybe they had suitcases in the car.

Yeah.

Could be part of a suitcase handle.

Yeah.

I don't know what this metal tad.

Could be a designer's logo.

It's a pattern.

Check it out.

My roll call tomorrow.

You're a hard man, Hooker.

Listen, I guess there are all kinds of
ways to deal with tragedy.

Bowers, he didn't know what to do with
his grief, Hooker.

Anger is an easier emotion to handle.

Yeah.

You had to blame somebody.

Couldn't find the crooks.

You found us.

I want to find Boddy and Clyde.

How's she doing? She'll be okay.

I owe

you an apology, Sergeant

Hooker. I can't account for what
happened last night. I was frustrated

angry, and I wanted to hurt someone for
hurting me.

My wife.

Our baby.

They don't owe me an apology.

I'm grateful.

You both risked your lives to save my
wife.

I wish we didn't lose that little boy.

Mr. Bowers, I wish there was some way we
could tell you how sorry we are for

what happened.

You already have.

Just by being here.

Do me one favor.

Name it.

Get those people that killed my son.

We'll get there next.

The getaway car was stolen in Houston,
Texas last week.

Chances are, Bonnie and Clyde are going
to go for another one, so keep a close

eye on the popsicle.

We're working on something we found in
the car. You'll be kept informed.

Now, these are the best pictures the
bank camera has taken so far. Pass them

around.

Study them.

Get them around.

Get them to your people on the street.
Get them working for you.

I want those two.

And there's another thing.

Flag uses a .357 Magnum. Bonnie, a .38
with hollow points.

Don't give them a chance to use them on
you.

That's wrong.

I'm on them.

Wire up photos of Bonnie and Clyde to
every city and town from here to Texas.

Maybe somebody will put names to faces.

You got it. Ginny, you and Stacy follow
up on a designer's logo we pulled from

the plumber.

When I get out of the field... I'll
check the hotels and motels.

Hiya, Jess.

This isn't a social call, Hooker.

I had a feeling it wasn't.

I just turned in my preliminary report
to the bank.

You're not going to like it, but I
wanted you to hear about it first.

I appreciate that much.

From what I found out, that car crash
didn't have to happen. You weren't

No, but I talked to enough people who
had to scramble for their lives.

None of whom were injured.

Fortunately.

Traffic was heavy. It was during the
peak hours of the day. The streets were

lined with pedestrians.

The bank was rough. The people asked for
help with a silent alarm.

Recovering the money isn't that
important.

Capturing armed suspects who've
demonstrated a willingness to do

At the risk of a dozen lives.

At the cost of Ellen Bower's baby, was
it really worth it to you, Hooker?

Maybe hot pursuit should be outlawed. I
was supposed to do that.

So I said, stop.

All hot pursuit.

And every bad guy knows at the moment
his speedometer hits 90, he's home free.

We'd turn over the streets to them.

You know, I hear a lot of copy motion
talking, and I understand that.

But the facts are still there, and they
say that car crash could have been

prevented if you'd have pulled back. The
officer in the field has to make that

decision. But can the officer live with
that decision?

He finds a way.

And what if he can't?

Then what?

An ulcer?

Booze? Or does he end up eating his 38?

Maybe somebody ought to make it their
business to see these chases stopped.

Jess, you were always big on crusades.

Only this time I'm afraid we're not on
the same side.

I'm sorry about that.

You know, one of the things I liked
about you was once you made up your mind

about something, nothing could change
it.

If I feel like that about you, it's just
not going to change what I have to do.

Seems like a lady with the mind of her
own.

How far do you think she's going to run
with it?

All the way to the end of the line.

Maybe she's running in the right
direction.

You're looking for George of Paris. I'm
George of Paris.

Of course, on occasion, I'm Han of Tokyo
or Philip of London, whatever's in that

particular year.

This is your logo.

Oh, yeah, yeah. I mean, I designed the
jacket that logo came off of, yeah.

Oh, here it is.

Well, what do you think?

Yeah, it's nice.

What size are you, Officer Sheridan? We
could run one off for you in a couple of

hours. That's very sweet of you, George.

But what we'd really like is a list of
all the stores in this area which retail

this particular jacket.

Oh, sure. But basically, you like the
jacket.

Oh, I like it very much.

I'll get you a list.

Designing is guesswork, you know? My dad
put 50 years in this business. I put in

28 already, and it's guesswork? You
ever, uh, ship any of those to Texas by

chance? Sent a dozen to the mall store
in Houston.

How'd you know that?

The woman we're looking for probably
bought it there.

That's good, huh?

We're getting there.

Listen, what would it hurt if we ran you
off a jacket?

You could wear it back and forth to the
precinct.

Was she tough to work with on the
stakeout?

Jess?

No, she was fine. She was obviously on
her way up, but she was okay.

Knew what she was talking about?

Sure.

But now she's all wrong.

That's right. She's wrong, and you're
wrong.

Bad guys escalate the action. We move up
right alongside them, then we move in

and control the situation. That's our
job.

And if somebody in the middle gets
shredded by the machine, that's an

loss. No such thing as an acceptable
loss.

I'll call him later.

Well, we've had all the stores handling
George's parachute jacket. It was a long

shot in the first place. Maybe not.

These two seem to be setting a high and
fashionable profile.

The Bonnie and Clyde syndrome?

That's right.

They took that bank with maximum
visibility.

You're not saying they want to get
caught?

Not at all.

It's just that whatever they do, they
want to make sure the world knows about

it.

Hey. We can make you a great deal.

It's that time.

You're in clearance and all, you know?

Oh, clearance, huh?

I was thinking of that.

I'd like to take one for a spin.

Yeah, it's just what we had in mind.

This is our showroom model.

But I had my heart set on this one.

Why don't you just tell the fuzz that,
uh...

Bonnie and Clyde drop by.

Bye.

All units on all frequencies stand by.

4 Mary 20 is in pursuit of a stolen 1984
Red Camaro. No place.

Southbound on 22nd and approaching
Maple.

Take it easy.

Take it easy.

This is 4 Adam 30.

Officer down.

Requesting ambulance.

At 27th and Main Street. Help is on its
way.

Take it easy.

I didn't know how much I missed you
until I saw you at the hospital today.

I'm glad you weren't busy.

Actually, I was.

We're opening a new bank branch
tomorrow, and the manager and I haven't

an agreement on security needs.

Why didn't you let me come here?

Oh, maybe I was curious.

Oh.

I guess I missed you, too.

Okay. I know that hooker look anywhere.

What's bothering you?

It seems that the captain got an
exploratory call from City Councilman

Koechner's office.

Koechner wanted the police report on the
chase the other day.

All right, there was another high -speed
pursuit today.

This time a policeman was injured.

I know.

You know him?

Yeah.

Koechner's assured me that he's going to
look into the matter of...

Hot pursuits.

Kept an old friend of the department.

I'm going to press this issue.

That's what you said.

Suppose I tell you nothing you could say
or do tonight would change my

mind about anything.

I'd say that used to be part of our
problem.

It wasn't some sort of communication
gap.

You were always too much of a cop.

It gets in the way.

A lot.

And you were always too ambitious.

And you're still Sergeant Hooker.

You know, you were always more concerned
about the way you did your job and the

officers around you than you could ever
be about someone else.

Or even yourself.

You carry your job around in your head
and your gut 24 hours a day.

I saw it then and I can see it now.

It's eating away at you.

It's a Bauer's baby.

Good cop, my friend.

In the hospital.

And the fact that these punks are out
there playing a deadly game of catch me

you can.

Damn it.

Even my own officers and I are locking
horns on this hot pursuit thing.

I'm feeling the squeeze, Jess.

But it's legal. How you doing?

About like your average busted ankle,
ruptured spleen, broken arm.

Is there anything I can get you?

I could use a couple three pounds of
smarts. That was one career boner.

Pushing those joy -riding kids into a
hot pursuit during rush hour.

Well, those kids are wanted for
kidnapping, robbery, attempted murder,

murder in three different states.

Those little scuzzballs.

Too bad they made it around the semi.

Hey, you got any idea how much the
city's going to charge me for my bike?

City Councilman George Koechner's newly
formed subcommittee to look into the

issue of hot pursuits by police.
Koechner's a political hack.

Maybe so, but he gets the public's
attention.

And the police commission.

Who is chief of security for First
Investors Bank. Hey, hey, hooker, she's

talking about your lady friend.

Reporter James Kirkpatrick caught up
with Ms. Turley at pre -opening

at a new branch of First Investors.

With more than a few of our law
enforcement officers, high -speed chases

nothing more than exercises in police
macho. Did I say she was a friend?

She was never one to hold anything back.

Oh, Mark, I thought we'd never find it.

It's just like the other one, even down
to the funny little design on the front.

Do you like it, then?

You want to see how much I like it? Mm
-hmm.

Or will this be cash or charge?

Here from San Francisco turned righteous
names on Bonnie and Clyde. Mark Howard,

Grace Tibbetts. He's a penny -ante hood
at his time in Huntsville for GTA and

the two -bit ripoff of a gas station.

He busted Grace out of Texas Youth
Authority.

They've been through four different
states in less than two weeks.

Let's hope they're still in town.

Caterby Precinct.

Officer Fox, may I help you?

Oh, I'm sorry. Officer Sheridan's in the
field.

Can you get a message to her?

This is Jean Spencer.

Right Bank Boutique on 7th Street.

Tell her the people she spoke to me
about are in the store right now.

I'm certain.

Put the phone down, lady.

Just walked out of here bold and brazen
as a couple of bank robbers. That's what

they are, ma 'am. It took a lot to make
that call. Thank you.

Five minutes. Five lousy minutes. At
least we know they're still in town.

Get it on the air.

Start the search.

Do you believe we missed him by five
minutes?

Where are you now?

Market at 12.

The sales lady we contacted off that
logo clue just had a parachute jacket

ripped off.

The suspects were last seen walking
northbound on 9th from Menlo. I'd guess

red Camaro they ripped off is close by.

We got a two -minute ETA.

Well, they shouldn't be too hard to spot
the girls wearing the bulky jacket.

It's, uh, steel gray in color.

Roger, Jim.

If this one's as good as the last, what
do you say we take one of them two -week

boat trips down to Mexico?

Could we?

That's what it's all about, baby.

We just talked to a witness who saw them
climb into the stolen red Camaro.

It was parked on Datta Car about two
blocks north of the boutique.

Roger, Jim. Put out the word on the car.

And let's make a pass by the banks in
the area.

The way Bonnie and Clyde operate, I'm
going to depend that they'll try for one

more score before they split.

Okay, hurry it up. Come on, let's go.

Okay, lady, just the big bills and make
it fast. Come on, quick.

Quick.

Okay, lady, come on.

Get around here.

Come on, lady, move it.

You need trouble, and then the lady
here, she gets blown away.

Hey!

has just occurred at the bank.

3944 West Goodman Avenue.

Suspects have a hostage.

4 Adam 7. Handle code 3.

This is 4 Adam 30. We're two blocks away
in response.

4 Adam 30. Suspects match description of
prior bank 211 at 142 Parkwood.

You see who that was? Yeah.

Damn it, they've got chess.

4M30 to control.

All units on all frequencies, stand by.

4M30 is in pursuit.

4M30, what's your location?

That is 4M30. We're southbound on
Woodward, approaching Harbour.

They're headed our way.

We can parallel up Grand and cut them
off at the long.

Suspects are now heading south on
Lawson, approaching the log.

Advise all units, suspects have a
hostage.

If you're out, you can leave. If you're
back off, you're driving.

You surrounded?

Come on, let's wait.

Pull

it.

Stacy, stay with it.

Jim, cover me.

Thank you.

Does she still have the recording
machine turned on? I hate those things.

What Jessica went through, she probably
needs some time to herself.

Yeah.

Well, I hope we all learned something
today.

I had a hard time deciding.

Sometimes hot pursuits are necessary.

Right, Jim?

Yeah. Like women, a necessary evil.

Thanks a lot.

I thought I needed to be alone, and I'm
glad I found you. So am I.

Do you have a minute?

How about a few?

God, that was horrible today.

Now I know the terror that Ellen Bowers
felt.

I talked to her on the phone a little
while ago. How is she?

She's out of the hospital.

She's not great, but she's getting a
whole lot better.

And I talked to her husband, and he
wanted me to tell you that he and Ellen

already talked, and...

They've decided to try it again,
whatever that means.

It means I hope it's a boy.

How about buying me a drink, Cop?

Not here.
