Ready? I'm not sure.

About five minutes, you'll know, baby.

Just keep your mind on business, Pauly.
Hey, don't worry. It's there.

One's for you, Ted.

Mr. Jeffrey.

Got ourselves a new partner.

Let's go, Jeff. Let's get out of here.
Easy.

They're just chewing the fat.

All right, we'll wait inside.

All units, this is a RAS alarm
broadcast.

A robbery is in progress at the
supermarket.

10 -10, all of you.

Repeat. This is a RAS alarm broadcast.

A robbery is in progress at the
supermarket.

10 -10, all of you.

4 -atom -32, all units. RAS alarm test
is now concluded. RAS alarm test is now

concluded. One remote alarm transmitting
system, Mr. Doyle.

Compliments of your local police
department.

Well, I'd rather have you and Hooker
staked out in the back of my market with

shotguns, Romano.

There's no need for that, Mr. Doyle.

This is high tech.

This is law enforcement's future.

You push the button, we roll.

One little silver box against five
market robbers in this area.

You know, somehow that just doesn't seem
to be much comfort.

Man's got a point, Romano.

Stakeouts used to be a terrific
deterrent. Smoke one bandit.

Robberies are dropped to zero overnight.

Stay that way for months.

I vote for that one.

Unfortunately, it's not on the ballot.

Progress.

Thanks. So long, Mr. Judge.

Um... You mind if I drive?

My drive ain't getting on your nerves,
Romano?

No, no. I just want to stay in touch.
You know, keep a feel of the road. Stay

tuned in.

It's a nice, shiny car. No nicks, no
dents, no scratches.

Be my guest, Roadrunner.

Beep, beep.

All

right,

just a second.

Everybody over there. Move, move, move,
move.

Everybody move, move, move down there.
Move.

Move! Get to the wall! Get to the wall!
Everyone, get to the wall!

Move, everybody! Move, move, move!

Up against the wall! Let's go, come on!

Number three, cover!

No! Come on, open it up!

Open it up!

Put it in there. That one? All of them?
Good, thanks. Up against the wall.

Come on, put it in there.

Open it!

Open it, come on! Get over here.

Come on.

Come on, out of your stomachs! Move,
move, move!

Open it up.

Put it all in there.

Put it in there.

What are you doing? You set the alarm
up. You just took the last bill out. No,

didn't. She's got the cops rolling.

Let's go.

That means you're going to be our ticket
out of here. Now move.

You know, somehow you get to have all
the fun, Hooker.

I mean, I've never even driven a pursuit
yet.

You got a whole career in front of you,
Jim.

Yeah, yeah, but it's like being a
fighter pilot.

I mean, this is my thing.

I get behind the wheel. I feel like the
Red Baron.

All units, all frequencies, stand by. 4
Adam 16 is in pursuit of 2 -11 suspects.

From the market at 10 -10, all of you.
Now northbound on Overland toward the

foothills.

are driving a Trans Am yellow in color,
no lights.

That's Joe Doyle's market where we just
delivered the Ratsalon.

Yeah, but that's not it talking. Hang a
U -turn.

Before AM 30, we're a mile east of 16
Call. Tell them we're moving up to Code

100 at Overland and Eastman and
switching to Jack 2.

Closing. That's only because we're still
on the flats.

Hey, give me some room. I've nailed
those suckers.

Hold your position.

Just stay with it.

We've got two of them left in our town.

That'll slow him down.

Don't! You heard her. You hear her. You
can't do that. Shut up!

Go back up.

We're all yours now, Alana.

You just bet they are.

Four Adams 30.

Pursuit terminated.

Request a shop tow. We are involved.

They threw the girl out of the car.
Let's get down there.

Another car trashed. We're really going
to be in trouble with Sheridan on this

one. What's this we business?

You were driving. I wasn't driving. You
were driving.

It's always we when you're the driver.

Let's get a board under us.

Why did they do this to me?

Take it easy.

You're getting a lot of help, okay?

What's your name?

Karen.

Karen Stewart.

Why did they do this to me?

Karen, is there anybody in your family
you want me to call?

It was just me and my dad.

He died last year.

Karen, if you have the strength, I want
you to try and remember everything you

can about those people in the car.

They never took off their masks.

But I'm almost positive one of them was
a girl.

What makes you say that?

Her voice.

I heard her ask them... I heard her ask
them not to push me out.

It's kind of a southern accent.

I have school tonight.

I'll be able to go, won't I?

Doctor, my exams are important to me.

I can't afford to miss them.

Take it all one step at a time, Karen.

I want to get you to the hospital.

Take some pictures. Look them over.

Get you cleaned up.

Let's roll.

I need to be a PE teacher.

If I miss tonight, it'll set me back the
whole semester.

You make him understand, okay?

I will.

It's just fine, isn't it?

It's serious, Hooker.

I'd like to bring all the judges, all
the lawyers, all the well -meaning

who understand the plight of the
unfortunate who turn to crime to see

girl and the agony she hasn't even been
through yet.

All right, bring it back.

Bring it back a little further.

A little further. Turn your wheel on.
Hold it.

Seymour says we can't have another car.

What are you talking about?

He's got orders. Something about being
over budget.

What do you mean, Seymour says? What
does it do? Patrol on foot?

Orders from who?

Orders from me, Hooker.

You know, maybe this city would be a lot
safer if you two were on foot.

Now, this is your fleet safety record.

Now, you two have the distinction of
leading this precinct in the willful

destruction of patrol cars.

May the 5th. That was $914.

That was the right front fender and the
door.

Oh, yeah.

That was the Irishman who ran the red
light. You remember that one, don't you,

Romano?

Yeah, May 5th.

The guy was celebrating Cinco de Mayo.
Couldn't hold his tequila.

June 12th.

I already know what you're going to say
on that one, Captain.

And you can't hold us responsible for
that.

I can't?

It was both a tactical and a cost
-effective decision.

Let me see if I got this straight,
Hooker. The bandits pile into the

car, so you figure the best tactic is to
ram them.

Avoid a shootout.

So, uh, being cost -conscious, you put
your car into reverse and you ram the

crook's car with the back of your unit.

Save the front grill, the radiator, and
the engine.

If Hooker banged them head -on, Captain,
the cost would have quadrupled.

You've destroyed my fleet's safety
record.

And I feel as though I should thank you.

For saving me money that shouldn't have
been spent in the first place. You two

guys, you're driving me crazy. Yes, sir,
sir. Why don't we just talk about the

market robberies? Yeah, why don't we?

You know, we might have nailed those
bandits today if you had delivered the

rat's alarm system to their market on
time.

Sorry, police work got in the way of our
delivery schedule.

But we also might have nabbed them.

If you'd quit writing technology
articles for Police Chief Magazine and

of your robbery people on stakeout.

I told you before, I'm morally opposed
to a stakeout unless it's the last

resort. Six market robberies in a ten
-square -mile area at the rate of two a

week. Math suspects, a shotgun, 45 autos
to back up their move, move, move

robbery style.

Two victims with concussion from blows
on a head.

And today, a young girl thrown from a
car.

We don't even know if she's going to
walk again.

That doesn't spell last resort. I don't
know what does.

Hooker, three suspects.

Voice ID'd one of them as a girl. They
were two men only on the other five

market robberies. Maybe they recruited a
third gun, sir.

What do we know about the six stolen
autos?

Five have been recovered.

Today's is still outstanding.

And you know, for a thief to steal a car
before a robbery is as common as a

cold. We chased your common cold car
today, Conrad, and it was anything but

stock. Making excuses, Romano?

Maybe you need some refresher time on
the pursuit course?

Hey, wait a minute, Conrad. Hold it.

Now, look.

Conrad handled the detective work on
this one.

You two hit the streets. Now, that's the
end of it, okay?

investigation. You got something in
mind?

I won't know until I get my hands on
Conrad's follow -up.

Hooker, that's 484 in the penal code.

There.

But you're wrong, Romano.

There's one element missing in the
crime.

I have no intent to permanently deprive.

I'm afraid, Jeff.

You just can't keep doing robberies to
save this.

You got no gripe.

You're doing just fine just six months
away from that Texas farm I bailed you

out of.

Jeff, I love you.

I would go anywhere just to be with you,
even if it was back to my daddy's farm

or the army base.

But when we came out here, you didn't
tell me we was going to be doing this.

Then why don't you go back, sweetie?

You didn't have the gut to do what was
necessary today.

Hey, shut up, Paulie.

The market heights are buying all the
parts for my little toy here.

And I'm going to be king of the hill
real soon.

Nobody can stop me from it.

Devil Dan is going to eat my smoke.

Not until you get 5 ,000 for that
turbocharger.

That'll happen tomorrow.

Anybody gets in our way on this hit.

I'm going to do more than just shove him
out of a car.

For sure.

Oh, excuse me, Raul. Stacy, I had a call
in the hospital.

Any word on Karen Stewart?

Surgery lasted for 12 hours and she's
still in intensive care.

They still don't know if she'll be able
to walk. Poor kid.

What about the follow -ups on the
recovered robbery vehicles?

Detective Conrad didn't lock his file
last night. Good for you, Stacy.

Number six won't be in there, Hooker.
It's still outstanding.

Marrow Trans Am Fiat BMW.

Stacy, run criminal records on each of
the car owners.

Pull all associates. Break them down to
male, female, age, birthplace, and

current resident address. Will you do
that?

What do you want to, Hooker?

When I find that Trans Am we lost
yesterday, I'll let you know, Junior.

Tell you what, Sheridan.

Since you phase twos think us phase
fours are such foul -ups, let's put it

the test.

Why, Romano, you wouldn't be suggesting
a little contest.

Pursuit track, nose -to -nose, wire -to
-wire. Tell your class to pick a driver.

They already have.

You?

I love it.

Thank you. I love it.

Want to name a prize, Romano?

Oh, I have a few ideas.

Quite a few.

So do I, Romano.

So do I.

30, go Air One. Air One, I covered
sector two west of the ridge.

Just like you said, Hooker. We've got
one Trans Am sitting in the bush, 100

from Sky Ridge in Wonderland Lake.

Roger, Air One. Thanks much for the
assist.

How much do you know about cars, Romano?

Hooker, you are talking to the South
Philly Flash.

Come on. Hey!

In high school, I put together a 69
Mustang.

She had Indy 500 heads, Speed Pro 8 -to
-1 thugs, and a roller cam crawled

crank. Nobody, but nobody, could touch
me.

Street drags.

You figure the Trans Am is duped. In a
way. Get us a tow truck, and we'll see

you were flat -out driven, or if the
bandit had some help.

It's been wiped clean, Hooker, except
for this one partial print the lab just

found behind the rearview mirror.

This car's telling us nothing.

This car is telling us a lot.

The study has heard nothing.

Hill racers.

Come again?

A bridge you don't find in South Philly,
Ramon.

Suspension and engine tuned for high
terrain. Driving flat out on washboard

straights, hairpin turns.

You figure a hill racer is pulling these
jobs?

Stacy's preliminary look at the stolen
car victims says that each one up to now

is a hill racer. And my gut tells me
that the guy stealing these and driving

them is a part of that fraternity.

Because they know the kind of wheels to
steal and the terrain we have trouble

catching them on. And not one of those
stolen car victims had these on their

cars when they were stolen.

Suspension equipment.

Could be the answer to stopping those
robberies.

Hill racers were hot. Nothing like them
in the world.

Gas shocks.

Frames dipped in acid to lighten the
load.

Beefed up suspension.

How do you know so much about hill
racers?

Let's just say I had a good education.

Traffic detail's been trying to stop
those rums for years.

Well, I'll just get in a little
enforcement for them.

Nailing that peanut cush, no problem at
all.

I'll get him.

What is going on with the Queen of
Cards?

Oh, no.

Hooker!

My ego has just been totally destroyed.

That's what happens when you chase
peanut cars, Junior. And you, what am I

to do about you, huh?

and got himself a tight gearbox.

You gonna write up my baby sister, cop?

Maybe I ought to write you up, wise guy,
for contributing.

You begged, pleaded, and I gave in, so
arrest me.

One day I might have to, Dan.

There's too many cars at the bottom of
Dead Man's Curve. It's dangerous. It's

gotta be stopped.

Hey, it sounds like you are gonna write
me.

Bobby, you get a warning, a registered
warning.

You could lose your license, and I'm
serious.

You're still tough as ever, Hooker.

And Bobby tells me you're still king of
the hill.

Kind of like owning the fastest gun in
the West, you know.

Always a new one coming around wanting
to beat me.

Except one.

You, Hooker. I've been waiting 15 years
for that challenge.

What's he talking about?

He's saying that people choose different
paths in life.

Yeah, I took the crown and Hooker got
himself a badge.

Hooker?

You were a hill racer?

We were the top contenders.

That day could have been Hooker's race.

But he stayed in class at the police
academy and I took the crown.

You know, I'm still wondering if I could
have beat you, Hooker. No way, Dan. Not

on your best day.

90 to 4 out of 30. Come in.

I'll get it.

What brings you back up here?

Memories? Robbery.

Tied to the hill cars.

I've heard a couple kids got their
wheels copped, but robbery?

Probably got a warning because I need
your cooperation.

Go on this way.

Hermano, pop the trunk, will you?

A stupid torsion bar.

I'd have gone a long while, Dan, but I'd
say these are real specialty items.

Well, they both are. That sway bar is
custom, but there's only one speed shop

the state that handles a stupid torsion
bar.

Which one?

Mine.

Market robbery number seven went down 30
minutes ago.

They shot a security guard.

You've done okay for yourself.

Hey, keep that Porsche fit for the hill
with bankrupt Fort Knox.

I was forced into success, Hooker.

Look at these wheels.

Can we take a look at those sales
records now? Yeah, sure. Come on inside.

This is it.

Every stupid Porsche and Barbie sold so
far this year, plus the inventory.

Can you think of a customer who sold
more than one?

That'd be rare, Hooker, unless they had
more than one Hilltar.

Or unless they wanted to rig a stolen
getaway car.

You know, Hooker, I really must
congratulate you on that excellent

Steuben torsion bar.

Police work moves right along when one
has the right leads.

Well, you're in luck, Conrad.

Mr. Denko here is the sole statewide
distributor for those torsion bars.

I know.

I ran a check to the FBI. They contacted
Interpol, and we got a quick answer

from the Steuben factory in Germany.

Detective Conrad.

Dan Denko.

I also got a quick answer from our lab.

Our sole distributor here belongs to
that partial fingerprint we lifted from

Trans Am.

Mr. Danko, you're under arrest for
robbery and kidnapping.

I'd also like to talk to you about that
guard that was shot in this afternoon's

robbery.

Dan Danko's not your man. He can't be.
Well, he fits the description to a T.

His own records can't account for the
torsion bars, and Conrad tells me that

kid sister is his only alibi.

And there was a female in the last two
robberies. She had a southern accent,

Captain. Probably the California girl,
born and bred.

That's why she's not in jail yet. But
she still allows the alibi. I'm Danko's

alibi. I was on the hill this afternoon
when the robbery went down.

You were on the hill, Hooker, but was
Danko?

Captain, Hooker was talking to him. We
were notified.

30 minutes after the robbery. Now, you
timed the run from the market to the

yourself, Hooker. What was it? 12
minutes.

So he could have pulled off the robbery
and been back up on the hill by the time

you first saw him. Now, the evidence is
overwhelming, Hooker.

So why are you here, Hooker?

You want to ask me personally if I did
it?

You didn't do it. I know you didn't do
it.

But if I wanted to help you, you got to
help me.

The only way you can help me is to get
me a good lawyer.

That's not what I'm talking about. Come
on.

You read the papers, you watch the news
on TV.

Seven market robberies.

The last two pulled by three bandits,
one of them a woman with a southern

accent. They wear masks.

They steal hill cars for getaways.

Yeah, and I'm in here because I drive
the hill.

Put that blue suit on, you're all the
same, hooker.

I've been the roust route before.

When you were rousted before, did you
match the physical description of a

bandit? Was your fingerprint found on a
stolen getaway car?

I didn't do it! Come on, Dan!

You're not blind, you're up there on a
hill.

Think, man.

Give me something to work with.

I have thought I don't come up with
nothing.

Conrad nails me behind the stupid
torsion bar because I represent the

What about the sway bar? Why don't you
guys go out and lock up everybody who

deals them?

Because they're custom.

You said they were on each of the six
stolen cars.

That's right. Then it'd have to be
modified to fit each car.

And that's specialty work.

There's only a few people in town who
are good enough to do it, Hooker. Now

you're thinking.

Name names.

Start with one you know.

Who'd steal from his own mother.

Axle Suspension and Brake Shop down on
East Channel Road.

Jailer!

That's the place to start.

Listen.

What about Bobby?

It's taken care of. She'll stay with
Fran until I can get you out of here.

Booker. I guess I should say thanks.

If you feel like saying it, save it.

Till you have reason to thank me.

What we've got here is what you call
camber and toeing. The whole front end

out of alignment, and your brakes are
worn to nothing.

Very dangerous, lady, dangerous.

It'll cost you $283 now, or maybe your
family's life if you scrimp

and don't do it.

My good friends, the police, I take care
of all their cars.

Excuse me, lady.

I see it. What do you want, Hooker? Get
lost, you bad business.

Good business requires referrals,
Gedmini.

Come on, fade away, will you, Hooker?
I'm going to stick my lawyers on you,

fair? This man has a bad attitude
problem, Sergeant Hooker. Hey, you take

flying leap, too, son.

Axel.

Sway bars.

Talk to me about sway bars.

Seven cars in the last four weeks.

Fiat, BMW, Camaro, Trans Am, all to the
same customer.

You're in the wrong place. I ain't into
that no more.

What, sway bars?

On getaway cars?

Oh, on fadeaway.

Will you guys back off? I'm legit. And
I'm a pink elephant.

Listen to me.

The maggots I'm looking for, they're
heavy and I want them.

And they seem to have this idea that
they can shoot security guards, thump

people on the head, throw young girls
out of moving cars. Listen to me, Axel.

I have to ask myself, why?

Why should the people who do that?

And the people who help them do that.

Be allowed to even walk the streets.

What are you telling me all this for?

That I don't forget the victims.

I don't forget the agony they go
through.

So you send your lawyers.

Maybe I'll send our undercover people
from Bunko to check you out.

Maybe that lady over there is one of
them right now.

All right, all right.

Two guys and a blonde girl.

What kind of a car are they driving?

Brown and beige GMC van.

Cash?

Yeah, yeah. No names, no records. I fix
them up with a sway bar and I collect.

I don't know nothing else on it.

Then why your sweater?

Hooker, I got an answer from Germany.
They shipped a dozen torsion bars to an

import house in Long Beach.

I tried to call to track the importer's
customer, but they're closed.

So I'll try again first thing tomorrow
morning.

The van info come back yet on Romano's
computer run?

Yes, but nothing worthwhile.

And the hospital called, said you can
see Karen Stewart first thing in the

morning. Any word on her injuries? Is
there paralysis?

The test for that comes in the morning
also.

Well, I'll just have to say a word of
prayer for her, won't I?

Oh, Hooker, do you have any idea where I
might find Romano?

He's not in the barracks, and he didn't
sign off the academy grounds.

Try the garage. He's into cars this
week.

About that.

Romano!

You've been discovered, hotshot.

I found this parts requisition in the
captain's inbox.

Right. It was just delivered. That's
what I'm hooking up now.

You admit it?

All right.

You think this is so I can whip you in
the pursuit course?

No, no, no.

This, sweetheart, is to get our unit
flat enough to the ground so we can nail

the market robbers. It has nothing to do
with you.

And nothing to do with the pursuit
course?

For that, I need no help.

Grab a wrench. You can change the plugs.
They're in the toolbox.

Platinum tips?

You know about that stuff?

I built a 52 Chevy from the frame up in
high school auto shop.

Remind me to check your car before the
race.

It's winner take all. I wouldn't want
you taking advantage of me.

You wouldn't, huh?

Come to think of it, maybe I would.

Look at it.

Five grand worth of turbocharger.

That'll be the undoing of Devil Band
Danko. Why don't we just shoot him?

be a lot easier.

Jeff.

Jeff, why do you want that crown so bad?

The rep.

The power.

I know when I can eat every squid rookie
alive.

I'm gonna get pure pleasure putting them
into the boneyard under Dead Man's

Curb. You get yours and I get mine.

Tomorrow. Tomorrow?

Gotta live, gotta keep up the cash flow.

We're riding again, sweetness.

In bed.

And then, I'm gonna be king.

Karen, you mentioned the girl. What
about the two others? Men, for sure?

Their voices were definitely male.

If I were to guess, in their early 20s,
that's only a guess.

It helps.

Was there anything special you noticed
about them?

An accent? Clothing?

The driver.

He wore a blue stone ring, a signet
ring.

He was the one that told them to throw
me out of the car.

Well, Doc, what's the verdict?

We'll know for sure until I put you on
your feet.

When do we do that?

out right now.

Let's see if you can make it to Sergeant
Hooker.

Come on.

Here goes nothing.

Of course you can.

According to a certain professor I've
been talking to, you've got a lot of

to make up.

Did Conrad take Danca to rain again?

I saw him headed back to the jail a
minute ago.

And Hooker, I just got the info from the
import company.

The torsion bar customer was a woman, a
Tess Parker, but it was a man who picked

up the order.

Any address?

Cash customer.

I have a woman on a van FI printout
named Tess Parker. She was alone.

Where does the van DMV to?

Not in file.

That's when the vehicle unit is running
down for us.

Hooker!

I just talked to the kid who owns the
Trans Am. He remembered that Dan gave

a cockpit lesson on the hill over a
month ago.

Danny adjusted the rearview mirror.

That explains the fingerprint.

That should be enough to get him out of
jail.

But we need more.

More evidence to put the real suspects
in the slam.

The Trans Am owner cleared the print.

Can't think.

Two guys and a girl.

South in her mouth.

They travel around in a brown and beige
GMC van.

The girl's blonde.

The guy wears a blue signet ring.

The guy who wanted to go for the crown
today, he wears a ring like that.

And he drives a van.

Simpson, that wimp. Oh, he's capable of
robbery, all right.

And he had a girl with him the other
day.

Blonde. Does Simpson have a first name?

Jeff. He hangs with a crazy named Paulie
Culver. They were arrested about three

years ago for smashing grab burglaries
in auto parts stores.

Semi -rich kids. They were given
straight probation by agreeing to join

army. Where can I find him?

Simpson's Hill Car has a personalized
license.

Uh, crown six.

That help?

Oh, shit. short DMV should take us right
to the throne.

Okay. I cased this market last week.
It's got the exact same floor plan as

last one.

I mean, this time of day, there aren't
that many customers.

There's plenty of cash.

I mean, they got the payroll checks
coming in this afternoon.

Then that's the one we'll do.

And then we'll go straight to the hill.

I'm not going.

You can do whatever you want to me, but
I'm not going. I can't do that.

Just say the word, Jeff.

Lady Tess likes the life. She just can't
take the work.

Isn't that right, babe?

I feel like I'm going to be sick.

Will you just be here when we come back?

That's the girl.

We're looking for Jeff Simpson.

It concerns robbery.

That's a Roger. We have reason to
believe it's the supermarket at 3460

Granville. Roger, 4 Adam 30.

Advise all units in the area that we're
one block away.

Rolling in silent.

Well, I'm ready.

And this car is ready.

Cops!

Grab her!

All right, Simpson, put her down.

We know who both of you are.

That doesn't matter, does it?

When a little girl is going to die, you
try to stop me.

Try sneaking behind them.
