Memo to Benson file.

Laura likes the drop ceiling idea and
the track lighting in the den.

Check on those stained glass inserts for
the kitchen cabinet.

I think I'm going to suggest Mayor
Engineering to do the Bering Wall

Your driver's license, please.

I'm sorry, officer.

But this bee was driving me absolutely
crazy in here.

I guess I was so busy swatting at it
that I drove right to the light.

A bee caught in an open car, that's very
unusual.

No pollen on the wings?

No stinger? Looks to me like rigor
mortis has even set in.

Really? How many times have you used
this dead bee gimmick, Miss Sherman?

Look.

I'm on my way to my girlfriend's house
to do some work.

I already got a moving violation this
month.

Couldn't you give me a break?

I wish I could, but I can't.

Do you realize what this is going to do
to my insurance rates, Sergeant Hooker?

Sign right here, please.

I bet you even start your underwear.

And efficient, too.

That's what you pay your taxes for.

I guess I deserved it, huh?

I'll give him a proper burial.

Back into the memorial, eh, Fetch?

I'd put my top up if I were you. There's
a 60 % chance for rain.

I'll do that.

Love at first sight, Hooker?

Oh, ships that pass in the night.

This afternoon, remember, drop Mom a
note and get her artichoke dip recipe

the restaurant opening.

P .S. on memo tomorrow.

The V -trick doesn't work with some
cops.

What's Laura's car doing here?

Strike gold in there?

Yeah, close to 300, moonshine.

Maybe there's something else we can cash
in on.

You know, a car like that Mercedes, you
thought there'd be more, huh?

Emergency. Ridgeway Road in Dante
Canyon. They're attacking my...

Who'd you call?

A cop?

That car.

Belongs to my friend. Where is she?

Maybe you'd like some of the same.

and 4 Adam 30, a possible attack in
progress.

Bridgeway Road and Dante Canyon.

4 Adam 30, that's a roger.

They've done something to my friend,
Laura.

Where?

Across the road in the ravine.

You okay?

That's all they want.

Just my purse.

As soon as the lab's done printing your
car, they'll give you a call.

Thanks.

I hope they get something to nail those
creeps. Me too.

Prints in your car are all we have to go
on, along with the price of their

license plates. As soon as I know
something, we'll be in touch.

It's Crimshaw.

The carved whalebone that creep was
wearing around his neck.

Here, I'll show you.

There. Another clue.

You're real good, you know. You're
right. I am.

And smart, too.

Know why?

Why? I won't have that drink with you.

I didn't ask you.

That's what makes you only have smart
Sarge

You

came from the print shop just before
they closed for the day make sure the

oncoming watch puts them in a
circulation The lab literally prints off

Sherman's alpha nothing that'll work for
us We're still trying to locate the

owner of the license plates on that
Chrysler She and her Honda moved from

Monterey Park snow forward in your dress
I think we have a beginning on that

bump and rob.

It's a popular M .O. out of state.

Three suspects.

They've been working the M .O. between
here and Houston, Texas, starting three

months ago. Eighteen rape robberies,
four homicides.

You know, in two cases, they followed up
on property they found in their

victims' purses, went back to their
homes, that accounted for one of the

homicides in Nevada.

Nice bunch.

That young kid are trying to nail Terry
Sherman.

None of the other bump and robs show him
as a participant.

Guess he just signed on.

Okay, yeah.

Hi. By yourself, who's this?

Some compliment.

You write me a ticket, save my life,
spend half the day with me, drive me

and now it's who's this?

Hiya, Terry.

Very good, Sarge.

Now, what time you get off work?

As a matter of fact, we're just going
out of watch now. Why?

Some importance come up.

You know a lounge in Chinatown called
the Red Dragon?

I sure do. What's up?

I'll tell you when you get there.

30 minutes?

Well, you're going to tell us what
that's all about.

She's come up with something she wants
to talk about.

She's come up with something she wants
to talk about.

That should be an interesting
conversation.

You know, you look less like a
stormtrooper in your civvies.

Of course, I wouldn't rate your taste in
clothes any higher than a five, so

don't let the compliment go to your
head. I'll work on it.

Would you answer the question now? What
are we doing here?

Hmm. At your request.

And?

Made another one.

I called in some of my artist buddies.

And who that lady is?

Blackbeard's mother.

She was a lady pirate.

Her name was Al Wilda.

The original's in a whaling museum in
New Bedford.

And the one you grabbed from this punk
is a copy. Yeah.

I talked to the museum.

They said there was a Chinese man who
did this.

He used to sell them out of a curio shop
right here in Chinatown.

Did you get a name?

No.

They didn't know the curio shop either.

We'll check them all out in the morning.

What about now?

You and me.

Hey, me Cobb, you interior designer.

This, Chinatown.

From what I hear, they won't tell a
policeman anything around here.

I want to help.

What do you say? I'm afraid of what I'll
have to put up with if I say no.

Charlie Wong makes this kind of
scrimshaw hookah.

Where can I find it?

Mahjong parlors, maybe.

He's a hard man to pin down.

Hi. How you doing?

Mahjong?

Uh, Chinese poker.

So where are the mahjong parlors?

In places where a civilian can get into
deep and dangerous trouble.

Charlie Wong.

Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold
on.

Thanks for today, Sarge.

What'd you wish for?

Maybe I already got it.

You don't ask for very much, do you?
Well, I was always taught that if you

for too much at once, you're liable to
come up empty -handed.

Too old -fashioned.

You don't take what's offered.

Maybe you won't get a second chance.

Too modern?

Looks like we're going to be moving
home.

My landlady's back.

Well, we're going to have to figure out
some way to thank her for these extra

days we're spending here.

Well, lookie here.

The lady with the little car.

Appears she and the lady are like a
friend, Sonny.

Name's Terry, somebody or other.

Terry Sherman, here's her business card.

It even says where she's working these
days.

Give me a bone to pick at that one.

Who are all these people?

I said let my place to you.

And you were supposed to vacate
yesterday.

Oh, come on in, pretty lady.

Another thing.

What are the license plates on my car
doing on that Chrysler downstairs?

I told you to get them plates from out
of the neighborhood.

The cops couldn't trace us here.

No, no, Billy Joe's too lazy for that.

Looks like we've been found out.

Doesn't it, fellas?

I think we can handle it this time.

Name's Charlie Wong.

Has done time for counterfeiting,
illegal manufacturing of phony IDs, and

Probably developed a scrimshaw talent in
the plant.

Might have had to bump and rob a guy
with a scrimshaw in the same place.

You think he can finger the whereabouts
of the group?

He's our best shot so far. Keep working
with Chinatown to contact him.

Your interior designer have anything to
do with you going to Chinatown last

night?

Could be.

What about those circles under your
eyes? Could be.

4 Adam 30, 4 Adam 16 reports locating
Elizabeth Woods, the owner of the

plates used in the Benson assault.

Meet the apartment manager at 9210 Ocean
Place. 4 Adam 30, roger.

Did the apartment manager remember
seeing anyone with her? Four people,

our composites. The youngest guy sublet
the place.

You get any name?

No. But I heard one of them call our
female suspect Moonshine. He said she's

certifiable straitjacket material.

What'd I tell you? There's the little
car.

Blake is probably inside.

Yeah, along with a half dozen workers.

So we take her license to the DMV, we
pay the four bucks, and we walk out with

her home address.

Cute.

Huh?

You get to pay the lady back for messing
up your shoes, eh, Billy boy?

Tell me you don't want her for your own
reasons, honey.

Picked up only six different sets of
prints from Elizabeth Wood's apartment.

enough to classify any of them. And the
Chrysler? Seen once. No sign of it now.

Probably dumped it.

NCIC file was bulging with monikers. I
pulled all the moonshines that seemed to

match our suspect's description. I got
six.

I hate to find myself in a bear hug with
any of those leads.

Make copies of these pictures.

And run them by the victim's apartment
manager. And re -interview him. Maybe he

can remember something else.

You want me to show those to the assault
victim? No.

I want Terry Sherman to take a look at
them before we talk to her friend. And

you can get back to beating the bushes
for that man who could put names to the

faces we have.

Charlie Wong.

You doing all this?

The whole enchilada.

What do you think?

I am impressed.

What's the policy on kissing men in
uniform?

Definitely not allowed.

I guess you'll just have to take me to
jail.

You're under arrest.

Last night was terrific, Sarge.

You know, I was in this building a
couple of years ago on a vandalism

The place was a wreck.

Yeah. You're really turning it into
something.

Well, talk about a showcase that
actually gets you a job.

It did.

In Connecticut.

A restaurant corporation has promised to
keep me working for at least a year.

I'm sorry to hear it.

These mug shots belong to women with a
monetary moon time.

That's her.

She was standing by a tree in the gully.
Who is she?

Dorothy Unger.

A ten on the violence scale.

Mental hospital's prison. She's from
Texas.

We think she's tied to a string of rape
robberies, including one we discovered

this morning. The woman was raped and
murdered.

Oh, my God.

Does Laura Benson know that?

No. You're a friend of Laura's.

I want you with me when I tell her.

I'm not sure about anything.

Any of them.

My husband may be home in a few minutes.
I don't want him upset by this.

You're the victim, not the criminal.

You gotta get that through your head.

Ted told me that that dress I was
wearing was too

inviting. I should never have worn it.

You didn't hold up a sign saying hurt
me.

And you're not their only victim.

You're gonna keep feeling it's your
fault until you share the hurt.

Some thought.

Remember we're friends, Laura.

This gets better.

Sergeant Hooker.

The man who... took my purse.

He called the woman... this.

Is that any help?

Everything helps, Mrs. Benson.

Good night.

You think that's going to be of any
help?

Well, just the fact that Laura let us
have it makes a difference for her. And

it turns out that Dorothy Unger really
does have a brother, why, it could pay

off across the board.

The whole evening paid off for me.

You're a man full of surprises, Sarge.

You're always that tender and
compassionate with your crime victim.

Are you sure you're not confusing good
police practice with something else?

I have never been confused one day in my
life.

Until now.

Looks like the lady got herself
occupied.

I can't wait.

Me too.

in love with you, Sarge. Relax and enjoy
it.

Go on, Toby.

Vanilla ice cream if you get down.

What?

Good thing he's not jealous. That's his
side of the bed.

Looks like he's not used to giving it
up, either.

He's not.

This job of yours in Connecticut, when
does it happen?

Four or five weeks.

Why? You want to give me a going -away
party?

I don't think I could bring myself to
come to a party like that.

Hello?

Your partner.

Romano, you're my partner, not my
mother.

But your partner's talking. I did what
you asked.

Kept digging for Charlie Wong.

How would you like 20 Chinese gamblers
to squeeze for his present whereabouts?

You're into the Mahjong, Pop.

The Imperial line with the help of the
Vice Squad. Interested?

Sit tight, I'm rolling.

Okay, okay.

Come on, let's go.

Come on, let's go. Let's go. Come on,
move it in.

See what I tell ya.

Dude probably has a wife at home to get
back to

Let's do what we came here to do

Toby?

I've never been stonewalled so much in
my life. Maybe when we get them into a

courtroom, somebody will decide they
know Charlie Wong.

I think someone does.

Look what we found in a sweep of the B
-Wagon.

Second deposit key.

Have the bank TV check it out for us in
the morning.

I've got 20 Chinese gamblers to book.
You know, that was my account.

Something's going on with him.

Yeah, I think it's called love.

Let's get the car.

I should see a doctor.

They've moved your whole house.

I'm going to need a list of things that
are missing.

The dress Stacy got for me.

How do you feel?

Find them, Sarge.

Take a look at this.

That man you killed?

Yeah.

Was that the one that... Can't be sure.

It was so dark in there.

Can't your lab tell?

Probably. We have to check the blood
type.

I'm so sorry.

I shouldn't have left.

I should have been there. Please. I have
no idea that they... Don't torture

yourself.

I'm going to be just fine.

Abrasions. I didn't... But surviving,
Hooker.

I was afraid for my life.

You can't go home.

They're still at large.

Come back with me.

I'm staying at Laura's.

She's waiting for me downstairs.

roll calls, get these distributed.

I'll start working the pawn shops on
Broadway.

Hooker, they may not even pawn the stuff
they took from Terry's place. We won't

know that until you start checking the
pawn shops, will we?

Hey, Hooker.

Prince came back and the guy he traded
shots with last night, named Sonny

Dorothy's big brother.

Any more like him in the family? Not
that we can find, but an associate's

came up with an old Huntsville cellmate
of Unger's named Jesse Simpson.

His mugshot matches the composite.

We still have no idea who number four
is.

Get Simpson's picture on the bulletin
with the others.

I want them.

Hooker, you're driving yourself and the
whole situation into the ground.

Ease up. Just doing the job.

You're forgetting every basic you ever
taught me about rape cases. I'm

forgetting nothing, believe me. No?

What happened to Terry wasn't just a
sexual outrage.

It was a violent and criminal act
against a lady who was terrified for her

Don't you think I know that? Well, do
you?

I know you feel guilty about not being
with her when it happened.

But what's important now is giving Terry
your support.

Terry doesn't want anything from me.

She made that clear last night.

She loves you.

And you have to let her know you feel
the same way because of what did happen

that house.

I can't change what happened, but I sure
can even school.

That's wrong, Hooker.

There's no room in this for revenge.

The hell there isn't.

I'll be back in a minute.

Laura told me you called while I was out
this morning.

The office told me you called back.

I couldn't get to her phone.

Looks like we're missing each other all
the way around.

Are you sure you'll feel up to working
today?

It's all I feel like doing.

I wanted to be with you last night. I
want you to know that.

I didn't think I could handle it.

Laurie and I had a long talk.

She decided to get some counseling.

She's even going to file a complaint
now.

If you ever get them.

I'll get them.

I'll get them if I have to chase them
through every state in the union. I'll

them. And when I do... Stop it!

Before you terrify me more than they do.

Terry, I didn't... I'm sorry.

No.

No.

I'm the one that should be saying that
to you.

Hooker.

Sorry. I just got word that they traced
that safety deposit key on the

Screamshaw ring to a Sammy Lee.

Turns out to be Charlie Wong's cousin.

Either one of them picked up?

Corgan and Stacy brought Lee down to the
station.

Rattled his cage.

Suggested he might be implicated in
murder.

He give us a place to go to pick up
cousin Wong?

He's in a new line of business.

Fencing stolen property.

And one of the bumper robbers could have
traded hot property for the scrimshaw.

Let's roll.

Hooker.

Not for me.

Do it because you're a cop, okay?

Sonny got clipped by a lush, crazy cop
named Hooker.

Man's gonna pay.

Hey, don't you go counting me into no
cop killing, huh?

I'm getting our money. That's it.

Killing a cop ain't gonna bring Sonny
back.

Forget it.

Look at your face and say that.

I don't need to see him dead.

Just make him wish he was.

What are you talking about?

His woman.

Her honey.

You're crazy. I thought you would. You
don't even know where she is right now.

We know where she could be.

Get what the stuff's worth. We'll meet
you back at the motel.

You really gonna do it, huh?

What do you think?

You make a mistake in your offices?

The only mistake around here, Charlie,
is who you're selling your scrimshaws

I don't know what you're talking about.

You can see the business I'm in.

You're going to feel like one of those
hanging by their necks outside.

Unless you tell me where this man is.

All of this is from Terry's house.

Don't lie to me once, Charlie.

Because right now you're looking at a
hell of a lot more than just receiving

stolen goods.

What rocks do I turn over to find the
maggots you bought this property from?

I don't know where any of these things
came from, cop.

I swear, I don't know.

Hands behind your neck.

Place your fingers.

We're going to talk now, dirtbag, about
all your good friends.

Is 4 Adam 30 possible assault in
progress at Jonah's restaurant?

Request backup, Code 3.

Roger, 4 Adam 30.

Hooker, the man could be lying. Go after
her again.

They'd have to trace him. That's exactly
what they are.

Crazy.

Oh, sweetness.

She wants you dead, lady.

Now, why don't you just make it easy on
all of us?

Three to get dead.

Turn over. Hands behind your head.

Hi you guys!

Well? Well, I think it's terrific.

You got something on your mind?

Can we talk?

I try to keep the lines of communication
open all week.

I care very much.

I want you to know that.

You just need more time, Carrie. I
understand.

It's not just time.

I took the job in Connecticut.

How long?

I don't know.

I... I feel as if... a part of me died.

I just need a little time to mourn.

Away from here.

And you, Hooker.

I want you to touch me.

But I don't want to be touched.

I need you, Hooker, but I'm afraid.

Help me.

I'll be here.

See you, Sarge.

Bye.
