Original subtitles

Get me a jockey and some fucking bastard money. Get easy, lady.

Get me money.

I'll show you how.

And I thought the women I date were a problem.

I think you blackface are tough.

I'm going to break your faces when I get out of here.

Yeah, okay. We'll get back to you on that.

Well, your test results confirm my suspicions about the symptoms you've

having lately.

So it's just a temporary thing, right?

Well, yes and no.

Should I be sitting down?

You are sitting down.

Actually, there's a good book I'll give you that explains your condition.

It's called What to Expect When You're Expecting. Wait.

You mean, congratulations, Corey, you're going to have a baby.

I take it this parenthood wasn't something that you planned.

Perhaps you'd like to talk with the counselor about your options.

No, no, I really want this baby.

And the father, do you think he'll feel the same way? I don't know.

What I mean is, how far along am I?

About two months.

Well, to be perfectly honest, I don't know who the father is.

It could be one of two guys.

She could have bought the damn tools, but no.

The crazy body -building cletho had to steal and get caught.

So now, after all this planning, we've got to walk away from this job.

And pass up a cool million in uncut stone?

What, are you crazy?

We stick to the plan.

Are we forgetting one little minor detail?

Tanya's the only one who knows how to get through the vault. She can't do that

very well from behind bars, can she?

Then we'll just have to get her out from behind bars, won't we? With what, a get

-out -of -jail -free card?

Maybe.

District Attorney's Office.

Please leave a message.

Hey, Will, it's me, Corey.

Listen, I need to talk to you about something.

Something really, really important. So, uh, please call me back as soon as you

can, alright?

Thanks.

Don't try to talk it down, why everyone bags on

my town.

Stand and see, it works for me.

Take a look around,

just another day in LA.

People than me.

Anybody thinks he is free.

Stop it.

What is down?

Just another day.

Okay, let me see if I've got this straight. You were bringing in a perp

caught bringing into an industrial supply house. Perp doesn't adequately

describe. Who then proceeded to single -handedly kick both your butts along

two other uniforms. Oh, and did I mention she was a woman?

Excuse me, this was no ordinary female, okay? Of course not. I mean, what

ordinary woman would possibly be a match for two big, strong, macho guys like

yourselves, right?

Hey, anybody seen Sergeant McNamara?

Bonnie, her boyfriend just called asking the same question.

Will Blake?

Yeah, said that she left a message and found it urgent. Yet she hasn't returned

any of his pages.

Um, I think she mentioned something about her doctor's appointment, but that

hours ago.

Hello?

Ah, hey, Lieutenant.

Sergeant McNamara on line one.

Her ears are burning.

Don't tell me there was a big sale at the mall on you. TC?

Recognize her voice?

Who is it?

Now you know she's alive.

As long as you cooperate, do exactly as you're instructed, it'll stay that way.

We need an emergency trace on this now.

On the other hand, if outside police units or the FBI are brought in, we'll

start sending her to you in pieces. Is that clear?

What do you want?

Very simple. A trade.

Release Tanya Sweet, the woman you arrested earlier, and your sergeant goes

free. How do I know she's okay? I want to talk to her. It's now 10 a .m.

I'll call back in one hour to make the arrangements.

You just can't expect... Don't disappoint me.

Hello?

Hello?

See how easy that was?

It's just a matter of finding a weak spot.

What you said about cutting her up. You weren't serious.

We'll have our eighth safe cracker back in no time.

You didn't answer my question.

Lock her up in the back room.

Come on.

Why would they want this girl released so bad that they would kidnap a cop?

Right now, it doesn't matter. Our priority is getting Sergeant McNamara

alive and in one piece.

In an hour.

Shouldn't we call the FBI?

Not yet. I don't want this turning into a circus if we can help it. Strickland,

talk to Will Blake. Find out exactly what the sergeant said when she left

message. Right.

Granger, get the incoming phone tape re -recorded. Have the lab man analyze the

kidnapper's voice on it. Right. I'm also going to do a background check on this

Tanya suite. Maybe there's a clue there on who would want her free.

You want me to interrogate her, Lieutenant?

No. Actually, I'd prefer to do it myself.

What are you going to do? Try to beat a confession out of me?

Newsflash. It's going to take more than three of you clowns. I get right to the

point.

I recommend that the burglary charges be reduced to petty theft if you tell me

who it is.

Who what is?

Your accomplice. Your boyfriend.

Whoever the hell wants you out of here so bad.

What if you do? Threaten to blow up the station?

Must have been something real bad and ugly or you wouldn't be trying to butter

me up now, would you? Give me a name, Tonya.

No problem.

First name is up, last name is yours.

I don't think you appreciate how miserable I can make your life.

Stop.

You're turning me on.

For starters, I'll make it my personal mission in life to see to it that you're

denied bail.

Then after all the continuances, refused with the plea bargain, you'll be old

and gray before you even get to trial.

You win.

I'm listening.

Can I ask a favor first?

These cuffs are too tight. I'm hurting my hands.

Come on, I'm not asking you to take them off. Just loosen them a bit.

Thanks.

Like miserable?

Miserable like this?

You and me, huh?

Come on.

Come on, let's go.

You don't like that, do you?

Don't worry, it'll be over soon.

Hey, you like pepperoni?

I'm not hungry.

McNamara.

I had a crush on a girl in high school, same last name, Lisa McNamara.

Broke my heart.

Was there a specific reason why you targeted me? Or was I just some random

Come on, you gotta eat.

I assume this whole thing was your partner's idea. When he talked you into

did he tell you how serious this is?

How you could get life in prison for kidnapping?

I know what you're trying to do, but it won't work. And killing a cop.

That's special circumstances.

That's the death penalty.

Now, I know this woman may mean that much to him, but does she mean that much

you? You're not going to die.

And as for the kidnapping part, it's a little late in the game to be thinking

about that.

Not necessarily.

If you let me go, I guarantee you will not get prosecuted.

Yeah, right.

I swear to you.

I give you my word.

Oh, excuse me.

I'm sorry. Am I interrupting something?

I was just bringing her some food.

She's a hostage.

Not your girlfriend.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means you better keep your head on straight and stick to the plan or she's

not going to be the only one with a problem.

You know, Officer Strickland, I got an urgent message from Sergeant McNamara.

Any idea what it was about?

No, sir.

Well, it better be important. I had my judge of choice set for a prelim in the

Rudy Scruggs case.

I'm sure Lieutenant Calloway will explain.

Why don't you give me a hint?

It's not my job, sir.

You know, officer, there's an old axiom among lawyers.

Never ask a question you don't want the answer to.

You know, Calloway's got some nerve sending you to question me. Yes, sir.

Why don't you just wait right here and I'll go get him.

Wait here?

Outside? Are you kidding me? Where is he? He'll be right down.

I'm getting the distinct impression you don't want me to go in.

Officer Strickland, step aside.

I can't do that, sir. That's an order, officer.

This is ridiculous. I'm gonna get to the bottom of this.

Okay, we got five minutes till they call again.

There's nothing on the tape yet. Lab's still working on it. What about the

background check on Tonya?

Tonya's got a record a mile long.

Jewelry store, bank robberies.

But all her known associates are behind bars.

Where is she?

Strickland! I tried to stop him. First, Corey won't return my calls. Then

Officer Strickland comes to question me.

What the hell's going on here? I'm gonna need you to leave the room. The hell I

will. It's a police matter, and since you're a DA, Blake, what has happened to

her?

Kellaway here.

TC, it's me.

Cora, you okay?

Don't worry, she's fine.

For now.

Let her go, and then we'll talk.

No deal, like I told you, as soon as our friend is free.

You know I can't authorize that. Even if I could. You can and you will, or I'll

hang up this phone and put a bullet in the back of your sergeant's pretty

neck.

All right, I'm willing to negotiate, but I'm going to need some time, get my

superiors to sign off.

You're trying my patience.

A few hours.

That's all I'm asking for.

Okay, I'll give you two, after which if Tanya isn't released, it won't matter

anymore. Do I make myself clear?

According to this, they're somewhere in Pennsylvania.

He must be using some sort of high -tech scrambling device.

Corey was kidnapped and you weren't going to tell me? Look, I realize you've

a personal stake here. Where the hell's the FBI?

And you know damn well the brass won't agree to negotiate with hostage takers.

Like I said, this is a police matter, which makes it our concern, not yours.

if you really care about Corey, you let us handle it!

Two hours and counting.

Tanya has to know who's behind this.

Great. So all we got to do is get inside of her head.

Dream on, pal.

Maybe there's another way.

Come on.

Only one phone call, lady.

Next time you might want to make it to your lawyer instead of your pimp.

Hey, what am I getting out of here?

Oh, gee.

I don't know, Tanya.

Did you take a number?

Come here and say that, you son of a bitch.

I love you too, baby.

Have a nice day.

Ever hear that old joke, what do you call a hundred cops at the bottom of the

ocean?

What? A good start.

Yeah, I just talked to a homeless guy who claimed he saw two men throwing a

woman into a van.

Did he give you a description?

Only of the rot gut he was drinking.

A cop is grabbed in broad daylight. Someone had to see it happen.

And then you took the pig and put him in a scissor hole? The way, come on.

I would have killed him, too, if the other two whips you had jumped in.

No, still nothing, Lieutenant.

Okay, keep me informed.

Strickland, that goes for you, too. And remember, people, we only have 90 more

minutes until they call again.

87, to be exact.

You know, if I were you, I'd be asking for all the help I could get. You're not

me. I'm a cop.

You're a district attorney.

Well, considering I have access to information you don't, I'd say a DA is

exactly what you need.

Information such as?

Try field discovery records for the defense in a prior case Tanya Sweet was

tried for.

Records which include the names of alibi witnesses, one of whom might be trying

to get her released.

I can't wait to get out of this dump.

Who's your old man, David Copperfield?

That's the best thing.

Someone who's got something to pressure the cops with.

And what's that?

I don't know.

Probably something he overheard when they were hanging at a shop.

He owns a shop?

Where all the little piggies go to wash the donuts down.

A coffee shop.

He owns the one at the end of Main Street.

Callaway.

Yeah, I know the place. It's called Donut Haven.

Right. I want you and Granger for backup. Have Strickland meet us there.

I'm coming. Hell, you are.

Someone's life is on the line.

Someone I care about.

I understand that. Still doesn't make you a cop.

The owner, where is he?

Please, I didn't do anything.

Just tell me where the owner is.

You're looking at him.

Oh, man.

That was the FBI.

It's about time.

When are they taking over?

Six hours.

Excuse me? I have a friend over there. He agreed to give me that long before he

has to report the situation.

You realize you're breaking every rule?

Not to mention you'll probably get fired for what you're doing.

Someone's life is on the line.

Someone I care about?

Hi again.

I know you're scared, but you feel better if you eat.

Please leave me alone.

Just a few bites. Come on.

I'll feed you.

What's this?

It just came up by itself.

You lying whore!

Right here.

Three alibi witnesses were called to testify on Tanya's behalf.

One's in Soledad for armed robbery.

The other two?

At large.

One in three states.

You can ID me now, which is really bad.

Because it means we can't let you go.

Where are you going?

Where do you think?

Please don't tell him. You know what he'll do to me. You should have thought

about that before you pulled the blindfold up.

Wait!

I'm pregnant.

You're lying again!

No, I swear. I just found out this morning.

Please.

For the sake of my child's life, please don't tell him.

Don't tell me what?

All right, keep looking. Make sure every patrol officer, bike unit, squad car,

as well as the LAPD has shots.

What? I can't help wondering what she's going through right now.

This isn't just someone you're dating.

You're really in love with her.

Aren't you?

Excuse me?

I've seen the way you look at her.

In fact, I keep wondering if anything's ever happened between you two.

Look, we work together. She's my ex -wife's best friend.

So you're saying the answer is no?

You've never been romantically involved?

Good news, I gotta leave.

Come on, let's hear it. What am I not supposed to know?

That she's scared.

Yeah, the pitch was just boning about how she can't stop shaking.

She has good reason to be scared.

Come on, we have a phone call to make.

First time I heard it, it just sounded like feedback.

Then, I had the lab run through a nightly.

There we go.

Railroad crossing?

Check the time on the call with the train dispatcher.

The only train that hit a crossing at that exact moment is right there.

So Corey's somewhere in the vicinity of 10th and Briggs.

Yeah, but where?

We've only got 30 minutes before the kidnappers call again.

Why don't you get out there with Cruz and Strickland? You know what to do.

Don't you worry, we're going to find her.

Speaking of the kidnappers, what are you planning to tell them this time?

Ask me in 30 minutes.

I said I wanted this line kept clear. Are we ready to roll?

You said two hours. It's only been an hour and a half.

Well, which was more than enough time to make the necessary arrangements. Now,

you listen carefully to my instructions.

There's been a slight complication.

What do you mean, complication?

It's nothing serious, just to use your red tape. But don't worry, the minute is

straightened out. The attempts to stall aren't part of the program.

What you need is a little reminder, say the sound of your sergeant being

relieved of one of her fingers.

This is Deputy District Attorney Will Blake. The delay is my fault.

Who the hell are you and what are you talking about?

The police department has an ironclad policy against negotiating with hostage

takers. That's why Lieutenant Calloway has asked me to bypass the system by

refusing to file charges against Tanya Sweet pending further investigation.

So what's the problem?

Not filing requires paperwork.

Paperwork takes time.

You actually expect me to believe this crap?

We're talking a couple more hours, Max, to ensure that Tanya won't be hunted as

a fugitive after she's been released.

Lieutenant Calloway has also authorized me to grant you full unconditional

immunity in this matter, provided, of course, that you release Sergeant

unharmed. Yeah, like he can really do that.

Actually, he can.

It's an emergency police power called a writ of pardon. It's already been

signed. You know, if this is some kind of trick... No trick, I swear it.

Okay, listen, you tell Calloway he's got two more hours, but that's it. No more

extensions. A minute later, I'll drop her fingers off at the front door.

rid of pardon never heard of it because i just made it up since we're playing

high stakes poker i'll take another shot at tanya

hi

remember me

Gee, I'm not sure.

I should get a little closer so I can get a better look.

Before you try your thymaster routine again, I thought you'd be interested in

knowing that your partners were just arrested by pulling off a jewel heist

without you.

I think I'm supposed to know what you're talking about.

Matter of fact, not only did they try and cut you out of the operation, but

fingered you in several other robberies in exchange for reduced sentences.

Don't listen to him, girlfriend. He is bluffing.

Tell me what I want to know, Tanya, or you'll spend a whole lot longer behind

bars than you ever imagined.

Oh, he's full of it. You know that's not true. They would have marched them

right through here. This pig is a liar.

Let's try it, Tonya.

I'll kill you.

By the way, I think you broke a nail.

Get out of here.

Serious long shot here. There's got to be 25 warehouses within earshot of the

railroad tracks.

That's if they're even in L .A. That call could have come from Orange County,

Riverside, or even further out. You know what really bothers me?

I mean, as a cop, you always just have to wait and react.

It's like playing football, and your team's always on defense.

I mean, once in a while, you've got to intercept and score.

Yeah, but you've got to wait for the bad guy to make a move, and then you do

something. You know, just once, I like to take the war to the bad guys.

Kick some perp's ass before he kicks mine.

Careful, Russ.

It's a short walk from that kind of thinking to becoming a vigilante or

something worse.

Yeah, well, if the shoe fits.

Now that's the ignorant side of your family's gene pool talking again.

You think that's what Corey feels right now? I mean, they take one of ours so

they can spring up some hyperinflated Schwarzenegger ad?

Well, we are pretty vulnerable.

Pretty vulnerable?

We're like ducks in a shooting gallery. We don't get a move until after the

crack of the rifle.

Well, guess what, Rumi? That rifle cracked an hour ago.

What are you doing? They're going to keep stalling. I can feel it. Unless we

send them a message that shows we're serious.

You can't just cut off her finger.

Oh, yeah? Watch me.

You keep her quiet. I'll handle it.

Hey!

Hi.

I'm the landlord. Can I help you? Hi, I'm Sims. This is Russell.

We're building inspectors for the city of Santa Monica.

Would you mind if we took a look inside?

You're lucky you caught me.

I only come by once a week just to check on the place for the owner.

So you say the place has been empty for six months?

Mm -hmm.

We have all our permits.

I'd be happy to show them to you if you like.

No, that's okay. Actually, our main concern today is with fire safety,

Any space that they might be hiding? What's that?

What? It's just the storeroom.

Anything in it?

Not that I know of.

Here, I'll open for you.

I

could

have sworn this was the key.

I have the master in my office down the street.

Would you like me to go get it?

What do you think?

No, that's okay, I guess.

Sorry to bother you.

No bother.

Chris, TC.

I hate to call under bad circumstances.

I sure hate to leave this kind of news on a machine.

Don't worry.

I'm okay, and there's nothing that you need to do.

But it's about Corey.

About an hour ago, someone snatched her and is demanding an exchange for a perp

we're holding in lockup.

Now, I've already notified your bureau out here in Los Angeles, but I guess for

now it's still under my watch.

Listen, it's too early to tell how this thing's going to play out.

Corey is a friend of yours, and I thought you'd want to know about it.

I really wish you were out here.

Sure could use a support.

Yeah, I wouldn't eat it either if I was you.

I mean, the way these creeps are trying to get you to talk, it's probably

drugged or something.

Why ain't you eating yours?

I don't know. I'm not hungry.

I'm on a diet.

Besides, I have to maintain my figure for business, you know.

You want it?

If you don't.

Be my guest.

52 minutes.

I've only got 52 minutes.

Releasing Tanya Sweet is our only real hope of getting Corey back alive.

There is no guarantee that releasing Tanya will work. The minute they know

she's free, they'll kill Corey. You can't be sure of that.

Besides, Counselor, you said it yourself.

You know the brass won't agree to a hostage release for fear of the

it'll set. Yeah, but what if letting Tanya go wasn't a hostage release? Who

you trying to kid? It is what it is, okay? We both know you made up the writ

pardon thing. But not the rest of it. Deferring Tanya's case pending further

investigation, I can make that happen right now.

Look, Lieutenant, I understand losing a fellow police officer can be hard, but

put yourself in my shoes.

I'm losing someone I love.

Someone I've been physically intimate with.

Believe me, I can relate completely.

No, you can't. Not completely.

Yes, Counselor, I can.

Will!

Will! Will! Please give me a chance to explain.

Lieutenant Calloway, come in.

Cruz? You better get back here right away.

What happened to you, Joey?

Used to be I could count on you, but ever since we grabbed this bitch...

pregnant. Oh, right. What?

As in having a kid? You've heard of that, right?

Oh, a woman cop afraid for her life tells you she's pregnant and you believe

her. Trust me, I'd know if she were lying to me. Oh, so I guess we should

let her go then, right?

Forget about the diamonds and Tanya. I didn't say that!

Tie -chain drill bite.

Bits. They'll get through most balls.

One of those really tough jobs.

Eating high -speed gas off.

Wow. That is totally cool.

I mean, who doesn't like diamonds, right?

Oh, yeah.

Rocks.

Rocks.

Anything else you want to tell me, Joey?

Like what?

Oh, like why you didn't mention that she got a look at you? Or didn't you think

that was important?

Big mistake, Joe.

Big mistake.

No!

Hey, I have an idea.

Why don't you introduce me to these two cute guys you do all this stuff with?

Adam and Joey?

Yeah, Adam and Joey. You know, where are they now?

It's your hangout warehouse.

Oh, that's like a warehouse or something?

Right.

Hey, Tonya, come on, talk to me. Where can we find it?

Janium drill pits.

There's definitely a way to go.

It's big.

What else?

It's empty.

Is there an address or something?

Come on, come on.

Drink. A drink?

You want a drink? If you tell me the address, I'll get you some water right

Oh, on the door, silly.

It says drink on the door.

Give me Granger and Strickland. She said drink?

Wait, we checked that place an hour ago. There's a sign on the door.

It's on 10th, south of the track. Send backup. We're on our way.

Don't change your plan. We're moving. And if I do so much as a sound edit, you

would be the last to make.

Just another few blocks.

Me too.

All right, we'll go in this way. I'll go around front.

Be careful, guys. Remember who's in there.

Yeah, it's definitely him.

The other one must have been driving the van.

From the looks of the back room, there must have been some kind of a fight.

It's possible the charges got away.

No, she would have checked in by now.

The more likely scenario is that Adam Beckwith killed his partner and took her

somewhere else just to be safe.

Well, at least that means he's still alive.

Yeah, but for how long?

According to my clock, you should have called 23 minutes ago.

I've got 24.

Cruz?

Now watch this stop.

I think I'll keep it that way until this is over.

Calloway. Why hasn't Tanya been released yet?

Where are you?

Now, there's an interesting question.

One you wouldn't be asking unless you found the warehouse.

In fact, I'll bet you're there right now, aren't you? Is she okay?

I want to talk to her. Two more hours, no extensions. Remember me saying that?

You put her on the phone.

Wouldn't do any good.

She's out cold from the morphine I had to give her after I cut off her finger.

What did you say?

Don't act so surprised. It's not like I didn't warn you.

And since my words obviously weren't having any effect... You're bluffing.

Am I?

I sent it to you in a gift box half an hour ago. It's probably sitting on your

desk as we speak.

Now, would you like to go back and take a look first, or are you finally ready

to cooperate?

Just you and me.

No tricks.

I give you Tanya, you bring me Sergeant McNamara.

Deal.

Where?

Tanya will know.

Oh, and Calloway, if anyone else shows up, if I even smell another cop within a

five -mile radius, I will do things for your sergeant that will make her beg me

to kill her.

Hi, Tanya.

Hungry?

You're a cop?

I know. You're going to kick my butt, right?

Or is it you're going to break my face this time?

Yes. You're being released.

You do it.

Nice and tight.

People came through, huh?

You knew it.

Put her in an unmarked car, no bugs, no radio contact, and no one follows.

Aren't you taking her yourself?

Let's check something in my office first.

You try anything.

Oh, me?

Casey. Who are you?

You came alone, no tricks, right?

As we agreed.

Okay, let her go.

No way.

You first.

No.

We'll do it at the same time.

You okay?

Not me. I was talking about your leg.

I'll be all right.

I'll be all right.

Thank God it's over.

Like hell it is.

You're a dead man.

I'm killing you with my bare hands.

you go, Granger. Aren't you glad you didn't go cowboy on me? Yeah, why should

be? We saved the sergeant. We've got two perps in county and one in the morgue.

And Corey has a trauma to carry for life and TC has a compound bullet wound in

his leg.

Those are hazards of the job. We played by the rules and we achieved justice.

If Adam Beckwith dies and Tanya Sweet goes into a lifelong coma, then we'll

about justice.

What do you think she wants to talk about?

The weather.

All right, fine. We'll just wait till she gets here.

Look, she probably wants to tell me to butt out of her life.

She wants to do it in front of you to make sure that everything is perfectly

clear. Or the other way around.

Counselor, I hope you don't feel obligated to tell her that I told you

little indiscretion.

Is that how you think?

No, but I'm afraid that's all she thinks of me.

Hi.

Hey, where's Vernon, huh?

Hey, no, no, no, you can't have a guy with glasses on.

Technically,

they're still on my head.

So when you guys are done bantering, you want to tell us what it is we're doing

here?

Well, I think that I should tell you.

Um, I think that you both should know.

What I'm trying to say is... Thank you.

Thank you.

For saving my life.

That's what you wanted to tell us?

What were you expecting?

How does a girl get a drink around here?

Something non -alcoholic.

Look, stand and see, it works for me.

Take a look around,

just another day in L .A.

Anybody,

if he's older than me.

Anybody thinks he is free?

Someday.

One air let down, just another day.
