Original subtitles

I can do here.

Nothing I can do.

Somebody's coming.

Wallet and watch. Nice and easy now. No big moves. I'll blow your face off. You

got it. You got it. Just take it easy with that thing, okay? Shut up and do

Yes, sir.

Ring two.

There.

Don't... Still.

Yeah. Time to 100.

Do anything stupid, I'll come back and chill you. Okay, yes. 99.

See ya.

Hey lady, give me that purse.

Just saying.

Try to talk it down.

Why everyone bags on my town?

She loves it.

Traffic jam bandit hit in our sector yesterday.

He's robbed ten drivers in the last two weeks. The city wants us to handle this.

They think we should beef up our rush hour patrols. We have the best chance of

getting this guy.

He's a bike cop to catch a bike bandit? What a novel idea.

Don't take this guy too lightly, okay? He's armed and he's dangerous.

Victor's on vacation.

T .C., you and I will work this.

What about us?

Yeah, don't you want us on this?

Uh, I need you somewhere else.

Hooker Patrol?

Sit down, let me finish.

This isn't for vice.

This is a special request directly from Metro.

Oh, really?

I thought that would get your attention.

The thing operation.

Who's the target?

He's a gun runner. His name's Alberto Von Stodd. He's a South American of

European descent.

Interpol tells us he's in town to close a big deal in Santa Monica this week.

Why don't they pick him up?

They don't know what he looks like. Nobody does.

The guy's very cagey. He always deals through a third party.

The only thing we know for sure, There's a guy who likes to stay at the

Mayflower Hotel, and he likes to surround himself with expensive

women. So how do we recognize him?

Interpol intelligence tells us that he has a distinctive tattoo.

An angry panther.

Located where?

On his rear.

His right cheek, to be exact. That's where you two come in. Great. Just

Kelly, you've been harping on me ever since you got here to work with Metro.

Here's your big chance.

As a detective, sir.

Not as a butt checker.

Look, I'm not exactly thrilled by this either. With Victor gone, I have to be

your backup. That means I'm pulling double shifts.

Go and get some rest. We start tonight.

This is your third order this month.

Are you sure that you need all these seats?

Yes, I do, because when the seats we don't use, we sit on.

Okay. Thank you. Well, if you don't need any, you just let us know, because

Helen's will be glad to take them back.

Ah, well, thank you. I mean, I think of you. I mean, I mean, thank you. Thank

you. You're welcome.

Okay.

I'm going to go now.

Bye.

Idiot, idiot, idiot.

I am giving me a tongue lashing. I deserve a tongue lashing in

my own...

Let me guess.

It's about a woman.

It is about Melissa.

I love that woman.

She is the sun, the moon, the stars, the stripes.

And that would explain why we are drowning in a sea of equipment.

Well, I have to, you see. I mean, that's the only way I can get to see her.

So why don't you just ask her out?

I can't. I just can't.

Come on, Elvis.

Aren't you the guy that women leave their husbands for? You know, the

legend?

What's stopping you now? Language. See, in my homeland, with my language, I am

like the gray wild dog.

But here, my amorosity makes me more like the small Mexican hairless.

You must help me.

I don't know, Elvis.

I trust you. I can work with you.

You must help me find...

The word.

The word to who?

My money.

So I'm having lunch with Stephen today.

Stephen? You've been holding out on me?

No, I've mentioned him.

It's just that we've only been dating about a month. A month? That's a record.

What's he like?

You know, I don't know. I mean, we'll...

We're still trying to get to know each other.

Handsome? Oh, yeah.

Uh -huh.

And he's very nice and very funny.

And we have a good time together.

What's he do for a living?

Investment banker.

Oh.

What is that supposed to mean?

How does he feel about you being a cop?

Well, he says he's cool with it. Do I hear a little butt in your voice?

He's a little conservative.

And you think this hooker detail might concern him a little bit?

Exactly. Did he tell you every little thing he does on his job?

No. Then neither do you.

Schedule more meetings on this side of town.

I'd like that.

You know, who went back to your place for... A nooner?

Will we both make it back to work in time?

Well, you know, I'm free all afternoon.

What are you playing, hooky?

I have a new assignment.

I'm going to be working nights this week.

Nights? Oh, I'm going to be so lonely.

Oh, you'll manage.

What's the assignment?

Oh, it's nothing major. Just Chris and I have to fill in for some people who

have the flu.

I do not... want to go back to work today.

I don't want you to go back.

I want to ask you something.

It's nothing like trouble. No, no, no trouble.

Okay, sort of. Look, my parents are coming into town and they really want to

meet you.

Oh, hell.

Well, then why all the drama?

They are ignorant slobs sheltered in country club war.

Okay.

Any other subjects we need to avoid?

Religion.

Politics.

Your job. Hey, is that a whale out there?

You're joking, right?

Honey, don't take this the wrong way.

I know my parents are.

Stephen, I'm proud of what I do.

I am too.

Honey, I want us to happen, okay?

Please, just do this for me. Just this once.

Please.

Okay.

Okay. It's just lunch, right? So, I'm sure we can find something other than my

career to talk about.

Thanks. You're the best.

You better believe it, Buster.

We must clean up pretty good.

This dress hardly covers my backside.

That's the point, isn't it?

Hi. Hi.

A fizzy water, please.

I'll have a ginger ale.

If you just cancel the lunch, I'm so nervous about the whole thing.

Those parents have money. Big deal.

Oh, it's not that. It's just that, uh... Well, Stephen doesn't want me to tell

his parents that I'm a cop.

What if they ask about what you do?

Are you supposed to lie?

No, just avoid the subject.

Is that our guy?

No. Too old.

Chubby with a name tag at 3 o 'clock.

Florma wants us to get rid of this guy quick.

Man, I love California.

The weather is fine and the girls are healthy.

Yes, sirree, they certainly are.

Oh, my God.

Uh, darling, get me one of them white wine Spritzers.

Refresh whatever these two young lovelies are having.

We're buying our own drinks, thank you.

No problemo.

We'll talk money upstairs.

Back up. Look, money is not a problem here.

And hell, with me wound up so tight, it won't take more than a few minutes.

I don't think you understand.

We're just waiting for our friends.

Can those friends pay you 200 each?

Hey, pal.

These girls don't work for looking 2 ,000 a piece.

1 ,000?

These girls are out of your league.

Don't hurt him, Rico. He didn't know.

Oh, Rico, you don't want to do this. You just got out.

Run. For the sake of your family's goal.

I'm sorry to have bothered you.

I didn't mean anything. Get out of here. Okay.

This is going to be a long drink.

2 ,000, huh?

Two lieutenant, that's quite a compliment.

I told you to dump the dead wood.

You going to be able to make it through your shift?

You try being a shipper after pulling a double shift.

You say the older you get, the harder it is. I can still ride you into the dirt.

One Baker 7, 2 -11 in progress.

1 ,700 block of Pacific.

Suspect is a white male on a bicycle.

Two blocks from here.

Edit.

I want to keep right. Right.

You go left. I'm with you.

Who is that guy?

I don't know, but I've seen those moves before.

She's probably just stuck in traffic or something.

Yeah, well, this is the middle of the afternoon. It's hardly rush hour, Steve.

Graham, dear, she's only ten minutes late.

Hi. I'm sorry.

I get hung up.

You're telling my parents what a nightmare LA traffic can be. Yeah.

Corey McNamara, these are my parents.

Graham and Dorothy Armitage.

Nice to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Armitage.

Oh, uh... Pleasure's all ours, dear. Go join us.

Yes, please.

Join us.

My parents are just complaining about the amount of cars on the road. Oh,

really? I thought New York was famous for its traffic.

Well, I always walk everywhere, so I never really noticed.

That must be why you look so young. Oh!

She's too sweet, isn't she? The sweetest. Yes, I'm sure she is.

Dad and Mom are on their way to China.

Oh, really?

How exciting. You know, I've always wanted to travel.

Really? I would have thought you'd been around the world many times by now.

No, I just... Mexico and Europe went.

So, Corrie, tell me, what do you do?

Uh, she works for the city, Dad. Sounds very exciting.

Uh, it can be.

I bet you've met all types, professionally, I mean.

Dad, let's not discuss work today. Let's just order and relax and

get to know one another. Humor me, Stephen. I'm curious what a beautiful

woman does for the city to earn her money.

Well, I guess the same as everyone else. I gotta hustle.

Oh, honey, I'm sorry. Did it go down the wrong pipe?

Oh, sorry.

Would you stop banging me, please? I'm only trying to be helpful. You don't

to bite my head off.

Would you excuse me? I have to pay a visit to the caretaker.

I forgot to leave the heat on so the pipes won't freeze.

Doe, could you join me, please?

and your precious pipes.

Excuse us, kids. We'll be back in a moment.

They love you.

I can tell.

You have finally lost your mind.

I'm telling you, she's a hooker.

How would you know?

Just... Honestly.

I don't know, Elvis. I don't think this is gonna work.

This has to work.

I have to. I cannot spend another moment alone without my Melissa.

Elvis, that's beautiful, man.

You need to tell her that. That's more poetry than anything I could ever come

with.

Good, thanks.

Um, were you able to use all those bike seats?

Uh, no, I wasn't. Elvis, that's loud.

Elvis, not so loud.

I'm... Excuse me, it's just that I'm a little nervous.

Really? Why?

Oh, I've been meaning to ask you out for some time.

So, uh, what stopped you?

I'm a little shoe.

You're a shoe.

Shy. Shy.

I'm a little shy.

Oh, gosh.

That's so sweet.

I would love to go out with you, Elvis.

Are you free tonight?

Well, you're on your own. I mean, you're on your own to be free with me, and I

would love to.

Yes, I'm free tonight to go with you. You out.

My feet are throbbing and my pantyhose are cutting off my circulation.

Well, no one said looking slutty was going to be easy.

So how'd it go at lunch with Stephen's parents?

Okay, I guess.

Stephen seemed to think so.

Would you like to join us?

I'd be delighted.

Drinking alone makes me so gloomy.

Well, we wouldn't want that.

I'm Chris. This is Corrie. Oh, I'm Roger.

I'm here on business.

You two are off to win.

Business? We're in a very personal and expensive business.

What do you do for work, Roger?

Import, export.

Hmm, that sounds exotic.

Perhaps you would like to discuss some other business in private.

Well, Roger, what would you like?

The two of us work together a lot.

If that kind of transaction interests you.

Forgive me, but I can only focus on one exchange at a time.

Salve.

Salve.

This music makes me so hot.

Cleo. No, no, no. Let the music build inside.

We ate this time.

Oh, yeah, I'm burning up, burning up. No, no, no. Let it build until you are

ready to explode.

You have no idea.

All right, Travolta, quiet those hips.

Oh, God.

Oh, don't hurt me. Please.

What do you want?

You want money? Here, take it all. Credit card, everything.

How about a Rolex, huh?

Drop your jewelry.

Please don't kill me.

Just turn around and lift up your shirt. I'm just a dentist from Ohio. I have a

wife and four kids. Shut up. Turn around and lift up your shirt.

Turn around.

Like I told the cops on the scene, the guy had a kerchief covering his face.

If it wasn't for his sunglasses, he'd be right at home robbing stagecoaches in

the Old West.

Welcome to the New West.

Yeah, gives a whole new meaning to being held up in traffic, you know.

Is there anything else you can remember about this guy?

He's a very scary guy.

I mean, he nearly shot me from my wedding ring.

But the joke's on him.

I'm getting a divorce.

I meant distinctive marks, a tattoo, maybe his voice.

No, sorry.

It's kind of hard to think when they shove a gun in your face, you know.

You can vouch for that.

The thing is, I take Speedway all the time, but I've never seen it backed up

like that.

Guess it's my bad luck that truck stalled out.

You're not talking about a green pickup truck, are you? Yeah, it was belching

smoke and steam.

Why don't they just take those old clunkers off the road?

There was a green pickup at our robbery, Tony.

Did you happen to get a license number?

No, sorry.

Maybe somebody else did.

Yeah, especially if it was that all the other robbers.

A green 64 Ford pickup truck. It's a Leo Oliver.

How long does this guy cheat anyway?

Not very.

I did a couple of cents accounting for some petty stuff.

Trolled about three months ago. Ever since then, he's had a clean nose.

I think he's about to get it dirty again.

All available units, proceed to Ocean and Broadway.

Again, look out for a white male suspect, middle to late 20s. He's on a

bike.

Let's move in slow. We don't want to spook him.

Come on, man. Come on. Show your face.

Show your face.

Cowboy. Get away!

Get down!

Step out of the truck.

Now!

I'm betting you stole traffic for all the robberies.

You know, we got witnesses that can place you at at least three of them.

Hey, it's all just an amazing coincidence.

Yeah, you're a real funny guy. I'm breaking up inside here. You know what

happened today?

Somebody took a shot at us. That just upped you to the majors.

You know, county jail is club med compared to the state pen. Of course,

us who your buddy is, and maybe I can make something do for you.

You know what?

You guys got zip.

You either charge me or you let me go.

No, hey Bobby you here wait for me I'll come down

Either

take the ramp was the fun in that

Came back to my

cousin what cut cops showed up remember

It's squat.

You're still on me from the time before.

What did you tell the cops, Leo?

Nothing. I didn't say nothing.

I saw them pick you up.

Yeah, yeah. It was a real drag.

You were in there an awful long time.

A couple of hours.

They were sweating me, but I didn't say nothing.

Damn. You smell bad.

Fear will make you stink, won't it?

Come on, Bobby. I had a rough day.

Truck's in the impound. I need cash to get it out.

Forget it.

Pile of junk.

Hey, there's not a lot of old trucks like old Betsy who, you know, can conk

when you want them to.

That's why I need my cut.

So I can get her out.

Then we can go back to work.

What are you doing, Bobby?

I'm giving you your cut.

A handsome man like you shouldn't drink alone.

Sandy Starr.

And what is your name, honey?

Joe.

Joe Bonducci.

Really?

Any relation to the...

New York fondue cheese?

No.

Poor thing.

So, uh, Joe, why don't you tell Fandy your life story? The, uh, she's

got all night.

And so I better show up.

I'm running out of little numbers, if you know what I mean.

Oh,

just shoot me now. What?

What's wrong?

Stephen's father just walked in.

Quick, quick, just go to the bathroom. Watch my purse.

Dorothy.

Hey. Dorothy.

Did you see that?

What? It was her.

It was Stephen's girlfriend.

Graham, I told you, I will not discuss this ridiculous fantasy with you again.

I'm telling you, it was her. And she was dressed up just like a streetwalker.

Stop it. Our son would not date a prostitute. Toad? What? Go see for

She's in the ladies' room.

I'm certainly not.

All right, all right, fine, fine. Well, we'll just wait right here until she

comes out.

Good. You have finally gone completely mad.

If you want to stand here and ogle the women going in and out of the toilet,

that's your prerogative. I am going back to the room. You have humiliated me

enough for one evening.

So tell me, is there, uh, Mrs.

Bonducci?

Actually, there is.

Well, I don't see a wedding ring, so it has to be your mother.

Oh, my God.

That was close.

I don't think they saw you. You practically flew into the room.

Do you think that we should help?

May I join you?

Please, join us.

Hi, I'm Corrie.

Corrie. Who are you?

George. Nice to meet you, George.

Amara. Amara.

Are you ladies here on business?

We're in entertainment.

Do you work together?

Sometimes.

But we're also available for solo.

Would you like to be entertained, George?

Not tonight.

Unfortunately, I have some business to take care of.

Oh, that's too bad.

I could have guaranteed a good night's rest.

Tomorrow would be better.

Perhaps you'll both be free.

Not free, but available.

Until tomorrow.

This is 1 Baker 7 responding to a DB on the pier.

There it is.

Fox, you want to step back, please?

Anybody try and clear a path?

All right, give us some room.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Looks like Leo had a good reason to be afraid.

Yeah, there goes our only link to the bandit.

Maybe not.

I wonder if that truck's still in the impound.

Hey, Lieutenant.

Hey, forensics came up with a hit for our bandit.

Printing Leo's truck was a good idea.

Yeah, I would have thought of it sooner if I wasn't so tired.

Our bad guy is one Robert the Rocket Richling. The Rocket?

I knew I'd seen those moves before.

You know this guy?

Well, not really. I know of him.

Actually, he used to be a pretty big fan.

Bobby Richling was one of the most talented riders on the pro circuit until

kicked him off.

What for?

For not showing up for competitions, assaulting a judge, and finally for

drugs. Shame, too, because he was silk on the bike.

In his prime, nothing could stop him.

Except the drugs.

Yeah, you'll see in there he's got multiple arrests for possession of

meth. Great, a meth user.

Those guys that kill you just for looking at them funny.

Buddy, it's me.

Titi. Relax.

Oh, my.

I am so ashamed I fell asleep on duty.

If this was the army, I'd be shot.

Wow. Tough army.

Hey, so tell me, huh?

How are things between you and Melissa?

It's hell.

Hell. Seven times.

Seven times. She did it last night.

She said to me, seven. I said, no. No, Melissa. Five is my limit. But she

wouldn't listen.

Oh, my.

What are they? feed you in the homeland oh you've got to help me you've got to

get me out of this oh wait a minute elvis huh wait a minute i already did my

part right and for that i will be grateful for the rest of my life

and at the rate i'm going i should be dead in a half hour well have

you tried to just say no

Give it some time, little buddy. Maybe you can just gracefully fade out of her

life. Maybe.

But she moved in last night.

You got problems, Elvis.

You got problems.

You wanted to dance?

Do you mean together?

Together, separately.

Makes no difference to me.

I want to dance.

I like to watch.

Sure.

I'll be more fun if you dance with me. Come on.

Up close and personal.

You like it, huh?

You like it, huh? Yeah.

Am I doing?

Oh, sandwich.

What are you doing?

Hey,

kitty kitty.

I see you found my little friend.

I certainly did.

It's a wild cat, man.

Free police!

Great choice. I love them. Your wine is pretty good, too. Excuse me.

So what time is Boogie Mike's coming by in the morning? I don't know.

Got him! Got him! I'm with you.

Tom Taylor!

Alberto Marstad, you're under arrest for the sale of a legal weapon.

What a pleasant surprise.

What?

Cup them.

When the robberies began six weeks ago, they were happening about once every

eight days.

But in the last week, the time between robberies is down to just about once

every three days.

So how did it go with Stephen and his parents afterwards?

Good. Ladies, do you mind?

Sorry.

Which means that Bobby can't go as long between fixes anymore.

So I figure he's got to hit within the next day or two.

And since he doesn't have Leo in his green truck, that means he's going to

to rely on our regular traffic bottlenecks here, right here, and here.

We'll have to split up in two teams to cover it all.

So Chris, you and Corey get caught up to speed as soon as you can, and you'll

cover down here.

Lieutenant and I will cover the rest.

Nice work, TC.

Thanks for picking up the slack.

All right, let's hit the street.

Let's go.

Come on, come on.

Get it. Give me the watch. Come on.

What are you doing?

Now you think that I create my own evil view of the world. Turn inside itself.

Inside the mighty green dollar.

Backspin. Rolling over the snail darter to make.

24 little children can become wired with attention deficit disorder?

You probably think, except I doubt you seriously ever think, that you ever

really think.

Stay with us, E .T.!

Think from rolling in your own excesses. Mountains of plastic oil wood hacked

from thousand -year -old redwood trees to make your patio chairs so you can

drink and postulate.

So derange theory of your self -worth and design by imitating one of your

influences through TV series inspired by what you dress and eat.

of the week.

Corrupting control by domination.

Just enough dough to keep control.

Just enough dough to keep control.

Just enough dough to keep control.

Now live it.

So long, sucker!

You're under arrest.

Put your hands where I can see them.

So he's playing, Lieutenant.

So did you hear from Steven yet?

No. I'm sure I can kiss that one goodbye.

Oh, maybe not.

See you later.

These are for you.

Thank you.

You look so surprised.

It's just that after last night, I thought... Oh, are you kidding?

The look on my parents' face was priceless.

Yeah, I guess it was pretty funny, huh? No, no, it was epic.

You sitting on top of that guy with your dress up around your waist.

By the way, you still have that outfit?

Shut up.

I have the handcuffs.

It's nice to see romance when not now, man.

Elvis.

Elvis, where are you?

Melissa? Hi, have you guys seen Elvis?

No, no, I can't say that I have. It's strange, he was right here.

Do you want to give him a message?

Yes, if you guys could please...

Tell him to hurry home because I have something very special planned for this

evening. And please tell him not to be afraid.

What was that all about?

That's romance.

Don't try to talk it down.

Why, everyone went to my town.

The fantasy, it worked for me.

Take a look around, just another day.

See, more than me, anybody thinks he is free.

Someday.

What if it sounds just another day?
