Original subtitles

I need to get some cash.

Are you sure that's a good idea?

Well, if you want to go to Viceroy's and sip brandy and smoke cigars, yes it is.

Not only do they not take American Express, they don't take Visa or

either. Well, why don't we just go to the branch over on Wilshire?

Because it's over on Wilshire.

Besides, if you were an ATM bandit, would you choose me to pick on?

Need help with the transaction?

I'll punch in the amount for you.

Somebody help!

What's your maximum?

Up yours.

Somebody please call 911!

You are one noisy chick.

There. That's better.

Got a love of yuppie.

People that me Anybody Thinks me is free

Stop that Put

it down Just another day, oh

ATM ban is struck again last night.

I can't believe that with all the press on this thing that people are still

using ATMs at night. She's trying to talk the banks into a dust -a -don

What, and give up their nighttime ATM business?

So what's the plan, Lieutenant?

The former white stakeout. Every bank within a mile of the beach starting

tonight. Tonight? It's Friday.

What, you got a hot date?

Please, don't make me cry.

Listen, guys, be extra careful out there tonight.

It's a full moon and every loose screw on the left coast will be out howling.

Come on, Corey, quit having that old superstition.

Hey, say what you like, but I've seen a lot of weird things happen on this day.

Listen, you guys go home and get some rest.

You're going to be pulling an all -nighter at first class in Santa Monica.

Victor,

what the hell's going on back there?

You've got to see this, Lieutenant.

This is Daphne Bliss at the Santa Monica Courthouse, where the L .A. Press Corps

is in a meeting to see the likes of which we haven't seen since yesterday at

O .J. Simpson trial.

Inside, so -called Dixon of Venice, Layla Stein, is being charged with

masterminding a ring of high -priced call girls.

You feel that trauma?

It's all the guys from the Bill and the Country Club shaking. Allegedly, Layla's

been running her stable of gorgeous young women, most of them barely out of

their teens, from her luxury car. You know, I saw a couple of the girls once

La Place Chinoise. They are gorgeous. Sources tell me that over the last year,

Layla has become the person to see if you want the companionship of a

young woman.

Sources also tell me that Layla boasts a number of L .A.'s most rich and

powerful men among her clientele, and their names are contained in a little

black book, which is reportedly now in the hands of the Santa Monica police.

Here comes Layla now.

Layla, is it true that you're running a call girl ring? No comment. I have no

comment at all.

All right, don't you people have anything better to do? We're just trying

stay on top of current affairs, so to speak.

Welcome to our home for the next eight hours.

Me dumpster, you two dumpster.

Very elegant.

How did you get it so clean?

I had the garbage company switch out for a new one. The old one was pretty rank.

That was very thoughtful. Thank you.

Want a snack?

Yeah.

Crab cakes from Dominic's?

Bobby, San Francisco pickles, these are my favorites. How'd you know?

What, do you think I never see what you eat?

Well, you know, I think of steak houses.

I'm freezing to death and having to relieve myself in a paper cup.

Why do you always give me more information than I want or need?

This is perfect.

I mean, dumpster and all, this is better than some of the dates I've been on

lately. Your dates?

Are you forgetting that the last guy I kissed, I arrested?

Sorry.

It's okay. It is funny.

Now, Wakefield still sends me postcards wanting me to join him.

I can't believe it.

Maybe we should check the perimeter.

Right.

Ever regret not sailing off to paradise with Wakefield?

So I could wait for someone out of his past to show up and blow him away?

I don't think so.

Same thing as being in a relationship with a cop.

Yeah.

You ever think about getting married?

I thought about it once.

Now, I don't know.

How about you?

I don't think most guys' idea of the little woman includes a 9mm.

9mm or not, I don't see you being any guy's little woman.

How can anything so gorgeous bring out so much lunatic behavior?

What are we, two -thirds water and the moon controls the tides?

All black and white Pacific Blue units proceed to oceanfront walk at Hermosa on

a 2 -11.

Officer -involved shooting.

This is 2 -PB -7 responding.

Ben, how's Crager? Bad. I came in no light. It's like the guy was waiting for

it. Where'd he go?

That way. Then poof, gone.

You can check that one out. I'm coming with you. Stay with him.

Yes, sir, Sergeant.

You sure you couldn't have escaped the way Ben said?

There was nothing back there except one tight alley and another unit had the far

-in seal.

It's okay.

I wrote in here that we should put an APB out for Harry Houdini.

Hey, I'm sorry I pulled rank out there last night.

Being sergeant is still kind of new to me.

I mean, I could have stayed with the downed suspect.

Hey, good news.

The banks are giving us the after -door curfew.

Takes a cough getting shot to make them change their mind?

Any word on Krager? He's still in ICU.

It looks better than it did last night.

You two are back at First Trust, and there's a chopper on hold for this case.

Call it in if you need it.

Here's your report from last night. They'll be looking for it.

Thanks.

What are you doing here, Harrison?

How'd you get in?

Stealth, Tony.

Where is it this time? Another I .A. witch hunt?

No, nobody knows I'm here, and I prefer to keep it that way. Don't tell me

you're sticking your neck out for me.

All you want from the Savage case.

I'm here to retire a debt.

You must be offering a pretty heavy payback, huh?

I think you have a problem.

Yeah? Your name was in Layla Stein's black book.

That's impossible.

I saw it there myself.

You saw my name in Layla Stein's black book?

Yeah, and the chief was nothing too thrilled about it. The chief knows?

Tony, this is dangerous stuff.

Career ending?

I get the picture. But I swear to you, I have no idea why my name would be in

that book.

Uh -huh. Look, Harrison, I've never met the woman.

What about any girls who work for her? No, absolutely not, period.

End of discussion.

Said to make sure.

What's that?

Isaiah Rock's Layla's book.

Is that your number?

Yeah.

Can I hold on to this?

That's why I brought it.

Thanks, Fred.

Now I owe you.

Good luck.

Lieutenant, here's the file you wanted.

All right.

Thank you.

Looks like our boy is night shift's problem.

Hey, just jinxed us.

Now he's bound to show.

Ever think about that night that we were undercover at the hotel?

Not really.

And it was two nights.

Be careful.

It's softer than people think.

Yes, I know.

You want to explain that?

All Pacific Blue units proceed to 4th and Westminster.

211 in progress at 8 p .m.

Suspects seem fleeing south on foot.

2PB7 responding.

Something we could do now.

Oh, well, my elbow's a little stiff.

Other than that, I'm fine. How are you?

That's not what I'm talking about.

I know.

I'm, uh... Hey!

Uh... Close call, huh?

Doesn't get much closer.

Not without dying.

Yeah.

Well, it was fun talking to you guys.

Listen, about what happened in the alley. I just don't want you to feel

about it. I don't.

I keep waiting to, but I don't.

Could you be a little more specific?

I don't either.

Hi. You guys okay?

Yeah, we're fine.

Thank you. We know who we're looking for.

Thanks, boss.

Ms. Andy Mason. When he made her ditch her shopping cart, her prints were all

over it. Obviously, she's been a county guest before.

Yeah, she's a regular customer.

Her sheet stretches back to age 14.

That was for the armed robbery of her grandparents.

Who's the guy?

Uh, Vincent Simpson.

Two strikers, escaped from court about six months ago.

Ms. Mason was released three weeks ago from Frontera.

Marriage made in heaven.

Take these and work the block they disappeared on.

What about our stakeout?

Victor and Corey can handle it. You guys can relieve them tomorrow.

Yes, Lieutenant.

My office, ten minutes.

Yes, sir.

Aren't you a sight for sore eyes?

What kept you?

A worthless landlord was telling me those bike cops came by, showing our

pictures. You shut them up?

The usual.

You know, you wouldn't have had to be on your knees if you had been on your toes

in the alley.

You know what? They came up on me too fast. Hell, I didn't even see them

Bike cops.

They're like ducks in a shooting gallery.

So, did you talk to our guy? I mean, I'm sick of these $400 for pop jobs. They

kept him late at work.

Tomorrow.

For a walk.

In case you forgot, I just got out of the joint.

I've got some needs that you haven't met.

You've still got that simple brand stink on you.

Why don't you take a shower with some sandpaper and then we'll talk.

You wanted to see me, Lieutenant?

Yeah, come in.

Shut the door.

Sit down, Corey.

Yes, sir.

Corey, you're one of the finest officers in this command.

Well, thank you, sir.

I need you to do some legwork on the case for me.

Fine. It's going to require some discretion and tact.

I understand.

What I'm asking you to do must be done in total secrecy.

No one can know about this. You can't tell a soul.

Can you do that?

Yes, I can.

Good. I appreciate that, personally and professionally.

What's the case, Lieutenant?

My name has shown up in Layla Stein's book.

Your name's in a little black book?

Please, are you crazy? Shut up.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't... Right, right.

Hey, just let it happen again.

No. Can I trust you?

Yes. I absolutely have no idea how my name got in that book. Oh, of course.

I never employed Layla Stein's services or the services of any of her employees.

I swear on my shield.

Right.

Oh, my word.

Excuse me, what was that?

Uh, nothing, Lieutenant. Please, go ahead.

Here's exactly what I needed to do.

It's like they sprouted wings and flew.

Only we know they didn't.

If they didn't reach the other end of the alley, the chapter would have

them. What's on the other side of this?

I don't remember.

Won't you give me a boost?

It's the back of the halfway house.

Oh, right, yeah.

Front's on spinnaker.

It's because I'm comfortable with you.

What? I tell you more than you need to know because I'm comfortable.

Oh. Well, that's a good thing.

It is?

I think we need to question more people in these buildings.

Yeah, that'd be the professional thing to do. And we are professionals.

Come with me.

What are you doing?

Tell me.

Tell you what?

You have a tell.

What's a tell?

Don't you ever play cards?

Tell is a little telltale thing that you do whenever you're nervous or you're

lying or you're in love.

I am none of the above.

See, you just did it. Did what?

The tell.

I used to have one. My mom used to bust me on it all the time. Then what's my

tell? Oh, no. Are you kidding? You'd have to beat it out of me. So who is it?

Oh, good. It's somebody I know.

No, it's not. It's you. Otherwise, you'd be blabbing it all over the place.

Get serious, Corey. Who do we both know who'd be worth bubbling hormones over?

You did it again.

I don't think so. Come on.

What lucky lady are you going to send those to?

Actually, a lady gave them to me.

Who'd send you flowers?

A secret admirer.

You sent them to yourself?

You can't stand it, can you? Oh, I could stand it if I could believe it.

I just don't believe it.

So no woman ever gave you a dozen roses, huh?

No, I didn't say that.

You didn't have to.

Actually, I've got to catch an ATM bandit, so keep an eye on this for me.

What?

Victor had a hard time believing that somebody would send me roses.

Someone sent you roses?

Mm -hmm. And I have a pretty good idea who it was.

Well, you are a police sergeant. You should be able to figure things like

out. It was a brilliant job of detective work.

Very few clues.

Really? I thought you had all the clues you needed.

Come on, get ready. The movie starts in 20 minutes.

And you would hate to miss the previews because they're your favorite part.

Your place looks really great. Haven't been here in a while.

Thanks.

You know, Chris, if you really want to go see that Bruce Willis movie... No,

I like foreign films. I just don't like it when the subtitles are the same color

as the background.

You're lying.

I am.

Hello. TC, it's Tony.

Did I catch you at a bad time?

Uh, no.

No, I was just here to do a movie.

You sound like you're out of breath.

I'm rushing, Tony. What's up?

I need to see you first thing in the morning.

Okay. No problem. I'll see you then.

What's no problem?

Not that it's any of my business.

Blamer wants to see me in the morning.

Before? I don't know. He didn't say.

Maybe it has something to do with the case.

I noticed that you didn't mention that I was here.

We are entitled to a private life.

Oh, well, with that in mind, why don't we forget the foreign film and Bruce

Willis and go to a nice, cozy drive -in?

Beautiful. And intelligent.

Not much, but it's all we have.

I want the entire area saturated, and we're not done before your shifts are

over, okay?

Excuse me, Lieutenant.

Your package has arrived safely.

Dismissed.

Miss Stein.

Thanks for coming. I know you're out on bail and you don't have to come here,

but... Wouldn't have missed it, Captain.

What's up?

It's Lieutenant, actually.

Not for long.

I'll bet.

I've been informed that my name appears in your... You can call it my little

black book. I actually call it that myself.

Is it true? Is my name in there?

Maybe yes, maybe no. I don't have the whole book memorized.

Of course. Well, regardless of what your book says, we've never met.

Are you so sure?

Look, we've never met and you know it. Well, if we had...

Spent time together, you would remember, believe me.

Look. Maybe you partied with one of my girls.

No. You can't be so sure, Sergeant. My girls turn up in the most remarkable

places. Well, I don't. Sometimes, at a party, a particularly gracious host will

hire some of my girls and prepay them. They then mix with the general

population, and a few insanely lucky gentlemen wake up the next morning very,

very happy.

Lady, I can make your life pretty damn uncomfortable. Why don't I get some

answers here?

Oh, please.

My life is about to become a living hell, no matter what you do.

Look, we've never met before. I never hired you or any of your girls.

And all I'd like you to do is say the same to Belief Internal Affair.

I'm sorry.

I can't do that.

willing to do just about anything else you might like. This interview is over.

Yeah. You wanted to see me?

So how's your love life?

Let's find out.

It doesn't matter. What does matter is you put a stop to it now. Otherwise, one

of you needs to transfer out of the unit.

We're working together to find.

Oh, I'll bet.

Look, if it was any other unit, I could split you two up, and we could all go on

with our lives.

But we rotate partners here, and I don't have the manpower.

On top of everything, you're a sergeant now.

I'll take care of it.

Bank truck with loads of cash, ten to three.

It's graduation day.

Why didn't you just do him right there on the bench?

He's shy.

But if certain people don't come around, well, maybe I'll give him what I gave

the landlord.

Okay. I've been really good, haven't I?

I don't know. Have you? I haven't called you. I haven't bugged you.

Bugged me about what?

There you do it again. The tail. Oh, will you stop?

Not until you tell me who it is who's putting stars in your eyes.

I wouldn't believe me if I told you.

Oh, that sounds ominous.

Can you keep a secret?

I mean, really keep a secret.

Cross my heart.

Not exactly the response I was hoping for, but, um, okay.

T .C. Are you crazy?

Will you keep your voice down?

And thanks for the unconditional support.

So the town's going to have a fit.

Do you have lots of fits?

No, no, no. One of you is going to have to transfer out of the unit.

Not necessarily. He can split us up. He can't split you up. We rotate here,

remember?

Sorry.

My turn to be late. Corey and I were having girl talk.

You know, if this steak got to last any longer, I'm going to put on 20 pounds.

You'd still be cute.

Sorry.

Nothing to be sorry about.

You sure?

Yeah. Just being stuck here like this is driving me crazy.

You sure that's it?

Cross my heart.

So what did Palermo want?

They need a new sergeant at the Promenade.

You going to take it?

Yeah. I can't see the ocean from the Promenade.

Well, we better get in position.

Lieutenant.

Hey.

What do we hear from first try?

Oh, business as usual.

Except for some guy who tried to rip the ATM out of the wall because it ate his

card.

Do you got a minute?

You know, don't you?

Yeah. TC didn't tell you, did he?

Call it women's intuition.

Good detective work.

He came to visit you in his office this morning, and today he was... Well, he

was different.

So, what are you planning on doing?

I'll let you know when I decide.

My official request for a transfer.

You've worked long and hard, DC. You made Sergeant.

You sure you want to do this?

I did it, didn't I? It's not an answer.

Be careful what you're thinking with.

I'm thinking with my heart.

And you know what, Tony? It's the smartest thing I've ever done.

Wow.

Talk about your dynamite.

On this page alone, we have a city councilman, two Academy Award winners,

Super Bowl MVP.

I got an ADA and a bank term in here.

I wouldn't think these guys needed to pay for it.

Look at Hugh Grant.

Hey, wait a minute.

Dave Fuchs' name is in here.

The Attorney General?

Yeah, I've known him for 15 years. He was in the DA's office when I was just

getting out of the Academy.

So he likes to party.

No, not Fuchs.

I know this guy like a brother.

I mean, he's a great guy, but he's as straight as they come.

Devoutly religious, has a wife, four kids.

Remember Jimmy Swagger? Jim Baker?

Not this guy, not Pete.

You know, it's funny that you say that, because this city councilman's a friend

of my father's, and he's not the partying type either.

My name's in there.

It only makes sense that some of these other names are bogus, too.

Why?

I mean, policemen, politicians, the rich, powerful.

Boy, whatever cop pulled Leila in sure had some nerve.

That's what she's counting on.

Yeah.

By spiking her client list with some of these names, she's buying insurance.

And she's betting that the names in that book will scare off any cop in his

right mind.

Yeah, and they'll look the other way, rather than risk enraging the powers

be. Now what do we do about it?

Kenneth?

Can I see you for a minute?

Can I wait?

Not really.

All right.

What's the issue?

My transfer request.

You and TC talked this over? We didn't have to.

I'll hold on to this for a while.

If you're waiting for me to change my mind, it won't happen.

We're getting out of here.

Why?

What happened?

You know that little snaggletooth dog our rat -faced landlord owns?

Yeah. He bit me.

So I killed him.

The dog or the landlord?

The dog.

But when our landlord finds out, he's going to know who did it.

Now come on, give me a hand.

Yes, I am.

You're about to destroy my career.

I'm more concerned about my own.

I've done you no wrong.

I've done nothing to hurt you. I've done nothing wrong either, Lieutenant, and

they're about to crucify me.

Prostitution's against the law.

And who gets hurt by it? They're rubbing our faces in your operation. What did

you expect?

Don't you find it a little bit ironic?

O .J. probably killed his wife and a perfect stranger, and they couldn't

convict. It took two trials to nail the Menendez creeps. And now the system

wants to put me away for the rest of the decade.

Is that justice?

I think you're just bitter because your plan didn't work.

And what plan is that?

Throw some famous names in your book so the cops would be afraid to touch you.

Very clever.

And what if I did?

Well, you'll destroy a whole bunch of innocent lives in the process.

Do you really want to do that?

And what is it exactly that you want me to do?

Tell I .A. how you planned those names in the book.

No way.

I play dirty.

I have to. I'm holding on to every card in my hand.

Goodbye, Lieutenant.

God bless technology.

Did you get it all?

Every last word.

On tape for posterity. You're clean, Tony.

Thanks, Fred, for everything.

I really appreciate it.

Pleasure.

Well, they had to go over or under, in or through something.

Yeah, well, we've been through this alley three times.

PC.

Looks like patients at the drug rehab took an occasional break from the rigors

of cleaning up.

Provides our bandit with a way to escape.

Anything?

I'll give it a shot. That's talking me super.

Think he'll ever find his dog?

I doubt it.

You know, we were on stakeout this one time at this drug dealer's house.

We had to go through the trash.

Ended up in big rotten food with a maggot.

More than I need to know.

Glad you're feeling comfortable with me again.

Hey, you see what I see?

We have less than two hours.

Let's go get a book. Night.

Night, Blondie.

You're busted, pal.

Thanks, Victor.

Take a lot of chances.

Taking a big one right now.

What? I feel sort of silly.

Like you're about to have sex with your sister?

Yeah, sort of.

I feel a little bit the same.

Like you're about to have sex with your sister?

We do look kind of cute in our underwear.

Get dressed.

away party where's palermo he's over there i'll straighten this out i

down on that come here girlfriend so did you guys you know

sort of what's going on here didn't sergeant calloway tell you he put in for

transfer the day before you did there was so much going on and well after last

night i just kind of forgot must have been some night to make you forget about

your transfer huh it was

And it wasn't.

But anyway, I don't need the transfer. It's all been resolved. So, can you undo

it?

Actually, no, TC.

I can't undo it.

I never put it in.

I feel like having sex with your sister, huh?

All right, let's have a party now.

Don't try to talk it down.

Why, everyone, that's all my town.

Look, stand, and see.

It works for me.

Take a look around.

Just another day in L .A.

She's more than me.

Anybody.

Please see it's free.

Someday.

What is it now?
