Everyone knows the Snow Queen. She's the connection to the stars, man.

I caught her right in the middle of a self -made snowstorm. She's a material

witness in a homicide back in New York. Hunter, she's my prisoner. If you hadn't

jumped in, she never would have gotten away.

I believe that.

She looks like she'd be a regular bobcat. I don't feed the animals.

You know, Hunter, I don't think you like me.

Works for me.

We'll be right

back.

Don't worry, my friend.

You don't need to go, so crawl back again.

You'll never learn what we already know.

Real people don't have to put on a show, he said.

You know the kind of girl you mean.

I've been spread out in those magazines.

I used to have one, though I don't know why.

I want a real girl, not something so loud. I want some light.

Lying next to me, I want a little girl, not some hussle that's just me. I don't

need a platinum doll, what's in the trash and I need a little girl.

I don't want some platinum doll walking next to me. I want a real girl as

natural as can be.

I don't need a platinum doll. What's in the trash? And I need a real girl.

This is getting the saddest background. What's a platinum doll lying next to me?

I want a real girl.

Not some huckaband to see. I don't need a platinum doll.

Don't get down.

Into the hall.

Beautiful.

Beautiful.

Beautiful. Beautiful.

Beautiful.

It's me again.

Sure is.

Hey, look, whoever this guy is you came here with, he's obviously not back from

wherever he went, so maybe he just upped and left you here alone.

Yeah, wouldn't that be his bad luck, huh?

Or won't it be yours if he comes back and catches you still watching my clock?

Whoa.

Hey, hey, hey.

Juan,

you say you were waiting for the Snow Queen. I got my own blow, sweetheart.

You're all worried.

You're all worried.

I got the best.

A couple of joints and some abusers. Bernie, I was trying to connect with Vic

Terranova. Call look around you here. All right, turn around. Is Vic Terranova

anywhere here? Bernie, he would have been here if you didn't come going in

through the door like the prince of the city.

Now, look, I have been on this stakeout for a long time, busting my buns to get

in a position to bag Terranova, and tonight was it if you hadn't have come.

received complaints from two respectable, law -abiding citizens in

who are entitled to peace and quiet.

And the proper response of law enforcement agencies in this city when

reported.

All right, Bernie, look, I'm sorry, all right?

I am frustrated. Come on, you're talking about a couple of people who are going

to lose out on Johnny Carson's monologue, and I am losing out on one of

biggest drug dealers in the city. I mean, Hunter knows you're undercover,

You could have intercepted the first blues that rolled in here. Why didn't he

flag them and badge them and tell them you were in here undercover, huh?

I mean, after all, you two are partnered, right? You're not supposed to

working any assignments alone.

I mean, where is Hunter? Why isn't he outside there right now waiting to back

you up on this bus, huh?

Where is he, McCall?

Bernie, he happens to be following some leads of his own, all right? And they

happen to be very important to this case.

They're not wiped yet.

Well, thank you.

I didn't realize they had the strict dress code in the supermarket. They

didn't let me in, you know. But management offered to loan me a liaison.

See that exercise place across the street there?

Well, after they finish exercising, all these girls come over here to do their

shopping. Now, it's tough, but I've had to get used to it.

Right.

That's why you don't shop at those two markets that are right around the corner

from your house.

Look, I've told you why I shop here. I know. It's because the produce here is

much better. What is it that you want?

I need you to sign some reports.

Right now?

Yes. Look, you and I made a bust last night, and Twilliger's on to us again.

captain is down there ready to paddle me, so you have to make an appearance.

Look, it can wait till tomorrow.

No, it can't.

His partner up in Dodgemack was your idea, as I recall.

Well, I think it should be taken in the spirit in which it was intended. It was

all a scam anyway. Okay, fine.

But now we just made a bust that put me closer to Vic Terranova, so let's do

this.

Oh.

God, you are so bad at this.

That's the reason I come to this store.

Customer, help me pick my melon.

What?

I think I need something on aisle eight.

Yeah. Yeah, why don't you check for backup? I think we've got something

down.

You think this stuff does what they say it does?

Not that you know.

The only thing you put underneath your arm is that shotgun.

Wait, wait!

There's another one outside.

Hey, McCall.

I thought it was only one to a customer.

So how'd you come up with two busts at the same time? Well, they weren't the

same time. They were 20 minutes apart.

I told you two not to try double jacking me anymore, didn't I?

You guys split up last night. You run a separate assignments. That's why you

didn't have anybody working the outside who could have stopped the raid and

given us a chance to nail Terranova. I still think we can take a run at

Terranova through the Sally Lapone we brought in. No, you can't.

Sally Lapone's not going to tell you anything.

What do you mean? She's been running in this circle for close to a month now.

She can prove that half the people she scores for in this town, she does

Terranova's connection.

Well, she's not your prisoner anymore.

She walks out of here in six hours.

That's crazy.

Captain, I caught her right in the middle of a self -made snowstorm. I can

that to squeeze her.

She's already traded that in for a bigger chip.

Now, just a second. Hold the phone here.

Now, McCall and I didn't bust our butts on this case. They had it pulled from us

like a bad tooth. Well, it doesn't matter, Hunter.

She's a material witness in a homicide back in New York.

Evidently, she's the only one who can ID the killer.

That takes precedence over possession, Rapp.

Certainly, if the tables were turned, we'd expect the same cooperation.

You could have at least let me talk to her before you told her this case was a

lock. I might have gotten her to open up, you know? You know something,

The only thing you have to worry about is what's going to happen when I nail

and Hunter in one of your little games.

Now, believe me when I tell you, your troubles are just beginning.

Detective Sergeant Molinas, NYPD.

Hey, sugar, uh, that piece of paper puts me back on a plane in six hours, so you

better say yes to lunch or, like, it's a big loss for you.

And I'm gonna have to go peddle all this charm back east, and you're never gonna

be able to brag to all your friends that Jackie actually chose you out of all

them California blondes just fighting to jump his bones, huh?

Hunter. This is Detective Molinas from New York. Hey, only my close friends

me Detective Molinas.

It's Jackie.

And he's my boss.

She looks like she'd be a regular bobcat in a sack, huh?

Well, Jackie, looks like you're here to take Sally LuPone back to New York, huh?

Yeah. Yeah, I guess she happened to be in a wrong bed when some piece of crud

got off.

She may or may not be able to help close that one, but we do what we gotta do,

don't we, huh?

I tried to dump this little tripola on a half -dead apartment, but who wants to

make a 6 ,000 -mile round -trip haul to babysit some candy nose, huh?

So what, she being brought up?

Oh, there's some legalese we gotta wrestle with, some paperwork, computer

checks, stuff like that.

After that, she's all yours.

Yeah, well, uh, I'd hate to miss my 2 o 'clock flight.

I bet you would.

We'll get on this thing as soon as we can.

Put it on the boards.

In the meantime, pick a chair.

Practice your wolf calls.

Better yet, why don't I go see my prisoner?

I got nothing to say to you, honey, so why don't you just give it a rest for a

while?

Sally, how old are you, for Pete's sake?

You gonna spend the rest of your life crawling in and out of the gutter?

You come out of New York, you wind up out here, you get nailed on some

possessions charge. Now you're going to go back to Manhattan, testify against

some dead pushers so you can get kicked free and wind up in another cesspool.

What can I say?

Guess I just enjoy it down here, huh?

If you don't mind, this conversation isn't exactly rocking my socks.

I know and you know that I don't have the time and I don't have the leverage

push you. Oh, you figured that out, huh? Good!

Look, Sally, I need something from you. I need something from you that's going

to put me closer to Vic Terranova.

Well, actually, it looks like you got exactly what it would take to get next

Vic. Can you party?

Better yet, if you know your way around the music scene, you're as good as on

his dance card.

I need more, Sally.

I need your help. I don't need more.

Oh, come on, cheer up, McCall. Better luck next time.

Like I've been saying, this is my year.

Hey, Cupcake, you got that right. You just won the New York lottery.

Well, Dan, what did they send you here for?

Just wanted you to feel comfortable, Madam Blow.

We figured you went and split the big apple to come out here to upset our West

Coast neighbors. We wanted to escort you back in high style.

Sally, what's the matter? What's the matter?

What's the matter is she hasn't put anything up her nose but oxygen in the

couple hours. Ain't that right, Cupcake, eh?

Sally?

Maybe she needs a doctor.

She don't need no doctor.

What she needs is...

She just needs to get back home to all her old pals.

Half of New York City has been without dope and sex since you spirited yourself

away there, Snow Queen.

I want her checked out before she leaves.

Yeah, I'll check her out, okay? Right now, she's in the custody of this

precinct. That means she goes when we say she goes.

Now, I want her checked out before she makes this trip. She looks sick. And

your cracks.

Save it, Jackie. She's not your type. Oh, they're all my type on her.

And the ones that aren't, I make them like that.

I want to know what the hell you were doing down there with that prisoner in

first place, Nicole.

You were not supposed to be talking to her. That's beside the point.

Now, this is just another one of your ploys to turn that case you want to make

against Karen over.

Captain, I just happen to think it's practical.

I want that report on my desk in five minutes.

I don't know if she's ill or not, but she still proved herself inside out when

Melina showed up. Look, he's got the right papers to extradite. He's got the

warrant. We agreed to her deal.

What do you expect me to do? I expect you to at least take your butt down

talk to her, and see what she has to say.

Then if you think she's fit to get on that plane in two hours, then okay.

For once, you've got nothing to say, huh? I didn't think you wanted my

I don't. See, knowing that makes me a better detective.

Let's go see this Sally Rapone.

She was released.

When?

Because, McCall, that's what the paperwork said to do.

Sergeant Molina. There it is.

All officials extradite to New York. How long ago did they leave? Just a few

minutes ago.

Let's roll.

Please. Please.

I'll never say anything. I haven't, right? I haven't. I won't. You're right.

won't. I won't. I swear. Listen, listen, listen.

I'll do anything.

I'll do anything.

Anything you want. Anything you say.

Yeah, I bet you will.

And I bet you have.

Come on.

There they are.

Where the hell did they go?

I don't know.

They didn't make the light.

There they are.

please.

I'll do anything you want. I will. Anything you say.

Please.

Melina! Hey!

What are you, crazy man?

What the hell are you doing? Hey, she's gonna get out of here. Come on.

Sally?

Hunter, she's my prisoner. She's escaping, huh? If you hadn't jumped in,

never would have gotten away.

But what the hell are you doing out here with her? The airport is over there.

I got lost, all right? I got lost. What, you never get lost in a strange city?

Oh, come on. Look, they were hurting her, all right? She said they were too

tight. I was loosing them. She rolled out of the car and she bolted.

If she got away, you're going to hear from me and my superiors.

Good, I'd like to hear from them. And then right after that, I'm going to put

you and your gum on an airplane out of town.

What the hell do you mean he's on this case?

What gives him the right to be involved in an investigation from this

department? Yeah, and did he tell anybody at all what he was doing out

that field near the airport with that girl?

Yeah, he explained all that, Hunter.

She was trying to escape.

He pursued her. And you distracted him just long enough to allow her to get

away. And I gotta tell you something.

NYPD is not all that ecstatic about you sticking your beak into this case.

Ticking my beacon?

How about Molinas gaffing that girl out here before you had a chance to talk

with her or see her?

That's something I'll address.

Hey, Captain, I just want to thank you a lot for letting me help out.

You can say the kudos, Molinas.

I haven't forgotten that you pulled an end run and yanked Lapone out of here

before she was officially released. Yeah, I know, and am I ever so sorry

that. I admit my overzealousness is as much to blame in this whole matter, and

that's why I just have to do my all to help out of this.

I'm sure you just heard the same things from Sergeants Hutter and McCall, so I

don't want to belabor the issue.

Pretty slick, aren't you?

Hey, we do what we do, right, Hunter?

So let's kick some dust up in the air and find a snow queen.

Hey, uh, we'll let him drive, sweetheart. You and I can ride in the

Put it back in the closet, Melinas. I don't feed the animals.

Gonna have fun grinding the rough edges off of you, Dee.

Bang zoom to the moon.

I know, relax.

This is just what we want.

It is? Yeah. We've got to keep an eye on this big jabron when we look for Sally,

correct? Well, when he finds her, we find her.

Hey, babe.

Thought I'd give you another chance.

Think he was going to kill her, Hunter?

Well, when we see her, we'll ask her, won't we?

Yeah, well, you can ride with Popeye Doyle there. Me, I'm going to take a run

Terranova.

I think there's a real good chance that Sally's going to show up there looking

for some cover.

But Sally gave me some good leads on how to go.

She did, yeah? Like what?

She wandered in off the street, bagged and all, from Omaha.

You know, come to Hollywood to be a singer.

The boys were setting up. They didn't mind.

Of course they didn't, Mike. Take a look at her.

Right off the bus, huh?

Yeah, can you believe that?

I don't know.

What'd you think?

Not bad, not bad. I got a surprise for you. Hold on.

Well, you're in luck.

The owner just came in. I'd like you to meet Vic Terranova.

Oh, Mr.

Terranova, hi. It's nice to meet you. Vic, call me Vic.

Only my kids' friends call me Mr. Turnover.

Vic, I'm Dee Dee Howard.

So you want to be a singer?

Well, yeah.

I mean, professionally.

Uh -huh.

I mean, I am a singer. Uh -huh. I sing.

You know anything at all about this business, Dee Dee?

Pay scales?

Personal management?

Arrangements? Uh, no, not a whole lot. I figured maybe if I knew too much, I'd

be too disillusioned to try to break in, you know? Probably.

I hear you're new in town. Where do you stand?

Actually, no place just yet. I've been looking for some place in the area I

could afford.

There's just not a lot of those places around.

I was just walking by the club and I thought, what the heck?

Stranger things have happened, right?

Right, right.

Anyway, come on, come on.

You mean I got the job?

Oh, no, not quite.

You're in Hollywood. You're not over the rainbow.

Well, and I don't understand.

Look, I don't want to take any charity.

Slow down, Omaha.

I didn't say you couldn't sing.

What I am saying is that you're trying to break into a very competitive

business.

It's obvious that you have a voice.

It's also just as obvious you may not be right for this type of life.

Now, what you need to do is to develop your talent, work on an act, meet the

right people.

You're a nice kid.

Out of your element.

I'm just looking to help you out.

If that's not enough, you can shove off.

Keep the dog.

Hey, Mr. Terranova's a stand -up guy.

He likes to help people.

You know, you're lucky with all the brajoles out there you wandered in here.

How's that? Good.

Mr.

Terranova, I'm...

Look, I'm alone, you know, and I just didn't want to make the same mistakes

heard other girls have made coming to this town.

You're a nice lady, Omaha.

That's why I'm glad you landed here.

I don't want you making the same mistakes either.

Now, listen, why don't you go find yourself a place to stay and then come

back here later on tonight?

Tonight?

Well, I bet this place is jumping at night, huh?

Everybody gets all dressed up.

Must be great.

Listen, uh...

Oh,

no. No, no.

You have done more than enough for me already. Look, I don't want... I didn't

mean for you to do this. It's all right.

Like I said, you're sharp.

You have great instincts, kid.

Thanks. See you tonight.

How's it going, kid?

Don't you coneheads know it's against the law to gamble?

Who scraped you off there for you?

Now, I just dropped by to give you guys a lesson on how to greet your local

police officers when they come by to chat.

Hey, meatball, unless you're looking to scratch your behind, I'd hold still.

Hey, what is this, man? All right, ladies, everybody knows what to do. Hug

wall. Come on, come on.

Unless you want to go in there with him. Huh?

Come on, up against the wall, all of you.

Hey, 100 tickets, I'm going to have to pay for that.

Scully, don't worry about this. The city will reimburse you. Okay,

I want to start seeing the goods. Hit the deck. Come on, everybody uses their

left hand.

Huh?

Any of you pukes well?

Sure. I remember from when I was still doing session work.

Everyone knows the Snow Queen.

She'll supply you with anything you want.

She's the connection to the stars, man.

She was a warm body and a fun time to just about every musician I played with.

And if she could put that chair up her nose on a pipe and smoke it, she would.

And she'd turn half the town on to it.

Where the hell would she go if she was in trouble?

You're talking real trouble, Dan. I don't know.

But she sure knows a lot of people.

She's been putting in a lot of time with this guy, Darby Flash.

What the hell is a Darby Flash?

Garby Flash, man. He plays bass with the Sniveling Snitch.

They've been out in Malibu almost a month now trying to finish their new

which is Barfolo, by the by.

Now, this place is Dan. Does this belong to Darby Flash?

Probably renting. I don't know under what name, but I could be able to run it

down.

This is good, Scully. Thanks.

Now, where do you want it?

Oh, damn it, man. I hate this part.

And maybe we could skip it. Now, they know that we're on speaking terms and

we're pals.

They're going to clam up and we ain't going to be worth a damn. Now, where do

you want it? Man, the last time my right eye didn't open for a week.

The left eye is always stronger.

Come here.

So what'd you get for the mullings then?

Nothing.

You know, Hunter, I don't think you like me.

And to think my partner thought you were an insensitive creep.

See how wrong you can be about some people?

You want to pull over there so I can get some more gum?

I didn't say anything?

No, I'm fine.

This is L -56.

Pack me to the line.

Yeah, it's Darlie Flash.

Probably not his real name.

I need to get an address on him. Get back to me, will you?

Okay, okay.

Hold your horses.

Guy can't get no nourishment around here.

How you doing there, shoeshine?

Hey, look, man, take it easy. You can have whatever you want.

I want what you told Hunter. That's what I want.

Hunter, look, man, I didn't... Hey, you dance the Hunter's beat, gumball. I've

seen it enough times to know.

I'm going to give you more than a fat lip if you don't let me hear it. Where's

Sally Lapone?

And I swear, I didn't... One last time. You spill your guts or I'll spill them

for you.

Where's Lapone? Okay, okay.

Look, all I told her was I thought she might be hanging out with some dude

Darby Slash.

Yeah, I know the Snow Queen. That sounds right on.

All right, keep me smiling. Where do I find this tutsun? I didn't tell her.

me! I found out for him, and I did.

He's out in Malibu in a beach house.

I got the address right here in my box.

11763 Pacific Coast Highway.

Right, that's it.

That's all I know.

This is where she is?

That's where the guy is. I don't know if she's there. I swear that's all I told

him.

Is that it?

God, Hunter, I heard it on the radio.

What we've got here is a clear -cut case of robbery.

You know the victim, too, McCall? Yeah, I knew him through Hunter.

Just started his shift.

Talk about your bad break.

He's still blown away for 20 bucks in change.

Hunter?

Hunter?

Hey, Hunter.

I'm sorry, man. How you doing, Terranova?

I'm doing all right.

Managed to touch the bumpers with him. I'll probably see him later on tonight.

Look, Hunter, I can cover Sally if you want to work this on with that. I can

cover the Lapone case.

This is the Lapone case.

What do you mean?

Malinas.

Malinas?

What are you talking about? How? I thought he was with you. He was with me.

I was so damn concerned about him hearing me run the name that Scully had

me, I let him get away.

You don't really... Do you really think he did this? Why?

Because he didn't want Scully to tell me what he had told him.

Because... Because he probably wanted to.

Zell 56, give me RNI, would you?

Look, Molina truly did this.

He needs to have his tires rotated, and if he needs Sally this bad... Go ahead,

L56. What do you got on a Darby Slash?

Darby Slash? The singer with the sniveling snits?

Oh, you know him?

Well, yeah.

You know they're single, don't you? Cloak of Darkness?

Stop the blood feet down?

Anyway, Scully told me this guy may have a place down in Malibu. Probably under

a different name.

No, it's probably under his real name. Why don't you try, uh, what is it? Harry

Berkowitz.

Harry Berkowitz.

Walking next to me. I want a real girl. It's natural.

But what's the attraction? I need a real girl to give.

I'm kind of in a little fix.

Yeah, you do look a little wired.

Actually, I just... I need some money. I hate to ask. I hate to ask. What kind

of trouble? Nothing, nothing.

I just... I need some place to stay, you know?

I kind of need some help.

You've been running all over this town with Caranova and his bloke. And when

need something, you come back to the door.

I like that Snow Queen, I really do.

I really kind of need some help, darling.

Yeah, well, so do I.

See, you've got a house full of guests and not enough party favors to go

How about the Snow Queen?

Making a little run for me and mine. Oh, yeah, sure.

Do you think you can help me out?

Well, how much money are you talking?

A couple of grand, maybe.

Sure, sweetie.

I can do that for you.

First, you get yourself over to Sweet Louie's place.

Get a couple of ants for the dog. Okay, okay.

You know there's no Quentin. I'll be there for you.

I'll ring him up.

I'll tell you he'll be there.

I'm kind of out of wheels, though.

Well, take mine. The keys are in the pocket.

Should be out of the garage.

I'll be back in a bit. Do you think that you'll have the money for me? Yeah. I

really appreciate this, darling. I really do.

Hey, Leanne.

Get Sweet Louie on the phone for me.

Hey,

hey, Tarzan.

Hey, you got an animal named Darby Slash, little hunter?

Hey, how do you learn how to talk like that, huh?

Why, are you interested?

Because I can show you.

All right, talk to me, pussycatter. I'll break you down so your girlfriend can

carry you home in a basket on her arm. He's upstairs, man!

Hey, where can I find Darby Flash?

Where were you when this happened?

Did you see anything?

Sally LaPone.

The Snow Queen.

She was here, wasn't she?

Yeah.

Where did they go?

Wait, Louie.

Darby just wanted to party.

No. album is going to be great

hi

how are you doing darby sent me out forget darby you want to stay with me

But forget Darby. Listen, as long as Darby's buying, I'll keep coming back

coming back and coming back.

Come on, I got a bride for you. Yeah?

You're making a good deal.

Look at that.

What, this is a deal?

That's part of it.

All right.

Find the other part, right? Uh -huh. Pretty good.

Who's this?

This is Smiley.

Hello, Smiley. Nice to meet you.

It's my home.

I'll kill yourself.
