Where's my brand new four -door hardtop sedan with no scratches on any fenders,

huh?

Vaughn says you still haven't returned the police vehicle that you mistakenly

appropriated. I want to watch it first.

My boat? Now you're going to take my boat?

Hey, what is it?

It's a boat chain.

He ain't no cop. He's Hunter.

Kill him.

Fire!

Works for me.

Come on.

You're out of here.

It's real hot in here.

Just within a long week, nothing has gone right.

That's where he is. Hey, listen, there's one thing I already know just how to

boost the car.

He knows squat, huh? He put away for it twice.

Should have dumped his butt a long time ago.

Hey, Johnny, would you relax? He's coming, man. He's coming.

Just put the money in the suitcase.

Yes, sir.

One bag.

Oh, boy.

Yes, sir.

I won't treat you.

Hey, uh, Sonny, if you're not too busy over there, boy, I could show you the

hand.

Hey, Sonny, man, I'm sorry I'm late. I swear to God, man, I couldn't find

nothing to even get us to the border, even. And you said you wanted a road

rocket. How hot is it?

Hey, I took it from the club of diners. I said, how hot is it? I, uh, God made

it seem he's smoking out, man. I don't know.

Is that it? Is that the green?

What's going on, huh?

He's split with his end already.

See, wasn't that the famous last lines of defense of the Nuremberg trial?

Come on, Vaughn. Do me a favor, will you? Kick one of these things loose.

Look, it is going to be on your conscience if I get murdered in one of

things. Not as much as if I get murdered if you smack up one of those new cars.

I'm not going to smack it up. I know, I know.

You want to date with McCall?

You're kidding me, right?

What would she say if she found out you were peddling her for one of them new

cars, huh?

She'd murder me.

Which just goes to show you how desperate I am. Now, come on. How about

Sorry, man.

I was told you could only have one car from the top row.

I'm the kid from the west side, remember?

I was playing three -card money when you were dirtying your diapers.

Now, want to trade?

Check it again.

No, that's not... No, no, it's Mike.

Michael.

M -M -I... Yeah.

Yeah, okay.

No, no, no, it's Whitley Street, isn't it?

Michael Buchanan, right, on Whitley Street.

B -U -C.

Yeah, on Whitley Street, okay?

What the hell are you... Make the call at home.

Security extension 10.

Hey, how you doing, won't you?

Sonny, I'm just checking in.

Hey, Sonny, how you doing, buddy?

Sound a lot better.

Yeah, well, I'm not feeling any better.

It's mostly my head all stuffed up.

I tried calling you a little earlier. Got no answer.

Well, I told you, you know, I unplugged the phone. I needed rest.

Yeah, I know. It's just we've been trying to raise Lenny and Dave's unit.

Why? Don't they have a 7 o 'clock run at the Capital Bank?

Why would you want to get them this early?

Yeah, but they called from the hospital.

His wife went in early.

Then he just had a little boy.

Ain't that something?

That's what he wanted.

After two girls, you think we got a happy guy on our hands?

He's gonna be celebrating for a week.

Happy. Oh, he doesn't know yet. Can't raise him.

Bet they could be out for coffee. I'm gonna try again in ten.

You can see the look on his face, huh?

Yeah.

I've seen it.

Bye.

Marvelous, Ma.

How about this space -age dashboard?

How about the odometer?

Pretty neat, huh? Yeah.

Vaughn said the captain specifically said to give me these set of keys and

car that went with them, and he did.

Any unit handle 510 in progress.

Blue two -door coupe and a yellow four -door sedan racing south on Victory,

south of Del Mar.

Let's take it, McCall.

We're finally in a unit that can catch something besides a broken -down

wheelchair.

Shortcut. Told you we'd get here first.

Listen, ma 'am, we can have this code to any address in the city.

No, no, no, no. I'm not signing nothing. I'm not taking this thing out of here

until I get my insurance guy down here.

I just wanted to get some of my personal possessions out of the glove box and

all.

Well, someone's going to pay.

I'm going to have someone's tail in a sling over this.

Yeah, sure, lady, sure. Listen, you just have your insurance guy ask for me,

okay? He doesn't ask for bonds. I don't understand.

I was told that it was spotted driving downtown.

It couldn't drive in this condition.

100.

We have one very irate woman on our hands.

Captain, we were just answering the call. A car was on the hot sheet. And

are we.

We're supposed to serve and protect, not provoke and infuriate.

We got the woman's stolen car back for her. Yes, and we can deliver it to her

a shoebox.

Well, look, maybe I ought to talk to this Miss Taylor, huh? Maybe I can cool

down a little bit.

Well, I would appreciate that.

What, with the million -dollar robbery this morning? Hey, listen, maybe I can

help out in that area, you know?

Besides, McCall's better at schmoozing people than I am. Hunter, let's put out

one fire at a time, okay?

Call the woman, talk to her, see if you can't calm her down. You did nail the

thieves, right?

Well, we are not dead sure on that. You see, the two kids that we pulled in

claimed that they had just stolen that car ten minutes before we ran in.

Stop them.

I thought Miss Taylor claimed that the...

The car was stolen early this morning from the club that she works at. Well,

did. But the two guys claim that the guy they stole the car from came out from

the shotgun.

Sounds a little lame to me.

McCall, do us a favor.

Talk to this woman. Explain to her that we don't usually destroy private

property. All right? Yeah.

Hunter, Vaughn of the motor pool explains to me that you mistakenly took

wrong vehicle this morning. Really?

I hope it made it through in better shape than Miss Taylor.

Oh, yeah.

Boy, do I hate this.

You know, it's not like we purposely set out to wreck this lady's car, you know.

Maybe we should have brought her a cake.

Let's just be nice to her, okay?

Actually, I'm playing against you, Hunter, by the resident of this house,

Taylor. Believe me, I didn't kill her.

What happened?

Well, we don't know for sure. It's supposed to look like a swimming

Apparently, he dove in off the side of the pool and broke her neck when she hit

the bottom.

Supposed to look like one?

Bernie, the woman had a house full of swimming trophies. She must have known

what she was doing.

I can't believe you came all the way out here to check up on me. I somehow think

you've got it in for me.

I don't have it in for anybody, Hunter.

When officers negligent or guilty of malfeasance, I go to work.

Well, anyway, Bonnie Taylor said her car was stolen from her place of work, the

Club Adonis.

Tito Constantine's club?

Yeah, can you imagine? He features himself as a Greek god.

Dace, where's that coffee?

Tito, be careful, will you?

Dace! Dace!

Right away, Mr. Constantine.

I couldn't believe it when he got that phone call before.

I mean, Bonnie was so alive.

She was always so full of energy.

With a temper to match.

Well, was she angry with anybody recently?

No. Did she have a regular boyfriend?

Well, just Mr.

Constantine.

But they weren't really boyfriend and girlfriend.

Well, you know how it is when you work in a club.

You just mix and match. It's just having a good time.

Hey, did you get a job someplace else or something?

I'm sorry. I'll be right back.

Champion swimmer.

Nice lady, just out having a good time.

Boy, sometimes this job's depressing.

Hey, Stace, where did you leave your brains in your aerobics class this

No, Mr.

Constantine, but he was a police officer. That makes it Jake, then, huh?

Clean that mess up and get out. You're fired.

And it's Thursday, so you don't get paid for the week.

I don't think the state labor board would like that, Tito.

And being the self -appointed district inspector for this particular

neighborhood, I'm going to have to give you a warning.

Come on, Hunter, please don't. My face. Be careful. We didn't seem to care about

her face.

I run a business.

Is that what this is?

A business? I thought it was an aquarium and you were the Greenpeace exhibit.

You know, I think Stacy here should get last week's and this week's salary and

one month's severance pay in advance.

Don't you, Tito?

Huh? Or would you like to step into my private office and discuss this further?

No, no, that's fine. That's fine.

No great loss, Tito.

Doesn't go with the jacket anyway.

I can't believe you. You just stand there.

And you were just sitting there. What was I supposed to do?

I want him dead.

I want Hunter wrapped in white linen by morning. You understand?

Are you crazy? Kill Hunter?

Yeah. What's the matter? You never iced a cop before?

Kill him.

He ain't no cop. He's Hunter.

When he's dead, he's like all the others.

Not if we miss.

Let me give you my phone number in case something comes to mind. You can give me

a call.

Thanks.

And here's my number.

If anything comes to mind, give me a call.

Thank you.

Are you done?

You know, you're getting to be a real pain in your old age, you know that?

Oh, yeah, I know. Thank you. It's just, you see, I'd like to go home and take a

bath. And I figured with a body like hers, you were going to be a long time.

You make this easy on yourself, baby.

And you tell me where it is, okay?

Where is it?

My wallet's in the purse on the shelf.

That's not what I'm talking about. Now, don't turn my screw, all right?

Or I'm going to take you apart from the inside out.

And I'll enjoy that.

Now,

where's the money?

I don't know anything about this.

You and your partner queered. Where is it?

I know you found it. Now you tell me where it is.

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

Come on.

I'll help you, all right? All right.

Come on.

All right? Now this will help you remember, baby. Are you going to take a

or are you going to tell me where it is?

I told you I don't know where it is.

You don't know where it is, huh?

Now you're going to tell me where it is?

Huh?

Do you like it?

Huh?

Where is it?

All right, I'll show you.

You're going to show me?

Everything's under control. Go on back home.

We got things covered here, right?

Million bucks, huh?

Yeah, and then he tried to drown me. That was the extent of the conversation.

Well, whoever this guy was, he stopped by my place earlier.

What?

A million bucks is the exact figure the captain said was stolen from the armored

car trucks earlier this morning, remember?

Yeah.

Coincidence? Not with a figure like a million bucks.

Well, at least I gave him something to remember me by.

What were you doing, knitting him a sweater?

Oh, uh, no, this was, uh, this was for you.

I don't own a sweater.

I know that. That's why I was making you one. But I don't wear them.

Well, you would have worn this one.

Well, I can't wear this, you see. You dropped the stitch right there, see?

Where's my car, Hunter?

Don't worry about it, Vaughn. I got it. That is my problem. Now, where is it?

Mark. Where?

On the street.

Anybody else been at this car besides its owner?

No, no, no. Just the woman, Bonnie.

Bonnie, Bonnie, Bonnie Taylor.

Now, where is it, Hunter, huh?

Where's my brand -new four -door hardtop sedan with no scratches on any fenders,

huh? Where is it?

Who popped the trunk?

What? The lock, Vaughn. Who popped it? It wasn't this way when McCall and I ran

into it.

What do you mean, ran into? Oh, just a figure of speech, Mom.

Bonnie Taylor had a key for the trunk, didn't she?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. She had a key. That's how she got her suitcase out.

Suitcase?

Well,

it's just that I send you to apologize to someone and you come back with a

homicide.

Bet I didn't send you for something difficult.

Bomb would have gone off in the city.

Hold on.

We think this thing stinks from the inside out.

Now, Bonnie Taylor's car was reported missing yesterday morning.

Now, yesterday afternoon, we pick it up, driven by these two joyriders who claim

that they stole it off a guy who's wielding a shotgun.

Which we have no reason to believe.

Well, you do if you go on the assumption that Bonnie Taylor's car was used in

the intersecurity armored car robbery yesterday.

Talk about quantum leap.

I can get that.

Any professional would use a stolen car for a robbery. Now, it's obvious that

the guy who pulled off this intersecurity job was definitely a pro.

They rip off the car. They do the robbery. Then along comes Manolo Garcia

his buddy. They boost the car, not knowing that it's already stolen. Not

the money is still in the trunk.

Still in it.

The car's still in impound.

But the money's gone. I checked.

So much for that theory.

Oh, wait a minute. Bonnie Taylor shows up looking for her belongings, goes

through her car, and finds the money. And that's the reason she was murdered.

don't know she was killed. Could have been an accident.

Unless you know something I don't.

We got a thug pounding on McCall and I to get his million bucks back.

He must have seen us bust the two kids. Follows the car back to the impound,

breaks in, finds the money's gone.

Figures the two cops involved in the case took the money.

Then why kill the woman?

Well, I don't know. He's got us there.

Yeah, but wait a minute. We still have enough here to go on this case.

Talk with Califano.

It's his case.

Hunter, Vaughn says you still haven't returned the...

The police vehicle that you mistakenly appropriated?

I want to wash it first.

Big

Tony.

Hey, I'm only going to ease up and assign you a new car.

As soon as they issue you a new stomach. This kind of stuff gives me agita.

Our inner security thieves.

Those are the kids that called it in.

Any idea who they are?

Tentatively ID'd as Tyrone Ramirez and Arthur Kemp.

Both work part -time in inner security.

Both were off sick the day of the robbery.

I think every inside job I ever heard of, the scoundrel that pulled it called

him sick that day.

Know where the money is?

Don't know. Maybe still down there. The windows were open when we hauled it out.

These guys are it, huh?

Any other possibilities?

Not unless you count the head of their own internal security system. He was the

guy that helped us out, gave us a list of all the men who were off yesterday.

He was the only other one who called in sick that day.

Internal security, huh?

Yeah?

Who is it?

Metro PD.

One second.

Just a second.

Sylvester Dunbar?

Yeah, you can call me Sonny.

Is this about the robbery?

Yeah, it is.

What happened to California?

Well, he's still assigned to the case. We want us to talk to you. Can we come

in?

Yeah, sure.

What can I do for you?

Well, we found the two men that you told Califanio about.

Oh, good.

Captain Ramirez.

You turn up anything?

Yeah, their bodies.

Bodies? Yeah. As in dead?

Always like a police shootout?

No, it was more like a falling out among thieves.

They shot each other? No, we think there's a third party involved here.

You got any leads?

Yeah. You.

What the hell are you talking about?

Well, I'll tell you what the hell I'm talking about.

You called in sick the morning of the robbery.

Yeah, because I was sick. You don't look sick.

I'm feeling better now.

Yeah.

You keep your hands to yourself, huh? A little sensitive, aren't we?

I just don't like being touched.

Or poked by a knitting needle?

What the hell does that have to do with anything?

We spoke with the man that stood in for you at work. Um, Wilcher?

Alan, that's right.

He said he called your home the day you called in sick and nobody answered.

That's because the phone was off the hook.

Then wouldn't he have gotten a busy signal?

The phone was unplugged.

Come on, give me a break here. Just like you gave Ramirez in camp?

And the two drivers from the armored car?

Did you know that Lenny Davenport's wife gave birth to a baby boy the morning he

was murdered?

Did you know that?

Yeah.

I'm sick to grief over that.

It shows.

What about Bonnie Taylor? Why did she have to die?

Who? The tailor woman, the one whose car you stole, the lady who found the money

in her trunk.

You keep talking like this, I'm going to call my lawyer.

You can do it downtown.

What, are you going to take me in?

Is this some kind of bad joke you got going?

Yeah, and I'm the king of comedy, so pack it up.

Well, you got nothing on me.

We've got two kids downtown that can probably ID you as the guy that they

the stolen car from, and I've got a knitting needle with blood on it that I

know is going to match yours.

I bet if I look real close, I can find a blue pickup truck out there on that

street wearing brown paint from my fender.

Why didn't you just shoot me here?

Oh, we would.

But you wouldn't believe the paperwork.

Does it hurt?

Thanks.

Thanks.

You know, there's something that just doesn't feel right here.

Bonnie Taylor's death?

Yeah.

We assumed Dunbar was using her car during the robbery and that the money

left in the trunk, right? Right.

Now, after we impound the car, he flips into the yard, he pops the trunk, and he

sees the money's not there.

So he figures we took it, so he comes after us, except Bonnie Taylor's already

dead when this happens.

Now, if he goes after her to get the money back, he kills her and takes the

money back, why would he come after us?

Somebody other than Dunbar killed her.

Bonnie Taylor, she goes to the impound lot, she looks in the trunk, she finds

the money.

She takes it home.

Right.

And she calls someone.

Tito!

It's okay. Come on. It's all right.

Sit down. You're going to be all right.

Stacy, where's Constantine? Where's Tito?

They told me to come in here and hide and not to come out.

And then we heard the gunshot.

I was just cleaning up.

And then he said he wanted his money.

And he said we had it.

Where's Constantine?

Patley told him that Tito was at his boat.

It's not one of my favorites.

I gave you the money. I didn't know it was yours. Take the money and get out of

here.

Let's go, sweetheart. Untie the boat.

I'm watching you.

My boat? Now you're going to take my boat?

You got a problem with that, Dumbo? You know, I can cut you up into little

pieces and feed you to a lot of fish when we're at sea.

No, no. Take the boat.

There it is.

What is this?

It's a boat chase.

Can you drive this thing? You bet I can.

Good.

You okay?

I'm feeling a lot better now.

Tito ought to be washing up on shore any minute.

I hope.

See you there.

Look what you've done to this car!

Look, Vaughn, relax. You're getting so worked up.

This is it.

I want you both off the lot.

Do you hear me?

I warn you, don't mess with me!

Will you just get a hold of yourself, all right? Look, if you want to talk

us, put down the clipboard.

Now, look, the captain says we get a new car.

There are no new cars.

This was a new car.

Well, you know what they say about new cars, don't you?

Once you drive them off the lot, they lose their value.

Here, Hunter, you take these. Those are your keys.

That's your car.

Now, I want you both off the lot.

Take those keys or I'll call Terwilliker. He'll have the whole I .A.

you both.

How am I going to explain this?

You're not going to get any flack on it this time. This vehicle was instrumental

in solving a number of brutal slayings and in returning a million dollars worth

of stolen money. So, Vaughn, that makes us all heroes.

We couldn't have done it without a car that had pep.

Pep.

Now it's got new fenders.

Oh, and Vaughn, what was your idea for me to take the keys to that car?

Let's go, Hunter.

Hey, those keys don't fit that car.

You're absolutely right.

But McCall could hotwire broom handlers. You had to. Ciao.
