Original subtitles

You actually know the freak who might have done this?

Little Sonny Dayjack, a tin soldier.

What a macho man.

I ask you to slip in quietly and nicely, and you charge in with four commandos

and a bazooka. You don't want to do this.

Oh, yes, I do.

The guard just died, and he was the only witness you had on earth?

Now, when you see Hunter, you tell him that I'm taking you two off this cave.

Why do I feel he's going to do something rash?

Hunter?

Works for me.

Whoa, that'll be 18 bucks.

But Mr. Johansson always makes arrangements for my cab fare. Nobody

arrangements. You owe me 18 long.

May your life be long and filled with crabgrass.

the man last night.

Leclerc.

Tell me, what did he tell you?

What he told me?

He came to me and he told me he betrayed a trust.

Something he said he would never do. Now, what did he tell you? Oh, God, I

remember. I don't remember.

He got drunk.

When he's drunk, he tells secrets.

Now, what secrets did he tell, Denise?

Hunter, what kind of girl goes for a ride in a fake chinchilla and tells a

cabbie the payments have been arranged for?

A hooker girl?

Uh -huh.

You know, the trouble with female callers, you're always assuming the

your fellow human being.

I'm not a fellow human. I'm a cop.

Yeah, but you've got to admit, McCall, when was the last time a pimp carved up

one of those girls with an 8 -inch carbon knife?

Maybe he's a weird pimp.

Look, I know it doesn't make much sense luring her out on some phony date in

Beverly Hills.

But if she's not a hooker, then what's that, her laundromat?

This is the L .A. Water Works.

Oh.

Belief, Sergeant Hunter and Sergeant McCall.

Oh, my.

Welcome, welcome.

Well, are you two interested in the pulsating jet room or perhaps the

hot tub special with magic fingers?

No, we're here on business.

You don't think that maybe some of your girls might be taking in a little extra

laundry, do you?

Some of my girls are in nursing school.

Why, their professors come in to visit all the time.

Oh, I guess that must be one of the professors.

Uh -huh.

Land, the heat.

about the time you guys showed up.

I'm the one that called the desk sergeant about Denise.

I was worried about her.

She didn't show up for work today.

Well, I'm afraid she won't be coming back.

Leanne, do you have any idea at all who'd want to kill Denise?

You said she had a date last night.

A John?

Guess it doesn't matter now, does it?

Well, we know she was out with Mr. Johanson.

Or she was supposed to be.

Who made that date?

I don't know.

Was there someone that she was afraid of crossing? A pimp?

Hey, I don't have a pimp.

And she didn't have a pimp.

Now, the only guys that gave her the creeps were the customers.

Did she date anybody recently that was kinky?

Yeah.

Two nights ago, recently enough.

There was this guy.

I don't know, she said he really freaked her out.

Well, why would she say that?

I don't know. He got drunk and started spouting off all kinds of weird stuff.

I don't know exactly what.

I didn't ask.

Do you have a name on him?

I don't know.

Did she have a book that might have had his name in it?

Look, all I remember is that...

It sounded sort of French, you know, like do something or other.

You know, she never mentioned his name before. Maybe it was a first -time

caller. Maybe it was a transient.

Yeah.

Hey, yeah, that could be because she said she was just going to take the

and run, you know?

Because he was in town just for the week.

Well, where did he contact her from? Where did he call her from?

Yeah, it was a bar. He called her from a bar.

But boy.

Blitz the right man with fire -breathing chemicals. The war would have been

over. You look like some mutant with a third eye in the middle of your nose.

Okay, everybody.

Let's loosen up.

Now, a real man doesn't need an Uzi.

He doesn't even need a Sterling.

A real man wraps his hand around six inches of cold, hard steel

and then shoves it up the fourth point of contact.

I don't make the wars.

And I don't get paid to fight them.

But I decide how a man will die.

And that's hand to hand.

Mano a mano.

What a macho man.

You want to prove you're a bigger man?

No.

I don't... I don't find sticking dummies very macho myself.

Hey.

Little Sonny Zajac. Ten soldier.

Thought I locked you up and threw away the key a long time ago.

It's called parole, Hunter.

You want to know something?

There's not a damn thing that you can do about it.

Bartender.

Any Frenchmen hang around here? Or anybody with a French name?

Why don't you try French Lick, Indiana?

That's cute.

That's... cute.

You really know that weirded out guy?

Know him?

I pumped a 9mm mag at him, around him, under him.

But I couldn't hit him.

Why don't I just dust him off just a little?

Hey, LeClaire.

LeClaire.

Don't you think you've muddied the waters enough for one day?

Come on.

With a, uh, you just save your energy for tonight.

Then you can play at cops and robbers.

Okay?

Okay.

It'll take three minutes, and they'll be back around after the round. We've lost

20 seconds.

Mark, on my command.

Freeze!

Turn around real slow and drop those guns.

Hey, hey, whoa.

Why would they break into a medical supply house? They don't use drugs.

Maybe they'd sell them, bring a lot of money out on the street.

Mercenaries, come on.

If you don't believe me, ask the guard. If you hurry, he's got about nine bullet

holes in him, but there ain't nothing wrong with his eyesight.

Jungle Garb and Uzis, that's about all he said, huh? That and the fact that he

was tall, built like a stone wall.

Cammy clothes, Cammy makeup, one real mean lizard.

Zajac?

You actually know the freak who might have done this?

Yeah, maybe.

Well, be careful, you two, because after leaving a witness behind, you'd have to

be in a real good mood.

Wally, Hunter, look, you've got to do me a favor.

I know it's late.

You've got to find out the parole officer for a Sonny Zajac.

What the... Good morning.

Hunter, you don't have a word for this.

Just a bit. Read it. You're under arrest for murder.

Now get up.

Mantra T.

Royce.

Never heard of him.

Really?

He's heard of you?

He was at the Parkland Pharmaceutical Supply Warehouse last night.

He saw you just minutes before you filled him full of holes. Don't you

these things?

Fine. Remind me to send a race to his funeral.

Oh, he's not dead.

Yeah, kind of surprised me, too.

But when he wakes up, he's going to want to talk to you, I'm sure.

LeClaire.

LeClaire, that's French -sounding, isn't it?

It certainly is.

Listen, did you get any mugshots on these guys?

Yeah, they're under arrest.

Okay, will you mind showing me this one, the one named LeClaire?

You bet.

Walk this way.

No, I don't get it.

Stealing drugs, you don't use them.

But then you go ahead and break into a warehouse, you gun down a man in cold

blood, and you take over $1 million worth of drugs. Why?

Hunter, don't talk to my lawyer.

Hunter!

I want Mr. Zajac and his men free.

Free?

You must be hallucinating, Spiegel.

As soon as we get the okay from the hospital, we're going to parade these

by in a lineup.

A lineup?

A lineup with whom?

That guard just died, and he was the only witness you had on earth?

Case closed.

Let these people go.

He died 15 minutes ago.

I'm going to follow this guy. I want to tag along.

No, I got a name to work on. Claire.

Might be that French name Leanne was telling me about. I'll concentrate on

You do that.

LeClaire?

Yeah, that's the guy.

That was Denise's last date.

What can I do to get this guy?

Give me a date with him.

You want it, you got it.

Is it you? Do you see him?

Yeah, I sure do.

Well, if there's anything else I can do to help you, I'm going to stumble.

I'll handle it from here, Leanne. Thanks.

Well, thank you.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, honey.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be offensive.

Then just what did you mean?

Ah, now would you look at that nasty stance.

Only one thing for it, that's club soda.

I talk real nice to them. They might put a cherry on top.

Listen to me.

I told you to keep it simple.

I could have used a lot of other ways to break into that supply house, like

bribing a guard.

Too dangerous, I said. Hell, even that would have been less risky than what you

pulled. One of my guys just happened to step on something.

I mean, it sounded like glass.

Otherwise, the operation would have been as smooth as silk.

What do you think?

The cops are raving jackasses?

Don't you realize they're going to catch on to us? They're going to start

putting two and two together?

And what have they got?

They've got nothing.

They've got a street height for drugs.

For money and profit.

Go on.

Keep talking.

Keep laying it on.

The fact is you came to me.

Highly recommended.

And then you wrap my butt in a slingshot and tell me to love how it feels?

the big job comes.

You will be pinning the medals on my chest.

One of the biggest names on the street.

A real shaker. Mover.

He told me this creep was perfect for what I gotta do.

And what's that? You don't wanna know.

Believe me.

I think it's time I did.

Arthur, I'm going to tell you the secret to my success in the Beverly Hills

banking world.

The secret is, it's not me.

It's a man named Charlie Hawkin who works the other end in the Caymans.

He's the guy that does all the work.

Launders the money, whatever.

He's my partner.

Without him, I'm dead.

Tom, he's the guy they put away in Terminal Island.

Why didn't you say something earlier? I could have worked out an appeal.

If I waited for appeals, I'd go broke before they got turned down.

I'm yanking him straight out of stir.

Oh, you're going to bust him out of Terminal Island?

Oh, no way.

It's never been done. It can't be done.

Just watch me.

If you let go for a while.

Why?

Because I said so.

Hey, come on, man.

You don't want to do this.

Oh, yes, I do.

I can't move and you're blocking the entrance.

For God's sake, Heather.

You're a cop.

And cops don't play.

Can't swim, huh? What do you mean you can't swim? You're a big, tough guy.

on, you can swim. I can't believe that.

I don't give a hell!

Huh. I don't know anything! You know, tell me what I want to know and I'll

you get out of there.

I don't know anything!

Well, sure you do. Think about it for a minute.

Now, you had a meeting on a boat over there. I don't know what the name of the

boat was and who owned it.

Come on, one more time. Who owns the boat?

What? Thomas D 'Alessandro.

What? Thomas D 'Alessandro.

Thomas D 'Alessandro. What slip?

1601.

Thomas D 'Alessandro.

That wasn't so tough, was it?

I was allowed to bite it off.

We talking about the same thing?

Well, we just find out.

Why don't we go someplace that's nice and private?

Sure. You know, someplace nice and safe.

Sure do, honey.

Nice little hotel right around the corner. There's no hotels and no motels,

understand?

No, honey, I don't understand.

Maybe we do it my way or we don't do it.

What's the matter? You're off show and no go?

No, no.

Go on now, sit down.

It's all right.

It's no problem, all right, listener?

I know a nice place.

Why?

Very private.

Come on.

I have to tell you, Sajak. It's Sajak. S -A -J -A -K.

So let it ring all night.

Forget it. Forget it.

Bottoms up.

You pick a spot.

A belt.

A jungle.

Some little cave and some...

God -forsaken island, and I've probably been there and blown somebody to pieces.

Oh, honey, go on now. You're just fooling with me.

Listen.

You know a man by the name of Charlie Hocken?

And come on, come on. He's the guy in the papers, and he owns half the

Caribbean.

He is a close, personal...

Friend of mine.

Well, now, I have heard about that man. You know him, do you?

Ellie, we are like that.

Now, wait a minute. I read about him.

Isn't he the guy they sent off to the slammer?

You think the slam scares a guy like that?

And where is that big, old, comfortable bed that you promised me?

Well, honey, I think you ought to have another drink first.

I do.

Be back.

Yeah? Hey, Zajac.

It's LeClaire. He's getting drunk again, and this time it's with a cop.

A cop?

He's dating cops now?

Yeah, a female cop.

Now, baby, hold on a minute. We haven't even gotten to the main course yet.

Hey, honey, now put me down.

You're gonna put your back out.

I think you better put me down.

My head.

My head. What'd you do to me?

I didn't do nothing, baby. You've had too much to drink.

Come on now, put me down.

Mickey.

You slipped me a Mickey.

Yeah, patch me through to Hunter.

Hunter, it's McCall.

Get over to my house right away. I got LeClaire on my living room floor.

You sound out of breath. Are you all right? Sounds like you've been doing

aerobics. No, I'm all right. Just come on over. You're gonna love talking to

this guy.

We know about D 'Alessandro. We also know you said too much to Denise, and

that's why she had to die.

Why talk to me?

Ask D 'Alessandro.

You don't want to go for murder one, do you?

You're just wasting your breath.

I got nothing to say.

Sure you do. You're a survivor.

I'm giving you your only way out. You know that, don't you?

He'll rip my guts out if I talk to you.

No, he won't.

He'll be in the California gas chamber dead.

You're not going to believe this.

He was shooting at him.

Don't you quote procedure to me. Three people are dead.

A guard killed.

A hooker murdered.

Then some mercenary follows McCall home and he's killed. All hell breaks loose.

Procedure.

You know damn well it is illegal for a cop.

to bring a suspect into her home.

It was not a bust.

She was talking to him.

I dressed like a hooker.

What in hell am I supposed to tell the people of this city?

Well, I've always been partial to the truth myself.

What truth?

A lot of hooey about some mercenary killers involved with Beverly Hills

You know, Captain, sometimes you make me feel like you really care.

Well, just because we're one big happy family around here doesn't mean that I

like ugly children.

You're not under surveillance. I just thought I'd try this place for lunch.

Oh. How is it?

Pretty good.

Your friend looks familiar.

Yeah, that's Eichhorn over at FBI.

FBI?

Yeah, we're trying to make some kind of a connection between Delisandro and a

real high -powered con at Terminal Island, Charles Hawkins.

We think that'll probably be our lead in the case.

Where's Hunter?

He's over at the bank, trying to figure out some sort of a financial connection

between the two of them.

So, what do you got?

Well, the captain was still working on it.

Sounds like a dead end to me.

No, it's not a dead end. We do have Charles Hawken, that name.

A name some drunk gave you.

And what do you got on the stolen drunk?

I just finished talking with Vice, and they're still trying to get a lead on

them. Look, I think you're spinning your wheels on this one.

Now, when you see Hunter, you tell him that I'm taking you two off this case.

Captain, there's a murder... Look, I'm not closing the case. I just need you on

something that hasn't dead -ended.

Now, if he comes up with something substantial, we'll talk about it.

Okay?

Enjoy your lunch.

Thank you.

Hi.

Are you new here?

More or less.

What's your name?

Trixie, what's yours?

Harvey.

Harvey. Is that your first name or your last?

First. My last name is Steve.

Oh.

Well, Harvey, does your wife know you're here?

Huh? I mean, she wouldn't mind if I called and told her, right?

I don't understand why you're asking me this question.

I lied.

My name's not Trixie.

And I don't rub muscles on the first date. Oh, my.

Oh, my.

Is Leanne here?

Nope. When will she be back?

Can't say.

Dee Dee?

My God, I've been trying to get a hold of you. It was all over the TV about the

shootout. Hey, are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine. My house is trashed, but I'm okay.

Is it that guy, LeClaire?

Is there someplace where we can talk?

LeClaire's dead.

The same man who killed Denise is the same one who killed LeClaire.

So you know who's behind it all?

No, we still don't know why it's gone down.

Listen, I'd like you to please try to go over that conversation that you had

with Denise. Just one more time, the one where she mentioned LeClaire. Look, I

have tried and tried to remember anything else. I just can't.

All right, let me throw two names at you. Charles Hawkins.

And Thomas D 'Alessandro. Did she ever mention those names?

Hawkins. Charles Hawkins.

I have replayed it a million times.

There just weren't any more names.

I am sorry.

Don't be sorry.

You've helped a lot.

You take care of yourself, all right? Yeah, thanks.

I'm warning you.

I'm warning you.

I'm placing you under citizen's arrest.

I'll take you all the way to the Supreme Court. Yeah.

Yeah. Hey, Jim, we used to pay him and get him out of here.

I'm sorry.

No reimbursement.

No trophies. No nothing.

Mr. Mouse is gone. I'm very sorry about that, but he's dead. Take a little tiny

body and put it in a small shoebox. Fine. Lower it down on the ground. Okay.

Cover him up with some soil. Put a candle on the top. It'll be okay. Will

just listen to me for a minute? I just got off the phone with Vice. None of the

drugs have hit the street.

Why didn't you tell me that in the first place? This is very important. What?

Where's the list of drugs?

Here, listen.

Benzedrine, morphine, poppers, amphetamines, barbiturates, tetramide.

that? Yeah, what is that?

Tetramine. Never heard of that before.

Carlos will know.

Leclerc?

What do you mean, shot up?

Was there any evidence that he was using drugs?

Drugs? The man died of bullet holes, Hunter.

Lots of bullet holes, not drugs.

That's not what I mean, Carlos. Was there anything in his system other than

lead? Are you kidding me?

The Emmy didn't even bother to look.

Well, have you ever heard of a drug called tetramine?

Hey, Walt, if it's the excitement you're looking for, we've got this dilly over

deep here we pulled out of Lake Casitas.

Looks like a beached whale.

You're rambling.

Tetramide. Hey, man, I'm just the guy that works at the morgue, okay? Why you

always picking on me?

Because you never hang up on me. That's why I always pick on you. Well, guess

what, sucker? I know tetramide.

They used to prescribe it for high blood pressure.

Yeah, what kind of a street high is it?

Hey, you're the Dick Tracy. I'm the guy that works at the morgue.

Ask him if it has any uses besides high blood pressure. Did you catch that?

Hey, Daddidi, say hi to that little vixen, huh?

Hi, little vixen.

Come on, Carlos, does it have any other side effects at all? It'd have to be a

masochist to use it.

What are you talking about?

Give somebody about three times too much of it, and it won't kill them, but

you'll get some nice chest pains and somebody playing soccer ball with your

heart rate.

Soccer ball? What are you talking about? Get to the point.

Okay, Hunter, read my lips.

Under the right conditions...

Tetramide will give you the symptoms of a severe heart attack.

Yeah, thanks, Carlos.

So that's the connection between Hawken and D 'Alessandro, huh?

Hello? Mary, this is Hunter. Give me the office of the warden at Terminal

Island. One moment.

Thanks.

Hello? Howard.

Rick Hunter.

Yeah, Rick. Listen, you've got to do me a favor. Name it. Run a check on a

prisoner named Charlie.

Hawkin.

Hawkin just suffered a heart attack and is being transferred to Beachview

General.

Thank you.

Going down. Come on.

Ready?

We just got here. The prisoner got away.

Is there an airstrip around here?

About three and a half miles up that way, on the east end of the oil fields.

Okay, thanks, Bill. Make sure everybody here is okay. You got it.

You know, there's a coastline a couple miles away. They might have a boat

waiting there.

Yeah. The Mexican border is only about 100 miles away. I'd say they got an

airplane. At least we're going to take a chance on that.

Charlie, Charlie, you all right? I feel like I've been hit in the head with a

punch. You're going to be all right. Come on. Come on, move it! Move it! Go!

Come on!

This is the police.

Open the door and come out with your hands up.

All right,

boys. Drop your weapons, leave them inside, and come on out.

Let's go! Move!

Where's Zajac?

Take one of these guys and search this thing.

I said, where's Zajac?

He was the first one out of the plane.

So I'm running towards those oil fields.

I hope to hell you find him!

You okay?

I am now.

Well, Captain said you broke a law and you brought that creep back to your

house, and the city is not going to reimburse you one cent for any of your

damages.

Okay.

That's it.

I'm going to sue. They're not going to get away with this. McCall. I'm serious.

They're not. They want to play hardball. That's just fine. I can do the same

thing. Those guys came to my house. They busted every window. They trashed my

home. Someone's going to pay for this, Hunter. Keep it down a little bit. I

didn't have a choice, you know. It was my duty. If we hadn't have done this, if

I hadn't bring that creep to my house, we wouldn't have Hawken. We wouldn't

the case. Shut up.

I'm not the city here. You're not suing me.

It was up to me. I'd reimburse you. You know that, huh?

I would.

surprise for you.

Guess who's come to visit?
