We will strike again, and it's signed the Student Revolutionary League. Well,

you know it's against the law to blow up cars and kill people in this country?

Why don't you guys handle the political aspect of this case and let us handle

the homicide aspect?

Why should I be a suspect?

Because I don't think it's political.

There's somebody in the backyard.

Blow the gate.

Oh, you are guilty of illegal entry.

Hunter, there's a bomb.

Works for me.

Okay, Carlos, what's going on? Not a whole lot. Well, we got a mail.

Five -nine.

That's assuming we have all the parts.

Any ID?

Only his dentist knows for sure.

Fine.

Where'd you get that?

Spectators were passing it around.

Said they found it hanging on that palm tree over there.

That one right there?

Here.

Okay, well, thanks.

Keep everybody back before this area gets too trashed, would you? Yeah, you

Sorry.

Who's in charge here?

Sergeant Hunter, tall man.

I'm Dari Ziad, Vice Consul, Iraqi Consulate.

That car belongs to my mission.

The driver, is he dead?

Yes, he is. Did you know him?

Yes. A good friend.

Then it was tied to that palm tree over there. What's that?

It says, dead to the oppressors of the people of Barack.

This is the motto of the Student Revolutionary League.

What cowards.

They threatened us.

But we thought they were only looking for publicity, so we ignored them.

The news media has been getting a lot of calls.

The Students League is claiming responsibility for the bombing.

Excuse me. I must go and report this to the consulate.

Oh, no. Here comes the hero.

How can you tell?

They all have the same tailor.

Now, look.

I'm going to go see the Students League. You cover for me, will you? I'll see

you.

Hi,

fellas. Sergeant Hunter.

Mind if I come in?

You have come in.

I understand you took credit for blowing up that car from the Iraqi consulate.

We have acknowledged responsibility.

Well, you know it's against the law to blow up cars and kill people in this

country.

You're all under arrest.

You can't come in like this. Shut up and sit down.

Now, terrorist, tell me how you did it.

What'd you use, TNT, dynamite?

What about ProCam?

You know what that is?

You didn't do it, did you?

If you wish to arrest us, do so.

We are not required to answer your questions.

Let me just tell you something. You guys want to be on television, that's fine.

But don't do it on my time.

I don't know where the hell he is. He was on his way a half hour ago.

Oh, there he comes now.

Hunter!

Where you been?

Working on the murder case of Zamana Voss.

This is Agents Bingham and Juergen. How you doing?

Agent Sergeant Rick Hunter. Hi, how you doing? Sergeant, in matters of this

kind, we feel that it's best that all interested parties coordinate their

activities. Don't you? No, uh -uh.

You see, if you have too many agencies working on one case, they have a

to step on one another.

Sorry you feel that way.

Your attitude creates a problem.

Well, it shouldn't.

You see, I already talked to the people who claimed they blew the car up. They

didn't do it, believe me. No?

You mean they withdrew their claim?

Well, they'd like to claim it, but when I asked them about the car bombing

itself, they couldn't answer any of my questions.

Sergeant, even if you eliminate the SRL, there are other dissident, violent,

Iraqi political groups in the United States.

Well, that very well may be the truth. However, I don't think any of them is

going to leave an SRL banner at the scene here.

All right, what's your point? Well, the point I'm making is I don't think it's

political. What is it? Look, this case is still in our jurisdiction, and I

expect full cooperation from your department.

Look, why don't we do it this way? Why don't you guys handle the political

aspect of this case and let us handle the homicide aspect?

I think Hunter's right.

You know, if we're both working the same turf, we're going to be stumbling over

each other like Keystone cops. You work your side of the street, we'll work

ours.

We'll keep each other fully informed, however.

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

All right.

Yeah. Good to see you.

Pleasure. Thank you.

I hope you got a strong reason for thinking this is a straight homicide.

I just gave it to you.

That's it? That's all? Yeah, that's it.

We thought the Students' Revolutionary League was all rhetoric and no action.

Now we're under siege.

I think we should change our plans and leave the country immediately.

That would not only be cowardly, that would be stupid.

What is the matter with you?

Our government could fall any day now and these fanatics can smell it?

We could be their next victims.

We should leave now.

Maybe it isn't too late for us to regain what we once had.

You destroyed that beyond recall, dear Hasib.

We agreed on a plan, and it would be a stupid mistake to change it.

And we won't.

Before we discuss anything, Sergeant, I want to know why we couldn't talk at the

consulate.

I don't suppose you care for a drink.

Why wouldn't I?

Our country is quite modern, Sergeant Hunter.

It is the revolutionaries and the religious zealots who want to return to

past. Ah, yeah, the zealots.

Speaking of which, what do you think the SRL wants anyway?

They want to create chaos through terror.

You do?

I think you just want to be on TV myself.

Oh? You don't believe they assassinated Zaman? No, no.

I don't understand this.

The Students' Revolutionary League confessed to the bombing. They took

for it, but they couldn't answer any questions about how they did it.

Zaman Abbas was a typical target for terrorists like the SRL. The SRL didn't

it, believe me.

Maybe a jealous wife did. No, he was unmarried, loved by everyone.

Sergeant, you're ignoring the obvious to pursue a typically American,

politically unsophisticated theory. You're wasting your time and mine.

Who is it?

It's Dari.

What are you doing here? We agreed to wait.

I can't wait.

I miss you too much.

I need you more than ever.

We may have a complication.

Complication? What do you mean?

A detective, a police sergeant questioned me.

What do you want to know?

If I thought of a non -political reason for the man's killing, a personal

one of jealousy or revenge.

Who is he?

His name is Hunter.

So you're a cop. Congratulations.

I'd like to talk to you about a couple of your tenants.

I'm a manager, not an information booth. I don't talk about my tenants.

I have a very privileged relationship with these people, you know.

Well, then I'm informing you that a person or persons currently domiciled

at this address is the subject of an authorized police investigation.

What are you talking about?

Well, it's a warning.

You see, it absolves the department of any liability in case one of the tenants

here is victimized by the subject of said investigation. You're talking about

that skinny car dealer on the fourth floor?

Uh, I don't believe it works quite that way. You know, I think I'm the one

asking the question. You just tell me what you know, and then I'll tell you

I can.

Oh, wait a minute.

It's the college kids on three, huh? You know, I had a feeling about those two.

You could have been followed.

Followed why?

Because you're a suspect.

Why should I be a suspect?

To a homicide detective, everybody's a suspect.

You better go home.

You shouldn't have come here.

And there's Harry Malone in 308. He's probably an investigator.

Harry Malone, 308. I think that'll be sufficient, Mr., uh...

Kesselman. Kesselman.

Now... You realize you can't tell any of your tenants of our conversation.

Otherwise, you'll be impeding a police investigation.

And I'll find out.

Dee Dee, come on in.

L -57, go ahead.

Hey, you still doing a code five on the consulate?

No, I tailed the consul, but all he did was go home.

Well, stay on him, okay?

I'm with Dari still.

I'll check back with him.

Dee Dee, come in. McCall, you there?

McCall, talk to me. What's going on?

Yeah, sorry, Rick. I ran into a little trouble.

What's the problem?

Well, I got rousted by the Bureau.

Bureau boys again? What's the beef?

Oh, it's really no problem. We...

We bargained it down to a cocktail.

Talking to you, fool. What gives you the right to tell me how to dress?

Constitution says I can dress any way I damn feel, and I feel damn good dressed

in a skirt and heels.

I don't care how you dress, sweetheart.

I think you're kind of cute.

But the law says that you can't use the ladies' restroom.

Yeah, okay.

Crazy. Can you imagine what would have happened to me if I got in a men's room?

You couldn't keep your hands off me on the way down here.

So it's a happy hour with the junior G -men tonight?

Do I rag on you when you have cocktails with the vice -count? Yes, but that's

different. That's business.

And besides, if he takes you to dinner, you should make him pay for it. He can

afford it on his salary.

Not that.

Who you got here?

Company.

Really?

Mary Malone?

Yeah.

Sergeant Hunter, Sergeant McCall. Hi.

Hi. I understand you two are bird -dogging that diplomatic bombing.

Look what we do for you.

I'll tell you, this lady from the Baraki embassy or council or whatever came

over to my place last night.

Wanted to hire me as a bodyguard.

Is this your place of business?

Yeah, I work out of my apartment, saves on overhead.

Anyway, she's really worried that these student crazies are going to hit her

because she's the number two honcho at the embassy.

Yeah, we know that.

Well, I'm not in that line normally.

I'm an investigator. I'm not in the protective business.

Well, things are kind of slow right now, so I thought maybe I'd take the job.

And?

Well, I'm not looking to be a dead hero.

I was just wondering, how dangerous is this little episode?

Well, we don't know you.

Well, I also want to make sure that you don't have any problems with this. I

mean, I wouldn't be stepping on anyone's toes, would I?

What's the lady's name?

I've got it written down right here.

It's Dari Zayad or Ziyad. I think that's how she says it. She's vice counsel.

Well, how did she happen to come to you?

Didn't bother to ask.

Maybe that ad in the nickel saver finally paid off.

Well, I gotta go.

Thanks for your time.

Want to explain that to me?

Well, he's obviously covering himself in case we decide to follow her to his

apartment. Which you did.

Which I did.

Let's go check him out.

He was in a demolition unit in Vietnam.

I said it once, I'll say it again. It is a small world.

Hunter, McCall, Lieutenant Finn wants to see you in his office on the double.

This is a copy of a letter received by the Baraki consulate this afternoon.

It translates...

Until there is justice in Barack, the guilty shall pay with their lives. We

strike again. And it's signed the Student Revolutionary League.

Well, I thought you put them in jail.

We did.

They refused to affirm their claims, so we had to let them go.

We've advised key personnel to change their routes to and from the consulate

to hire additional security personnel.

They've also been advised to stay at home at night, keep their outside lights

on. We'd like you to authorize regular drive -bys at these addresses.

All right, I can issue that order.

Hunter. Yes.

You want to update these gentlemen on your progress?

No, I don't have any progress.

Sergeant, you agreed to cooperate with us on this investigation.

We came here specifically to interface with you and your people. Well, I would

like to cooperate very much, but I just don't have any interfacing material at

this time.

Sorry, guys.

Do it. I'm scared.

Come on. That bomb's ticking.

Make it good. I don't want you to have to do it twice.

Get out of here.

The most important thing is to keep that room sanitary. I don't want anybody,

any unnecessary personnel in the house at all. How'd you get here so fast?

I was having a late -night supper with Larry when he got beat.

Larry? Late supper?

Special Agent Juergen.

Oh, okay.

So how'd Miss Ziad do?

No visible damage.

And she was inside?

Uh -huh. So she got up at night to raid the fridge, get a late -night snack.

Apparently the dorks healed her from the impact.

Lucky, huh?

Yeah, real lucky.

Bomb squad said that it was the same device used on the car.

They also found an SRL banner in the front yard.

Sure, just connect the dots. One, two, three. How about our genius bodyguard?

What was he doing through all this? Somebody was working on his head.

Medics took him on over to County General.

Oh, no, here comes Curly.

I just know he and Mo want to interface with me. What do I do?

Give it a rest, will you? They're on our side.

Yeah, I'm sure they are.

But I want to talk to the victims before they do. I'll see you later.

This is the wrong time and the wrong place to do that.

You were almost killed tonight.

We are going to leave the country as soon as you're released from here.

No, everything we have done could be undone if you leave now.

Don't be such a coward.

I am going to leave as soon as I can make the arrangements.

With or without you, Dottie.

If that is cowardly, so be it.

Don't you understand there is nothing you can do without me?

I guess I must have known instinctively I could not trust you.

Once I am safe, I will contact you.

Perhaps you'll have come to your senses by then.

Mr. Malone was treated and released about half an hour ago.

Tell me about his injury, can you?

Blow to the back of the head with a blunt instrument.

The paramedics said they found a piece of pipe in his car with blood on it.

How hard was he hit, do you think?

These things can't be measured precisely.

Look, Doc, I'm handling an unsolved murder here, okay?

Mr. Malone said he lost consciousness.

I don't think the blow had enough force to cause him to lose consciousness.

Did you treat Ms. Ziad also?

Yes. There's no obvious signs of concussion.

I'm keeping her overnight for observation.

Can I talk to her?

I'd rather you wait till morning.

I'll be back.

Welcome home.

A little quick with that, aren't you?

Had to save my tail a few times.

You're here to see me at this hour.

You know, if you'd been that quick with it last night, you might not have that

lump on your head.

Somebody got lucky.

So did your client.

Actuarial bodyguard.

They put some Rennikoff on her room.

Besides, I've got a headache.

You mind if I go to bed now?

No, wait. Before you do, why don't you tell me about you and Dari Ziad?

Yeah, the story you told me at the precinct really stinks.

That's tough, because it's true.

Now, the truth is, you blew up the car as well as the house last night.

Oh, you've got to be out of your freaking skull.

Why would I waste some nerd from Barack or kill the woman I'm working for?

Because you're trying to frame the SRL.

Why don't you pop me, Hunter?

Or check me into the Graybar Hotel?

Or are you a little short on motive, not to mention evidence?

Well, I am short on evidence and motive, but I'm working on that.

You can count on it.

Yeah? It's Tari. I've been calling you for hours.

What's the matter?

Hussie was at the hospital.

He came to see me. So?

He's more frightened than we thought. He's going to run, leave the country.

We've got to do it now.

I'll take care of it right away.

I love you.

Be careful.

I love you too.

I think he made me. I'm dropping off.

northbound on Western.

Got to turn west up here on Melba.

He's stopping for a light at Gregory. I'm going to turn off.

Okay, I'll cut back in.

They must have turned on Gregor. You head north, I'll head south.

Yeah, I got it. Going north.

This is L -57. I have an abandoned vehicle at the corner of Roqueza and

Just happened 30 seconds ago.

Wow, that was fast.

Did you see who was driving that car?

See him. He just stole my pickup.

Which way did he go?

He went north.

It's a black 4x4 with a camper shell on the back.

And it's got chrome wheels, chrome bumper, and tinted glass.

I got an AM FM stereo in the cassette.

Now give him some slack.

Well, I think you better take up the slack, Hunter, because I don't see him

anywhere. Well, we're good to go if the tool ain't lost.

I sure don't feel right about this. I think we should have gotten a search

warrant. Well, one of six precious hours getting one.

I suppose you'd like me to pick the lock on this, too.

Yes, I would, and very quickly, please.

Mr. Johnson?

Just a minute. I'm on the phone.

Uh, it's, uh, never mind. It's, uh, just the manager.

Would you like me to get you a woodpecker?

Some locks are a little tougher than others, not to mention the fact that I

haven't slept in 20 hours, okay?

Hey, if you were trying to hide a key for this, where would you put it?

In the cabinet.

Hold on just a second.

Well, it looks like Dari Ziad was a client of Malone's three months ago.

Sure wasn't for bodyguard work.

She and the consul, who has a wife and four kids, were having an affair.

Looks like she suspected he was cheating on her, and that's when Malone came in

in the picture. He proved she was right.

The other woman's name was Tracy McCarron.

That's about it.

What do you mean, that's about it? That can't be it.

Mr.

Malone, is that you?

Hey, who's in there?

Official police business.

You just can't come into my building and go through my tenant's property without

a search warrant. Mr.

Kesselman. It is Mr. Kesselman, isn't it? Yeah, that's right.

We'll be out of here in a couple minutes, okay?

No, no, you are guilty of illegal entry.

Now, I've got your badge number, and I'm going to call in, and I'm going to

report you right now.

Great, that guy's going to get us a couple days off work without pay.

Listen, you think Homs is a real target here?

I think it's time we put the console on to protect our custody.

Hi, this is Sergeant McCall, Metropolitan PD. I'd like to speak with

please.

You know where I can reach him?

Is Miss Theod in?

No.

I'll call back. Thank you.

Hamza didn't show up for work today, and they can't reach him at his home.

Maybe it's with his girlfriend.

Crest Drive.

Crest Drive.

Two miles from where Malone tried to kill us.

Let's go.

You know, I never ever expected anything like this. I mean, I've been very, very

happy with what we've had.

I never really thought we'd ever be able to go away, you know, together.

But it's going to be wonderful.

You're going to see.

That's Malone in the backyard.

Blow the door.

The front. I'm going around the back.

Hunter, there's a bomb.

Call the bomb squad.

You there?

Yes, I heard you. Everything went according to plan?

Not everything.

Hunter ID'd me.

We've got to get together and change some of our plans.

What do you mean? What happened?

I'll explain it when I see you.

Get out of there now.

Where are you?

Remember that motel where we spent our first weekend?

Yes. Get here as soon as you can.

And bring all the cash you've got.

She's got to be meeting Malone.

You hope.

Who is it?

It's me, Dari.

I think we need a command decision here.

You think he's in there?

You make the call.

I think he's probably already in there, but I don't... Let's not guess, huh?

Let's just wait and see.

What are you talking about making the call? You just made the call. You asked

to make a call, and you just made it.

Well, you didn't say anything, so I made the decision.

They've got to have a warrant out for me. They'll be watching the airports,

train station.

They question me again.

All you've got to do is stay cool.

There's no way they can prove anything against you.

I'm the one they're looking for.

Where will you go?

Mexico. I'll stay low for a week or two, then I'll head for Switzerland.

That $2 million you and Hamster stashed away can buy us a lot of Class A hiding

places. I'm frightened for you. I'll be all right.

I miss you. I miss you, too.

But it won't be that long.

Too long for me.

Dari, I've got to get going. Every second counts.

See you in the Alps.

Block that driveway and put it on the back.

Suspect vehicle headed westbound on Mulholland Highway, academia.

Request assistance.

Delta 6 -0.

Thought you'd be interested in this.

Megabucks and greed.

Usually is.

Well, at least we proved that two agencies can, uh... Interface, I think,

word you're looking for, Lieutenant.

Yeah, interface.

Can interface without getting in each other's way.

Works for me.
