And then they'd meet her every morning?

Yeah, I was not out beating up one of those girls.

What's over at this hour?

When your boss is a murdering pimp, you work overtime, though.

Help me get some air in here.

Oh, God.

Look a little peaked.

Catching that flu?

No, I'm all right.

Get it back up there.

No, I'm all right, really.

What the hell do we have here?

I don't know. Roll your window, Joe.

Find out.

What's this?

I've been sick. What? I've been sick. I've been sick.

Well, so that.

Hawkins, what's happening? Well, this flu's a plague, Hunter. They're dropping

on all sides.

Robbery, now vice, and every time I bring more into Devane's office, he

shoot the messenger.

Yeah, after you.

Yeah, well, listen, we've lost people over here, too, you know.

All right, I will put someone on it.

Right, sure, bye.

Hawkins, no.

Now, Hunter, what's the story on the Hernandez case? Well, Hernandez didn't

up, but we got Ruiz. Good. Let someone else grill him. I want you and Rigetti

pick this guy up before the DA has a kitten.

That's Ken Lord.

He's the VP of a local company. He's been skimming on a city contract.

The judge gave him a nice high bail, and he disappeared.

They can't make the case without him. His wife works at Gene's Health and

Massage Spa.

Check that out.

Wait a minute. The bail bondsman was John MacArthur?

That's the guy.

What a dirtball this guy is.

So what is it, Hawkins? More?

Yes, there are eight more cases, and there's Osgood's caseload and Webb's.

What, Webb?

Webb is that? Yes, and there's some I haven't even brought up from Bunko yet.

You can forget his name on the pile as of this morning. Why are they all being

dumped on Metro? Are we a landfill or something?

What's the prospectus on this bar rubber situation?

There was another hit last night.

Yeah, they're coming quick and fast. We've got to put a priority tag on this

one. Ryan was working with me. There's a lot of legwork on this one, and he went

out this morning.

Are we the only healthy people left in this building?

You need help on this one. Let me see who's available.

Isn't it with Bereville?

He's down, too.

What about Smith or Baker?

They went down yesterday.

Captain.

I hear you're on the sick list.

Yeah, you could say that.

Yeah, you don't look too good.

Listen, we want to sell me those Phantom of the Opera tickets now, would you?

That's Friday. I'll be better by Friday.

You're not going to be better by Friday. You're going to be out at least a week.

How do you know?

Because I've had the flu. I'm an expert on the flu. I know all about the flu.

Besides, everybody who's had the flu here has been out a week, so how about

I don't think so.

Look, I'll give you two Ram seats for them. Ram tickets?

That's an insult.

You're right, it is.

Okay. I'll give you two Raider tickets. Two good Raider tickets for the opera

seats.

You know, it's a benefit performance, Hunter. It's black tie.

It is?

Yeah, it is.

Well,

that's okay. I'll borrow Charlie's tuxedo. How about it?

Top right -hand drawer on my desk, okay?

Hope you feel better, Webb.

Peter, you'll do fine.

Don't worry.

Look, think of this research.

You familiarize yourself with your case, you make a list of priorities, and then

you talk to your lead.

Oh, Chris.

I've got two tickets to Phantom of the Opera Friday night. You want to go?

Oh, I would love to. I've been dying to see this.

Yeah, it's black tie.

Well, I don't know how I'd look in a black tie, but I bet I can find

I bet you can.

Can you imagine Hawkins black tie?

I hear Robert Guillaume is excellent.

Yeah, I did too, but they screwed up. I think they put something over his face.

You can't even see who the hell it is.

Anyway, Friday night, don't forget. Excuse me.

Um, so I didn't know back then.

I think, um...

You got your man, now pay me.

It's 400 light.

We were late.

Don't play that with me, Mac.

Look, Duffy, I got expenses.

You buy.

What's $400 to you?

You probably just drop it at the track.

Hey, you shut your mouth.

You don't know me that well. This is my living. Don't mess with it.

Right.

You ex -cops are a little heavy -handed, aren't you?

You want to earn some real money, hotshot?

Find him.

Yeah?

Tell me about this guy.

Ken Lord.

You find him, I'll marry you.

Hey, look, I gotta have him.

I'll give you 15 grand.

If you find him.

15 grand for this guy?

Pot's a little bigger than usual, isn't it?

Yeah. I don't trust you, Mac.

I want a third of it up front.

Come on, Duffy.

You don't have a choice, Mac.

You want me to bring this clown in? I want five grand now.

You disgust me, Mac.

Excuse me.

Sergeant Hunter, LAPD. I'd like to ask you a couple of questions, if that's

okay.

All you cops have the same aura.

This isn't about Lois Lord again, is it?

Oh, yes, it is. Why do you ask?

There was another cop in here earlier looking for Ken, the husband from hell.

Really? Does the police officer have a uniform?

No.

Jeans.

Kind of sloppy, like you.

Did you tell this other sloppy police officer where to find Lois? Sure did.

Where might that be?

Well, if you really must know, the hot dogs stand down on Magnolia.

Near Whitaker?

That's it.

I know where that is.

Thanks very much. You know, what is your name?

Gene. Gene.

Well, thanks very much, Gene.

Appreciate your help.

The quack getting out and digging the background. That's all right with you.

Have fun.

You know, I'm surprised at how much of this is coming back to me.

Watch it.

Big blind bat.

Hi, I'm Sergeant Novak, and this is Officer Hawkins. Were you the one who

the call about the burglary last night?

No, that was my boss. I was on last night.

We're making a follow -up. Can you please tell me what happened? The place

robbed. That's what happened.

Were you cool with Joanne?

Nothing happened. I closed up last night, left about 2 .15 this morning.

opened up today, there was nothing in the safe.

No forced entry?

No, no. I checked both doors, front and back.

All right, well, can you have your boss call me at this number?

He'll have to make a formal statement.

That's it?

We're trying to hit all the bars in the series.

You mean there's been a string of these things?

Eight others in four weeks.

And whoever's doing it leaves no trace.

That's right.

What are the cops doing about it?

Will you calm down, Joanne? Yeah, you guys got a theory or anything?

I'm not at liberty.

Had to be someone who knows the place.

Someone familiar with this type of place.

What do you mean, this type of place?

Listen, we'll catch whoever it was. It's just a matter of time.

Peter, let's go.

Yes.

This isn't going to work, is it? Peter, people

are a little more complex than computers.

Let's go to the bar that was here before this one.

Jean says our vibrations for January are discordant. Oh, Jean's a lunatic. You

hang around with her and your brain will explode.

She only wants what's best for us. Honey, I gotta think about staying

Staying away from Stevens and away from the DA.

I know, sweetie.

Yeah, don't mess sweetie's hair.

Who are you?

Mac is very unhappy you skipped bail.

Maybe you better come with me.

Duffy?

How you doing, Hunter?

What are you doing here, Duff?

My job, just like you.

You're after Ken Lord?

Yeah.

Big payday for me on this one, Hunter.

So you're working for McGarth? Yeah.

Him and a few others.

Freelance. You know, piece of work.

I haven't seen you since the day you left the forest.

Yeah, as a matter of fact, it was the day I left the forest.

I felt sorry for you that day, Tom. You know, I thought you got the right deal.

It's all right, man.

I don't need you to feel sorry for me.

So how's it going?

You mean the gambling?

It's like they tell me, it's one day at a time.

Some days are better than others.

You were a hell of a cop, huh?

But I gotta ask you to stay out of this.

I guess I could say the same thing to you, couldn't I?

So where are you living?

I left the beach. Got too hot for me down there.

I got a little place over at a music shop down here in Colon, Vermont.

Yeah, yeah, I know that area.

Nice to see you.

If I told you you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?

Give the girl a break, why don't you, bud?

No, don't. I like him.

Has he asked you to nip him in the bud yet?

Well, we haven't actually been introduced.

Bud Crawford. Hi, my name is Mary Ellen.

On your phone number?

Gee, on a handshake?

On a wing, on a prayer.

Any way I can get it.

Did you hear that, Hank?

Don't encourage him. We got to be careful with this guy.

You see, he's always a little drunk. A little drunk, yeah, Hank.

I love you, but you got to get some new short jokes.

Beaches. Now, my neighborhood.

Okay, Mom, I'll see you at home at 11.

Okay, bye -bye.

How you doing?

Hi, Allison is sick, so I have to go pick her up and take her home so she can

stay with my mom. Oh, gee, I'm sorry about that. You know, I wasn't going to

have to ask you to sit on Laura's Lord for me until I pick up Bernadette.

Sergeant Novak, Hunter, I've got a new approach on these bar burgers. Maybe

Peter can do it for you. I'm only going to be gone about an hour, okay?

Yeah.

Okay, Peter, come on over here just a second.

I want you to do me a favor.

Okay?

Why don't you go to this address?

Diaz and Oliver are staking out Loris Lloyd.

You should have relieved them.

If she moves, I want you to call me.

I'll stake out.

Absolutely. Good.

Got to wake up, Carl Fernandez.

How's it going?

Pretty good. Thomas, northeast robbery.

Hunter wants me to relieve you. What happened to Sergeant Novak? Is her

girl okay?

Oh, she's fine.

Any movement?

I'm afraid I have nothing to report.

Okay, you're relieved.

I'd better check the back before I go.

Yeah, right.

Thanks.

Give me the money now.

Sweetie, this is my only day off.

Don't you want to go somewhere, huh? Do something fun, huh?

Maybe we could do something fun without going anywhere.

I know, but I don't want to be cooped up in here the whole day.

Come here, baby.

Make a move, Ken.

Keep your shirt on, Lois.

I hate to say it.

You lousy pig. You leave us alone.

Shut up, Lois. That's right, Lois. Shut up.

No reason for her to be here.

Yeah. Take off.

I'm not leaving.

Yes, you are.

Go tell the attorney.

Yeah, give me an outside line, will you?

Go on, go on. Shut the door behind you.

Bail bonds.

I got Lord.

Duffy, you got Lord?

Great.

Where are you?

Tolucan Motel, Alvarado Lucas, room 216.

You just sit there.

I'll be there in an hour. Hey, Mac, just bring my money.

Don't worry, buddy. You earned it.

Yeah? Duffy's got him at a motel.

Really?

Where is it?

He was a tall, heavy -set, balding, long red hair, black jacket, driving a black

sedan. Peter.

Lois was our only lead to Ken Lloyd.

I am just mortified. How could I make it up to you?

Look, find Novak. Both of you work very hard at finding out who's robbing these

bars, okay?

What are we waiting for?

You're waiting for your bail bondsman.

I'm waiting for my payoff.

How much are you getting to bring me in?

What's the difference?

It's a lot more honest work than embezzling.

I didn't take that money, you know.

Yeah?

Why'd you plead guilty?

I took the rap from my boss, Mr. Stevens.

He owns the company.

He told me he'd pay me off big if I did the time for him.

Then the D .A. went for the maximum time.

Six years.

I can't do that.

That's why I skipped bail.

You're lucky I'm bringing you in.

If I were your boss, I'd be very unhappy with you.

Okay, everybody, thanks very much.

Oh, and don't forget to give me a type on the second blood sample here, okay?

Sure thing, Sergeant Hunter.

Thanks again.

Mr. Willis?

Thanks for your help. Appreciate it.

Get a business card.

May want to talk to you a little bit later. Sure.

If I can help.

Appreciate that.

Sorry about your place.

Well, looky here, Sergeant Hunter.

How you doing, John?

I'm doing just fine.

Business is great, thanks to your friendly boys in blue.

Hey, this is in your neighborhood.

What's up?

Ran into Duff a little while ago.

Said he'd work for you.

Said you had him looking for Kim Lord, is that right?

Yeah, that's right.

Duff's the best there is, but heck, you know that.

Where is he?

Well...

Last time I saw Duffy, he took $5 ,000 of my money and promised to deliver

Lord's dead.

What?

That's not funny, Hunter.

No, it isn't.

I'm surprised you didn't know that, John.

The body's been in the morgue now for some time.

You don't think Duffy killed Lord, do you? Don't be stupid. Now, why would he

that? Who else was after Lord?

Why are you asking me? It could have been anybody. The guy carried a big

tag. John, who else did you hire to find Lord?

Nobody. Come on, John.

I swear.

That's the truth. I hired Duff. That's all.

Let me tell you something.

If you're lying to me, you're going to be in trouble.

Come on. Hey, you're a liar, John.

You do know that, don't you?

I put $800 in change in the safe before closing up.

Was there anything that happened last night that stands out in your mind?

Anything out of the ordinary?

Not really.

The regulars were here, and that new girl.

Bud was hitting on her, of course.

Everyone was gone about an hour before closing.

You've never seen this girl in here before?

No. I'd have remembered.

She's a looker.

So this woman came in with Bud?

No. But they always go for him.

He's a little guy, you know, a dwarf.

Sure fire with the ladies.

I remember him.

Is he regular?

Yeah, he's been coming around now for about three months.

You know, it would really be helpful if we had a list of everyone who was in the

bar last night.

Okay.

Give me a couple hours.

The clientele, that's the only thing we haven't factored in yet. Yes, we should

find out whether anyone on the bar from this list has been seen at the other

bars that we're in. As soon as we get back, I'm going to start making calls.

Got a phone with.

Let me at it.

Have a seat, Gene. What's on your mind?

Sergeant Hunter, Lois and I share a strong bond from previous lifetimes.

I understand that.

We've always had very close ties.

Now, look, Gene, you called and said you wanted to talk to me. What's it about?

Lois needs to talk to you.

She was with Ken right before they shot him.

She's really scared. She's not making sense all the time. Now, where's Lois

right now? She's at my spa. She won't leave.

Okay, let's go see her right now.

Anyway,

he gave me my money and then he shoved me out the door.

I should never have left Kenny. I knew something was going to happen. Okay,

honey, just settle down now. Now, when Duff came into the room, what did he

What did he do?

Well, he didn't really seem to say much anything except to get out.

He was in such a hurry to make a phone call.

Wait a minute. He made a telephone call?

Yeah. Did you hear the conversation?

I don't know what he said or who he was talking to. I was just so worried about

Kenny. I was in a rush to get to the attorney.

I know, I know. Settle down now. Gene, here's your telephone.

Sure. Thank you very much.

How do I get an outside line? Pint the black button and dial nine.

Mr. Willis, Sergeant Hunter. Hello, Sergeant. How are you? Listen, do me a

favor, will you? I want you to check and see if there was any outgoing phone

calls from Ken Lord's room the night he was killed.

I'll check the files. Hold on.

There was one outgoing call made.

Really? What was that number?

1 -0 -1 -3?

Thank you very much.

All right, men, come aboard.

Come on, shake it up, shake it up. Rig up, forward, hold them.

Dale Bunce. You set me up, you scum. Duff.

What the hell happened? Where are you? You know what happened, Mac.

You had a little plan.

I fined Lord for a cheap five grand. You set both of us up to be hit for a knife

cut.

That's crazy.

I was waiting for you to show at the motel. Next thing I know, two hitters

us up.

They didn't get me like you planned. I swear, when I got there, there were cops

all over the place.

You're a liar. I told you I'm the best there is. Now, I want my money.

Yeah. Sure.

Sure, Doc. You tell your partner I am going straight to the cops if he doesn't

bring me my money.

Now, take down his address.

He knows.

He wants you to bring him the money, or he's going to the cops.

I don't like this.

I don't like this at all.

Give me the address.

Listen, in this place I just talked to, they've seen the little guy every

Saturday night for the past two months.

Well, that's great, Peter, but we've got a lot like that.

Seven so far, and we just don't have the manpower to stake out every single one.

So let's just finish the list, okay?

I tell you, I think we've got this face off.

That's the beauty of it. Every bar that was hit had this same feature, but of

all the places he's been sparkling since the last one... Okay, okay, Peter. I

understand.

Susan, are you ready?

Don't be nervous.

Calm down, Susan.

Susan Alexander, I dare you.

What do you think?

Okay, mister, you're on.

What'll you have?

About two to five, I think.

You have the right to remain silent. Oh, please.

I have always wanted to do this.

I'm arresting you on suspicion of burglary.

You have the right to remain silent.

If you give up the right...

To remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court

of law.

Duffy!

Here it is, Mr. Stevenson.

$10 ,000.

Good. Now, we all understand what's happening here, correct?

Yes, sir.

As soon as they throw the money down at his feet, you open up on him. Matter of

fact, you all open up on him. You think this bum's gonna be looking for trouble?

Yeah, this punk means business.

It's not him I'm worried about, but we gotta get this problem handled.

You know he's got a lot of nerve pulling a stunt like this.

It'll be good exercise for you boys.

Don't miss.

This is R20 Charles. I need a three -unit backup at the corner of Laurel and

Coldwater. My ETA is five minutes.

Give me a footlong, everything on it.

Hold it.

Hey, you bag of pus, where's my ten grand?

You're the wise guy, huh? Yeah, I'm the wise guy.

It's too bad we missed you at the motel. Yeah, well, I won't miss you. Now,

where's my money?

You don't think you can get out of here with this? Yeah, I know I am.

You two just relax, and you hand me the money.

Back against the wall. Come on, get your hands up. Move!

Get your hands up!

Hook him up.

Give me that. What the hell's wrong with you? I was going to kill that guy.

Yeah, I know you were. And I was going to shoot you. All for $10 ,000.

What are you, nuts?

Hey, this is what I do.

This is what I am. Yeah, this is what you are, Tom. What is it with you? Guns

and money now? Take a look around. You happy with yourself?

What the hell do you know about it?

Do you have any idea what it was like to walk into a police station and have

people talking behind your back?

Saying, there goes a dirty cop.

Yeah, I got a problem.

Everybody's got problems.

But cops aren't allowed to have problems.

Some do.

And there was that drug bust. Oh, I know all about the drug bust. No, you don't

know.

I was a gambler, so all the fingers pointed at me.

Me.

Do you want to know something?

I was innocent.

But that's not important.

I just couldn't do it anymore.

And I was all alone.

You were all alone, huh?

So now you're the victim. Is that it? Well, congratulations, Tom.

You're a victim. Now what?

All alone. Let me tell you something.

There are more police officers in that department willing to stand by you than

you realize.

Believe me, I know that to be true.

You know your mistake?

You never stayed.

Use those friends to help you fight those IA bastards.

That's what's happened. And now, live the life you're living.

Don't you think I know that?

I think about that every day of my life.

Sayonara, Hunter.

You want to get your life back, Tom?

Find the Tom Duffy I know that's in there.

Because he's in there.

You find him.

You gotta find him.

Wow, wow, wow.

It's times like these when I'm grateful that we have female officers in this

department. You are a sight for sore eyes.

Hey, garlic, okay?

Oh, it's beautiful.

Look at this, a match set.

Oh, your touch fits great.

Hey,

you look great. You look great. Thanks.

Hawkins, wait, wait.

No, no more.

I'm only the conduit, Captain.

It's taken me a while to catch up on my other responsibilities.

Hawkins, something I want to say to you.

Yes?

Congratulations. You did a great job.

Thank you, Captain.

Hawkins, well done.

Sergeant Hunter.

Well, I believe you and I have a play to go to.

Rick, I hate to say this, but I think I'm going to be sick.

Oh, no.

I don't even believe this.

I'd love it.
