Original subtitles

This is it, folks. Beverly Hills.

All the people who can afford a llama for their private zoo and Peggy Fleming

for their personal ice skating rink.

Beverly Hills.

Playground for the world's most famous stars.

If not for the existence of these people and their extravagant lifestyle, Robin

Leach would still be hawking crumpets at minor league cricket matches.

And on your left, if you look real hard, you may see Doc Severinsen.

The house was originally owned by Zeppo Harts.

Sunday afternoon, you'd see Groucho, Harpo, and Tico cavorting on that very

front yard.

This is the home of the head of a major movie studio.

Next, the home of a television network president. And on your left lives the

who knows the secret location of Jared's seventh tattoo.

Coming up on your right, the magnificent home of Ricky Schroeder.

It's okay, folks. Just take your seats. This won't take but a minute.

Sit back down.

Everybody stay seated.

Right into the alley.

Open the door.

All your valuables.

Come on, give me that. Come on.

Come on, hurry up now. Give it to me.

That's right, ma 'am. Put everything in the bag.

Thank you, ma 'am.

Give me the briefcase.

Give me your wallet or I'll turn you into sushi.

I don't carry lots of cash.

What's in your wallet?

Give it to him. Don't argue.

Smart lady.

Come on.

Hand it over.

Give me that.

That too.

Garlic?

Very much garlic.

President Bush, he smell like... Sausage.

President Bush, he smell like Italian sausage factory.

And let me tell you, he stuttered. He didn't stutter. He was nervous.

I know stuttering when I see it. Like your brother -in -law.

Max is nervous.

President Nixon stuttered.

Nervous. Stuttered. Okay, he stuttered.

She always gets her way.

And what else did he get?

I don't care about anything else.

That was my grandmother's ring. It's been in the family forever.

You say it was worth more than $10 ,000?

Oh, easily.

And the ruby alone was over two carats.

Hunter!

What the hell's going on here? World War III? Tour bus robbery. Four guys took

down a tour bus, took cash.

Jewelry, credit cards, the works. I need you to help clean this place up. Well,

why does Metro have it? Because the big leagues downtown think it's going to

have an effect on the tourist business.

Yeah, but Metro is knee -deep in auto fit.

So tell me something I don't already know. Come on, I need some help here.

Hi.

Chris, what brings you here?

I want to talk to you about something.

You do what?

You know that Chinese proverb you were talking about?

One where, since I saved your life, I'm responsible for you. Mm -hmm.

Well,

I think it's my responsibility to make sure you have a decent place to work.

Oh. Yeah.

And I think it's in your best interest to work right here in Metro.

You do? Yes, I do. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to commence the wheels

of progress to turn away immediately to make that reality.

Well, actually... Go back.

My God, Amy!

Chris! I can't believe it!

What are you doing here?

I'm here on business.

Captain? Miss Rivers is here to do a story for America Today.

Oh, I know. That series on women cops. It's great.

Convince Clayton to give the okay.

Commander Clayton? Well, I'm impressed.

I thought it would be a good idea if I did my L .A. story on you.

Oh, you're kidding. Me?

Look, I really don't think this is a great time to hang around, though. I

it's a zoo out there. You won't even know I'm here.

I know, I know. She's my responsibility.

It was the biggest gun I ever saw.

Dorsey, excuse me.

Yeah. You have a bus coming up, don't you? Yeah, I do. Why don't you get busy

that? Let me worry about the tour bus situation, okay?

Now, who's this gentleman here? This is Mr. Dooley. He was driving a bus. Mr.

Dooley. Okay, get busy. Thanks, sir. Mr. Dooley, I'm Sergeant Hunter. I'll be

taking your statement for Officer Dorsey.

Now, uh...

You were saying about that gun.

It was the biggest gun I ever saw.

Rick?

Oh, yeah.

Mr. Dool, excuse me. This will just take one moment.

Thank you.

I want you to meet Ms. Amy Rivers, my dearest friend in the world.

Amy? Hi. Pleasure.

She's doing an article on police officers, and I'm the subject.

Well, congratulations.

So she's going to be riding with us.

Oh.

I see why you came back here to look at Metro.

Amy's going to be staying with me while she's here. Oh, no, Chris.

Allison and I won't take no for an answer. I haven't seen you in a million

years. Do you guys need me anymore?

Oh, Mr. Julie, I'm very sorry. I'll be right with you. We have a situation.

Oh, I know the bus robbery.

You guys just do what you have to do.

Okay, good.

I'm going to take a ride down to Hollywood and talk to the tour bus

Miss Rivers, welcome aboard.

Thanks.

Uh, Mr. Dooley?

Yeah, Sergeant Novak will finish taking your report.

Thanks very much for being patient. Thank you.

All right, Mr. Dooley.

Who's the biggest gun I ever saw?

It's not a bad haul.

But we'll have to put a lot of this stuff in safe.

Till things cool down.

I could use a few hundred now. I mean, there's some things I need to buy. Yeah,

Roy's got himself a new one.

So who's the bimbo of the week?

Ah, what's it to you?

Hey, maybe this bimbo has got a friend.

You can only go out with girls with gas, man.

Garlic, man.

Magic. Secure for everything.

Except your bad breath.

All right, when do we hit again?

Like, maybe another tour bus.

Nah, cops will be all over buses.

I got a better idea.

This new parolee, Nate Larson, has got a job as a bellhop in the Eastgate Hotel.

Every Monday night, they start a high -stakes poker game in room 202.

About 2 o 'clock the next afternoon, all the steaks ought to be on the table.

Won't they be surprised when they call room service and we show up?

Sure, we got a driver who did time. Call Langley, no big deal.

Can I talk to Langley?

Yeah, but you're going to have to wait. He's in New Zealand, salmon fishing.

When will he be back?

A couple of weeks.

Now, what was Langley arrested for, do you know?

Kited a couple of checks.

We've all been tapped out time to time, you know.

Well, I guess that's as good a reason as any to write a couple of bad checks

now, isn't it?

So, what about you, Mr. Trickle?

Not me.

Clean as the driven snow, and pick out.

Now tell Mr.

Langley, he knew all the bus routes now, wouldn't he? Sure, but so would anyone

who took that tour.

Listen, Langley is an okay guy, believe me. How did it come that you hired the

next convoy?

Came through us through the halfway house.

We like to help you.

Okay, now what halfway house was that?

Horizons, I'm telling you.

Roy, come on. You can't afford it.

Just let me see.

Look, I don't want to break your heart.

Hey, Jake, come on. Hurt me.

All right, all right, all right. You can mention me. I'll tell you what.

I got this new Trans Am.

Just got it in from Westwood. Yeah? Think of beauty.

Trust me, you're going to love it.

He's a beauty.

Oh.

Oh, baby.

How does it run?

How does it run?

We get it right out of a driveway in the middle of Beverly Hills.

Pure perfection.

Yeah, you want to know pure perfection.

So it's twice as much as the car.

Roy, Roy, with a rock like this, you could have used a front door.

I want the car.

make an even trade.

You know,

last time I saw you, you were only that big.

Last time I saw you, you were as big as you were now.

How old did you say she was?

Eight, going on 30.

Mom always said that, but I don't get it.

Someday you have children of your own.

Do you want to see the new ski jacket that Grandma got me?

I would love to.

Listen, would you like some wine instead?

Oh, no, thank you.

I don't drink anymore.

Well, congratulations.

Thank you, my dear.

God, Allison is just terrific.

I love children.

As long as there's someone else.

You'd be a great mother.

Oh, right.

Can you see me tied down with a family? I don't think so.

Anyway, I'm having too much fun.

A family can be fun.

Coming from a divorced woman.

Right.

No, it just didn't work out the first time. I still have hope.

Well, that was a long time ago.

What about that police officer you were seeing after the divorce?

Was that Rick Hunter?

That must have been...

Difficult. It was impossible.

Al was on the force.

Rick was on the force. I was on the force. I was nuts.

But Rick was a big help to me.

I just wasn't ready to get involved with anyone yet.

And now that the two of you are working together, we're still friends.

Beautiful.

Bathroom? Right through there.

Amy's nice.

I like having her here.

You know what?

I love you.

I love you, too.

Is everybody ready?

Yeah, we're ready.

Then do it.

I want you to stand up with your hands behind your head!

Dorsey! Coming your way! Hold it!

You have the right to remain silent.

You give up that right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be held

against you in the court of law.

You guys find the car the perps used?

Yep, in a vacant lot. They probably had another car waiting. S .I .D. got

zipped. No prints, and it seems too contaminated to pick up anything else.

Your new helper here is doing pretty good, huh?

Sergeant Hunter, one of the items taken in the bus robbery.

A ruby ring, found it on one of the guys who busted in the auto theft raid.

Good. Let's get him into interrogation.

He's already waiting.

Where'd you get the ring, Flam?

Box of Cracker Jacks?

Yeah, right.

That's how my mother gave it to me.

Your mother gave it to you?

Why don't you keep your mother out of this, okay?

Where'd you get the ring?

I... I... I... I don't remember.

You know, memory loss is a very serious thing for them.

I may have to put you in for a medical evaluation.

Medical evaluation?

Do I look like I need a doctor?

Well, we've got to help get your memory back.

He has a way about him, doesn't he?

Yeah, he does.

You see,

they strip you naked.

They give you a series of enemas.

That's to help you think, clear your mind out a little bit.

I'd like to find out more about him. What makes him tick.

Be my guest.

Maybe find an angle for an in -depth kind of thing.

Of course, I'm still doing my story on you.

No, I understand.

But don't worry, it's no expense to you. State picks that up.

Okay.

Guy's name is Ray Hamilton, all right?

He gave me the ring for a transient.

I want you to tell me about the car.

What? Year and color.

Oh, come on, Flam, year and color.

Think enema.

Black, 81, fresh paint.

License.

Come on, look, I don't remember the numbers. You've got to remember the

number. You stole the car. Look, it was California something. I don't remember

the numbers, I swear to you. Where can I find Hamilton?

Oakdale Apartments, Bishop Street, Apartment 4B.

You heard it. Let's roll.

See you back at the house.

Wait, I'm going with you.

Amy, we're going to arrest the suspect for a robbery.

Yeah, well, your captain said I could ride along.

Well, not on this one.

Miss Rivers is going to ride along with you today.

Can I have a word with you?

One second.

Look, I know this is not your favorite thing at all, but... Captain, I got to

tell you, we're going after an armed felon. I understand that. If anything

happens to this girl, she could wind up owning half of the city of Los Angeles.

I've been told. It's all been taken care of. Let's just do it, okay?

Miss Rivers, you're riding along with us. Thanks a lot.

What are we waiting for?

We're waiting for a backup to get into play.

R -27, charge R -20, Charles.

R -20, Charles, go.

We're approaching the back of the building now. No sign of black Trans Am

yet.

Okay, R -27, I'm going in.

Sit back, buckle up, and shut up.

Turned off the main street and headed up Academy Road.

We'll be on the lookout for him.

Yeah, good move.

Cleveland.

North Sea.

Alert 114.

Revere up.

Yeah.

Get on the radio.

Find out what's taking the corner so long. You got it.

How long does it take to get this guy out of here?

Now I know how Mario Andretti feels. That was sensational.

Can I talk to you for a second? This is the best story I have ever done. I wish

I had a camera. Can we get clearance for one?

What the hell are you doing?

What do you mean, what am I doing? I'm doing my job.

I know that. What I don't understand is your attitude.

Attitude? What are you talking about?

A man died here.

Regardless of what you think about him, a man is dead.

This is not some sporting event that you're covering.

Well, what did you think this was going to be?

What did you think when I said I would do an in -depth investigative report on

woman police officer in the line of duty?

than any documentary ever done.

And you're the star of it. Oh, no.

You're the star.

What does that mean? It means that your only concern is your story. Well, that's

right. No, that's wrong.

Well,

if this isn't working for you, maybe we can change the cast of characters.

His name was Roy Hamilton.

Won conviction for ADW, did a stretch at Folsom State Penitentiary, went through

New Horizons Halfway House. That ring ties Hamilton to the bus job, doesn't

Sure does.

And what about Langley? Well, he was in Tuscan on the day of the robbery,

visiting his mother. Oh, I'm sure he swears to that, right? So what's next?

Well, I've got to get going over to the Halfway House and see what's going on

over there.

All right.

Hi. How you doing?

You're not still mad at me about riding along yesterday, are you? You could have

been hurt. I can take care of myself.

Yeah, I know.

You know, Sergeant, you're going to be a big part of my story.

Well, I thought this story was about women police officers. Oh, it is, but

that I see you in action, the story might change a little.

Well, I'll flatter you.

Where are you off to?

Work. Mind if I tag along?

Amy, I think you better find Chris and focus in on your story.

See you around.

Oh, you can count on it.

I can see how a place like this could help ex -convicts make the adjustment.

I'm proud of what we've accomplished here.

You should be, Mr. Grissom.

We've got a pretty good resistivity rate, too.

75 % of our residents stay on the straight and narrow.

Yeah, that's a good percentage.

Unfortunately, I'm here about the other 25%.

And the other 25%. Roy Hamilton, armed robbery, tour bus.

Tour bus?

One of our alumni works for a tour outfit.

Yeah, Carl Langley, right?

Right.

Here, they're on a longer leash.

Mr. Griffin, can you tell me if Langley and Roy Hamilton were here at the same

time? They may have been. I'll check it out.

Good. I'll need that information.

He's not in some kind of trouble, is he?

Not anymore.

I'll raise you a hundred.

I'm in.

I'll see that and raise you fifty.

Oh, man.

I'll give him garbage.

Hey, can you top this? Sure.

Who's that?

Room service.

I got a string.

Put them up.

Everybody up!

I charge extra for each guest.

You're cute, but you're no Quincy.

What'd you get?

Your average every day, 38 slug.

Anything else?

What's that smell?

Garlic. Garlic?

A ton of it. 6 .2 grams, to be precise.

Just garlic? No clams or escargot?

I've seen it before.

Holistic medicine, organic cure.

Some guys eat honeycombs. This one was a garlic junkie.

Use your phone?

Excuse me.

Sure.

Yeah, Hunter. Our DB is Dave Jordan.

Ozzie found a load of garlic in his stomach.

Okay, so Jordan probably worked a bus gig. What else?

Guess where he did his parole time.

New Horizons halfway house?

Bingo. You and the washer and dryer.

Chris, is Amy there with you?

Yes. Look, I'm going to have to talk to you about her.

I know that. I owe you a crib.

Good work on this.

So how are you and Rick getting along?

We work well together.

Can you tell me where Sergeant Novak is?

Ellen?

Oh. Ellie?

Allison has to talk to her mother.

Oh, she's not here, honey. Can you talk to me?

Yeah, why don't you come on?

Come on in, honey.

Now, what was so important you couldn't wait until your mother got home?

It's about Chris's friend.

Amy, right? What about Amy?

She's... sleeps in my room.

Allison was playing in her room with some friends and they found this.

What's that?

It's cocaine.

Cocaine?

So?

Well, Allison found this with your belongings on the nightstand.

What?

Well, if you're saying that I use drugs, you're crazy.

Well, we're not crazy.

Well, I... I didn't know Allison would be poking around in my thing. Allison

doesn't... poke around in people's belongings. There was residue on the

tabletop.

Chris's mother found it and brought it in to me. Oh, my God. I am a grown

What I do is my business.

What are you doing to yourself?

Back off, Chris.

Oh, gee.

You people walk around so high and mighty, showing off those dare pins,

hiding in your little law and order world.

street gangs and mobsters i am a responsible and respected member of

don't you tell me how to relieve my stress please let me

talk to you there's nothing

I did Lady Cops.

I already did two Lady Cops stories.

Lady Cops are boring.

No, forget it, Lou.

I'm on to something really hot.

The police are going to make an arrest for armed robbery and assault.

I'm going to interview the guy right before he's arrested.

Get it?

I know what's going down. The subject doesn't.

I'll be there when it hits the fan.

You'll have it, Lou.

Yeah, you'll have it for your lousy deadline.

We're talking Pulitzer here.

That's right, Pulitzer.

Thank you.

Rick, last night I did a check on all the men who went through New Horizons

the last three years. There was a Michael Bell who spent six months in the

house. His psychological profile shows that he's a stutterer. So I called his

parole officer and he said Bell's working at a construction site in

Oaks.

Get on it.

Excuse me.

Sergeant Hunter, LAPD.

Sergeant Hunter, looking for Mike Bell. Mike Bell is right up there, the guy

with the glasses on.

Mike Bell, LAPD, want to talk to you?

You're in trouble now, Mikey. I didn't do anything.

I want you to tell me about the tour bus. I don't know what you're talking

about. Griffin set it up, didn't he?

No.

Griffin helped me.

Wait.

He also hit the card game, didn't he?

No.

Look it, Mikey. He's going to dump you when he's done with you.

Griffin, watch out for me. No, he won't.

If you want to save yourself, talk to me right now.

Come on.

Our twin Charles go.

Okay,

we're on our way.

Rick, I'm sorry.

It's all right. Come on.

When I got out of jail, I was back in 79.

I didn't have a halfway house to go to.

Let me tell you what was scary.

There's a lot of temptation out there.

For an ex -con, it's a lot easier making a living with a gun than it is finding

a job.

That's it.

That's what I want to know.

How does it feel to be surrounded by temptation?

Temptation? Yeah.

All these men around with criminal records, just like you.

Don't you ever think about doing something together?

Hunter.

He's coming to arrest you.

What do you do now?

Give me the cops. We're going to bust me.

You're not going to shoot it out, are you?

That would be self -destructive, wouldn't it?

Take it easy. Don't do anything stupid. You're going to wind up shot.

I'm not going back to jail. I can't take that.

Hi, Chris. Amy, please, don't say anything.

I told you to shut up.

John, listen to me. Put the gun down.

I'd kill for a crew.

Damn it, Amy, shut up.

Now, you get out of my way.

We're not moving, and neither are you. I'm leaving.

Now, you get out of my way, or she's dead.

You're going to have to take one of us out, Griffin.

Pick one.

You haven't killed anybody yet now, John. Think about that.

You get seven to ten years, Max.

You can do the time. You've done it before. Now listen to me.

John, listen to me.

I want you to throw the gun on the floor, let her go, put your hands over

head and come down the stairs very quietly.

Come on, do it.

Come on, John.

are under arrest for obstruction of police activity and for being under the

influence of an illegal substance.

Hey, no problem.

First offense, solid citizen.

Probably get probation.

At the worst community service, right?

Amy.

You need help. Look, there are programs. Chris, I am not a drug addict.

I get stressed out.

I need to relax.

Some people take a drink now and then. Please don't kid yourself, baby.

I saw you in the halfway house. You need the drug.

You need it to live. You need it to function.

Tell Allison.

That I don't think she's a snitch.

I would have done the same thing.

My mom was a cop.

Okay, you're killing yourself.

Please.

I want to help you as a friend, not as a cop.

You're always helping.

You're always so good.

So just.

You want me to stop doing coke?

Fine, I will.

I'll go back to Scotch.

Thank you.
