Original subtitles

We're in a high -speed pursuit. We're headed south on Figueroa at Temple,

following a red Pontiac Firebird, license plate 2, tango, tango,

dash, 4, 5, 6.

Some backup would be nice, guys.

Be careful, Sammo. Don't worry.

You know, the gas pedal has more than two speeds, Sammo, on and off.

Just checking.

This kitty is good.

Very big.

If we attack, we probably...

You got three seconds, man.

Well, I want a ringside seat for this ass.

I'll count for you. Let me sit over here.

One.

Billy Rafferty, my first partner.

Doesn't look good, Ike.

Doesn't look good at all.

See, we got a stolen car.

We got a dead cop named Billy Rafferty.

And you don't seem to have any of the right answers. Hey, I told you, man. I

stole the car, but I didn't know there was nobody in the trunk. And I sure as

hell don't know Billy Rafferty. Just where did your little joyride start,

Racetrack parking lot.

Keys were in the car. It was just sitting there all alone. It was begging

stolen.

That's it, all right? I swear, that's all I know.

Get him out of here.

What do you have to say for that, though?

This guy's telling us he's a tar thief with bad luck.

You all right, Terrell?

Yeah.

Your friend was free.

Working undercover is very dangerous.

Hey, Terrell.

We'll get whoever did this.

$10 ,000 pulled cash.

What do you imply?

What? I'm not implying anything.

The facts are that we have tipped at horse races with Ben's fix.

Sent Billy Rafferty in undercover.

So his work starts getting real bad all of a sudden.

Never reports in. Now I gotta explain why they found him dead in the trunk of

his own car.

Ben, Billy and I patrolled together when we first came out of the academy.

He's a good cop. His dad's a cop.

Well, then I guess we have to find out exactly what happened in this case.

Don't.

Hi, Gray.

Henry.

Henry.

Yo, Henry, what up?

Oh, uh, victim's been dead at least 12 hours.

Gunshot wound to the chest.

Point -blank range.

When I get back, I'll dig out some of the bullet fragments and send them down

Ballistic. Yeah, well, how soon are we going to get that report, Henry?

Well, it is a priority status, Lieutenant.

I'd be happy to pick it up or deliver it to you.

Lewis?

Henry? Just get to it as soon as you can, okay, Henry? Okay.

Billy knew the person who shot him.

Why do you say that, Sam?

He was shot at point -blank range.

Will you let a stranger with a gun get that close?

Hey, Ben, what's the guy's name that told you about the fixed horse race? It

a jockey named Horatio Hawk. We'll be visiting Horatio in the morning.

Why are you singing?

Sometimes when I got something on my mind, I just randomly sing any old

song. We have the same song in China.

No.

In English, it's like, Yes.

It's an old Chinese folk song.

Really?

But it's a French song. It's just hard for me to believe that in China they're

singing about Brother John.

Who is Brother John?

This song is about a mosquito chasing a baby.

I got a feeling someplace between Chicago and Shanghai, something got lost

the next place.

Hey, Mr. Hawkins, can I have a word with you?

I can't hear you. I'm cutting the air.

What?

LAPD. We work for Lieutenant Winship. We need to ask you some questions.

Dadgummit. Oh, this is great.

This is just great. I told that lieutenant I wanted to keep my

low -key. I got to race those horses every day.

We're keeping it low -key, but Billy Rafferty was murdered.

Oh, Lord.

Judith Ann!

Honey, get the boys in blue. Here's some iced tea.

Okay, okay. Don't bust your breath, ma 'am.

Well, get to cracking.

He was a cop, wasn't he?

I had that figured out from the get -go after I tipped Winship off.

And now y 'all are telling me that Rafferty's taking a dirt nap. Well, who

you think's going to be next? Me.

I'm the one that's going to be next if y 'all don't step up to the plate and

solve this thing. So what's the plan, boys?

Well, we need to find out. I'm going to tell you both exactly what happened.

Rafferty made one big mistake.

What mistake?

He took up with the track owner's daughter.

What's her name?

Kirkus. D .D. Kirkus is her name.

Judith Ann, honey, shake a leg!

So is there anything else you can tell us to help us out?

Well, go talk to Ivan Ford.

He owned most of those horses that won.

All of them long shots, too.

Are y 'all boys still up to this tea?

Come on, honeybunch, the boys are parched.

Is that meant to show that?

Death and sugar.

So listen, talk about crazy.

Homicide found a torso.

Asked me to ID the thing. Except there's no head, no arms, no fingerprints. I

mean, none of the easy stuff, right?

Well, so what'd you do?

Well, I'm staring down at this torso, and I realize this woman has very large

mammary glands.

Implants. See, and then it hits me. Bingo. They register those things.

Grace? Don't you think that's fascinating?

Yeah, yeah, it's kind of fascinating.

Really?

Uh, listen, Grace, I was just wondering, would you like to go to the LAPD

Assistance Charity Benefit Concert with me? It's Sheryl Crow, and the tickets

are $500 apiece. Oh, geez, uh... I hope you say yes, because I already bought

them. Sheryl Crow?

Uh...

Yeah, I guess.

Really?

That's great.

Wow. Okay.

Well, I guess I'll call you later. We'll just straighten out the details.

Okay.

See ya.

Thanks a lot.

What's the matter? The coroner's got the hots for you? It's okay. Come on, Ben.

Even if Billy wasn't involved with D .D. Kirkus, that don't make him dirty.

Yeah, but it might explain his behavior.

He would never compromise his cover for a woman. Maybe he wasn't enough.

Excuse me, sir? Yes.

Well, this is before your Rafferty just came in.

It was a .22 caliber pistol. Oh, great. So now we know the murder weapon. Let's

try filling in the rest of the picture.

Horatio mentioned the name Ivan Ford.

Yes. Billy was working undercover as Ford's trainer.

I want to meet this D .D. Kirk. It's hard for me to believe that Billy would

have been such a sucker for love.

Well, great. Well, take Grace and hit the track, then. I think we should

Rafferty's house.

Yeah, good idea. You and Lou.

Before anybody goes, let's just have one small understanding cleared up here.

Like everybody else...

I, too, am hoping at the end of the day we wind up clearing Billy Rafferty, all

right?

Yes, sir.

You're not going to make the deadline.

You know it.

I know it.

But I'm pretty sure I can get the people I work for to let you stay on and run

the track.

So why should there be any hard feelings?

My father made the mistake of borrowing money from the outfit.

He was sick and he was desperate.

Now the track is mine.

I have no intention of losing it.

Is that clear enough for you?

Good.

So why don't you go back to Cleveland and supervise someone else?

The actions you're taking here, Dee Dee, aren't really good for either one of

us. I'll protect what's mine no matter what it takes.

Dee Dee Kirkus? Yeah?

Lieutenant Terrell Parker, LAPD.

What can I do for you, Lieutenant?

I hate to be the one to break the news, but Billy Rafferty, an employee of

yours?

He's been murdered.

Billy Rafferty's dead.

That's horrible.

Oh, uh, Eaton.

Facilities manager.

Pleasure. I hear Billy Rafferty was a trainer here.

That's right.

Do you have any information that might help us? I mean, do you know anybody

might have wanted to kill Bill?

No.

None that I would know of.

I can tell you this.

He was a gambler.

Not a lucky one, either.

It's an easy way to collect that, I mean.

So you're saying he owed a lot of people money?

That's the rumor.

Anybody you know?

No.

Not specifically?

How about you, Miss Kirkus? Can you help me?

No, I didn't know him all that well.

Though nothing comes to mind.

No.

Here's my card.

If you remember anything, give me a ring.

I'm going to get to the bottom of it.

Sorry.

Come on, come on, come on. Yes!

Ivan Ford?

You won it only.

I understand you're a very lucky man.

You looking for a tip on a race?

Actually, I'm looking for a tip on a murder.

LAPD.

Just want to ask you a couple of questions.

Am I under arrest?

No. Then I'll pass.

I've got a Kentucky Derby contender in the making. Why don't you come back when

I'm less busy?

Don't you even want to know who got killed?

Nope.

Anything further, call my lawyer.

Here's his card.

Now, Scott, this gentleman will show you out.

To me.

Yes!

I think you're making a mistake here.

There's an easy way to do things, and there's a hard way.

Now, we're going to try this again.

Only this time we're going to answer the questions at my place.

You know, I don't give a damn what the department's spin is on you.

Well, Mr. Rafferty, I'm sure you're well aware.

The facts are that there was $10 ,000 cash found on Billy's body.

And a bullet in his gut.

How many years are you on the force, kid?

Why?

Because I spent 30.

And there's no cop on the take that's going to carry that much cash around in

his pocket.

BD was set up.

Exactly. Do you have any motive or any evidence or clue as to who's responsible

for my son's death? What exactly are you doing to solve this?

Listen, Mr. Rafferty, we have a couple of good leads. We do. It's just going to

take a little time to explore them.

I understand how you feel.

No, you don't.

In 30 years, I never saw him do what they did to my kid.

The way Winship treated him when he was working undercover.

The kid gets close and he jerks him right out.

Lieutenant Winship was trying to protect Billy.

But your son went back in undercover on his own.

Just find out who did this.

Please.

We will.

I'm not in the business of fixing races.

No.

You just suddenly got a nut.

I've got a good eye and I hire the right people.

That's a talent, not a crime.

It seems in the last few months you've become the most talented owner of this

racetrack. Look, the place is a mess.

They have to point a finger at someone, so they point it at me.

A mess?

What do you mean?

Old man Kirkus died of a heart attack three months ago.

Left his daughter Dee Dee and the track in financial straits.

She's desperate, looking for a heart man.

I always wanted to buy a racetrack. Yeah, with LAPD money.

Why are you interested in buying the racetrack, Mr. Lau?

Because L. Davis is selling the Raiders.

I'm a man of few words and little time.

Consider this a good faith over.

I want to keep the brave face.

Let's talk.

He has everything you need to know.

Yeah, tips for suckers, man. Tips for suckers.

Information. Order 3 -I.

Mm -hmm.

I'm going to stick to logic. Got a hundred bucks on the nose on the

number four.

I will help.

Who help?

If you bet on the favorite, you will lose your money.

You know?

Uh -huh.

What about item four? Does he have a horse running?

Yes.

Number two, there's fantasy.

Are you enjoying yourself, Mr. Lau?

And they've reached the gate.

That was a 20 to 1 long shot.

I know more about horses than you think.

We can cash that in for you.

Thank you.

asking questions.

Getting nervous?

Yes, I'm nervous. You should be too.

So what'd you tell him? Nothing. I'm not stupid.

Mm -hmm. Okay.

Eat. I don't want to drug any more horses.

We've made a mint.

Why don't you take an example from Michael Jordan and quit while you're on

Great. So now you've become a motivational speaker? Don't you mouth

How would your bosses in Cleveland like a phone call telling them that you are

putting their investment in this track in danger?

By playing around and drugging the ponies.

You're right.

I wouldn't like that much.

Get rid of the body.

Dope the horse.

Nothing changed.

That's right.

She may have murdered my friend. I'm going to get to the bottom of this one

or the other.

See, she's not even home. It could be easier than I thought.

Wait a minute. What are you doing? We don't have a warrant for that.

It's just a preview.

We want to see if a warrant is warranted.

Plus, if she hadn't lied to my face, I wouldn't even be here.

Yeah, if Winship finds out about this, you'll... Don't even say Winship's name

to me. He's not going to find out. Relax.

What are you doing?

Uh, police matter, ma 'am.

We need your house for surveillance, the spotter house. Does that make sense to

you? Miss Kirkus is not here.

Oh, we know she's not here, but that makes our job even more invisible.

The house across the street is under surveillance, and I need a northeasterly

view. Oh, my.

This is perfect. I can see the neighbor's house from here.

Great, great. Mr.

Vanderwasch? Little, short, ugly, bald -haired white guy? No, he's a tall, dark

-haired man, very handsome. So you do know him. Look, I need you to do me a

favor. When you see him, pretend like everything is normal.

But I...

can't let on that's very important i don't think this is right you better

by the way that is a lovely uniform you're wearing hey how many bedrooms are

upstairs she'll show us around how many bedrooms you got we don't know how many

days we'll have to stay here but i really appreciate you helping out your

police force how big is the backyard because i gotta put a window out there

you have a warrant so let's wait can i look at the bedrooms well i guess it's

okay

So that gun was a .22 caliber. That's the same size weapon that killed Billy.

Yeah, well, we need to get a search warrant and come back if we get the gun.

And arrest Dee Dee Kirkland.

If Ballistic confirms it.

Well, they'll confirm it. I feel this one in my bones, Grace.

Yeah, I'm not sure I'd buy it. Why would Dee Dee kill a guy she was in love

with?

Maybe it was a crime of passion.

Maybe she's just more into money than she is love.

Is something wrong?

Yeah, this guy's been tailing me ever since we turned on the Manchester.

Gray Chevy?

That's the one.

Hold on, Greg.

Must be rookie.

So eager to draw your gun there.

First of all, I ain't no rookie.

Second of all, in 30 years, you haven't perfected your tailing technique yet?

Good to see you.

How are you?

I've been better.

Yeah, me too.

Billy Rafferty's dead.

Sorry to hear about your loss.

Why are you following us?

I was just driving down the street, sweetheart.

Excuse us for one minute.

Come on, leave the investigation to us already.

There's a stone wall in me, bro.

You know nobody wants to clear Billy as much as I do.

But you've got to let us do our jobs.

I promise I'll keep you in the loop. You know me.

And that's a promise.

It's a loop.

And I do know you.

Be good.

I got a tip for you.

Well, I hope it's not the favorite. Those horses never seem to win.

This racetrack is not for sale.

That's not what I heard.

You don't seem to understand.

I represent certain parties who have taken an interest here.

They have expectations.

And they are very serious when it comes to meeting those expectations.

I am serious, too.

What's your name?

Eaton.

Eaton?

Is that our first name or last name? Eaton. Italian.

It's my last name and it's all you'll need to know.

Because you see, my job is to protect their interests.

You're telling me they couldn't find anybody better to do this job?

Be smart.

Take my advice. Get in your limo, go to the airport, and fly home to Hong Kong.

Taiwan.

Wherever. Just go home before you get hurt.

You are a boy doing a man's job.

Just go home.

All right, Sam, I'm going to go back to the office.

We've got a lot of work to do. Yeah, check on that warrant.

Oh, no.

From Henry, right?

Yeah, that and six messages.

Chrysanthemums. Wow, you don't get to see much of those.

Outside the funeral home, anyway.

My love is like red.

Red tissue.

With all the passion a cardiac muscle with edema can issue.

Oh, wow.

Beautiful flowers.

Do you like them? They're yours.

Really? Yeah, seriously. I got tons.

Oh, thanks, Gray.

This guy's got it bad for you, Grace.

I know.

You know, I agreed to go to a benefit with this guy.

That bears children.

Wait, wait.

The beauty of your clavicle, more lovely than a renaissance mural, that part

don't even rhyme.

I'm getting emotional, though. It's working a little bit.

You guys, it's Freebird.

Stop it.

You read anywhere that I'm going to shoot you with Lewis's gun.

I think it's really clever and funny and just absolutely...

Here's your search warrant.

I got the warrant.

Let's bring her in.

No, I don't want to arrest D .D. Kirkus right now. What?

We got the weapon. We got the motive. What more do we need?

Word from Sammo. We're gonna wait to see what he turns up. Until then, we're

just gonna sit tight.

You did have it out for Billy.

Look, Terrell.

Don't let your emotions take you out of this thing.

We're on the verge of cracking this entire ring.

I'm not gonna jeopardize that.

What the hell are you looking at it's that

You, follow me.

Watch your mouth.

You get him out of here.

Come on, let's go.

I think Edie is facing racism at the trap.

Petey must have discovered it, and that's why he was killed. What about the

recently deceased Adam Ford?

My guess is Ethan killed him too.

Well, what about this Didi Kirkus? You think she's involved in this?

Maybe. Found what appears to be the murder weapon at her house.

Good. Arrest her.

Wait a minute.

What's she thinking?

Let him think for a moment that he's of the Hulk.

And then we put him right back on.

Yes? Didi Kirkus?

Yes. Police.

We have a warrant to search your house.

Excuse me.

What is this about?

The murder of Billy Rafferty.

Unless you want to tell us about some other murders.

You don't think I did it.

Actually, we do.

What?

What's this?

Did you just plant that there?

Did I just plant this?

Does anything honest ever come out of your mouth? Wait a minute. Someone

that gun there.

Did somebody plant this too?

Awfully cozy for somebody you didn't know, Didi.

I'm calling my lawyer.

Before you call your lawyer, can I ask you one question?

Did you know the truth about Billy?

What truth about Billy?

Yeah, Didi, he was a cop.

He was my partner.

And my best friend.

No, I didn't know.

That was a lot more convincing.

Come on, Didi.

Let's go.

Wenship, you arrest a suspect and the watch sergeant has to call me?

We don't know she did it. You found a gun in her house, didn't you? It might

have been planted.

Look, we're using her to see what we can get to tumble.

And we just don't have enough hard evidence.

Ben, you got more evidence than it took for you to pull my kid off the job. I

was right to pull him out, Patrick. Were you? Yeah, he went and made it personal

by going back in.

I mean, any evidence or testimony from him would have been tainted. By all the

rules, I had every right to pull him out. You know it and I know it. You

to me. My kid is not a dirty cop.

I never said he was, Pat.

Come on, Danny, we've got a weapon, we've got means, and probably several

motives.

Give us one good reason why we shouldn't come after you.

Any time now.

I didn't kill him.

Why were you looking for a financial partner in the trap?

My father borrowed money from some outfit guys in Cleveland.

Loan shark.

And then he died, and I got stuck with the bill.

They're trying to take the track, and I'm trying to pay them back.

And you know what? If you want to arrest me for that, fine. Go ahead and arrest

me for that, but don't try to stick me with a murder, okay?

I was in love with Billy.

Why didn't you mention that in the first place?

It was none of your business.

It still doesn't explain the gun.

Does the gun have my prints on it?

Huh?

I mean, do you guys really have a motive?

Oh, you're real cool, aren't you, girl?

Especially for somebody who's so damn...

That was a dead -end trip.

So what are we going to do with Dee Dee?

Cut her loose.

What? We don't have enough to convict yet. I already told you that. Ben, look,

don't want to go through... Hey, hey, relax.

Okay? I got a plan.

The two of you might actually enjoy it, just so long as everybody plays along.

I tell you to leave, what do you do?

You call a meeting with me.

I guess you're just going to have to learn the hard way.

Shut up and listen.

I bought the track.

I'm the owner now.

So, if you don't want to lose your fingers, leave.

Leave right now.

Do you know who I work for?

Tell your bosses.

If they want to collect, come see me.

I don't talk to messenger boys like you.

Oh, you're going to regret saying that.

Slowly and painfully. In fact, I'm going to make you beg for mercy.

Like the horse owner I found in the hay?

Ivan? Don't say anything.

He's a cop.

Check him. He's got a wire.

Why are you telling me this?

You're going to help me get out of my jam.

And I'm going to help you get out of York.

Come on, hurry up. We spent half the night cleaning up after the last cop we

killed.

I'm the arrest for a mother of Billy Rafty and Ivan Foote.

Not too likely.

Where's your evidence?

I trashed your wire.

But you didn't get mine.

You underestimated me, Eden. We spent half the night cleaning up after the

cop we killed.

Big mistake.

So how'd you get me to cooperate?

Winship called in a favor with the FBI.

Diddy agreed to flip on the outfit in Cleveland.

That plus the fact they're helping us out after free and clear.

No debts.

A happy ending.

Which reminds me, how's Henry?

You know, I've decided I'm just going to tell him the truth.

You know, just do it. You know, get it over with. Be honest.

Actually, I don't know about that, Grace.

We've got a Sheryl Crow concert here.

It's a $500 benefit. Stop it. Stop it.

We are talking about the coroner here.

Yeah.

I'm just going to be honest with him when I see him.

When is your chance?

Jeez.

Hi,

Grace. Henry.

Yeah, I just... I was just thinking about the concert. Oh, that's what I

to talk to you about. You know, I know you've been really excited about going

this concert, but I've been thinking... You're not my type.

Don't take this the wrong way. I mean, I'm just looking for someone with poetry

in your soul.

I have poetry in my soul.

No, great.

You don't.

Henry?

Hi. Hi.

I'm ready for lunch.

Oh, me too.

Um, I gotta get back by two, though. I'm right in the middle of an autopsy.

How's sushi?

Great. Love it.

Did he just dump me?

Mm -hmm.

Oh, you don't have poetry in your soul, Greg.

Look, Terrell, I want you to know that you showed a lot of tenacity, man.

You did a hell of a job on this one.

Thanks, Ben.

So did you.

You know, I owe you guys an apology.

No apology necessary.

That's right, Pat.

If it was my son, I would have had some of the exact same concerns.

I appreciate what you did.

Yeah, well, you very well.

Sir, it was an honor being his partner.

He won't be forgotten.

You know, this is all your fault.

What's my fault?

You put the song in my head.

You know, the best way to get it out of your head is to sing it till you get

sick of it.

Your turn, in Chinese.

In Chinese?

Yes.

I do everything in English. You can sing one song in Chinese.

Yes, that's fair, that's fair.

Okay,

give me a tap.

You know, your Chinese, very terrible.

It's chai -bonic.

Chinese, it's bonic.

Somebody plant this too, Dee Dee?

I'm calling on you.

Awful cozy.

Somebody it is now.

You're my hero, man.

You can join us.

Burt Lancaster leads the hunt for a band of renegade Apaches in Ozana's raid at

9. But coming up next, four remaining contestants will face one last dramatic
