♪ Shine on me ♪
The one thing that Shannon's new manager
cannot be suspected of is being a New York cop.
Arnie Hooten. Aren't you Shannon's Forbes' manager?
We've inundated our pirate market with your records.
We want something new, something big.
The company is backed by racketeers.
They're involved in all kinds corruption,
payola, piracy.
All I want is your boss.
Now, what's his name?
Clifford: McCloud!

McCloud: Joe! Joe!
Hey, Joe!
McCloud! What are you doing here?
You're supposed to be in bunco.
Well, not anymore.
But the Chief ordered you to stay there
for the rest of the week. I sent down the memo myself.
Well, I guess bunco didn't get it.
You know where Joe is?
I got two tickets to the ball game. Got an extra one.
Um, he's on a special assignment at the trade center.
Trade center. Thank you.
- Who are you calling? - Joe.
Well, maybe he can get off early enough to go with me.
No!
I mean, no, he won't.
Ah, he's on duty for the rest of the night.
Where's Grover?
Um, he's in Brooklyn. Uh, checking out a suspect.
Well, maybe Sims can go with me.
I don't think so.
He's guarding a witness somewhere.
Polk?
I guess he's off to the Ozarks or someplace?
Ozarks? [laughs]
McCloud, that's funny.
But you're not too far off. Jersey.
[both laugh]
Yeah, I'll tell you, manpower around here
is just gettin' thinner than a bear in winter.
- Like baseball? - Mm-hmm.
Catfish Hunter's pitching.
I'd love to!
Oh, but I can't.
Why not?
Somebody's gotta mind the store.
Well, I'm not going to go there myself.
Clifford: Security is the key.
This is a $300 million racket, maybe more.
It crosses federal, state, city lines.
That's why the commissioner has asked me to hand-pick you men
to work with the Treasury Department.
Mr. Lund.
By now, all of you know we're talking about record piracy,
payola in the music industry.
Now, you men have your connections out on the street.
We have ours throughout the state and across the country.
So far though, we've only been able to knock over
a couple of mom and pop operations.
What we're hoping is that by working together,
we can nail the big operators.
Now, we don't know that this is a big operation.
But Broadhurst came up with some top information
from one of his informants.
Pirates are pressing this new album.

Congratulations. I hear you've set the date.
Thank you.
You just don't give up, do you?
Frankly, I nearly did, until I heard
the new song Tommy wrote for Shannon.
I know you're just gonna dig it.
Well, I won't really make any difference.
Her contract's up with Harrow Records.
You don't really think I'd let her sign with J-and-T, do you?
Why not?
Well, I guess life's just a little too short
to keep looking over my shoulder and never in the mirror.

- Tell me something, Maggie-- - I can't!
I mean, what could I possibly tell you?
- What's goin' on? - On?
What makes you think something's going on?
You know, Maggie, you're just about the worst liar
since Delilah told Samson
that his hair was sappin' his strength.
Look, McCloud, if I was lying,
I was only lying because I was under orders.
Maggie, I can understand that.
But, you know, I'm not a wolf in the barnyard.
If chief cleared this this place out,
it's because that he was short-handed.
Which bring up the distinct possibility
that I might be of some help to him.
Mm?
You need somethin', fella?
Ah, is-- is-- is Sergeant Broadhurst here?
- No, but maybe I can help ya. - What? No.
He said he was gonna be here. I gotta see him right away!
From the look of things, you may not make it outta here.
He told he was gonna be here! And I gotta see him right now!
Now let's just settle down here.
Take it easy. Calm down.
You know, Sergeant Broadhurst is my best friend, you know that?
I mean, we got no secrets between us at all.
Anything that you can tell him, well, you can tell me.
Just say it right out.
Can you get a hold of him fast?
Did Joe and rest of 'em go with the Chief?
McCloud, I can't.
- You might have to! - But I'm under orders!
Maggie, this could be an emergency!
But if I call the Commissioner's office,
Chief Clifford's going...
Oh, he's gonna kill me.
Appreciate it.
Now, what'd you wanna talk to Joe about, fella?
- It's about the raid tonight. - The raid?
Mm?
On the pirate factory.
Pirate factory?
Pirate factory. Right here.
We hit it from both sides.
Lund, Broadhurst, Sims, front.
Me, Grover, Polk, right here, back.
- Any questions? - What time do we go in?
Tonight, ten o'clock.
Until then,
and I can't emphasize this strongly enough, gentlemen,
not a sound to anyone. We don't want any leaks.
Oh, you don't have to worry about this squad, Lund.
No one outside of this room
could possibly know anything about this meeting
or the raid tonight.
You have my assurance on that.
[intercom buzzes]
Yes?
Woman 1: Chief Clifford, I'm sorry to bother you,
but there's a man out here who insists upon seeing you.
I thought you said no one knew we were here.
They don't. They didn't.
What man?
Woman 1: What did you say your name was again?
McCloud: McCloud. Marshal Sam McCloud.
McCloud?
Woman 1: Does he know you, Mr. McCloud?
McCloud: Well, of course he knows me.
Hey, chief, can you hear me in there alright?
I can hear you alright.
McCloud: Well, there's somethin' that we all gotta
talk over right away.
All?
McCloud: Well, Joe, Sims, Polk, and Grover
still in there with you, ain't they?
Come in, McCloud.
Chief, I'm glad I was lucky enough to still find--
Now, hold it, McCloud.
Before I hear anything, I wanna know
which one of these men told you we were meeting here.
Not me.
I didn't.
- Well, who was it? - Well, none of 'em.
Well, that's not important now, anyway.
Uh...
Alright, McCloud, what is important?
Tonight's raid.
You mean, you know about the raid tonight?
Yeah, just to be quite honest with you,
I think we're trussin' up a pig here
that ain't gonna get roasted.
Huh?
These plans here, they're not worth
the-- the lead that it took to draw 'em.
I drew those plans, McCloud.
Well, there's no offense there, chief.
But them pirates ain't no closer to here
than Taos is to Albuquerque.
Wait a minute. What has New Mexico got to do with this?
- How do you know that? - Well, Benny told me.
He came into headquarters looking for you, Joe.
He said he found out that them pirates are using
a different place entirely.
I didn't want you to go off on no snipe hunt, chief.
- Benny Jones? - Yeah.
Did he tell you where they were setting up?
Yeah, and I think it's gonna be just a little bit complicated
for us to break in there.
Us?
But I looked the area over
on the way by, and I think
that I got it all figured out, chief.
The seven of us, we could clear that place out
faster than a bull loose at a hoedown.
Let's go.

Ah, Mrs. Wright. I was in the neighborhood.
- I hope you don't mind. - Of course not.
I hope I didn't misread these playlists?
It looks like that our, your artists
aren't getting too many plays.
I'm working on it, there are a couple of albums
that are starting to move big.
- They should be winners. - Should?
Now, you were positive in the beginning
when we bought up those contracts
of the groups that you wanted.
Their records just didn't do as well as I'd hoped.
Well, now, what about the sure thing you promised us?
Shannon Forbes?
Six straight hits.
No reason why a seventh, eighth or ninth
shouldn't follow for some company.
I'm working on that, too.
Oh, another possibility.
Alright, Jessica.
What's the problem? Now, you said she likes Tommy.
Her manager's nervous about some of my associates.
Oh, Jessica, this is 1975.
That Darnel knows the score.
He's the old-fashioned type.
Believes in something called integrity.
Jessica, it'll look good on the label.
See to it that she signs.

Alright, you run an extra 100,000 records this weekend.

That was lovely, Marlene, truly lovely.
You have a beautiful voice.
I hope you decide to use me, Mrs. Wright.
Well, that's up to Tommy. He handles the talent.
Marlene, with the right record,
you're going to the top non-stop.
That's why we keep in close contacts with all the DJ's,
like Mike Parker.
Mike Parker!
Do you know him?
No, but I'd sure like to.
Well, for heaven's sakes, we're going over there right now.
Why don't you come along with us?
- Really? - Forget it.
Freshen up. We'll wait.
Go ahead, darling.
What're you trying to do?
Keep us in the record business.
We can do without using the girl.

- Jessie-- - Gregory was just here.
Jessie, we formed J-and-T to be independent,
do the songs we wanted, the way we wanted,
with no outside interference, now look at us.
Tommy, where do you see outside interference?
So we take a suggestion here and there
from our financiers.
Where does that hurt us?
J-and-T is one of the biggest.
And you still call every creative shot.
And, darling, don't worry.
Mike Parker gets bored easily.
He'll throw her back to you before you know it.
[dramatic music]
- Find anything? - No.
It was just another mom and pop operation.
- But they had the covers. - They were just bad forgeries.
Nothing to do with J-and-T or any of the other majors.
You have said that the record companies steal from themselves.
Is that right?
Yeah, but it's just about impossible to prove.
Well, I don't understand.
I don't know why they would steal from themselves.
They're gonna get the money sooner or later anyway.
Lund: Let me explain, gentlemen, there's two kinds
of money in this case.
Let's say that, uh, one of the majors
like J-and-T has a couple of big albums they wanna push.
The fastest way is through air play, disc jockeys.
Now, some of the jocks are on the take,
both hands open wide.
Well, the companies fill those hands with money,
dope, women, whatever it takes.
Now to handle the pay-off,
they press a couple of thousand extra albums,
dump them off on pirates,
then that way they get the unaccounted for cash they need.
Full circle.
No books, no taxes, no nothing.
Except that the artists and legitimate dealers
are left out of that circle.
Our job is to break through.
Lund: We're working on that.
The department has a minor narcotics rap
on one of the top DJ's in town.
I have him pretty close to cooperating.
Good. How can we help?
Ah, I have an appointment with him this afternoon.
Why don't you have a couple of your men out back?
I'll make the introduction, and then he'll have local contacts.
Top jock, huh? Who is he?
Mike: I can't playback anymore, my mind is absolutely blown!

I realize that.
Might even interrupt your career.
As far as I'm concerned, my career can go
right down the drain.
I want them to pay for this.
You know that two people that've already
tried to help are dead.
Marshal, if you're trying to scare me,
it isn't going to work.
Jeremy found me and backed me with his own money,
and now he's dying because he was trying to protect me.
Now, if you can't help me, then maybe you can turn me on
to somebody who can.
Miss Forbes, I can certainly understand how you feel,
but unfortunately, everything you've told me
is without substantiation.
Well, it's the truth.
The law requires hard proof.
Well, we've got around on that, chief,
and I think that we've come up with a way to get some.
Now, if you give a horse everything that it wants,
I mean, water, oats, grain, the whole kit and caboodle,
there's no problem of leadin' that horse where you want.
Right?
Well, if we give J-and-T Records what they want,
a top singing star, Shannon Forbes here,
let 'em make a new hit record,
but along with all that comes a crooked manager,
a fella after their own heart, you know what I mean?
You, you be willing to along with this?
Shannon: Oh, yes. - Yeah.
It could be dangerous.
Probably'd be better if we used a police officer.
Tell me, generally speaking, what,
what are managers like?
Well, most of them are kind of funky.
Funky?
You know...
Oh, you mean the opposite of me,
suit, tie, short hair, language you can understand.
Well, most of them act the way they want to,
you know, they go their own route
and they don't really care what anyone else says.
They wanna wear suit and tie, that's okay.
They wanna wear jeans, that's alright too, you know.
They do their own thing. You know what I mean?
Yeah, of course he knows what you mean.
Now, look... Chief, look...
I got this thing all figured out.
I've already figured what you've figured, McCloud,
and I figure you can forget it!
Now, wait a minute, chief,
now just hold on a second.
Look, the one thing
that Shannon's new manager
cannot be suspected of
is being a New York cop.
Right?
Well, who you've got to fill that bill but me?
Just name one, tell me, who you've got?
Nobody.
You said yourself that I'm funky.
How would you ever be able to learn enough
about country music to pass?
To pass? Well, you've gotta be kiddin'.
I didn't just fall off the turn up truck
when it comes to country music.
My daddy was the best fiddler in Taos county.
All I need to do is get with those manager
for a little while, I'll pick up everything
I need to know in no time at all.
Well, that shouldn't be too difficult.
New York must be full of those people.
Shannon: Not any more.
- No. Where? - Nashville.
Tennessee?
Yeah, Shannon's gonna appear down there.
All I've gotta do is just mingle with 'em,
just mosey around, I'll just sop it all up.
- McCloud. - Yeah.
With what you're going to cost the department...
if you come back anything less than letter perfect,
I'll make the city of New York so hot for you
that you'll wish you were barefoot
in Death Valley... in August.
You're not gonna regret it. Come on, Shannon.
We've got some things to do.
And I'll tell you what I'd really do
if I wasn't in such a good mood.
Appreciate your confidence, chief. Let's go.
[instrumental music]
Announcer: And now, direct from the music capital
of the world, Nashville, Tennessee,
we proudly present a fella who's been spreading
joy and love all over the world.
Let's welcome Charlie Hoag.

Arnie Hooten here.
What's going on there, Arnie?
Hey, chief, nice to hear from you.
Thanks. Whenever you're ready to make your move...
Oh, pretty soon now, you got nothin' to worry about.
Worry?
The city of New York is cut back on every single item
in its budget except McCloud.
I want you to wrap this up fast.
I'll give it my best shot.
Oh, uh, what about Shannon? She still cooperating?
Oh, yeah, 100 percent.
You know, she's on the phone about Darnel
just every chance that she has.
Poor little thing she feels like she's responsible for him.
Why? Wasn't her fault.
Well, that's what I keep tellin' her
but, boy, I tell you, she's really torn up about it.
Last call to the hospital wasn't too encouraging...
it took an hour before she could stop cryin'.
But she's helpin' me out, givin' me pointers right along...
Announcer: ...greatest little gal in the world,
Miss Shannon Forbes!
Uh, chief, I gotta run.
Now, hear me, McCloud, I want you
to get this thing over.
Appreciate your concern.
Appreciates my concern.
I'd like to dedicate this next number...
to a man who I love very much, Jeremy Darnel.

[applause]
Hooten, don't try to change the name of the game so fast.
Fast, slow, it's all the same difference.
You know, slavery went out with the Civil War.
Now we sign for three years. That's tops.
Alright. But then the advance drops.
Unh-unh. No, no. No, that stays right where it is.
- That's payable on signing. - No way.
- On delivery. - Half and half.
Sold. But if we don't recoup all the advance,
then you've got to pay back the balance.
It's an advance, it's not a loan.
It's an advance.
Now if you don't have faith in her earnin' power,
to get your money back, then you're not being the deal
to begin with.
Shannon, tell him what he's doing.
He does what he wants. I just do what he tells me.
Alright, alright. Sold.
Now for the final thing, Shannon picks the songs,
but we keep final okay, right?
- Sounds fair. - It is?
Are you kidding? Nobody's going to censor my songs.
You blew it.
How? I thought I was sailin' right along.
No record company retains creative control.
Not over its top artists, anyway.
Don't feel bad. Anybody can make a mistake.
Okay, let's, let's take it from the top.
Shannon, I love Jeremy as much as you do,
but we've been at this session two days.
I want a sliding royalty scale, topping off at 15 percent.
[groans] No.
[bugle call]
Announcer: They all over the gate, the flag is up.
There we go.
Looks like Greggy on top of American Mane.
In a way second. Many Problems is third.
Herona, fourth. Sioux Warrior.
Brinsa there. And, uh, Rock Rider.
Now onto the last lap. Marks the second, opens up.
By a length and a half. American Mane, second.
Many Problems, third...
Here. Use these.
Hm. Thank you.
You look familiar. Haven't we met somewhere?
Arnie Hooten's the name. That mean anythin' to you?
Arnie Hooten. Aren't you Shannon Forbes' new manager?
- Yeah. - Well, what do you know.
I'm Jessica Wright. J-and-T Records.
Quite a coincidence, isn't it?
Uh, just about as much as a fox
showin' up at a rabbit hole.
Which horse are you on?
I don't like to lose.
Then win.
What's that for?
Let's just call it a down payment.
- On what? - Million dollars.
Announcer: ...Rock Rider.
[indistinct]
Sioux Warrior on the way by three-quarters...
Brinsa there, second...
And Sioux Warrior!
Sioux Warrior, Number 5 wins it at three-quarters...
[indistinct]
[instrumental music]
[humming]
I can come back later if I'm disturbin' you.
I'm just writing a song...
for Jeremy.
♪ He was a very special warm and gentle person ♪
♪ Who put music in the world and spoke in rhyme ♪
♪ And it hurts me that I never really knew him ♪
♪ 'Cause all it would have taken was some time ♪♪
It's beautiful.
He's beautiful.
Anything new?
Fish will bite. We got good bait.
How much longer do you think it'll take?
Until she's too hungry enough not to notice the hook.
[whistles]
[McCloud whistles]
Hi. Jump in. We're going your way.
Well, another coincidence.
That's why I love small towns.
[chuckles]
Oh, excuse me. I'm being rude.
Mr. Hooten, I'd like you to meet Kathy Jones.
My pleasure, Miss Jones.
Thanks.
Well, I'd like to take you up on your offer,
but I got a little business to handle.
Mr. Hooten, I have a lot of business for us to handle.
Well, a small town like this,
we'll probably run into each other from time to time.
I'm throwing a little party tonight. Exclusive.
Just a few hundred of my most intimate friends.
I'd like you and Shannon to make it.
Yeah, well... I'll see what I can do.
Please.
You know I got a better idea,
why don't I drop by a little bit early
and we can look over your plant?
You'll like it.
You're right, I do. I like it.
Three gold albums this year.
- Not bad, huh? - No, it's not bad at all.
Almost as many as Shannon's had all by herself.
Oh, Mrs. Wright, there's a phone for you in the office.
Oh, thank you. Please, make yourself at home.
I'll be right back.
[dramatic music]
It was from the office. The party's starting to swing.
Really? Well, maybe we oughta give it a whirl.
Mr. Hooten, tell me. What's it going to take?
What's it gonna take?
To please you.
Now, why'd you ask that?
Just a good Samaritan.
Can't stop trying to make people happy.
[indistinct chatter]
[instrumental music]
[indistinct chatter]
[dramatic music]
[indistinct chatter]
It's not gambling or women,
and I'm sure dope is out.
What's your weak spot? I give up.
- I doubt that. - Mm-hmm. True.
So, why don't you make life easy for both of us
and just tell me what it is?
You know I'm gonna sign Shannon sooner or later.
Well, there she is, why don't you ask her now?
She wouldn't sign a letter whole without you tellin' her to.
Hi. Don't I know you?
- Another try? - No.
But it's not a bad idea from what I hear.
You look just like somebody I used to know.
Yeah, well, couple of drink, we're all friends. Right?
Shannon! Sing us a song.
I'd rather not.
Is that any way to act?
Here you are among friends here.
You're playin' hard to get.
I don't like to sing at parties.
That's 'cause you haven't been asked by the right party.
Tommy, why don't you help her out?
Sing your new one, Shannon.
Would you like to hear Shannon sing a new song?

Shannon!
Is this party for just your close friends
or am I invited too?
It's for my friends, and you are definitely not invited.
Tina: Oh! - Tina!
What is the matter with you?
With me? You don't know?
Oh, oh, sweet and loyal Shannon.
Oh, Jeremy. I would never have another manager, never...
You are no better than the rest of them!
- Come on. - You are nothing!
You are no better than the rest of them!
- I gotta talk to her. - Shh!
I've got something to tell her.
If you're going to say her something, you'll be sorry for.
Tina! I've gotta tell her about it.
Shannon, you can't!
Shannon. He is dead.
[dramatic music]
Oh, Tina.
[sobbing]
What was that all about?
Got me. Looks like they got it all patched up now.
Was she upset because you're handling Shannon?
No. Don't worry about a thing.
You know, Shannon wouldn't tie her shoes
without me showin' her where the laces are.
[dramatic music]
Okay. You keep your hands just where they are.
He was after the covers, the covers of the new albums.
Do you know who he is?
No, haven't the slightest idea.
I never saw him before in my life.
Hold him there.
[dramatic music]
- Did you find out anything? - Nothing.
He was out after those covers.
Now we can do this the hard way or the easy way.
- Now, who do you work for? - I'm self-employed.
All pirates need a captain. Who's yours?
I told you, I run my own ship.
You're being a bad, bad boy.
My men like tough guys.
They could use the exercise.
Take him out.
[instrumental music]
[car engine cranks]
Hey, I wanna go to the track.
How long are you gonna keep on playing hero?
Man can't go against his nature.
That's good. Real good.
I wish I can talk like that.
All I can do is...
Clifford: Unit 11. Do you read?
Read you, chief.
- Anything? - Not a sound.
Do you think we better go in?
No. Not yet. Out.
- What's Joe tryin' to do? - His job.
- Well? - Nothing yet.
Sit up.
Come on. Sit up.
You've had most of the night.
It's going to happen in the next ten minutes.
What?
You talk now,
or so help me, you never talk again.
Now, who are you working for?
- What happens to me? - Nothing.
Absolutely nothing. You're unimportant.
All I want is your boss.
Now, what's his name?
- Who? Gregory: Hooten.
He said he's been working for Arnie Hooten.
- You sure? Gregory: I wouldn't call in.
- Now you take care of Hooten. - Right away.
[laughs]
Oh. Tommy! Tommy! Come in here.
[instrumental music]
Clifford: How does he look? - Wobbly, but alright.
Now, leave some distance behind. But stick.
10-4.
[car engine starts]
Broadhurst must have broke.
I just hope they bought his story.
[telephone ringing]
- Clifford here. - Is Marshal McCloud there?
It's for you. Shannon Forbes.
- What's up? - Jessica Wright called.
She wants to see you right away.
At her office. Do you know what it's about?
You remember that hook?
Well, I think she just swallowed it right up to the pole.
I told you it would happen, and it did.
I found that common ground I was looking for.
- What's that? - Greed.
Well, that's a big stompin' ground.
That could take in a lot of people.
Maybe. But I'm only interested in you.
Now, what're you talkin' about?
Jessica: Piracy.
Oh, you mean like Captain Kidd?
I mean like Arnie Hooten.
You know, I get the distinct impression
that you're tryin' to tell me somethin'.
I already have.
Can you clear it up some?
A lot.
Still haven't told me nothin'.
He has. Everything.
That right, Frankie?
I couldn't help it, Arnie.
No, I guess not.
Man's a hyena, he's just gotta stink.
[grunts]
[breathing heavily]
You gentlemen can go.
What do we tell Mr. Gregory?
That everything's fine. Just fine.
So what are you gonna do? Turn me in?
No. No, I'm not.
I have something better in mind.
Shannon, now that I know what you want.
But how do I get it?
When our company records her,
you can share in a few extras we run.
Ooh, one over and one under?
Is that it?
You know her next album's gotta sell into millions again.
So, you pirate a mess of 'em
along with the regular sales, hm?
Mm-hmm. Although, I still can't understand
why you need piracy.
- Well, you should. Jessica: Why?
I never seen two hawks with different feathers.
Oh, Arnie.
Man: Shannon Forbes, NB7 seven, take 13.

This is Broadhurst at Stakeout One.
It's a clear setup.
Clifford: Oh. Go to position two.
I'm on my way.
Broadhurst, Stakeout Two is perfect, chief.
Alright, teams go round the clock
once Shannon Forbes' recording session is over.
- That fast? - Fast?
They'll be pressing records
before she finishes the last note.
How is it going?
It's gotta be her biggest yet.
It's been a long road.

[instrumental music]
- When do I get my shipment? - Where do you want it?
- Waco, Texas. - That anywhere near Dallas?
Large straddle jump.
Good. I can break off some from another shipment.
Late next Monday.
Is Shannon gonna join us
for a little celebration?
Yeah, I'm gonna pick her up right now.
Fine, I'll meet you two at the cafe
in a few minutes.
Come on, I'll give you a lift.
No, no, no, it's fine.
Boys, car's right out front.
Why take a cab?
- Hi! - Hey, how are you?
[dramatic music]
- He's dead. - No, please.
No, please. No. Stop.
Please. No.
I remember him now.
Who, dear?
The man who just left.
Arnie Hooten. He helped me.
Oh, when?
You know, the night at Mike Parker's studio.
You must be mistaken.
You were only there that one night,
the night he OD'd.
No, he came in and he talked to me...
When did he get there?
With the police.
[dramatic music]
One thing's for sure, that shipment's going through
on Saturday.
People have promised, the money's been paid,
and there's no turning back.
Won't that be dangerous now?
Did you tell him anything about the pirate shipment?
I had to.
Oh, Jessica.
I bet the the entire police force should know.
I just told him. Tommy's been with him ever since.
Alright, we just have to make sure
that he doesn't tell anybody else.
You keep him out of things for a while.
- I vote we make it permanent. - Kill him?
After the way he took me, I'd--
Jessica, now just wait one minute.
Now what do you plan to do?
Take on the entire police force?
Now, if Hooten's a cop, and his pal's a cop,
and that means a whole lot of cops
know about this.
But if they don't know about the shipment,
there's not a thing they can do to us.
And after Saturday, we're in the clear.
They can ram their suspicions.
Alright... neutralize him.
Don't worry. I'll take care of it.
Gregory: Oh, one other thing, Jessica.
Please, don't get caught up
in that "woman scorned" bit.
Emotion is very bad for business.
[dramatic music]
I'm past that.
[dramatic music]
Hey.
Come on. Cheer up.
This is supposed to be a celebration.
My best song, for J-and-T Records.
It's not for J-and-T, it's for Jeremy.
Are we making any headway with this?
Well, the cork's beginning to bob.
They're cuttin' me in on the pirate shipment
of your new record.
That's terrific.
I got this operation nailed.
Got all the evidence I need.
Next step is to call Chief Clifford.
Of course, the problem has been Tommy.
He's been doggin' me ever since we left Jessica.
Just hope this party doesn't last too long
so we can get at it.
But why in public?
They can never prove it was us.
But what's the point?
We can't go on delivering any of the pirates now.
Tommy, what we want doesn't mean a damn!
And don't worry, Gregory is going to change the way
it happens this time.
Jessica, please, this is crazy.
Remember what happened to Darnell?
I remember.
And I hope we get the same results this time.
Just you stick with Hooten or whatever his name is
until I get there.
[machinery clanking]
I just couldn't wait. I had to seal it, if only with a drink.
To a great career, Shannon Forbes,
who ain't seen nothin' yet.
Thank you.
What's the matter, Tommy?
Uh-- uh, nothin', nothin'.
Everything's whirling around.
You know? Plans, ideas. It's going to be dynamite.
Hope it doesn't have a wet fuse.
[laughs]
Well, what have here? Fans?
Go on, kids. Go and get an autograph while you can.
[dramatic music]
[laughs]
Thank you.
To a long and fruitful relationship,
three out of the top four on the charts by the end of the year.
I don't like your pessimism. Why not four out of four?
[laughing]
[indistinct chatter]
[laughing]
It tastes better in a glass.
[laughing]
Are you alright?
Yeah. Yeah, I'm alright.
It's...
[laughing]
You know that...
[crying]
That reminds me of when I was a just...
I was just a little boy.
[crying]
- He's tripping out. - What're you talking about?
He's stoned.
[laughing]
Get your hand off of me!
Get it off!
Get it!
Are you on something?
Yeah, I'm alright.
Boy, I feel weird.
Huh.
All of you, just shut up!
Don't you know how to act, any of you? Huh?
Huh?
[dramatic music]
[music continues]
I don't know, I...
He's completely out of his mind.
And he has absolutely no control of himself.
Where are you?
Shannon: Top of the Anderson Building. Hurry!
Marshal!
Why don't you give me your hand?
[music continues]
Marshal, why don't you come over here and we can talk about it?
It's been a long time since I've been here.
It's good to be back home again.
You know, at sunset, this desert
will be all different kinds of colors.
It's really nice when the sun burns it hot.

I know it was the same thing Jeremy had.
That's possible.
How long will something like this last?
That's very hard to predict.
It could be a couple of days, a week...
or it could be much longer.
Like Jeremy.
[instrumental music]
Shannon: He's coming to.
McCloud.
McCloud, this is Clifford.
Can you recognize me at all?
You've really been on a tough one, McCloud.
[dog snarling]
[dramatic music]
[McCloud grunting]
McCloud!
That might have been the best thing for him.
Maybe, but not for me.
He knows some information I have to get.
Tell me, doctor...
isn't there some...
something you can give him to counteract the drug,
bring him around faster?
Yes, but it could be dangerous.
Well, what do you call what he's on? It already killed a man.
I know that.
It's hard to say in some cases what's worse,
the disease or the cure.
You mean, the cure could kill him?
Man 4: Yes. Possibly.
Well, the drug he's on could kill him too.
Man 4: Well, again, possibly.
Well, which do you think is the way to go?
I honestly don't know.
No one can, with certainty.
Give him the antidote.

14-X-5-3. Picked up the tail.

How much is 25 times 14?
- Three hundred and fifty. - Yeah?
How about 350 times 15?
Five thousand two hundred and fifty.
No kidding.
How about 5,250 times 187?
I only made sergeant, not Einstein.
What're you trying for?
I'm trying to figure out how many records that trailer holds.
And then I'd like to know the value of the shipment.
I love puzzles like that.
No wonder you're so popular at stake-outs.
Thanks.
Clifford: McCloud?
McCloud.
Can you hear me?
[groaning]
Shannon said the pirate shipment was going out.
Now, do you know when?
What happened?
You were given some form of psychotomimetic.
It's an hallucinogen.
Mind altering drug.
Shannon says she thinks that Jessica Wright
or Tommy slipped the stuff into your champagne.
There wasn't anybody else there.
- What time is it? - Eight o'clock.
- Eight when? - Saturday morning.
Saturday?
- Is it a whole night? - Right.
Now, what about that pirate shipment?
Ah...
Uh, pirate shipment...
Jessica said they were gonna deliver
my records to Waco, Texas, Monday.
Monday.
A truck would never make it by then.
What about a plane?
Well, wouldn't take that much time.
Seems like a train would get there just about then.
Central switchboard.
Clifford: Patch me through to Sergeant Broadhurst?
Roger.
- Broadhurst? - Yeah, chief.
Any truck headed for the freight yards, I want to know.
Right.
[dramatic music]
Looks legitimate.
[music continues]
Back to the drawing board.
[music continues]
Move it.
[music continues]
I don't think you should leave the hospital this soon, marshal.
Best way to recuperate is visit old friends.
[telephone ringing]
Room 184, Chief Clifford.
What?
We followed it here. It looked alright,
but after when we checked order out with the company,
they said their shipment wasn't due until next week
So, it was ripped off.
This has got to be the hot one.
Patch me through to central.
Man 5: Central switchboard. - This is Chief Clifford.
I want an APB, all units.
[instrumental music]
Tommy: There's no point in staying here.
We're staying until the last crate is stowed
and the boxcar door is sealed and closed.
I don't want any of Gregory's friends claiming a short count.
Clifford: That's right.
And I want choppers covering every train siding
on the Hudson River.
[helicopter whirring]
Man 6: 2-3, Charlie, ten. Spotted semi.
Location, Pier 15. West End of 22nd. Activity. Over.
Clifford: This is Chief Clifford, all units.
Repeat, all units coverage at train siding, Pier 15,
foot of 22nd Street.
Code Two.

[tires screeching]
[tires screeching]
Broadhurst! If there's a back way out of here, cover it!
Let's go!
[tires screeching]
[tires screeching]
[gunshots]
[gunshots]

[tires screeching]
Stop! Police officers!
[tires screeching]
Get out!
Get out! Get your hands up!
Up!
Up!
Throw 'em down!
There's no way out!
[gunshots]
Take 'em!
This way.
Hey!
[dramatic music]
Now, get in.
Get this train moving! Go on!
Go on. Get it outta here fast!
Cop!
[music continues]
[screams]
[music continues]
[screaming]
Freeze!
Drop it, or I shoot him.
That's not gonna save you.
