All language subtitles for T.J Hooker - Season 1 - 2 - The Streets

?
GOOD DAY, MA'AM. HOW ARE YOU TODAY?

FINE. THANK YOU.

DID YOU KNOW
THAT JESUS LOVES YOU?

YES, I DO.

THAT'S WONDERFUL.
WELL, THEN,

IF I COULD JUST TAKE
A FEW SHORT MINUTES OF YOUR TIME...

I'M REALLY BUSY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

IT REALLY WOULD BE
WORTH YOUR WHILE.

YES. NO, BUT--
WHAT ARE YOU DOING? GET OUT OF HERE.

[gasps]

JUST DON'T MAKE ANY SOUNDS

AND DON'T DO ANYTHING
THAT WOULD UPSET ME,

AND RUIN MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT.

JUST PUT THE KEY
INTO THE IGNITION

AND BACK OUT.

[Romano sighing]

(Romano)
I KEEP TELLIN' YOU, HOOKER,

YOUR CAR IS
A CERTIFIED CLUNKER.

YOU NEED TO TRADE IT
BEFORE IT DIES UNDER YOU.

THE LAST FEW DAYS
OF THE MONTH,

THE CAR SALESMEN
WHO HAVEN'T MET THEIR QUOTAS

WILL BE RIPE
FOR THAT LAST SALE OR 2.

RIPE?

WE PICK A SLOW DAY,
JUST BEFORE CLOSING.

EMPTY SHOWROOM
IS A GOOD SIGN.

ARE WE BUYING A CAR
OR WE HOLDING THEM UP?

HOOKER, I'M SITTIN' HERE
POURING OUT A LIFETIME OF KNOWLEDGE

AND YOU'RE MAKIN' LIGHT.

LIFETIME?

MY TIRES ARE OLDER
THAN YOU, JUNIOR.

(woman on radio)
UNITS IN THE VICINITY OF 4-ADAM-30...

THEY'RE PLAYIN' OUR SONG.

...A POSSIBLE ATTACK
IN PROGRESS, AT THE PARKING LOT,

422 NORTH PINE.

[siren wailing]

(woman on radio)
4-ADAM-30, BE ADVISED

THERE'S ALSO AN AMBULANCE
EN ROUTE TO 422 NORTH PINE.

THAT'S 4 BLOCKS AWAY.
LET'S GO FOR IT, EDDIE.

YOU GOT IT.

[tires screeching]

MY GOODNESS,

SOMETHING MUST'VE HAPPENED
OVER THERE.

OH, I'M SURE
IT'S NOTHING SERIOUS.

HERE COMES OUR BUS.

[siren wailing]

(officer)
RELAX, LADY, RELAX.

(Romano)
STAND BACK, PLEASE. GIVE HER SOME AIR.

(Hooker)
PLEASE STAND BACK.

(postman)
I WAS DELIVERING MAIL.

I THOUGHT IT WAS
SOME KIND OF DOMESTIC FIGHT.

[Carol sobbing]

(Hooker)
ALL RIGHT, MA'AM. AN AMBULANCE IS ON ITS WAY.

DID YOU SEE WHICH WAY
THE SUSPECT WENT?

NO. I JUST SAW THEM
SITTIN' IN THE CAR

AND HE HIT HER
A COUPLE OF TIMES.

HE--HE--HE--HE...

(Hooker)
GET THAT CAMERA OUT OF HERE, PLEASE!

TRACY HILL, CHANNEL 6 NEWS.

I DON'T CARE
IF YOU'RE WALTER CRONKITE.

BACK OFF, MISTER.
EXCUSE ME, PLEASE.

[sobbing]
HE--HE BEAT ME, THEN HE ROBBED ME.

AND THEN HE SAID,

"THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FOR YOUR TIME.

GOD LOVES YOU."

AND THEN HE HANDED ME THAT.

JUST RELAX, LADY.

HELP IS ON ITS WAY.

ANOTHER BIBLE.
IT'S HIM.

SERGEANT,
IS THIS ANOTHER ATTACK BY THE BIBLE MUGGER?

UH, NO COMMENT.

THAT'S ALL WE SEEM
TO BE GETTING FROM YOUR PEOPLE.

IT'S NO COMMENT
AND NO PROGRESS.

WOULD YOU GET THAT CAMERA
OUT OF HERE?

EDDIE, YOU KEEP ROLLING.

THIS WOMAN HAS BEEN
BRUTALLY BEATEN,

YOU FOUND A BIBLE
WHICH IS THE SIGNATURE

OF THE MUGGER WHO'S BEEN
TERRORIZING THE CITY--

I SAID GET THAT CAMERA
OUT OF MY FACE!

ALL RIGHT, EDDIE.
PULL THE PLUG.

I DON'T THINK
HE LIKES US MUCH.

WITH YOU,
THAT'S UNDERSTANDABLE.

ME, I'LL GROW ON HIM.

(Vicki)
OK.

[telephone ringing]

I DON'T GET IT, HOOKER.

IS THIS MUGGER CHARACTER
A RELIGIOUS NUT WHO LIKES TO ABUSE WOMEN?

OR IS HE JUST, UH,
OUT FOR THE MONEY?

AH, YOU FIGURE IT OUT.

HE BEATS 'EM UP,
GIVES 'EM A SERMOM,

AND THEN TAKES AN OFFERING
OF CASH OR JEWELRY, WHATEVER THEY'VE GOT.

THEN LEAVES 'EM A BIBLE.

ALL IN THE NAME OF GOD.

TALK ABOUT WEIRD.

FREAK CITY.

LET'S GET THIS CREEP
OFF THE STREETS

AND THEN LET THE DOCTORS
FIGURE IT OUT.

CAN I TALK TO YOU A MINUTE?

THERE HAVE BEEN
4 ATTACKS ON WOMEN IN YOUR PRECINCT

BY SOME PSYCHO
WHO LEAVES BIBLES BEHIND.

YOU HAVE AN M.O.

AND YOU HAVE A DESCRIPTION
FROM EACH OF THE VICTIMS.

SO WHAT EXACTLY IS HAPPENING
WITH THIS CASE?

WELL, AS SOON AS
WE HAVE SOMETHING ON THE MUGGINGS, TRACY,

I PROMISE I'LL GIVE YOU
THE FIRST SHOT AT IT.

OH, THAT'D BE SUPER.

BUT, YOU KNOW,
I'VE JUST HAD A FLASH ON WHAT I'D REALLY LIKE,

WHAT COULD BE
THE CORE OF OUR DOCUMENTARY.

I'D LIKE TO RIDE
IN ONE OF YOUR PATROL CARS

ON A REGULAR WATCH.

I DON'T SEE
ANY PROBLEM WITH THAT.

OH, GOOD. GOOD.

UM, WITH THOSE 2 OFFICERS,
HOOKER AND ROMANO, ISN'T IT?

WELL, HOOKER AND ROMANO
AREN'T EXACTLY WHAT YOU'D CALL

THE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S
PUBLIC RELATIONS EXPERTS.

I RECALL A CONTROVERSY

WHEN SGT. HOOKER
WAS DISCIPLINED

FOR A SHOOTING INCIDENT.

BUT, HE ALSO HAS,
AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG,

A MEDAL OF VALOR

AND AN IMPRESSIVE LIST
OF COMMENDATIONS.

BELIEVE ME,
YOU'D BE WASTING YOUR TIME.

CAPTAIN,

WE'RE SHOOTING
AN HOUR OF TAPE.

NOW, AS ATTRACTIVE
AS I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU LOOK,

IT CAN'T BE ALL YOU.

HOOKER, ROMANO!

COME HERE.

SGT. HOOKER, OFF. ROMANO,
TRACY HILL.

WE'VE MET.

YES, WE HAVE.

I--I APOLOGIZE IF
WE GOT IN YOUR WAY TODAY. THAT WAS MY FAULT.

I JUST HAVE
THIS NATURAL INSTINCT FOR FISHING.

WELL, YOU TRY IT AGAIN
WITH ME, YOU'LL BE LOOKING FOR A NEW CREEK.

SEE WHAT I MEAN?
YEAH.

DON'T MIND MY PARTNER,
MISS HILL.

I CAUGHT THAT PIECE YOU DID
ON YOUTH GANGS.

AND I REALLY LIKED IT.
IT HAD A NICE PERSPECTIVE.

WHY, THANK YOU.

I HAVE AN EVEN BETTER ANGLE
ON YOU AND SGT. HOOKER.

YEAH? YOU GONNA MAKE US STARS?

WELL, COULD BE.

WEREN'T YOU RECRUITED
IN THAT NEW ON-THE-JOB TRAINING PROGRAM

THAT SGT. HOOKER TAUGHT
AT THE ACADEMY?

I'M STILL PART OF IT.
I'M IN THE PROBATION PHASE OF MY TRAINING,

LIVING AT THE ACADEMY BARRACKS

TILL I PUT IN ENOUGH DUTY
FOR GRADUATION.

YOU SEE.
THAT'S PERFECT.

I CAN USE ALL OF THAT
IN MY STORY.

WHAT ARE WE TALKIN'
ABOUT HERE, CAPTAIN?

MISS HILL IS DOING
A NEWS DOCUMENTARY.

SHE'LL BE RIDING WITH YOU
AND ROMANO TOMORROW.

CAPT. SHERIDAN,
IT'S ROUGH ENOUGH OUT THERE ON THE STREETS

WITHOUT BEING ANCHORED
WITH SOME NEWS HEN. NO OFFENSE.

I'LL BET.

OH, THIS WAS APPROVED
DOWNTOWN.

YOU'RE BEING TOLD, HOOKER,
NOT ASKED.

NOW, I'LL LEAVE
THE THREE OF YOU TO WORK IT OUT.

YOU KNOW,
IF YOU'LL JUST COOPERATE,

LIFE COULD BE
A LOT EASIER.

YOUR LIFE. NOT MINE.

WHEN WE HIT THOSE STREETS,
MISS HILL,

IT'S REAL AND IT'S ROUGH.

NOT SOME T.V. ROAD SHOW.

I GUESS WHEN YOU
GET TO KNOW HIM, HE'S JUST A PUSSYCAT?

WELL, IF I EVER REALLY
GET TO KNOW HIM,

I'LL BE SURE
TO LET YOU KNOW.

[sighing]

GOOD NIGHT, SUSY.

SEE YOU TOMORROW.

[engine sputtering]

OH, NOT THE BATTERY AGAIN.

[engine continues sputtering]

CAN I HELP YOU?

(Hooker)
...NEWS LADY COMES IN.

THERE YOU GO, HOOKER.

WHAT NO DATE TONIGHT,
ROMANO?

SHE'S DUE ANY MINUTE.

YEAH, HE'S ON A ROLL.
LIKE A CONSECUTIVE GAME STREAK.

OH, WELL,
IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, ROMANO,

YOUR LITTLE BIT OF HEAVEN
JUST GLIDED THROUGH THE DOOR.

UH, I'LL BE
IN MY PRIVATE BOOTH.

LISTEN,
IF I HAVE TO SPLIT,

I DON'T WANT TO
LEAVE YOU STRANDED. HOW'S YOUR TURKEY CAR RUNNIN'?

LIKE ME.
AFTER A LITTLE OIL, SMOOTH.

GREAT.
THEN IT'LL BE RUNNIN' NICE AND GOOD FOR MELVIN.

MELVIN?

HE'S A CAR DEALER FRIEND
OF MINE. HE'LL FIX YOU UP.

I DON'T WANNA BE FIXED UP.

TRUST ME, PARTNER.
TRUST ME.

HI, VINCE.
AM I LATE?

NOT AT ALL.
STEP INTO MY PRIVATE BOOTH.

SHERRY, HIT ME AGAIN.

(Tracy)
MAKE IT 2.

THAT STOOL'S SPOKEN FOR.

WELL,
HELLO TO YOU TOO, HOOKER.

OH, I'M FINE.
JUST FINE. THANK YOU.

WELL, NOW THAT
WE'RE OLD, DEAR FRIENDS,

I'M INTERESTED
IN THIS MUGGER CASE.

WHAT CAN YOU
TELL ME ABOUT IT?

WHY DON'T YOU
ASK THE DETECTIVES ASSIGNED TO IT?

THANK YOU.

YOU NEVER HAVE SEEN
ANY OF MY WORK, HAVE YOU?

I LIVE IN A FRINGE AREA.
I DON'T GET CHANNEL 6.

WELL, HOW DO YOU KNOW
THAT I'M NOT

AS GOOD A REPORTER
AS YOU THINK YOU ARE A COP?

IT'S THE MEDIA, RIGHT?

YOU DON'T THINK
IT'S RELIABLE?

HMM.

IT'S RELIABLE,
OH, TOO RELIABLE.

NUMBINGLY PREDICTABLE.

PREDICTABLE?

SURE.

AS SOON AS THE LATEST
AXE MURDERER IS CAPTURED,

A SWARM OF REPORTERS
CONVERGES ON THE NEIGHBORS,

THE MILKMAN,
ASSORTED DISTANT RELATIVES.

"YOU KNEW HIM,
WHAT WAS HE LIKE?"

AND THE NEIGHBOR,

WHO'S FLATTERED
TO BE INTERVIEWED, SAYS,

"OH, HE WAS A REGULAR FELLA.

"HE HAD A SMILE
ON HIS FACE FOR EVERYBODY.

I CAN'T BELIEVE
THAT HE KILLED ALL THOSE PEOPLE."

WELL, A LOT OF PEOPLE
THINK THAT WE DO A PRETTY GOOD JOB

UNDER A LOT OF PRESSURE.

YEAH, MAYBE THEY'RE RIGHT.
WHAT CAN I TELL YOU?

YOU KNOW,
IF YOU'VE BEEN BURNED, HOOKER, I AM SORRY.

BUT IT WAS NOT BY ME.

LISTEN, BABY,
Y-YOU ALREADY GOT WHAT YOU WANTED.

YOU'RE RIDING WITH US.

SO, WHY DON'T YOU
LEAVE IT LAY, HUH?

YOU KNOW, I CAN
READ YOU LIKE A BOOK.

YEAH?

YEAH.

A REGULAR NIGHTCAP
EVERY P.M. IN HERE SINCE YOU WERE A ROOKIE.

SAME STOOL
BECAUSE YOU'RE SUPERSTITIOUS.

A DOUBLE BECAUSE
IT GETS YOU THERE FASTER

AND YOU'RE A MAN
WHO DOESN'T LIKE TO WASTE TIME.

BORN AND RAISED
WITHIN 10 MILES OF THE PRECINCT,

BUT YOU STILL
DON'T HAVE ANY ROOTS,

AND ALL YOUR FRIENDS
ARE COPS

BECAUSE YOU DON'T TRUST
ANYBODY ELSE.

AND YOU'RE CLOSER
TO YOUR PARTNER

THAN YOU WILL BE
TO ANY WOMAN EVER.

DIVORCED,

PROBABLY BECAUSE
THE WOMAN COULDN'T HANDLE

STANDING IN LINE
2ND TO THE DEPARTMENT,

OR WAITING
FOR A 2:00 A.M. PHONE CALL

TELLING HER THAT
YOU'VE BEEN BLOWN AWAY.

HOW AM I DOING SO FAR?

FAIR.

FAIR? JUST FAIR?

MY BATTING AVERAGE
IS USUALLY HIGHER THAN THAT.

FAIR...

FOR A GIRL FROM CINCINNATI,
OR IS IT CLEVELAND?

NO MATTER.

WHAT'S IMPORTANT
IS YOU MADE IT

FROM THE SMALL TOWN
TO THE BIG TIME,

CHALKED UP SOME
IMPRESSIVE CREDITS,

AND YOU'RE WITHIN
SHOUTING DISTANCE OF A NETWORK JOB.

YOU'RE A FEMINIST,
BUT A REALIST.

YOU'LL HAVE A DOUBLE SHOT
WITH A COP TO GET AN ANGLE

WHEN YOU'D RATHER HAVE
A GLASS OF WHITE WINE,

A GOOD YEAR.

YOU'RE SINGLE,

BUT YOU LIVE ALONE
BECAUSE RELATIONSHIPS

CAN GET IN THE WAY
OF A CAREER.

WATCH BARBARA WALTERS' TAPES
EVERY WEEKEND,

RELIGIOUSLY SEND
YOUR PRESS CLIPPINGS HOME

TO MOM AND DAD
AND THE 2 SISTERS,

AND YOU KNOW THAT A STORY
ABOUT COPS WOULD BE DYNAMITE

BECAUSE IT'S HIGH DRAMA,
LIFE AND DEATH,

RATING POINTS.

EXCUSE ME.

I GOTTA GET GOING.

I DON'T WANNA
MISS THE BALLGAME...

ON RADIO.

HOOKER,

IT'S ST. LOUIS.

AND IT'S ONE BROTHER
AND ONE SISTER.

COPS AND ROBBERS
ISN'T A GAME TO ME, MISS HILL.

I'VE SEEN TOO MUCH
LIFE AND DEATH,

TOO MANY ALCOHOLIC COPS
BECAUSE THEY'RE SHAKING INSIDE,

TOO MANY DIVORCES
AND SUICIDES BECAUSE OF STRESS.

TOO MANY GOOD MEN
GIVEN A COP'S FUNERAL

BECAUSE SOME UNFEELING,
UNTHINKING SCUM

PULLS A TRIGGER ON 'EM.

[engine sputtering]

[engine backfiring]

SMOOTH.

[siren wailing]

[tires screeching]

ZABROWSKI.

HOOKER.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ANOTHER ONE, HOOKER.

JUST LIKE THE ONE
YOU AND ROMANO FOUND.

BIBLE LAID NEXT TO HER
ON THE SEAT.

ANYBODY SEE THE SUSPECT?

JUST HER.

MALE CAUCASIAN,
BLOND HAIR,

5'11'', 150, WAS WEARIN'
A YELLOW WINDBREAKER.

APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE,
DISAPPEARED THE SAME WAY.

A YELLOW WINDBREAKER.

WHAT?

I THINK I JUST SAW HIM
AT THE BUS STAND!

[tires screeching]

[tires screeching]

POLICE!
HOLD ON A MINUTE, I WANT TO TALK TO YOU.

HOLD IT THERE!

HALT! POLICE!

[tires screeching]

(Lisa)
YES, THAT'S HIM. THAT'S THE MAN.

ARE YOU SURE, MISS THOMAS?

IT'S A FACE I'LL HAVE
NIGHTMARES OVER.

I'M POSITIVE.

HOOKER?

YEAH. NO QUESTION.
THAT'S THE MAN I CHASED.

AND LOST.

WELL, EXCUSE ME.
I WAS OFF DUTY AT THE TIME.

I COULDN'T FIND
A TELPHONE BOOTH TO CHANGE IN.

STEP OVER HERE.
COME ON.

(Sheridan)
HOW ABOUT THE BIBLE, JACKSON?

JUST THE SAME
AS BEFORE, SIR.

PARTIAL PRINTS,
NOTHING WE COULD I.D.

WHAT ABOUT THE PUBLISHER?

WHERE, HOW WAS IT PURCHASED?

BIGGEST VOLUME IS SOLD
THROUGH A MAIL ORDER HOUSE IN PHOENIX.

I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING
BUT THE LICENSE NUMBER ON THE CAB

THE SUSPECT TOOK OFF IN.

THE CAB COMPANY DISPATCHER
SAID THAT NONE OF HIS CABS

WERE LOGGED IN
ANYWHERE NEAR THE LOCATION AT THE TIME YOU CLAIMED.

COOL IT, JACKSON.

ALL RIGHT, JACKSON,
I WANT A FULL RUN ON THE SKETCH

AND ALL THE PARTICULARS

AND I WANT IT DISTRIBUTED
TO ALL UNITS IMMEDIATELY.

YES, SIR.

HOOKER.
YES, SIR.

YOU AND ROMANO
WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN ON THE STREETS 20 MINUTES AGO.

YES, SIR.

ONE OF MICKEY'S HANDS
MUST BE SLOW.

SERGEANT, COULD I GET A COPY
OF THAT COMPOSITE?

OH, THE COMPOSITE
IS GIVEN OUT BY DIVISION,

WE COULD DROP YOU OFF
IF YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA MISS SOMETHING.

NOT ON YOUR LIFE.
MY EQUIPMENT'S ALREADY IN YOUR CAR.

NOT ALL OF IT,
MISS HILL.

NOT ALL OF IT.

ROMANO, WAS THAT A COMPLIMENT,

OR JUST A CHAUVINIST DIG?

I'M NOT SURE.

BUT HOOKER IS
AN ACKNOWLEDGED EXPERT

ON, UH, EQUIPMENT.

(Tracy)
WHAT ABOUT THIS BIBLE MUGGER

WHO'S BEEN
TERRORIZING THIS CITY?

SGT. HOOKER,
DO YOU HAVE A THEORY ON THAT?

YOU MEAN
HIS PSYCHOLOGICAL MOTIVATION,

HIS SOCIOPATHIC PATTERNS,

HIS MESSED UP CHILDHOOD,

WHETHER OR NOT
HE RESENTED HIS MOTHER?

THEN YOU DON'T AGREE
WITH THE PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE

THAT WAS DRAWN UP
BY THE DETECTIVES?

I AGREE WITH ANYTHING
THAT'LL HELP STOP WHAT'S HAPPENING OUT HERE.

BUT MOST PERPETRATORS
DO WHAT THEY DO

BECAUSE THEY HATE,
THEY WANT.

THEY DO THINGS
TO OTHER PEOPLE

BECAUSE IT'S EASIER
TO ROB THEM

THAN IT IS TO WORK.

(woman on radio)
4-ADAM-30, 4-ADAM-30.

SEE THE MAN,
686 LONGVIEW, RIDGEWOOD CLEANERS,

REGARDING
AN ABANDONED VEHICLE.

4 ADAM 30, ROGER.

HOOKER,

THIS CAR'S BEEN HERE

SINCE THE DAY
THAT WOMAN WAS ATTACKED.

I DIDN'T WANT
TO BOTHER YOU WITH IT,

BUT WHEN I THOUGHT
ABOUT THIS MUGGER,

HOW HE APPEARS
OUT OF NOWHERE

AND THEN HE DISAPPEARS
WITHOUT A TRACE--

YOU DID THE RIGHT THING, JOE.
THANK YOU.

DON'T TOUCH IT!

IT'S LOCKED OVER HERE.

WELL, IT'S UNLOCKED HERE,

BUT WE DON'T GO IN.

WHY?
NO WARRANT.

DOES THAT UPSET YOU?

IT'S THE LAW.

I MEAN, DOES IT BOTHER YOU

THAT THE MUGGER
WAS AS GOOD AS IN YOUR GRASP LAST NIGHT,

AND YOU LOST HIM?

NOW, THERE MAY BE
A CLUE IN THIS CAR,

BUT THE DETECTIVES TAKE OVER.
THEY GET THE GLORY,

YOU GET THE STREETS.

YOU WRITING A BOOK?

I'M INTERESTED
IN WHAT'S BEHIND THAT WALL YOU PUT UP.

[woman chattering on radio]

(Romano)
4-ADAM-30, ROGER.

VEHICLE IS REGISTERED
TO DIXSON RENT-A-CAR.

I GOT A HOLD
OF L-90 ON TAC-2,

HE RAN IT DOWN WITH DIXSON.

THE GUY WHO TOOK IT,
NEVER RETURNED IT.

FITS OUR COMPOSITE
LIKE A GLOVE.

NAME AND ADDRESS?

BERT CLARK.

HE SHOWED AN ARIZONA LICENSE
AND A PHOENIX ADDRESS.

THE BIBLES WERE PURCHASED
IN PHOENIX.

(Romano)
YEAH.

WE'LL IMPOUND THE CAR
WITH A HOLD FOR PRINTS,

BUT I DON'T NEED A WARRANT
TO KNOW IT'S FOR REAL.

(Tracy)
HOW CAN YOU BE SURE?

ON THE FLOOR IN THE REAR,

THERE'S A BIBLE.

[sighing]

MAY GOD FORGIVE THEM
THEIR SINS,

THEIR EVIL WAYS.

MAY GOD FORGIVE THEM.

THY WILL BE DONE.

[sniffling]

THERE YOU GO,
OFF. WALKER.

YOU KNOW,
I'VE BEEN THINKIN',

YOU SAW THE SUSPECT
AT THE BUS STOP

THEN HE SPLIT IN A CAB.

MAYBE THAT'S PART
OF HIS M.O.

I WANT TO TALK
TO THE CAB COMPANY,

FIND OUT WHY JACKSON
STRUCK OUT.

RUN THAT PHOENIX
NAME AND ADDRESS THROUGH D.M.V.

EXCUSE ME.

THANK YOU.

YOU KNOW I NEVER DID ASK YOU
WHY YOU WANTED TO BE A COP?

IT'S JUST SOMETHING I DO.
I DON'T TRY AND ANALYZE IT.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD.

HEY, LADY,
I'M A GARBAGE COLLECTOR.

I COLLECT IT
AND I DUMP IT.

I FILE MY REPORT
AND I NEVER LOOK BACK.

I DON'T BELIEVE
A WORD OF THAT,

BECAUSE ROMANO'S
ALREADY TOLD ME HOW MUCH YOU CARE.

AND YOUR RECORD SHOWS IT,
BUT I WON'T PUSH IT.

WHAT'S YOUR NEXT STEP?

THE NEXT STEP, LUNCH.

GOOD IDEA.

I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS
I WANNA ASK YOU ABOUT THE MUGGER'S CASE.

OH, GOOD.

WHERE'RE WE EATING?
ACROSS THE STREET.

GREAT SUSHI JOINT.

OH. OOH, GOOD. SUSHI.

EDDIE, COME ON. LET' S GO.
YEAH.

HOOKER!

HEY, HOOKER!
YOU'RE NOT LEAVING ME HERE?

WHY NOT?
YOU'VE HAD YOUR RIDE, SHOT YOUR TAPE.

IT'S NOT ENOUGH!
I WANT MORE!

TRY THE SQUID.

HOOKER! HOOKER!

OK.

HI.

EXCUSE ME.
I DON'T MEAN TO STARTLE YOU,

BUT MAY I TALK TO YOU
FOR JUST A FEW MINUTES?

WELL, I'M SORRY,
I'M ON MY WAY TO MY DOCTOR.

OH, I'M SORRY,

I DON'T MEAN TO KEEP YOU,
BUT I'M AFRAID YOU'RE GONNA BE A LITTLE LATE.

JUST CALM DOWN
AND DON'T MAKE ANY LOUD NOISES

OR I'LL BE FORCED
TO USE THIS KNIFE.

COME ON,
LET'S GET IN THE CAR. NO!

COME ON.
COME ON, LADY.

[crying]

COME ON, COME ON,
GET IN. GET IN HERE. GET IN.

CLOSE THE DOOR, PLEASE.

DON'T USE IT.

VERY GOOD.
VERY GOOD.

ALL I WANT TO DO
IS TALK TO YOU. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

MY--MY MEDICINE.

OH, MY GOD. DON'T.
I NEED MY PILLS.

[gasping]

YOUR PILLS, OF COURSE.

DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND
THAT THAT'S SATAN WAY?

MY PILLS.

DO YOU SEE THIS BIBLE?

NOW I'M GONNA
REALLY HAVE TO SHOW YOU HOW TO REPENT.

MY PILLS.

THAT'S SATAN'S WAY!

LADY, ARE YOU
LISTENING TO ME?

LADY!

HEY, WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU?

UH, BILLY MARKS?

(Billy)
YEAH?

SGT. HOOKER.
THIS IS OFF. ROMANO.

SO?

YOUR DISPATCHER TELLS US
THAT YOU WERE WORKIN' THE DOWNTOWN AREA

THE NIGHT THAT WOMAN
WAS ASSAULTED.

HEY, MAN, I ALREADY TALKED
TO THE DETECTIVES.

I TOLD THEM I WAS NOWHERE
NEAR THAT SECTION.

YOU HAD A FARE YOU DELIVERED
2 BLOCKS FROM THERE

A HALF HOUR BEFORE THE ATTACK.

YEAH, THEN I RAN OFF
TO THE AIRPORT. CHECK MY LOGBOOK.

OH, I DON'T THINK SO.
BILLY, YOU HAVE A HISTORY OF ON-THE-JOB DRINKING.

AND I THINK
YOU HAD A FEW BELTS,

YOU PULLED OVER NEXT
TO THE CONSTRUCTION SITE

AND GRABBED A FEW Zs.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE TALKIN' ABOUT.

I SAW A CAPITOL CAB

TAKE A SUSPECT
AWAY FROM THAT SITE,

AND I'M LAYING MONEY

THAT YOU WERE THE DRIVER.
I REMEMBER YOU NOW.

8, 9 YEARS AGO,

DEALING PILLS AND COKE
TO KIDS, WASN'T IT?

I DID MY TIME.
I'M CLEAN.

YOU GIVE IT TO ME, BILLY,

AND YOU GIVE IT
TO ME STRAIGHT,

OR I'LL PULL YOUR PACKAGE
AND I'LL ROUST YOU

TILL YOU LOSE
YOUR HACK LICENSE FOR GOOD.

LOOK,

I'M BEHIND IN MY PAYMENTS.

THEY'RE REPOSSESSING MY CAR.
I NEEDED THE BREAD.

10:25.

YOU'RE LOGGED OUT
FOR A TRIP TO THE AIRPORT,

BUT ACTUALLY
YOU'RE HIBERNATING AT THE CONSTRUCTION SITE.

THIS MAN COMES OVER THE FENCE.

HE'S IN THE YELLOW WINDBREAKER

AND YOU TAKE HIM FOR A FARE.

HE GAVE ME $100, UP-FRONT,
TO GET HIM GONE FROM THERE.

AND ANOTHER C-NOTE
TO KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT

AFTER I LET HIM OFF.

THIS DUDE IS MESSIN' UP
A LOT OF WOMEN, FRIEND.

DON'T YOU READ THE PAPERS?

LIKE I SAID,
I NEEDED THE BREAD.

I KNEW I'D GET FIRED
IF I ADMITTED I WAS THERE

AND NOT AT THE AIRPORT.

WHERE'D YOU LET HIM OFF?

A BUS STOP.

CORNER OF 8TH,
AND BROADWAY.

THIS IS WHERE
I FIRST SAW THE SUSPECT.

THE SAME "B" BUS LINE

RUNS RIGHT PAST
THE SHOPPING CENTER

WHERE THAT WOMAN
WAS ATTACKED.

WHAT ARE YOU,
SOME KIND OF EXPERT ON THE "B" BUS?

YEAH. I HAD TO
TAKE IT EVERYDAY

WHEN MY TRANSMISSION
WENT OUT.

YEAH, WELL,
MELVIN WILL TAKE CARE OF THAT.

TOLD HIM WE'D BE BY TOMORROW.

IS HE ALSO
GONNA PAY MY ALIMONY

WHEN I BLOW IT
ON A FOUR ON THE FLOOR?

RELAX. EASY PAYMENT PLAN.

RIGHT.

OUR MAN LIKES THE "B" BUS.

SO LET'S FOLLOW THE ROUTE
AND SEE WHERE IT LEADS.

(Romano)
I WONDER WHAT'S GOING DOWN?

(Hooker)
I DON'T KNOW. LET'S TAKE A LOOK.

WHAT'VE YOU GOT?

IT LOOKS LIKE
ANOTHER BIBLE JOB.

ONLY THIS TIME
IT WENT TOO FAR.

IS SHE DEAD?

THE PILL CONTAINER
ON THE FLOOR IS LABELLED DIGITALIS.

NOW, IT APPEARS
THAT SHE HAD A HEART ATTACK

AND COULDN'T GET
TO THE PILLS.

THEN IT'S MURDER.

WHO SAID BLUESUITS ARE DUMB?

DID YOU GET ANY WORD
FROM PHOENIX ON THOSE BIBLES?

2 DOZEN OF 'EM
WERE SHIPPED LAST JUNE

TO A BERT CLARK

AT A POST OFFICE BOX
IN SKY VISTA.

(Jackson)
WHERE'S YOUR T.V. PAL, HOOKER?

THE ONE WITH THE LEGS
AND THE FAST MOUTH.

YOU GOT SOMETHIN'
AGAINST LEGS?

SHE'S BEEN PUMPING US
FOR DAYS

ABOUT THE MUGGER CASE.

IF SHE GETS A CHANCE,

I THINK SHE'S GONNA DO
A HATCHET JOB

ON WHOEVER'S WITHIN
STRIKING DISTANCE.

LET'S GO.

(Tracy on T.V.)
SO WHILE THE CITY REMAINS TERRORIZED,

WHILE THE LATEST MUGGING
HAS CULMINATED IN DEATH

TO ITS HELPLESS FEMALE VICTIM,

WE STILL HAVE
SOME OLD LINE COPS

WHO WORK
IN AN ANTIQUATED FASHION.

THIS IS SGT. T.J. HOOKER,

THE OFFICER WHO PURSUED
AND LOST THE MUGGER.

YOU MEAN,
HIS PSYCHOLOGICAL MOTIVATION,

HIS SOCIOPATHIC PATTERNS,

HIS MESSED UP CHILDHOOD,

WHETHER OR NOT
HE RESENTED HIS MOTHER?

(Tracy)
THEN YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN THE PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE

THAT WAS DRAWN UP
BY THE DETECTIVES?

HEY, I--I AGREE WITH ANYTHING
THAT'LL HELP STOP WHAT'S GOING ON OUT HERE,

BUT MOST PERPETRATORS
DO WHAT THEY DO BECAUSE THEY HATE,

THEY WANT.

THEY DO THINGS
TO OTHER PEOPLE

BECAUSE IT'S EASIER
TO--TO ROB THEM

THAN IT IS TO WORK.

THAT'S A WONDERFUL
TOUGH LAW AND ORDER SPEECH.

BUT IT'S JUST MORE WORDS.

AND AS YOU
AND YOUR COHORTS

CONTINUE TO FUMBLE
THIS MUGGER CASE,

WE HAVE LEARNED EXCLUSIVELY

THAT FINGERPRINTS LIFTED
FROM ONE OF THE RENTAL CARS

FOUND ABANDONED
IDENTIFY AN ARLAN WILLIAMS

ALIAS BERT CLARK,
OF PHOENIX ARIZONA,

AS A PRIME SUSPECT.

THAT REPORT JUST CAME IN
ON OUR WIRE. HOW DID SHE GET IT SO FAST?

WHY DON'T YOU ASK HOOKER?

(Tracy)
WE'VE ALSO LEARNED THAT WILLIAMS,

FOUND NOT GUILTY
BY REASON OF INSANITY

IN SEVERAL BRUTAL ASSAULTS
ON PHOENIX WOMEN,

HAD BEEN CONFINED
AT PHOENIX MENTAL HOSPITAL

BEFORE BEING RELEASED
IN AN OUTPATIENT TREATMENT PROGRAM.

THAT-THAT'S WRONG!

THEY WERE THE CRAZY ONES!

(Tracy)
AND, NOW, OUR SPECIAL IN STUDIO GUEST,

HERE TO DISCUSS THIS CASE,
DR. WALTER FORBES.

CAN YOU GIVE US
A PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE

FOR THIS BIBLE MUGGER?

WELL, THERE'S
VERY LITTLE INFORMATION AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.

HOWEVER, I CAN MAKE
SOME EDUCATED SPECULATIONS.

HE'S PROBABLY
A VERY INSECURE MAN,

THOUGH SELF-ESTEEMED.

HE TRIES TO COMPENSATE
FOR THIS BY BECOMING CLOSE

TO A STRONG, POWERFUL BEING,
LIKE GOD.

[crying]

(Tracy)
AND THE BIBLE, WHAT ABOUT THAT?

WELL, HE--HE LEAVES THE BIBLE

AS A SYMBOL
OF BOTH HIS, UH, RELIGION

AND HIS, UH,
CHALLENGING REQUEST

FOR THE POLICE TO STOP HIM.

AND SO SGT. HOOKER,

IN SPITE OF YOUR EVALUATION,

WE HAVE A SOCIOPATHIC,
SICK PERSON

WALKING THE STREETS.

THIS IS TRACY HILL,
CHANNEL 6 NEWS.

SHE MADE YOU LOOK LIKE
A GRADE "A" CHUMP, HOOKER.

THAT'S IT. THANK YOU.

HELLO. TRACY HILL.

(Williams)
MISS HILL, IS THIS REALLY YOU?

YES, IT IS. WHO'S THIS?

MISS HILL,
THIS IS ARLAN WILLIAMS.

I'VE BEEN WATCHING YOU
ON THE TELEVISION

AND I THINK
YOU MISUNDERSTAND MY WORK.

I THINK YOU'RE
SUCH A FINE REPORTER

THAT IN ORDER
TO TELL MY STORY PROPERLY

YOU SHOULD REALLY
KNOW THE TRUTH.

I THINK WE SHOULD TALK.

YES. I'M LISTENING. GO AHEAD.

OH, NO, NO, NO, NO.
NOT OVER THE PHONE.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID.

THERE IS A PHONE BOOTH

ON THE CORNER
OF 8TH AND MAPLE.

I HAVE THE NUMBER.

YOU BE THERE IN AN HOUR
AND I'LL CALL YOU.

I'LL BE THERE.

EDDIE?
YEAH.

GOOD, YOU CAN HELP ME.

I WANT YOU TO TELL GUS
TO HOLD OPEN THE LEAD FOR ME ON THE 11:00.

AND THE ART DEPARTMENT,
TELL 'EM TO MAKE BLOWUPS

OF EVERYTHING
WE'VE GOT ON WILLIAMS.

HIS PSYCHIATRIC FILE,
EVERYTHING, THE WORKS.

YOU GOT SOMETHING HOT?
YEAH, SIZZLIN'.

I'LL SEE YA LATER.

YOU HERE TO GIVE ME
A TICKET, HOOKER?

A WARNING.

WELL, I DON'T HAVE TIME
FOR LECTURES.

I'M IN WHAT YOU MIGHT CALL
A HURRY.

YOU'RE ALWAYS IN A HURRY.

OR SO BUSY BEING CLEVER
YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO LISTEN.

[sighing]

FINE. YOU'RE ANGRY
BECAUSE YOU THINK THAT I USED YOU.

AND MAYBE I DID

BECAUSE YOU'VE NEVER
GIVEN ME THE RESPECT

THAT I HAVE EARNED
IN THIS BUSINESS.

THE CALL GIRL RING
IN SOUTH BEACH?

I BROKE THAT STORY

BEFORE ANY POLICEMAN
EVEN ARRESTED A SINGLE SUSPECT.

AND THE D.A. USED MY NOTES
TO HELP PROSECUTE.

DRUG BUSTS,

THE ROGIN MURDER CASE,

I HAVE PAID MY DUES,
MISTER.

SO, YOU STAY OUT OF MY WAY
BEFORE I CALL A COP.

I WAS WRONG TO DUMP YOU
THE WAY I DID,

AND YOU'RE JUST AS WRONG
TO PURSUE WHAT YOU'RE DOING ALONE.

YOU'RE IN OVER YOUR HEAD
THIS TIME, TRACY.

IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION,
ANY LEADS,

TURN THEM OVER
TO JACKSON AND BARNES.

YOU'LL STILL GET YOUR STORY.

THEY'RE WORSE THAN YOU.

YOU GUYS THINK
THAT ANYTHING IN A SKIRT

HAS THE I.Q. OF A TURNIP!

WELL, I HAVE MY ETHICS,

AND I HAVE MY INTEGRITY,
AND I DO MY HOMEWORK, HOOKER.

AND I DON'T INTEND
TO GIVE ANYBODY ELSE THE BEAT.

YOU DO HAVE A WAY
WITH WOMEN.

YEAH, IT'S A TALENT
I WAS BORN WITH.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE

BEFORE WE BECOME
ANOTHER MEDIA EVENT.

WILLIAMS... CLARK

HAD A POST OFFICE BOX
AT SKY VISTA

AT THE END
OF THE "B" BUS RUN.

DETECTIVES HAVE IT
STAKED OUT. SO?

TRY THIS ONE ON FOR SIZE.
YOU KNOW WHAT'S ON THE HILL

OVERLOOKING SKY VISTA?

A CROSS. A LARGE CROSS.

YEAH, I KNOW THE PLACE.
THERE'S AN OLD CONVENT THERE.

I PULLED THE WILLIAMS' PACKAGE
AND IT DIDN'T HIT ME UNTIL NOW,

BUT BEFORE WILLIAMS
WAS COMMITTED,

HE WAS A CARETAKER
IN PHOENIX,

AT A CONVENT.

[gasps]

OH!

MISS HILL?
I'M ARLAN WILLIAMS.

YOU ARE ALONE, AREN'T YOU?

OF COURSE.

UM, OUR DEAL
WAS A PHONE CALL, NOT THIS.

WELL, I THOUGHT
MEETING FACE TO FACE

WOULD BE FAR MORE ENLIGHTENING
FOR BOTH OF US.

WHY DON'T WE GO SOMEPLACE
WHERE WE CAN BE ALONE?

NO. T-THIS IS, UH...

THIS IS ISOLATED ENOUGH.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE INTERESTED
IN WHERE I LIVE?

WHY I HAVE TO DO WHAT I DO?

OH, I AM. YES.
OF COURSE, I AM.

I'M...

MISS HILL,

[gasps]

I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU
ABOUT THIS, DO I?

I DON'T WANT
TO HAVE TO HURT YOU LIKE THE OTHERS.

NOW, WHY DON'T WE
GO ACROSS THE STREET AND GET INTO YOUR CAR

AND GO SOMEPLACE
WHERE WE CAN BE ALONE?

(Hooker)
EXCUSE ME, FATHER. CAN YOU HELP US?

DO YOU RECOGNIZE THIS MAN?

WHY, YES.
THAT'S OUR CARETAKER.

YOU'LL FIND HIS QUARTERS
RIGHT AT THE END OF THE BUILDING

AND UP THE STAIRS.

(Hooker)
THANK YOU, FATHER.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

WILLIAMS! OPEN UP! POLICE!

LOOK AT THIS.

WHAT?

HE KEPT A LOG
OF HIS ATTACKS.

IT'S ALL HERE.
NAMES, DATES. THE WHOLE MESS.

LET'S CALL THE DETECTIVES.
GET THIS PLACE DUSTED.

HOOKER! HELP!

WILLIAMS!

GIVE IT UP!

NO!

(man)
HEY!

WHAT?

GET DOWN AND STAY DOWN.

[engine starting]

ROMANO, WE CAN'T USE IT!

[tires screeching]

[Hooker yelling]

[yells]

[grunting]

[tires screeching]

[glass shattering]

ROMANO.

IT'S ALL RIGHT, LADIES.
IT'S ALL OVER.

YOU CAN GET OUT
OF THE BUS NOW.

OH, THANK YOU,
OFFICER.

(nun)
OH, THANK YOU, OFFICER.

I'M SORRY, I--

YEAH, ETHICS

AND INTEGRITY
ARE LOVELY WORDS,

BUT THEY NEVER WON ANYBODY
AN EMMY, RIGHT?

I WANNA APOLOGIZE
TO YOU, NOW.

AND I'M GOING TO APOLOGIZE
TO YOU TONIGHT ON THE AIR.

OH, I'M AFRAID
I'M GONNA HAVE TO MISS IT.

LIKE I SAID,
I DON'T GET CHANNEL 6.

AH, JUST MISSED.

YOU BUY AGAIN, HOOKER.

[chuckling]

I'M TELLIN' YOU,
NOW IS THE TIME TO TRADE,

BEFORE YOUR CAR
GETS A YEAR OLDER

AND THE NEW MODELS
COME OUT.

YEAH, BUT WHO--WHO
IS THIS GUY?

MELVIN?

OH, HE'S A BUDDY OF MINE.

HE'LL GIVE YOU
A SQUARE DEAL--

NO, NO.
I MEAN, WHO IS HE? WHAT'S HE DO?

WHAT'S HIS BACKGROUND?

HOOKER, YOU DON'T
TRUST ANYBODY.

YOU'RE JUST GONNA
BUY A CAR FROM THE GUY, NOT MARRY HIM!

I GOT MORE MILES
OUT OF MY CAR THAN I DID MY MARRIAGE.

I LIKE TO APPROACH THINGS
FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE.

I'M GONNA TELL HIM
WE'RE COMIN' OVER. WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE?

(Tracy)
IS THIS STOOL TAKEN?

IT'S A FREE COUNTRY.

YOU REALLY KNOW HOW TO MAKE
A GIRL FEEL AT HOME, HOOKER.

WHITE WINE?

OR ARE YOU
STILL LIVING DANGEROUSLY?

SINCE I HAVE
NOTHING MORE TO PROVE, WHITE WINE WOULD BE NICE.

JERRY, WHITE WINE
FOR THE LADY.

YOU KNOW, I WAS
A PSYCHOLOGY MAJOR

BEFORE I WENT
INTO JOURNALISM.

YOU WOULD'VE MADE
AN INTERESTING CLASS PROJECT.

YEAH?

WHY'D YOU CALL ME?

WELL, ROMANO
HEARD YOUR NEWSCAST

AND HE SAID YOU DID
WHAT YOU SAID YOU WERE GONNA DO.

AND YOU RESPECT THAT,
SO NOW WE CAN BE BUDDIES?

OH, NOW--NOW,
I WOULDN'T QUITE GO THAT FAR.

I JUST THOUGHT SOMEBODY
OUGHT TO STRAIGHTEN OUT YOUR PERCEPTIONS OF COPS.

AND YOU'RE THE MAN
TO DO THAT, OBVIOUSLY.

[scoffs]

JUST DON'T COME ON
WITH EVERY STORY

LIKE WE'RE TRYING
TO STEAL OUR PENSIONS.

YOU'LL MAKE
A LOT MORE FRIENDS.

WHO DOES
THE, UH, SPORTS ON YOUR NEWSCAST?

CHUCK MURRAY.

OH, YEAH!

A GOOD GUY.
HE USED TO DO PLAY BY PLAY.

YEAH.

MAYBE I'LL GET
MY ANTENNA FIXED.

[laughing]

TRACY! NICE TO SEE YOU.

HI.

IT'S ALL SET.

WHAT'S ALL SET?

I GOT HOOKER
LINED UP WITH A DUDE

WHO'S GONNA GIVE HIM
THE DEAL OF A LIFETIME ON A NEW PORCHE.

A PORCHE?
MMM-HMM.

WELL, MAYBE
YOU SHOULD WAIT.

YOU MIGHT GET A BETTER DEAL
THROUGH THE STATE.

YEAH?

YEAH, WE JUST DID
SOME STORY ON A GUY

WHO'S SELLING STOLEN PORCHES
OFF A LOT ON MAIN.

A REAL SLEAZY CHARACTER.

WHAT'S HIS NAME?

UH, DELVIN,
KELVIN, UH--

(both)
MELVIN?
