All language subtitles for T.J Hooker - Season 1 - 4 - Hookers war

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT POISON
IS DOIN' TO YOUR SYSTEM?

IT'S GONNA KILL YOU.

ROMANO, GRANDPA HOOKER
DOWNED A GALLON OF COFFEE A DAY

AND MADE IT TO 94.

WELL, TRY THIS.
ALL I'M ASKIN' IS TRY IT.

IT'S DELICIOUS.

JUST A LITTLE RAW EGGS,
ROMANIAN YOGURT,

CRUSHED PAPAYA, LECITHIN
AND MANGO JUICE.

SECRET OF MY SUCCESS.
AND MY VIRILITY.

ROMANO, WHEN GRANDPA
DID GO, AT 94,

12 WOMEN WEPT AT HIS GRAVE.
NOT INCLUDING GRANDMA.

[woman talking on radio]

WILL YOU LOOK WHAT'S COMING
DOWN THE BOULEVARD?

CAN YOU PICTURE
THE INSIDE?

FUR ON THE WALLS,
SATIN SETTEE, QUAD SOUNDS,

[tires screeching]

[horn honking]
THOSE LITTLE LA--

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

FLAT THROUGH THE LIGHT.

STILL A GOOD 7 MINUTES LEFT
ON THIS BREAK. IT AIN'T FAIR.

WHERE IS IT WRITTEN
THAT LIFE IS FAIR?

PUT DOWN YOUR VIRILITY JUICE.
LET'S DO OUR CIVIC DUTY.

AND, ROMANO,
GO EASY AROUND THE TURNS.

I DON'T WANNA SPILL ONE DROP
OF THIS NICE, SWEET, DELICIOUS COFFEE.

[siren wailing]

HERE, I'LL GET IT.
NO, LET ME HAVE 'EM.

I WANNA SEE THE INSIDE
OF THIS LOVE MACHINE.

(Hooker)
ALL RIGHT, BUT BE CAREFUL.

[tires screeching]

[tires screeching]

LET'S GET THEM TURKEYS.

[siren wailing]

[tires screeching]

[tires screeching]

[gun firing]

THIS IS 4-ADAM-30.
OFFICER NEEDS HELP.

WE ARE IN PURSUIT,
NORTHBOUND, SYCAMORE,

FROM 3RD STREET,
FOLLOWING AN ORANGE VAN.

WE ARE UNDER FIRE.

[brakes screeching]

THAT COULD HAVE
RUINED MY WHOLE DAY.

[sighing]
WE LOST 'EM.

MAYBE THE BACKUP UNITS
CAN RUN 'EM DOWN.

DRIVER'S GONNA
NEED AN AMBULANCE.

HOOKER! TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.

THERE'S ENOUGH FIREPOWER
TO START A WAR.

(Hooker)
IF THIS STUFF HITS THE STREET,

THERE'LL BE A BODY COUNT
THAT WON'T STOP.

(Pete)
HEY, GUYS.

PETE BENEDICT.
OH, YEAH.

ROBBERY-HOMICIDE
DIVISION.

WHO WERE THE OFFICERS
ON THIS?

OFF. ROMANO AND SGT. HOOKER,
LIEUTENANT.

HOOKER?
THAT'S RIGHT.

THOMAS J. HOOKER?

YOU BET.
HE'S RIGHT OVER THERE, SIR.

(Hooker)
HERE. LOOK AT THAT.

[Hooker muttering]

HEY, HOT SHOT.

YEAH, YOU HOOKER.
YOU, PLUG-UGLY...

I'M SON OF A GUN.
PETE BENEDICT.

[laughing]

THE ORIGINAL DIRTY HARRY.

I HEARD THAT THEY GOT YOU BACK
IN THE CAVALRY.

YOU NEVER WERE SHORT
ON THE GUTS.

NO, IT'S MY BRAIN POWER
I'M WORRIED ABOUT.

THIS IS MY PARTNER,
VINCE ROMANO. LT. PETE BENEDICT.

LIEUTENANT.

ROMANO.

PETE AND I NOTCHED 5 YEARS
TOGETHER IN THE 13TH.

YOUR PARTNER HERE
WAS THE BEST DETECTIVE I EVER WORKED WITH.

YOU ON THIS ONE, PETE?

SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT.
ILLEGAL IRONS.

THE COMPUTER READOUT SAYS

THAT THE STREET TRADE
HAS GONE SKY-HIGH.

NO STREET COP NEEDS A COMPUTER
TO TELL HIM THAT.

EVEN 10 YEAR OLDS
ARE PACKING PIECES.

WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU GUYS
HAVE REALLY STUMBLED

ONTO A MAJOR
WHOLESALE DELIVERY.

ENOUGH MERCHANDISE
TO ARM EVERY PUNK

IN ALL 12 PRECINCTS
THIS SIDE A TOWN.

(Pete)
UH, HOLD IT, UH...

YOU SEEN THIS GUY BEFORE?

(Hooker)
I DON' T THINK SO.

IT'S NOT A FACE
YOU'D FORGET EASY.

GET A LOAD
OF THOSE TATTOOS.

THE GUY'S A WALKING GALLERY.

YOU RECOGNIZE THE TATTOO?

I'VE SEEN IT SOMEWHERE,

BUT I DON'T REMEMBER WHERE.

STUPIDEST THING I EVER HEARD.

RUNNIN' A RED LIGHT.

THE STREETS WERE EMPTY!

AH, THOSE GUNS
SHOULD'VE BEEN DROVE

LIKE THEY WAS
A BUSLOAD OF KIDDIES

ON THEIR WAY
TO SUNDAY SCHOOL.

THAT HARDWARE
WAS WORTH $200,000 ON THE STREET, MAN,

AND YOU ALL
AIN'T WORTH TIDDLY SPIT!

I GOT CUSTOMERS WAITIN'
ALL OVER TOWN.

THE MAN
IS GOING TO BE BOILING MAD.

THE PRICE...

[whispering]
THE PRICE IS GONNA DOUBLE.

(all)
1, 2,

3, 4.

1, 2, 3, 4.

1, 2, 3, 4.

IF YOU DON'T MIND MY ASKING
A SECRET, LIEUTENANT,

I'D GIVE A WEEK'S PAYCHECK
TO BE ABLE TO HOLD A TAN LIKE YOU GOT.

THIS IS REAL.
THIS IS THE GENUINE ARTICLE.

YOU'VE BEEN FISHIN'
WITHOUT ME, PETE?

YOU BETTER BELIEVE.
I BEEN PAYIN' ON THIS CONDO DOWN IN BAJA.

I GOT A YEAR TO GO
BEFORE I RETIRE,

SO I GO DOWN THERE
EVERY WEEKEND.

GEE, IT SOUNDS GREAT.

WHY DON'T YOU FIND
SOME TIME OFF,

GIVE ME A CALL,
WE'LL GO DOWN TOGETHER.

YOU GOT A CUSTOMER.

[phone ringing]

[Romano whistles]

SOME COLLECTION.

YEAH, SOME OF THESE
WERE SMUGGLED INTERSTATE,

ILLEGALLY IMPORTED,

TRADED FOR DRUGS.

MOST OF THESE WERE JUST
STOLEN FROM CITIZENS

OR FROM SPORTING GOOD STORES,
PAWNSHOPS.

WHY GO TO ALL THE TROUBLE?

JUST ABOUT ANYBODY CAN WALK
INTO A STORE

AND LEGALLY BUY THEMSELVES
A FIREARM.

WELL, FIRST OF ALL,
YOU HAVE TO BE 18.

THEN, IF THE STORE OWNER'S
DOING HIS JOB PROPERLY,

YOU HAVE TO WAIT
WHILE YOU'RE CHECKED OUT.

AT LEAST IN THIS STATE.

FEDERAL LAW SAYS
YOU CANNOT OWN A GUN LEGALLY,

IF YOU HAVE A RECORD,
OR YOU'RE A CONVICTED FELON,

OR YOU'RE CURRENTLY
UNDER INVESTIGATION.

AND THAT LEAVES A LOT OF KOOKS
ITCHING TO GET THEIR HANDS

ON WEAPONS
THEY HAVE NO LEGAL RIGHT TO POSSESS.

ANY SERIAL NUMBERS, YET?

NO, SIR. THEY'RE ALL THE SAME.
NUMBERS ARE FILED OFF.

WIPES OUT ITS HISTORY,
MAKES IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TRACE.

BUT CAN'T YOU
BRING THE NUMBERS BACK WITH ACID ETCHING?

DEPENDS HOW MUCH METAL
WAS TAKEN OFF.

AND WHERE DO YOU THINK
I'M GONNA GET THE BUDGET FROM,

OR THE MANPOWER
TO EVEN TRY ACID ETCHING FOR THIS ARSENAL?

EXCUSE ME, KID,

I WANNA TALK TO YOUR PARTNER
FOR A MINUTE, ALONE.

[phone ringing]

HOOKER,

IF YOU GET ANY KIND
OF LIGHT BULB

AS TO WHERE
THIS ARSENAL CAME FROM

OR WHERE IT WAS GOING
THAT WOULD HELP.

YOU SEE, THIS IS MY LAST GIG
ON THE DEPARTMENT.

IT'S MY SWAN SONG.
I'D LIKE TO DO IT RIGHT.

YOU GOT IT.

I WISH I COULD REMEMBER
WHERE I SAW THAT TATTOO BEFORE.

LET'S PUT THAT
IN THE COMPUTER, SEE WHAT IT SPITS OUT.

(Victoria)
I'M FREE AND CLEAR ALL DAY SATURDAY,

AND ALL NIGHT.
WHAT ABOUT YOU, ROMANO?

SATURDAY?

DEPEND ON IT.

EXCUSE ME.

UH, DOES DUTY CALL, SARGE?

IT DOES, OFF. ROMANO.
IT TRULY DOES.

♪[whistling]

ROMANO?
HMM.

I'M A BIT CONFUSED.
I WAS UNDER THE DISTINCT IMPRESSION

THAT YOU AND THAT, UH,
THAT LITTLE BRUNETTE

WHO WORKS THE NIGHT SHIFT
FOR, UH, CAPT. SHERIDAN...

LISA.
LISA.

I THOUGHT YOU AND SHE
WERE HOT AND HEAVY.

HMM. LISA'S FANTASTIC.
I LOVE HER.

SHE'S HOT, PEPPERY,
TEMPESTUOUS.

BUT, VICKI'S WONDERFUL.
I LOVE HER, TOO.

SHE'S SWEET,
COOL, SOOTHING.

YOU KNOW, IF I HAD TO PICK,
I'D BE BROKENHEARTED.

FORTUNATELY, THINGS BEING
THE WAY THEY ARE...

WHICH WAY ARE THINGS?

VICKI WORKS DAYS,
LISA, THE GRAVEYARD SHIFT.

THE BEST
OF ALL POSSIBLE WORLDS.

AND I'M NEVER LONELY.

FROM THE VANTAGE POINT
OF MY ADVANCING YEARS,

LET ME GIVE YOU A TIP.

A MAN COULD BUY HIMSELF
A PACK OF TROUBLE

TRAVELING THE ROAD
YOU'RE ON.

HEY,
NO WAY. NOT ME.

I'M CONCENTRATING HARD,
JUST ON THESE TWO.

YOU KNOW,

BEFORE I GOT
INTO THE NEW TRAINING PROGRAM,

AND GOT CONFINED
TO THE ACADEMY BARRACKS,

I USED TO KEEP A HALF A DOZEN
GOIN' AT A TIME.

YEAH.

NOW THAT WAS TROUBLE.

(woman on radio)
ALL UNITS IN THE VICINITY AND 4-ADAM-30,

A 211 IN PROGRESS
AT 5TH AND PINE.

4-ADAM-30 HANDLE, CODE 3.

4-ADAM-30, ROGER.

[siren wailing]

[tires screeching]

[woman sobbing]

I CAN'T STOP SHAKIN'.

I--I GAVE HIM THE MONEY.

IT WAS ONLY A FEW DOLLARS.

HE HAD A GUN.
I WAS SO SCARED.

WHICH DIRECTION DID HE GO?

HE RAN EAST
ON MISSION STREET.

(Hooker)
WHAT'D HE LOOK LIKE?

SHORT, BLACK,
WEARIN' A BROWN JACKET.

OH, ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

[tires screeching]

[engine revving]

(Romano)
HOLD IT. BACK UP.

BROWN JACKET.
FITS THE DESCRIPTION.

(Hooker)
GO AFTER HIM. I'LL CUT HIM OFF.

[tires screeching]

[siren wailing]

[gun clicks]

HOLD IT, ROMANO!

[boy sniffling]

IF THIS FELLA WANTED
TO KILL ME,

HE'D HAVE PULLED
THE TRIGGER ALREADY.

IS THAT RIGHT, SON?

YOU'RE NOT
IN REAL TROUBLE YET.

NOT IF YOU DROP THE GUN.

TRY SHOOTING IT OUT,
AND YOU'LL BE DEAD.

AND BEING DEAD
IS AS MUCH TROUBLE AS THERE IS.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

IT'S OK.

A MAN CAN CRY IF HE WANTS TO.

I USED TO SEE THAT IN THE WAR,
EVERYDAY.

JUST PUT THE GUN DOWN, SON.

JUST OPEN YOUR HAND,

AND LET IT DROP.

LET IT DROP.

[gun clinking]

[boy crying]

HOOKER, I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU.
THIS GUN HAD A FULL LOAD.

ANOTHER ONE.
NUMBERS FILED AWAY.

I DON'T WANT THIS KID.

I WANT THE LOW-LIFE
WHO PUT THE PIECE IN HIS HANDS.

WHERE'D YOU GET THE WEAPON,
SON?

STREET.

FROM WHO?
A DUDE.

WHAT DUDE?

WHAT WAS HIS NAME?

DON'T KNOW ANY NAME.

THIS GUY COMES
AROUND THE BLOCK,

ASKIN' ME
IF I WANNA BUY A PIECE.

WOULD YOU KNOW HIM
IF YOU SAW HIM AGAIN?

IF YOU SAW A PICTURE OF HIM?

DON'T KNOW. MAYBE.

LET'S TAKE A RIDE DOWNTOWN.

[phone ringing]

BENEDICT.

(Hooker)
PETE. HOOKER.

THERE'S A YOUNG KID
IN THE HOLDING CELL YOU WANNA TALK TO.

THE STORY'S ON MY REPORT,

AND ANOTHER PIECE
WITH A FILED NUMBER.

GOOD.
I'LL BE RIGHT OVER THERE.

ANYTHING ON THE DRIVER
OF THE VAN?

[sighing]
OH, NOBODY'S GONNA HEAR ANYTHING FROM HIM.

HE DIED IN THE CRASH
OF INTERNAL INJURIES.

GREAT.

WELL, YOU KNOW, HOOKER, UM,

NOBODY SAID
THIS WAS GONNA BE EASY.

NO I.D. ON HIM?

WE'RE RUNNING HIS PRINTS,
BUT NOTHING SO FAR.

WHAT ABOUT THE TATTOO?

NOTHING IN THE COMPUTER.

BUT, UH, IF YOU COME UP
WITH SOMETHING,

LET ME KNOW.

RIGHT.

HEY, HOW'S THE FOOD
OVER THERE?

I COULD EAT A BEAR
FOR LUNCH.

(Hooker)
LUNCH CAN WAIT, ROMANO.

YOU SEE THAT LITTLE GUY
OVER THERE, WITH THE HORSE-BLANKET JACKET?

HOW CAN I MISS HIM?
THAT'S SOME OUTFIT.

HIS NAME IS BANTY,
AN INDUSTRIOUS SOUL.

WRITES NUMBERS
FOR THE SPORTING-MINDED OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

[brakes screeching]

BANTY. HOLD IT!

[Banty sighing]

THIS AIN'T RIGHT, HOOKER.

YOU KNOW, SQUAD CAR COPS, UH,
DON'T ROUST UP GUYS LIKE ME.

YOU KNOW,
IT WAS A DIFFERENT STORY

WHEN YOU WERE A GOLD BADGE.

WHAT HAVE WE GOT HERE?
A SNITCH WHO'S A SOCIAL SNOB?

I AIN'T A SNITCH.

WELL, EXCUSE ME.

CHECK HIS POCKETS,
OFF. ROMANO.

I MEAN, SURE, YEAH,

I, UH, I DID YOU A FAVOR
A COUPLE A TIMES.

BUT THAT DON'T MAKE ME
NO SNITCH.

[sighing]

WHAT WE GOT HERE
IS LOTS OF CASH,

AND LOTS A SLIPS OF PAPER
WITH NUMBERS ON 'EM.

HEY, HEY, HEY,
COME ON, PLEASE.

THAT'S ILLEGAL SEARCH
AND SEIZURE.

YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT,
AND I TELL YOU WHAT.

I'LL LET BYGONES BE BYGONES,

WE'LL TEAR UP
THOSE SLIPS OF PAPER

AND SAVE US ALL A TRIP
DOWN TO THE STATION. NOW, I WANT A FAVOR.

WHAT KIND OF A FAVOR?

I WANT YOU TO BUY ME A GUN.

WHAT? YOU'RE A COP.

YOU CAN GET A HOLD
OF ANY KIND OF IRON YOU WANT.

I WANT A STREET PIECE.

ONE THAT HAS NO HISTORY,
CAN'T BE TRACED.

THIS IS
HOOKER YOU-CAN'T-GET-NEAR.

HOOKER THE UN-CORRUPTIBLE.

HOOKER THE BLUE KNIGHT.
YOU GOT A SCAM GOIN' DOWN OR WHAT?

HERE'S $50.

BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND
AND BOOK YOU FOR PRACTICE,

I WANT YOU
TO BUY ME A GUN, OK?

SO LONG, GEORGE.

(Lisa)
OFF. ROMANO?

CAN I SEE YOU A MINUTE?

WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I'M HELPING LISA
REDECORATE HER APARTMENT.

I THOUGHT THE HAND
ON THE HIP WAS MACHO.

FUNNY GUY.

IT MUST BE CONVENIENT
HAVING YOUR OWN DECORATOR ON THE PREMISES.

NOW, I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT ROMANO,

BUT, UH, I REALLY THINK
THAT THESE ARE, UH,

[phone ringing]
UNUSUAL.

THINK SO?

RIGHT.
EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY.

I'LL HAVE
TO THINK IT OVER, LISA,

AND GIVE YOU
AN ANSWER LATER.

WELL, UH,
HOW ABOUT SATURDAY?

WE CAN SEE HOW THEY LOOK
ON THE SPOT.

SATURDAY? I CAN'T WAIT.

SATURDAY IT IS.

SUNDAY.

THIS SUNDAY W-WOULD BE BETTER,
IF YOU DON'T MIND.

YOU GOT IT.
SEE YOU LATER.

BYE, SERGEANT.

BYE, LISA.

BYE.
BYE.

IF THAT'S THE DARK LADY
OF THE NIGHT SHIFT,

YOU DO INDEED
HAVE YOUR HANDS FULL.

YEAH. SHE IS FINE,
ISN'T SHE?

WHATEVER IT IS I GOT,
IF WE COULD BOTTLE IT,

WE'D MAKE A FORTUNE.

WHAT YOU GOT, JUNIOR,

IS A WHOLE MESS
OF TROUBLE COMIN' UP.

I'M LOOKIN' FOR PETE BENEDICT.
HIS OFFICE SAID HE WAS HERE.

OH, HELLO, HOOKER.

YEAH, HE TOOK
SOME SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIALS UP TO THE LAB.

HE SHOULD BE
ON HIS WAY BACK DOWN BY NOW.

OK.

STANDING ROOM ONLY
IN THE WEAPONS ROOM.

HOW MANY WEAPONS A YEAR
CHECK THROUGH HERE?

THIS YEAR
WE'RE PUSHING 10,000.

[sighs]
A GROWTH INDUSTRY.

ANYTHING THAT COMES ALONG
WITH A BUST OR IS CONFISCATED,

OR ISN'T BEING HELD
FOR EVIDENCE, WE STACK BACK THERE.

WHEN IT GETS TOO CROWDED,
WE SHIP 'EM OUT TO A FOUNDRY

THAT MELTS 'EM DOWN
FOR SCRAP.

(Pete)
HEY, HOOKER.

SLUMMIN'?

NOT TODAY.

DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING
FROM YOU ON THE WEAPONS HAUL,

SO I THOUGHT I'D STOP BY
AND SEE WHAT'S SHAKIN'.

YOU DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING
BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHIN' TO TELL.

I PICKED OUT 3 DOZEN
OF THESE AT RANDOM,

TRIED ACID ETCHING,
AND CAME UP WITH ZERO.

HMM.

NUMBERS ARE GROUND DOWN
TOO GOOD.

WHAT ABOUT THE KID WE BUSTED?

WE SHOWED HIM PICTURES,
DROVE HIM AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD,

CAME UP WITH ZILCH.

YEAH, MAYBE HE'S LYING.
MAYBE HE'S AFRAID OF THE SNITCH JACKET.

MAYBE, MAYBE NOT.

FINALLY TOOK HIM
TO JUVENILE.

WHAT'S WITH YOU, HOOKER?
YOU MISS DETECTIVE WORK?

YOU FORGET THE DIRT,
THE DRUDGERY, THE BOREDOM?

MAYBE I JUST DON'T LIKE TO SEE
INNOCENT PEOPLE BLOWN AWAY

BECAUSE ANY PUNK
WITH AN ITCH CAN BUY

AN UNDER-THE-TABLE PIECE
ANYTIME HE WANTS.

I HEAR YOU.

BUT YOU JUST BRING IN
WHATEVER YOU GOT,

LIKE YOU DID WITH THE KID,
AND I'LL FOLLOW THROUGH.

JUST LIKE WHEN
WE WERE PARTNERS, HUH?

I GOT SOMETHING GOING.

OH, YEAH. I'M LISTENING.

NO, NO. WHEN I'M READY,

I'LL LET YOU KNOW
WHAT I HAUL IN.

NO PROBLEM.

JUST PROMISE YOU WON'T
LEAVE ME OUT ON ANY FUN.

[people chattering]

(Hooker)
THE DELIVERY'S LATE.

BANTY'S LOOKING NERVOUS.

HIM AND ME, BOTH.

NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.

HERE COMES
A SWEET LOOKING GUY.

[engine starting]

LET'S GET HIM.

[siren wailing]

[siren stops]

[man groaning]

[both grunting]

[groans]

(Hooker)
MY, MY, MY.

A VERITABLE
PICTURE GALLERY

OF THE FINE ART OF TATTOO.

REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE,
ISN'T IT?

REMARKABLE.

(Hooker)
A MATCH UP.

THE TATTOO OF THE SUSPECT,

THE TATTOO OF THE VAN DRIVER.
EXACTLY.

WHAT IS IT,
SOME KIND OF DEVIL?

NOPE. I HAVEN'T SEEN
ONE OF THESE IN YEARS,

THAT'S WHY I COULDN'T
REMEMBER IT RIGHT AWAY.

IT'S A MYTHOLOGICAL FIGURE.

IT'S THE SYMBOL
OF THE DEMONS.

THE WHO?

A BIG, BAD MOTORCYCLE CLUB.

BROKE UP YEARS AGO.

MUST HAVE BEEN
BEFORE MY TIME, HOOKER.

THANKS, KID. I NEEDED THAT.

[laughing]

THESE DEMONS,
THERE STILL A FEW AROUND?

WELL, THERE'S AN EX-DEMON.
LIVES NEAR ME.

CORNER OF ELDRIDGE AND 11TH.
RUNS A MR. FIXIT SHOP.

YOU COULD SAY
HE'S BEEN DOMESTICATED.

WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?
LET'S GO.

LOOK, I AIN'T HUNG OUT
WITH ANYONE FROM THE DEMONS FOR YEARS.

I'M ON THE STRAIGHT
AND NARROW NOW EVER SINCE I GOT MARRIED.

YOU GUYS GOTTA PARK YOUR CAR
RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE?

YOU WORRIED
ABOUT YOUR CIVIC IMAGE?

HEY, I'M IN BUSINESS HERE
AND--

(Mrs. Mauler)
MAULER! WHAT'S GOIN' ON OUT THERE?

WHAT'D YOU DO
TO BRING THE COPS AROUND?

TOO LATE. SEE WHAT YOU DID!

UH, IT'S ALL RIGHT,
HONEYBUNCH.

YOU'VE BEEN
DOIN' ANYTHING, I'M GONNA KILL YOU!

IS THAT ALL
YOU CAN TELL US, MAULER?

THEY'RE RUNNING A, UH,
CUSTOMIZING SHOP

CALLED, UH, I. T. AND M.,
SOMEPLACE DOWNTOWN.

THEY CHOP HOGS,
MAKE OVER VANS AND PICKUPS,

STUFF LIKE THAT.

[whispering]
NOW WILL YOU GUYS GET OUTTA HERE?

YOU FUZZ
LEAVE HIM ALONE.

WHATEVER HE'S DONE,
I'LL STRAIGHTEN HIM OUT.

UH, THANKS, MA'AM.

WE WERE JUST
ASKING DIRECTIONS.

[radio static]

(woman)
4-ADAM-30. 4-ADAM-30.

POSSIBLE 187
AT SOUTH PINE AND RIVERFRONT.

4-ADAM-30, CODE 3.

4-ADAM-30, ROGER.

[tires screeching]

[siren wailing]

I THINK I KNOW
THAT JACKET.

IT'S NOT LIKELY
THERE'D BE 2 OF THEM AROUND.

(Romano)
POOR BANTY.

THE GUY WAS JUST TRYIN'
TO HELP US.

HE WASN'T MUCH OF A CITIZEN,
BUT HE WAS AN ALL RIGHT LITTLE GUY.

DEAD BECAUSE HE KEPT
HIS BARGAIN WITH ME.

THEY USED BANTY
TO SEND US A MESSAGE.

THEY'RE DECLARING WAR.

WELL, IF IT'S WAR THEY WANT,

IT'S WAR THEY'RE GONNA GET.

(Mountain)
COME ON IN, BOYS.

HOT OUT THERE.

CAN WE GET YOU ALL
A BREW FROM THE COOLER?

UH, NO THANKS.

WE'RE ON DUTY.
MAYBE, UH,

MAYBE ANOTHER TIME.

(Mountain)
OH, NOTHINGS TOO GOOD FOR THE BOYS IN BLUE.

WHAT CAN WE DO FOR YOU?

WE'RE TRYIN' TO TRACE
A STOLEN VAN.

CARRYING AN ILLEGAL GUN LOAD
THAT CRASHED THE OTHER DAY.

I SUPPOSE YOU HEARD
ABOUT THAT?

OH, ONLY WHAT I READ
IN THE PAPER.

NOW, YOU BOYS WERE MEMBERS
OF THE FEARED, MIGHTY DEMONS.

PERHAPS YOU CAN HELP ME
UNDERSTAND WHY 2 EX-DEMONS

WERE INVOLVED THIS PAST WEEK
IN ILLEGAL WEAPON CAPERS?

IT'S ALWAYS SOMEBODY
THAT'S OUT AFTER THAT BIG UNLAWFUL BUCK.

NOW, WE AIN'T SEEN
THEM DUDES IN YEARS,

AND WE DON'T KNOW NOTHIN'
ABOUT NO ILLEGAL GUNS

OR ILLEGAL ANYTHING ELSE,

BECAUSE YOU SEE,
WE'RE LEGIT.

[laughing]

BUSINESSMEN.
THAT'S RIGHT.

(Mountain)
LEGAL.

SO, YOU ARE.

LOOK AT THEIR EQUIPMENT,
OFF. ROMANO.

(Romano)
PUNCHES, DRILL PRESSES, EXTRUDERS, GRINDERS.

JUST ABOUT EVERY
METAL WORKING MACHINE AVAILABLE.

HEY, YOU DON'T MIND

IF WE LOOK AROUND,
DO YOU, MOUNTAIN?

OH, NO, NO.

SEEIN' AS HOW
YOU'VE GOT A WARRANT.

YOU DO GOT A WARRANT?

IT'S OK BY ME,
IF YOU WANT TO PLAY IT BY THE BOOK.

I'M PLACING YOU ALL
UNDER ARREST

FOR VIOLATION
OF THE STATE VEHICLE CODE,

10750 AND 10751.

SAY WHAT?

ALTERING, DEFACING,
OR REPLACING A VEHICLE I.D. NUMBER.

BUYING, SELLING
OR POSSESSING A VEHICLE

WITH THE I.D.'S REMOVED
OR DEFACED.

EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED
TO THIS VEHICLE HERE.

FOR SOME REASON,
ANYBODY ALTERING A STOLEN VEHICLE,

FIRST THING THEY DO
IS REMOVE THE I.D. NUMBER.

THEY COME IN HERE THAT WAY.

ADD SUSPICION OF RECEIVING
STOLEN PROPERTY

TO THE CHARGES,
OFF. ROMANO.

HEY, MAN, THIS WHOLE THING
IS A BUNCH OF BULLWASH.

ATTEMPTING TO
PROVOKE AN OFFICER WITH ABUSIVE LANGUAGE.

IF YOU WASN'T
WEARING THAT BADGE,

I'D KICK YOUR TEETH IN.

ADD 415 TO THE LIST,
OFF. ROMANO.

CHALLENGING
A UNIFORMED OFFICER TO A FIGHT.

[laughing]

I THINK I'M JUST GONNA HAVE
TO EARN THAT ONE.

[groans]

HOLD IT.

[Mountain groaning]

THANK YOU, OFF. ROMANO.

ADD ASSAULT, BATTERY,

AND RESISTING ARREST
TO THE CHARGES.

THEN SEND FOR A WAGON.

WHEREAS WE BECAME
SUSPICIOUS,

AND REQUESTED
TO SEARCH THE PREMISES.

WHEREAS...

OH, ROMANO.

SGT. HOOKER, THERE'S A MESSAGE
FROM LT. BENEDICT.

HE SAID HE'S ON HIS WAY OVER
AND HE WANTS YOU TO WAIT FOR HIM.

HE SAYS IT'S IMPORTANT.

HI, VINCE.

SURPRISE. THEY, UH,
TRANSFERRED ME TO DAY SHIFT.

ISN'T THAT TERRIFIC?

OH, YEAH, UH,
THAT'S WONDERFUL, LISA.

[sighing]
NOW WE WON'T HAVE TO MEET AT SUCH WEIRD HOURS.

SEE YOU LATER, SWEETIE.

YEAH. LATER.

HI, LISA.

WELCOME TO REAL LIFE.
THE SUNSHINE SHIFT.

(Lisa)
THANK YOU.

UH, Y-YOU TWO
KNOW EACH OTHER?

(Victoria)
OH, SURE. WE'RE OLD FRIENDS.

SAME CLASS
AT THE ACADEMY.

AND WE'VE BEEN DYING
TO GET TOGETHER

BUT COULDN'T BECAUSE OF BEING
ON DIFFERENT SCHEDULES.

WELL, NOW WE'LL HAVE
THE CHANCE.

OH, GREAT.

(Romano)
I MEAN, UH, GREAT.

REALLY, UH,

GREAT.

IN FACT WE'RE OFF TO LUNCH
TO CELEBRATE LISA'S TRANSFER

AND, UH, CATCH UP
ON GIRL TALK.

BYE, SERGEANT.

(Lisa)
'BYE, VINCE.

BYE, UH, H-HAVE A NICE

LUNCH.

ROMANO.

ROMANO, JUSTICE IN ACTION.

HOW'D THE LAWYER AND BONDSMAN
GET HERE SO FAST?

WE JUST BOOKED THEM.

I WAS HOPING WE'D HAVE
A COUPLE OF HOURS BEFORE THEY MADE BAIL.

FOR WHAT?

I WANTED TO GET A WARRANT
AND A WRIT OF SEIZURE

FOR THE DEMONS'
SHOP EQUIPMENT.

THE LAB CAN COMPARE
THE GRINDING WHEELS

WITH THE WORK DONE
ON THE GUN HAUL FOR STARTERS.

SGT. HOOKER.

MY CLIENTS HAVE DETAILED
YOUR OUTRAGEOUS HARASSMENT.

YOU'RE TREADING
ON CIVIL RIGHTS,

TO SAY NOTHING
OF DUE PROCESS OF LAW.

COUNSELOR.

ALL YOUR WEASELING
AND TWISTING OF THE LAW

CAN'T HIDE THE FACT
THAT YOUR "INNOCENT" CLIENTS

ARE GUILTY OF BUYING, SELLING
AND TRANSPORTING ILLEGAL GUNS.

GUNS THAT ARE BLOWING THE HELL
OUT OF CITIZENS' RIGHTS,

AND THE CITIZENS THEMSELVES.

AND I'M GONNA
GET YOUR CLIENTS, COUNSELOR.

NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES.

(Sheridan)
UH, HOOKER.

NICE OF YOU, UH,
TO DROP BY AND SEE US.

UH, STEP INSIDE, ROMANO.

YOU MIGHT LEARN SOMETHING.

I WANT TO APOLOGIZE
FOR WHAT I'M GOING TO SAY.

IN FACT, I DON'T EVEN KNOW
HOW TO START.

JUST SPIT IT OUT, PETE.

HOOKER, WE HAD A DEAL.

YOU WERE GOING
TO BRING ME INFORMATION.

YOU WERE GOING
TO WORK WITH ME.

YOU WERE GONNA WORK
THROUGH ME.

BUT, NO,
YOU GO OFF HALF COCKED.

I'VE BEEN CLOCKING
THAT DEMON BODY SHOP FOR MONTHS,

HOPING THAT THEY
WOULD LEAD ME TO THE SOURCE.

NOW YOU COULD'VE BLOWN THAT!

WELL, WHAT ABOUT A WARRANT?
WHAT ABOUT A WRIT OF SEIZURE? W-WHAT--

WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TO GO ON.

NOW, IT HAS TO HOLD UP
IN COURT.

NOW WHAT GOOD IS THE ARREST
IF IT ISN'T CLEAN AND BY THE BOOK?

SOME CITIZENS THAT ARE DEAD
WOULD NOW BE ALIVE.

LOOK, UH, I EARN MY PAY
ON THE STREETS.

NOT IN THE COURTROOM.

YOU WANNA BRING ME UP
ON CHARGES, YOU GO RIGHT AHEAD.

WAIT A MINUTE. WAIT A MINUTE.
WHO'S TALKIN' ABOUT CHARGES?

I WANT YOU
TO LAY OFF THIS CASE.

NOW, LOOK, I NOT ONLY WANT YOU
TO LAY OFF,

I'M ORDERING YOU TO LAY OFF.

NOW, IS THAT
CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD BY BOTH OF YOU?

OFF. ROMANO?

YES, SIR.

HOOKER?

UNDERSTOOD.

IF THERE'S NOTHING FURTHER,
GENTLEMEN,

WE'RE DUE ON PATROL.

(Hooker)
DAVE.

HOOKER.
IT TOOK A LOT OF TALKING,

BUT YOU GOT YOUR WARRANTS
AND YOU GOT YOUR WRIT.

JUST KEEP MY NAME
OUT OF IT, HUH?

HOOKER, YOU'RE NOT GONNA
USE THOSE, ARE YOU?

CAPT. SHERIDAN ORDERED US
TO LAY OFF.

10 MORE MINUTES,
THEY'D BE GONE.

[brakes screeching]

HOLD IT! I'VE GOT A WARRANT
TO SEARCH THE PREMISES.

[motorbike revving]

KEEP 'EM ON ICE, ROMANO!

[siren wailing]

[brakes screeching]

(Mountain)
NO. NO. COME ON, MAN. PLEASE, I GIVE.

NO.

[gun clicking]

I JUST WANT
TO HEAR YOU ASK.

[gasping]

YOU WOULDN'T BE WORTH
THE PAPERWORK.

NUMBERS FILED, HUH?

WHERE'D YOU GET IT, MOUNTAIN?

NO. NO.

WHO'S YOUR CONNECTION?

NO. I AIN'T GONNA SAY NOTHIN'.
I'D BE AS GOOD AS DEAD IF I DID.

WHO'S GONNA
PULL THE TRIGGER?

I, UH, I AIN'T GONNA SAY
NOTHIN', MAN. NOTHIN'!

YOU'RE BLOCKING THE GARAGE
WITH YOUR CAR, HOOKER. I CAN'T GET IN.

I THOUGHT HARVEY
WAS DRIVING YOU HOME.

HIS BOARD MEETING RAN LATE.
HE ASKED ME TO MEET HIM AT THE THEATER.

ARE THE KIDS OK?

YEAH. THEY'RE FAST ASLEEP.
AM I RELEASED NOW?

[laughing]
YES, YOU'RE RELEASED.

THANKS FOR BABYSITTING.

WHAT ARE EX-HUSBANDS FOR?

[phone ringing]

EXCUSE ME.

HELLO. YEAH, HE'S HERE.
MMM-HMM.

OK, I'LL TELL HIM.

THAT WAS CENTRAL DISPATCH.
THEY LOCATED PETE BENEDICT.

SAID HE HAD A MESSAGE
FOR YOU.

HE'S ON ASSIGNMENT
AND HE'LL TALK TO YOU TOMORROW.

TSK. HMM.

IT WAS IMPORTANT.

MAYBE WHAT PETE'S DOING
IS IMPORTANT, TOO.

HOW DO YOU TALK
TO PETE THESE DAYS?

ALL HE WANTS
IS ONE GLORIOUS SWAN SONG

TO LOOK BACK ON
WHILE HE SITS ON HIS BOAT,

IN MEXICO,
COLLECTING HIS PENSION.

I HOPE TO GOD
YOU LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO DO THE SAME THING.

HE LET ME DOWN.

YOU PUT TOO MUCH STOCK
IN THE PAST, HOOKER.

[chuckling]
THE GOOD OLD DAYS.

I LIKE THE GOOD OLD DAYS.

I LIKE OLD CARS,

I LIKE FRIENDSHIPS.

WELL, FRIENDSHIP MEANS
DIFFERENT THINGS TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE.

YOU, YOU'D WALK THROUGH
A FLAMING WALL FOR A FRIEND.

YOU CAN'T EXPECT THAT
IN EVERYBODY.

PETE AND I WERE PARTNERS.

I HAVE A RIGHT
TO EXPECT A LOT FROM PETE.

WE WERE PARTNERS.

DID I EXPECT TOO MUCH
FROM YOU?

[chuckling]
OH, I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.

PEOPLE JUST NEED
DIFFERENT THINGS, I GUESS.

I'M SORRY I COULDN'T
BE EVERYTHING YOU WANTED ME TO BE.

I'M TRULY SORRY.

WELL,

THERE'S NO POINT
IN RAKING UP OLD LEAVES.

NO, NO, NO. WHAT I DON'T NEED
ARE OLD LEAVES.

[both chuckling]

I GOTTA GO.

LISTEN, DO ME A FAVOR,
WILL YOU? UH,

CALL ROMANO AND TELL HIM
TO MEET ME AT THE PRECINCT.

AND TELL HIM
TO BRING THE KIT.

THE KIT?

YEAH, THE ACID ETCHING
SOLUTION.

IT RAISES THE SERIAL NUMBERS
ON WEAPONS

AFTER THEY'VE BEEN FILED AWAY.

HOOKER?

THE KIDS ARE COUNTING ON YOU
FOR SATURDAY.

SATURDAY. I'LL BE THERE.

HOOKER?

I'M COUNTING ON YOU, TOO.

(Hooker)
TRY A LITTLE MORE.

[spraying]

(Romano)
WILL YOU LOOK AT THAT? IT WORKS.

VICKI,

RUN THIS NUMBER
THROUGH THE COMPUTER.

SEE WHAT YOU GOT.

3, 6, 7,

9, 3, 4.

THANKS FOR STAYIN' LATE,
VICKI.

UH, YOU AND LISA
HAVE A NICE LUNCH?

GREAT. GREAT, ROMANO.

WE FOUND OUT WE HAD
ALL KINDS OF THINGS IN COMMON.

WELL, THAT'S NICE.

REAL NICE.

(Hooker)
ARE YOU SURE THIS IS THE NUMBER?

(Victoria)
367934?

ACCORDING TO RECORDS,
THIS GUN WAS ORIGINALLY STOLEN

ON A RESIDENTIAL BURGLARY.

ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO
IT WAS TAKEN FROM AN ARMED ROBBER.

SO IT WAS SENT TO PROPERTY
AT HEADQUARTERS.

HOW COME THIS GUN,
CONFISCATED BY THE DEPARTMENT,

HAULED AWAY AND STORED
FOR SAFEKEEPING...

HOW COME THIS GUN
IS OUT ON THE STREETS AGAIN?

THERE YOU ARE,
DESTROYED JUST LAST MONTH.

LAST MONTH?
ISN'T THAT KINDA FAST?

YEAH, YOU COULD SAY THAT,
ESPECIALLY WHEN THIS INDICATES

THAT IT WAS CHECKED IN
ONLY A COUPLE OF WEEKS BEFORE THAT.

WELL, IT USED TO BE
EVERY 3, 4 MONTHS.

BUT NOW WE SHIP 'EM OUT
TO THE FOUNDRY EVERY 30 DAYS,

JUST LIKE CLOCKWORK.

TOOK A SHIPMENT OUT
THIS MORNING.

THEY'RE NOT DESTROYING
THOSE GUNS.

SOMEBODY'S SWITCHING THEM.

(Pete)
WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?

ALL RIGHT,
I'LL SIGN FOR THIS, SARGE.

[forklift whirring]

(Pete)
ALL RIGHT. GOOD ENOUGH.

[beeping]

CAN YOU TAKE ME DOWN,
THAT WAY? YES, SIR.

(Romano)
WILL YOU LOOK AT THAT.

THOSE 2 GUYS
ON THE FORKLIFTS.

THEY MUST BE IN
ON THE OPERATION.

[hissing]

CAN YOU LAY THAT HOOK
OVER THERE, BEHIND 'EM?

YES, SIR.

ROMANO, WHEN I GET OFF,

YOU COME DOWN THE LADDER
AND TRY AND CUT 'EM OFF.

[squeaking]

[Hooker thuds]

I'M DISAPPOINTED IN YOU,
PETE.

[clattering]

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?
YOU WANNA SHOOT IT OUT WITH ME?

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS?

THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKIN',
PETE. AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.

(Pete)
LET ME GIVE IT TO YOU STRAIGHT.

HOOKER, I AM CROWDING
50 YEARS OF AGE.

I'VE GIVEN MY LIFE
TO THIS DEPARTMENT!

I'VE ALWAYS PLAYED IT
ON THE SQUARE.

ALL OF A SUDDEN,
I REALIZE THAT

I'M FACING RETIREMENT.

I MEAN, I LOOK AROUND,
I SEE THE HUSTLERS.

I SEE THE POLITICIANS.

I SEE THE CROOKED COPS
ALL CLEANING UP.

AND I GOTTA
TURN MY BACK ON IT!

THE ONLY THING I GOT
TO LOOK FORWARD TO IS--

IS THE SMALL POTATOES PENSION.

SO WHEN THEY OFFERED ME
THAT JOB WITH THE GUNS,

I SAW A CHANCE.

A CHANCE FOR ME
TO DO SOMETHING FOR MYSELF.

SO WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?
I'M SELLING GUNS.

WHAT'S A FEW MORE GUNS ADDED
TO THE MILLIONS

THAT ARE ALREADY FLOATING
AROUND THE STREETS?

I UNDERSTAND YOU, PETE.

I EVEN FEEL FOR YOU.

BUT THERE'S ONE THING
THAT BOTHERS ME.

AND IT BOTHERS ME
REAL BAD,

ABOUT THE CONDO
AND THE SWEET LITTLE BOAT.

YOU'VE BEEN BUYING THEM
WITH BLOOD.

SOMETIMES THE BLOOD
OF YOUR OWN FELLOW OFFICERS.

TURN AROUND.

PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOU.

[groaning]

[siren wailing]

[brakes squealing]

HOOKER?
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

(Hooker)
YOU LET ME DOWN.

[clanging]

2, 3, 4.

1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4.

(Romano)
SURE YOU DON'T WANT TO GO OUT FOR A BITE TO EAT?

WITH WHAT YOU EAT, JUNIOR,
I COULD DIE OF STARVATION.

(Lisa)
FREEZE!

ROMANO, YOU NO GOOD,
LOWLIFE RAT.

WE TALKED THINGS OVER
AT LUNCH.

I MEAN EVERYTHING.

YEAH, I--I CAN--

NOT ONLY ARE WE
GOOD FRIENDS, ROMANO,

BUT WE SHARE THE SAME BELIEFS
ABOUT THE CHANGING ROLE OF WOMEN,

THE FEMININE IMPERATIVE
AND ALL OF THAT GOOD STUFF.

(Lisa)
WE'VE BOTH DECIDED TO FREE OURSELVES

OF THE OLD,
CONFINING ROLE PLAYING,

AND SOCIAL PRESSURES.

AND YOU'RE A NICE, LIVELY
MALE SPECIMEN.

YEAH, BUT WHY DON'T WE--

(Lisa)
SO, THIS IS WHAT WE DECIDED.

LISA GETS YOU
TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS.

I GET YOU
MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS.

WE, UH, ALTERNATE
WEDNESDAYS AND WEEKENDS.

HOLD ON. I DON'T THINK
I'M OLD ENOUGH

TO HEAR THIS KIND OF THING.

(Hooker)
LADIES, GOOD DAY. ROMANO, GOOD LUCK.

YOU CAN RETURN MY CAR
IN THE MORNING,

IF YOU CAN STILL DRIVE,
I'M TAKIN' THE BUS.
