All language subtitles for T.J Hooker - Season 1 - 5 - The Witness

IT'S COLDER THAN
A WELL DIGGER'S SHOVEL OUT HERE THIS MORNING.

TAHITI.

TAHITI?

WHENEVER I PULL
EARLY MORNING WATCH,

I THINK ABOUT
SAILING OFF TO TAHITI.

YOU, SAILING?

AS A MATTER OF FACT,
I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT

PUTTING SOME
CASH DOWN ON A USED BOAT.

BEING THAT YOU'RE
ALWAYS BEHIND ON YOUR ALIMONY PAYMENTS,

I'M SURE YOUR EX WILL BE
THRILLED TO HEAR THAT.

STICK TO YOUR
DETECTIVE MANUAL, JUNIOR.

HEY, DON'T KNOCK IT.

IF WE WERE WORKIN'
PLAINCLOTHES, I'D STILL BE HOME

BETWEEN THE SHEETS
IN A WARM BED.

I'VE BEEN THERE.
YOU DON'T NEED IT.

DID YOU SEE SOMETHING
FUNNY IN THAT LIQUOR STORE WE JUST PASSED?

IT SHOULD BE
JUST OPENING, SHOULDN'T IT?

I SMELL SOMETHING.

[sniffing]

IT LOOKED QUIET ENOUGH
TO ME.

THE NOSE, JUNIOR.

THE NOSE KNOWS.

SOMETHING'S GOIN' DOWN,
RIGHT NOW.

[siren wailing]

[tires screeching]

IT'S A PLEASURE TO SEE
LAW AND ORDER AT WORK.

IT'S HEADED THE OTHER WAY.
THAT'S ALL THAT COUNTS.

THE HOUSE IS
DOWN THE STREET. LET'S GO.

[engine revving]

[tires screeching]

THAT GUY'S NOT GONNA STOP.

I'LL STOP HIM.

I'LL TAKE HIM
TO THE WALL.

[brakes screeching]

COME HERE. GIVE ME A HAND.

GET 'EM OUT OF HERE!
BEFORE SHE BLOWS.

CALL FOR AN AMBULANCE

AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

YOU SURE HE AIN'T HOME?

WALLACE IS THE BLUE-COLLAR
BACKBONE OF AMERICA.

COLLECTS VALUABLE COINS,
WORKS THE NIGHT SHIFT, NOT HOME TILL 9:00.

[chuckling]
COME ON.

I WAS THINKIN' OF TAKING
A FEW DAYS OFF AT THE END OF THE MONTH.

OH, FROM WORK
OR YOUR WIFE?

GET OFF MY BACK,
ALISON, WILL YA?

IT'S TOO EARLY
IN THE MORNIN'.

I GOT THE T.V. AND STEREO
IN THE VAN. HOW'RE YOU DOING?

PRETTY GOOD. SOME CASH,
A COIN COLLECTION,

AND A BONUS.

WHAT YOU GONNA DO
WITH THAT?

AH, KEEP IT
FOR PROTECTION.

WITH ALL THE CRIME TODAY,
A MAN CAN'T BE TOO CAREFUL.

COME ON.

HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

[engine accelerating]

LET'S GET OUTTA HERE!

DID I TELL YOU DETECTIVE
IS WHERE IT'S AT?

WE COULD'VE BEEN
BURNED TO A CRISP WITH THOSE CLOWNS.

YOU HAVEN'T EVEN
WORN OUT YOUR FIRST PAIR OF BLUE SOCKS YET,

WOULD YOU STOP WITH
THE DICK TRACY DIALOGUE, ALREADY?

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

SHOOTING REPORT AT
5342 MAGNOLIA,

AMBULANCE ON THE WAY.

WHAT IS THIS, US AGAIN?

IF WE GOT PAID BY THE CALL,
I'D BE A RICH MAN BY NOW.

(Romano)
4-ADAM-30, ROGER.

[siren wailing]

(milkman)
I'M THE ONE WHO CALLED.

I WAS DOWN HERE DELIVERING
MY MILK DOWN THE STREET THERE.

(Romano)
ALL RIGHT, CALM DOWN. I'LL GET IT IN A MINUTE.

WELL, OBVIOUSLY,
WHOEVER PULLED THE TRIGGER IS LONG GONE.

SO IS HE.

WE DON'T NEED
AN AMBULANCE HERE.

WE NEED HOMICIDE.

WE SHOULD NEVER
HAVE LEFT, NEIL.

THE MAN WAS SHOT,
WE SHOULD'VE STOPPED TO HELP HIM.

I DIDN'T SEE
A THING, ALISON.

I DID. AND IF YOU WON'T
GO TO THE POLICE WITH ME, I'LL GO ALONE.

WHAT'LL YOU SAY
WHEN THEY ASK YOU WHO YOU WERE WITH?

AND WHAT AM I SUPPOSED
TO SAY WHEN THE POLICE COME TO MY HOUSE

AND MY WIFE WANTS
TO KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING AT YOUR APARTMENT

WHEN I WAS SUPPOSED
TO BE AWAY ON A BUSINESS TRIP?

WHY DON'T YOU TRY
TELLING HER

WHAT YOU'VE BEEN TELLING ME
FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS?

THAT YOU LOVE ME.

IT'S JUST NOT
THE RIGHT TIME, ALISON.

WHEN IT'S THE RIGHT TIME,

I PROMISE
I'LL MAKE THAT BREAK.

NOW LET'S GET TO WORK
AND PUT WHAT'S HAPPENED

OUT OF OUR MIND, OK?

UH, LET ME GUESS, HOOKER.

NONE OF WALLACE'S
NEIGHBORS HEARD OR SAW ANYTHING.

HE WAS, UH, KILLED
BY SOME INVISIBLE FORCE.

ALL I KNOW IS
WHAT THE MILKMAN SAW.

AND, OF COURSE,
HE CAN'T GIVE US A GOOD IDEA, RIGHT?

NO.

HE DID SEE A RED PORSCHE
TAKE OFF BEFORE THE VAN.

AND HE RECOGNIZED
THE PASSENGER

AS ONE OF HIS
NEIGHBORHOOD CUSTOMERS.

MISS ALISON BAKER.

YOU TALK TO HER?

NO, WE HAVEN'T LOCATED HER.

DESCRIPTION OF THE VAN?

NO VISIBLE PLATES.
RED, GREEN, BROWN. TAKE YOUR PICK.

OH, GREAT.
WHAT ABOUT THE, UH, PORSCHE?

PERSONALIZED PLATES SAID,
UH, "RED TOY 7"?

YEAH, ROMANO'S RUNNING THAT
THROUGH D.M.V. NOW.

UH-HUH.

ACCORDING TO HIS SON,
WALLACE KEPT A .45 CALIBER AUTOMATIC

NEXT TO HIS BED
FOR PROTECTION.

YEAH, IT PROTECTED HIM,
ALL RIGHT.

I JUST HEARD FROM BALLISTICS.

A .45 AUTOMATIC
IS WHAT KILLED MR. WALLACE.

PORSCHE IS
REGISTERED TO

A WEST PARK INSURANCE,
CARE OF A NEIL STONER.

HMM.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE UP TO
OUR TAILS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT

WHO'S WHO ON THIS
BEACH SHOOTOUT, CAPTAIN.

WHY DON'T, UH, WE LET
HOOKER AND ROMANO HERE

FOLLOW THROUGH ON THIS
TILL WE'RE BACK UP TO SPEED MANPOWER WISE?

HOOKER?

NO PROBLEM.

ROMANO WOULD LOVE
TO PLAY DETECTIVE. RIGHT, JUNIOR?

ANYTHING YOU SAY, PARTNER.
ANYTHING YOU SAY.

STAN, STAN.

STAY IN CONTACT
WITH HIM. COME HERE.

COME AFTER ME WITH THE BATON.
COME ON. COME ON.

WALK. TAKE IT. TURN.
SQUEEZE, AND GO.

NOW, STAY IN CONTACT.

[trainees grunting]

A LITTLE ROUGH ON HIM,
WEREN'T YOU? YEAH.

GLAD I DON'T
HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT ANYMORE.

THINK AGAIN.
YOU'RE UP FOR REVIEW TRAINING IN 2 WEEKS.

YOU'RE KIDDING ME?
NO, I'M NOT.

AND STAY ALERT 'CAUSE
I'M DOIN' THE REVIEWING.

EXCUSE ME, MISS.

CAN I HELP YOU?

ARE YOU THE ALISON BAKER
WHO LIVES AT 503 MAGNOLIA DRIVE?

YES, WHY?

WE'D LIKE TO TALK
TO YOU, MISS BAKER.

(Hooker)
YOU AND, UH, MR. STONER.

HAVE FUN, KIDS.

STAY AS LONG
AS YOU LIKE.

SO, DO YOU EVER GET TIRED
OF RUNNINN' THIS KIDDIE PARK?

[chuckling]

IF I HAD SOMETHING
BETTER TO DO, I'D DO IT.

MEANTIME,

IT AIN'T SO BAD.
I LIKE TRAINS.

YOU GET RID OF
THAT GUN?

WHAT IS IT
WITH YOU AND THAT GUN?

YOU SOME KIND OF
CHICKEN ABOUT GUNS?

I AIN'T AFRAID OF GUNS, DANNY.

IT'S THAT GUN I'M AFRAID OF.

IF THE LAW GETS
THEIR HANDS ON IT,

YOU COULD DO
A LIFE STRETCH, EASY.

FORGET ABOUT IT. I DUMPED
THE GUN IN THE RESERVOIR.

SO HOW DID YOU DO?

$800.

$800?
THE COIN COLLECTION ALONE IS WORTH MORE THAN THAT.

MAYBE.
TO A COIN COLLECTOR.

NOT TO A FENCE.

HERE'S YOUR SHARE.
MINUS THE $100 YOU OWE ME.

WHAT ABOUT THE $50
I OWE MY BOSS FOR COVERIN' FOR ME?

YOUR PROBLEM, NOT MINE.

YOU'RE THE ONE ON PAROLE.

ALL RIGHT. SO LET'S TALK
ABOUT OUR NEXT JOB.

RIPPING OFF A HOUSE
IS ONE THING, DANNY.

MURDER'S
SOMETHIN' ELSE, AGAIN.

YOU WASTED THAT DUDE TODAY.

I MIGHT'VE PULLED THE TRIGGER.

BUT I KNOW ENOUGH
ABOUT THE LAW

TO KNOW THAT
WE'RE BOTH GUILTY OF MURDER.

THEY NAIL ME, CAL BABY,
THEY NAIL YOU, TOO.

AND WHAT ABOUT THAT
COUPLE IN THE FANCY SPORTS CAR?

THE GIRL LOOKED
STRAIGHT AT YOU.

SUPPOSE SHE DECIDES
TO HELP THE POLICE?

WE'LL FIND HER FIRST.

AND DO WHAT?

NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK?

[inaudible]

DID YOU KNOW MR. WALLACE WELL,
MISS BAKER?

NOT REALLY.
JUST IN PASSING.

IT'S A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY,
SGT. HOOKER, BUT...

WHY DO YOU WANT
TO TALK TO US?

WELL, WE THOUGHT

YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN
SOMETHING THAT WOULD HELP US FIND THE KILLER.

ACTUALLY, I SAW--

I HATE TO DISAPPOINT YOU,
GENTLEMEN,

BUT I WAS JUST GIVING
MISS BAKER A RIDE TO WORK.

WE MISSED THE SHOOTING.

DID YOU WANT TO
SAY SOMETHING, MISS BAKER?

JUST THAT I'M SORRY
WE CAN'T BE OF MORE HELP TO YOU.

NOW, IF THAT'S ALL,

I'M SORRY BUT I HAVE
A SALES MEETING IN A FEW MINUTES.

THANK YOU, MISS BAKER.

[door closing]

YOUR FAMILY, MR. STONER?

YES.

YOU HAPPILY MARRIED?

YES, I AM.

WHICH IS WHY
I WAS, UH, HOPING THAT, UH

THIS WOULDN'T GO ANY FURTHER.

(Hooker)
WHAT?

THAT YOU DROVE YOUR
SECRETARY TO WORK? WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT?

THANK YOU, MR. STONER.

THEY KNOW MORE THAN
THEY'RE TELLING, HOOKER.

THAT WOMAN HAD SOMETHING
TO SAY,

SHE DIDN'T WANNA
SPILL IT IN FRONT OF HIM.

THEN WHY DON'T WE TAKE
ANOTHER SHOT AT HER?

LATER,
WHEN SHE'S ALONE.

[knocking on door]

HELLO. WE'D LIKE
TO TALK TO YOU

FOR A FEW MINUTES,
MISS BAKER.

UH, I--I JUST GOT
HOME FROM WORK AND I'M REALLY EXHAUSTED.

I'VE ALREADY TOLD YOU
EVERYTHING I KNOW.

IT WON'T TAKE LONG.
REALLY.

OK. COME ON IN.
THANK YOU.

OH, WATCH OUT
FOR THE PLANT.

I WAS JUST MOVING IT.

I'M HOPING
A CHANGE OF SCENE MIGHT PERK IT UP A BIT.

WHOA, LET US HELP YOU.

OH, THAT'S OK.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT.

NO PROBLEM. WHICH WAY?

UH, LEFT.
INTO THE BEDROOM. THIS WAY?

YEAH, CAREFUL.

(Romano)
THIS IS REALLY HEAVY.

WHERE DO YOU WANT IT?

RIGHT IN THE CORNER
WILL BE FINE.

GREAT SUGGESTION, ROMANO.

I THINK I KILLED
MORE PLANTS IN MY TIME THAN THE GYPSY MOTH.

OH, EXCUSE ME.

(Hooker)
HEY, THIS WINDOW LOOKS OVER MR. WALLACE'S PLACE.

YEAH, I, UH, I KNOW.

THE SUSPECT'S VAN
MUST'VE BEEN PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY.

SO THEY COULDN'T BE
SEEN FROM THE STREETS AS THEY CARRIED THINGS OUT.

ARE YOU SURE
YOU DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING

ON YOUR WAY TO WORK,
MISS BAKER?

YOU ALREADY ASKED ME
THAT QUESTION.

BUT I THINK
YOU ARE LYING.

LOOK, I, UH,
I HAVE TO GO.

I'M HAVING DINNER
WITH A GIRLFRIEND OF MINE.

(Romano)
MISS BAKER,

DOESN'T IT BOTHER YOU
THAT YOUR NEIGHBOR WAS MURDERED TODAY?

YOU KNOW, I THINK
I SHOULD GET ANOTHER PLANT FOR THIS WINDOW.

WHAT ARE YOU
AFRAID OF?

I DON'T KNOW.

I JUST-- I JUST
HEAR ABOUT PEOPLE WHO GET INVOLVED,

THEY TRY TO DO THE RIGHT THING
AND THEN THEIR LIVES ARE NEVER THE SAME.

THEY COME OUT ON THE
LOSING END AND THE CRIMINALS ARE OUT IN 30 DAYS.

BUT THAT'S NOT
ALWAYS THE CASE.

MOST CRIMINALS ARE PROSECUTED
AND PUT AWAY FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.

BUT ONLY WITH THE HELP
OF PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF.

HELP US.
TELL US WHAT YOU SAW,

NOTHING'S GONNA
HAPPEN TO YOU. TRUST ME.

UH, THERE WERE 2 MEN.

I ONLY SAW ONE CLEARLY.

THE MAN YOU SAW,
WHAT DID HE LOOK LIKE?

UH, HE WAS ABOUT
YOUR HEIGHT, I GUESS.

BROWN HAIR.

I DON'T KNOW.
IT ALL HAPPENED SO FAST.

MISS BAKER,
WE'D APPRECIATE IT

IF YOU'D COME DOWN
AND TAKE A LOOK AT SOME MUG SHOTS.

TOMORROW, IF YOU COULD.

DO I HAVE TO?

WELL, IT WOULD REALLY HELP
IF YOU COULD.

PRETTY GIRL.
VERY OBSERVANT, ROMANO.

WELL, I GUESS YOU DIDN'T
NOTICE BECAUSE YOUR EYES WERE UNDER TAHITIAN SKIES.

WHAT I NOTICED,
BESIDES HER LEGS,

WAS THAT
SHE WAS SCARED.

[exclaims]

WHAT?

I WAS SUPPOSED TO
MEET A MAN ABOUT A BOAT AFTER WORK.

UNLESS YOU'RE PLANNING
ON SETTING SAIL WITH THE TIDE,

ANOTHER DAY OR SO IN PORT
WON'T MATTER, POPEYE.

[mimicking Popeye]
I AM WHAT I AM!

(trainer)
1, 2, 3, 4.

1, 2, 3, 4...

(Alison)
I'VE SEEN SO MANY,

THEY'RE ALL STARTING
TO LOOK ALIKE.

(Hooker)
WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE A BREAK?

NO. I'M ALL RIGHT.

DO YOU RECOGNIZE HIM, ALISON?
IS THAT THE MAN?

I'M NOT SURE. THE MAN I SAW
DIDN'T HAVE A MOUSTACHE.

RAZOR BLADES ARE CHEAP.

IT LOOKS LIKE HIM,
I JUST CAN'T BE SURE.

WOULD IT HELP
TO SEE HIM IN PERSON?

I THOUGHT YOU SAID
THIS IS ALL I HAD TO DO?

HE'LL BE BEHIND
A ONE-WAY GLASS. HE WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE YOU.

ALISON, WE NEED
A POSITIVE IDENTIFICATION.

DANNY SCOTT, HOOKER.

I'LL SEE
WHAT WE HAVE ON HIM.

HOW DID I EVER
GET MYSELF INTO THIS?

I DON'T KNOW.
ACCORDING TO HIS PAROLE OFFICER,

DANNY SCOTT'S HELD DOWN
A STEADY JOB EVER SINCE HE GOT OUT LAST YEAR.

SEEMS TO BE GOING STRAIGHT.

IN THAT CASE,
HE WON'T MIND GIVING US A LITTLE OF HIS TIME.

(Vitale)
HI, BABY.

[dog whimpering]

HELP YOU FELLAS?

WE'RE LOOKING FOR
DANNY SCOTT?

OH, HE'S IN THE BACK
RUNNING THE FORKLIFT. HE IN SOME KINDA TROUBLE?

WE WON'T KNOW
UNTIL WE TALK TO HIM.

[forklift engine whirring]

DANNY SCOTT?

SCOTT, WE WANNA
TALK TO YOU.

[engine accelerating]

(Hooker)
YOU TAKE HIM. I'LL CUT HIM OFF.

HOLD IT RIGHT THERE.

(Sheridan)
ALL RIGHT, UH, STEP BACK.

TAKE YOUR TIME, MISS BAKER.

NOW, REMEMBER,
THEY CAN'T SEE YOU.

WHAT IF I MAKE
A MISTAKE AND PICK THE WRONG MAN?

THEN IT'S BACK
TO SQUARE ONE.

2ND FROM THE LEFT.

(Hooker)
ARE YOU SURE, ALISON?

I'M SURE.

WELL, THANK YOU, MISS BAKER.

THAT'S ALL WE'LL NEED YOU FOR
RIGHT NOW.

TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH,
I WOULDN'T WANT TO MEET ANY OF THEM IN A DARK ALLEY.

I CAN SEE WHY.
FOUR OF 'EM ARE COPS.

THERE'S A COFFEE MACHINE
IN THE WAITING ROOM.

WHY DON'T YOU
RELAX A BIT?

OK, GENTLEMEN, THAT'S IT.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE
YOUR WITNESS THERE FOR THE PRELIMINARY HEARING.

YOU JUST TELL US
WHERE AND WHEN.

WE'LL BE THERE.

CAPTAIN?

NO, THANKS.

WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT
ALISON HAVING TO BE AT THE HEARING?

YOU SKIP YOUR CLASSES
IN CRIMINAL LAW AT THE ACADEMY, ROMANO?

EVERY MAN OR WOMAN
HAS A RIGHT TO FACE THEIR ACCUSER.

THEN WE SHOULD'VE
BEEN UPFRONT WITH HER.

WE SHOULD'VE TOLD HER
FROM THE START THAT SHE'D HAVE TO TESTIFY.

I HEAR YOU, BUT YOU KNOW
WHAT SHE WOULD'VE SAID.

GET YOURSELF ANOTHER WITNESS.

SO INSTEAD WE LIE TO HER.

DIDN'T LIE TO HER.

JUST DIDN'T TELL HER
EVERYTHING RIGHT AWAY.

THERE'S A DIFFERENCE?

YES, THERE'S A DIFFERENCE.

WE'RE ONE STEP
CLOSER TO PUTTING A MURDERER IN THE SLAMMER,

HOPEFULLY FOR
AN EXTENDED STAY.

AT ANY PRICE, HUH?

WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK
OF THE LAW, JUNIOR.

WHICH IS A HELL OF A LOT
SQUARER DEAL

THAN JAMES WALLACE GOT
WHEN HE GOT SHOT.

(Alison)
FIRST THE MUG SHOTS, THEN THE LINE UP,

AND NOW YOU'RE
TELLING ME YOU WANT ME TO TESTIFY AT A HEARING?

THAT'S THE WAY
THE SYSTEM WORKS, ALISON.

AND YOU WONDER WHY
NOBODY WANTS TO GET INVOLVED?

[sighs]

WELL, I'VE JUST
CHANGED MY MIND.

THANKS FOR THE RIDE.

(Hooker)
I'M GONNA HANDLE THIS.

BE MY GUEST.

I'M NOT GONNA LISTEN TO YOU
LIE TO HER ANYMORE.

ALISON.

ALISON.

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL.

IF YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL,
HOOKER, THEN WHY DON'T YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE?

LOOK, IF DANNY SCOTT
GETS OFF,

IT'S GONNA BE LIKE GIVING HIM
A LICENSE TO KILL.

HE'LL THINK OF HIMSELF
ABOVE THE LAW.

OK, SUPPOSE I TESTIFY
AND HE GETS OFF,

AND THEN-- AND THEN
HE COMES AFTER ME?

BUT THAT'S NOT
GONNA HAPPEN. YOU GOTTA TRUST ME.

TRUST YOU?
HOOKER, YOU LIED TO ME.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU.

WELL--WELL,
THAT CAN BE REMEDIED.

THERE ARE WAYS OF GETTING
TO KNOW EACH OTHER.

WHAT ABOUT DINNER?

ARE YOU ASKING ME OUT?

WHAT ABOUT TONIGHT?

I COULD PICK YOU UP
AT THE OFFICE.

A LITTLE
PERSONAL TOUCH, HOOKER?

[giggling]

YOU LIKE LOBSTER, STEAK,

SUSHI.

SUSHI?

UH, IT JUST SO HAPPENS
I'M FREE.

SO AM I.

[laughing]

THE GIRL PICKED ME
OUT OF THE LINEUP, HUH?

POSITIVE IDENTIFICATION.

WHAT HAVE THEY GOT
WITHOUT HER TESTIMONY, COUNSELOR?

WITHOUT? RESISTING ARREST,

MAYBE A.D.W.
ON A POLICE OFFICER.

ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON,
BUT I MEAN

THERE'S NOTHING THAT CAN
PUT ME IN THE SLAMMER FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE, HUH?

WITHOUT THE GIRL,
THEY CAN'T PIN THE WALLACE KILLING ON YOU.

IF THAT'S WHAT
YOU'RE ASKING.

I WANT YOU TO
GET A HOLD OF CAL

AND TELL HIM TO DO WHAT
I'M GONNA TELL YOU,

OR I'M GONNA
TAKE HIM DOWN WITH ME.

(Stoner)
I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU TALKED TO THE POLICE AT ALL.

AND NOW THIS HEARING.

ALISON, YOU JUST
CAN'T TESTIFY.

YOU DON'T CARE
ABOUT ME, NEIL.

YOU JUST WANNA
BE KEPT OUT OF THIS. IT'S THAT SIMPLE, ISN'T IT?

WHY ARE YOU MAKIN'
THIS DIFFICULT?

YOU'RE JUST MAKING TROUBLE
FOR YOURSELF.

YOU KNOW,
MAYBE I'M SEEING YOU,

THE REAL YOU, CLEARLY,
FOR THE FIRST TIME.

YOU HAVE NO INTENTIONS
OF LEAVING YOUR WIFE, DO YOU, NEIL?

ALISON...

OH, I'M SORRY. I SEEM TO BE
A LITTLE EARLY.

OH, THAT'S OK.
COME ON IN.

MR. STONER.
SERGEANT.

SOMETHING I SAID?

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
I JUST DISCOVERED

THAT HE'S THE KIND OF GUY
WHO CAN LIGHT UP A ROOM BY LEAVING IT.

A LITTLE FRISKY TONIGHT,
AREN'T WE?

MAYBE IT'S MY NERVES.

I'M TRYING TO PSYCHE MYSELF

INTO APPEARING AT THAT
HEARING OF YOUR'S.

THEN YOU'RE GONNA APPEAR?

THAT'S GREAT.

SEE, I--I THOUGHT
I WAS GONNA HAVE TO

WINE, DINE, AND CHARM YOU
ALL NIGHT LONG TO GET YOU TO SAY YES.

OH, DOES THAT MEAN
YOU'RE CANCELLING THE DATE?

OH, NO. GOSH, NO.

I'LL JUST WINE, DINE,
AND CHARM YOU ALL NIGHT LONG TO GET YOU TO SAY YES.

[giggling]

LET'S GO.
OK.

[sighing]

I'M PARKED OVER THERE.

(Alison)
OH, LISTEN, THE RESTAURANT'S RIGHT AROUND

THE CORNER FOR ME.
DO YOU MIND IF I FOLLOW YOU?

DON'T GET LOST.
I WON'T.

[rattling]

[screams]

[car honking]

[continues screaming]

[screams]

[car honking]

(Alison)
HOOKER! HOOKER!

HOOKER! HOOKER!

WHAT HAPPENED?
HE ATTACKED ME.

WHO?

[tires screeching]

YOU STAY PUT.

HOOKER!

HOOKER, MY GOD,
WHAT HAPPENED?

YOU ALL RIGHT?

JUST SCARED TO DEATH.
YOU'RE BLEEDING.

I'M OK.
ARE YOU SURE?

I'M ALL RIGHT.
IT'S JUST A GRAZE.

MY GOD. YOU THINK
THIS HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE HEARING?

IT WASN'T DANNY SCOTT,
IF THAT'S WHAT YOU MEAN.

HE'S BEHIND BARS.

THERE WERE 2 MEN THAT MORNING
AT MR. WALLACE'S. 2 KILLERS.

THE MAN THAT JUST ATTACKED ME,
I KNOW IT WAS THE OTHER MAN.

THERE YOU GO, MISS BAKER.

THANK YOU.

HOOKER, WHEN YOU HAVE
A MINUTE,

CAPT. SHERIDAN SAID
HE CAN SEE YOU AND ROMANO NOW.

OH, THANK YOU.

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

HOOKER, LISTEN, EVEN THOUGH
I DIDN'T SEE HIS FACE,

I KNOW THE MAN
THAT ATTACKED ME

WAS THE OTHER MAN
IN THE WALLACE KILLING.

I CAN'T SAY THAT
HE WASN'T, ALISON.

AND NOW HE'S FOUND ME,
AND HE'S ALMOST KILLED ME.

HOW MANY TIMES
HAVE YOU TOLD ME I HAD NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, HUH?

HOW MANY TIMES?

YOU MEN WANTED TO SEE ME?
YES, SIR, WE DID.

ABOUT MISS BAKER?
THAT'S RIGHT.

MACKEY'S ALREADY DISCUSSED
THE SITUATION WITH ME AND I'M AFRAID

THERE'S NOTHING
WE CAN DO ABOUT IT.

NOTHING?

CAPTAIN, SHE WAS ATTACKED,
SCARED OUT OF HER WITS.

I READ
HOOKER'S REPORT, ROMANO.

AND I'M AWARE OF WHY
YOU FEEL THE WAY YOU DO, BUT--

LOOK, YOU AND I
BOTH KNOW

THAT THE GUY WHO WENT
AFTER HER HAD TO BE ONE OF DANNY SCOTT'S BUDDIES.

NOW, HOW CAN YOU
BE SURE, HOOKER?

THERE WAS NO ATTEMPTED RAPE,
NO ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY.

IT WAS A SHEER ACT OF TERROR.

THAT'S CONJECTURE
ON YOUR PART.

CONJECTURE?

LOOK, SOMEBODY IS SENDING
THIS GIRL A MESSAGE, LOUD AND CLEAR.

"DON'T TESTIFY
AGAINST DANNY SCOTT."

LOOK.

I'LL DO THE BEST I CAN.

WE'LL GO OVER SCOTT'S
KNOWN ASSOCIATES, AND--

THAT'S NOT WHAT
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT PROTECTION.

BASED UPON WHAT?

NOW LISTEN, HOOKER.
I'M ON YOUR SIDE,

BUT WE CAN'T HANDLE
THE CALL LOAD AS IT IS.

YOU KNOW
AS WELL AS I DO,

THAT UNLESS YOU CAN BRING ME
SOME PROOF THAT LINKS SCOTT WITH THE ATTACK,

I SIMPLY CAN'T TAKE MEN
OFF OTHER CASES.

CAPTAIN, WE OWE HER
THE PROTECTION.

SHE WENT OUT
ON A LIMB FOR US.

IT'S A MATTER OF MANPOWER,
HOOKER.

NOTHING MORE,
NOTHING LESS.

DO I WANT TO GET MARRIED?
HOOKER, IS THAT A PROPOSAL?

NO, NO, NO.
I WAS JUST CURIOUS.

SURE I WANNA GET MARRIED.

WHAT GIRL WANTS TO WATCH
ALL HER PLANTS DIE ALONE?

THEN WHY ARE YOU DATING
NEIL STONER, A MARRIED MAN?

LISTEN, HOOKER, IF THERE'S
SOMETHING PERSONAL YOU WANNA KNOW, DON'T BE SHY.

JUST COME
RIGHT OUT WITH IT.

CAN I GET YOU
SOMETHING TO DRINK?

A CUP A COFFEE
WILL DO FINE.

ALL RIGHT, HOOKER,
I'M DATING A MARRIED MAN

'CAUSE MOST SINGLE MEN
THAT I'VE MET

ARE EITHER
EMOTIONALLY IMMATURE OR THEY'RE BORING.

SINCE WE'RE PLAYING
TRUE CONFESSIONS, NOW IT'S YOUR TURN.

WHY DID YOU GET DIVORCED?

MY JOB,
PRESSURES OF BEING A COP.

AND FOR MY WIFE,
THE PRESSURES OF BEING MARRIED TO ONE.

ANY CHILDREN?

OH, YEAH. 2 GIRLS, ONE BOY.

SO YOU HAVE
CHILD SUPPORT, ALIMONY...

2 SEPARATE HOUSEHOLDS,
TUITION, DOCTOR BILLS.

AND A LOT OF DOUBTS.

YOU?

BEING SINGLE AGAIN,
STARTING ALL OVER, MEETING PEOPLE.

I WAS MARRIED A LONG TIME.
THIS IS-- THIS IS ALL VERY NEW TO ME.

DID YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS
ABOUT OUR DATE THIS EVENING?

I ALMOST CALLED
TO CANCEL OUT TWICE.

I'M GLAD YOU DIDN'T.

NO QUESTION ABOUT IT,
ONE OF MY BETTER DECISIONS.

WILL YOU EXCUSE ME
FOR ONE MINUTE?

ONE MINUTE ONLY.

[screams]

(Alison)
HOOKER! HOOKER!

[sobbing]

MY GOD, HE WAS HERE,
RIGHT HERE IN MY APARTMENT.

ALISON, ALISON,
I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL.

BUT YOU'VE GOT TO GO
TO THAT HEARING.

HOOKER, YOU PROMISED ME
SOME PROTECTION.

I STRUCK OUT,
A SHORTAGE OF MANPOWER. I'M SORRY. I'M REALLY SORRY.

I CAN'T DO THIS, HOOKER.

I JUST CAN'T DO THIS!
ALISON, LISTEN TO ME.

I'LL STAY HERE TONIGHT
WITH YOU IF YOU WANT.

LOOK, I NEED YOU.

YOU CAN'T BACK OUT NOW!

(judge)
AND THEREFORE, THE CASE AGAINST DANNY SCOTT

[gavel pounding]
IS DISMISSED.

(Hooker)
ALISON.

HOOKER, JUST
LEAVE ME ALONE.

ALISON, DANNY SCOTT
WAS LYING, AND SO WERE HIS KEY WITNESSES.

YOU KNOW THAT
AND I KNOW THAT, BUT THE JUDGE DIDN'T.

SCOTT HAD AN ALIBI.
AND--AND THE D.A. COULDN'T BREAK IT.

HIS BOSS SWORE THAT HE WAS
HALFWAY ACROSS TOWN WHEN YOU CLAIMED YOU SAW HIM.

SO NOW IT'S HIS WORD
AGAINST MINE, RIGHT?

THAT'S WHAT IT
BOILS DOWN TO, ALISON.

I'M SORRY.

YOU'RE SORRY?
AND NOW SCOTT'S PARADING AROUND FREE?

WHAT WAS IT
YOU TOLD ME, HOOKER? THAT I SHOULD TRUST YOU?

WELL, I DID,
AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED. NOW, I'M A TARGET.

THANKS FOR
DESTROYING MY LIFE.

[knocking on door]

WHO IS IT?

(Hooker)
ALISON, IT'S ME, HOOKER.

OH, HOOKER, GO AWAY.

PLEASE OPEN THE DOOR,
JUST FOR A SECOND. I WANNA TALK TO YOU.

[sighs]

LEAVE ME ALONE.
PLEASE. I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY TO YOU.

I CAN'T LEAVE YOU ALONE.

I'M NOT GOING TO.
OPEN THE DOOR.

THANK YOU.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

ALISON, IT'S MY FAULT THAT
YOU'RE ON THE FIRING LINE.

AND--AND--AND--

I WANT TO DO SOMETHING
TO HELP YOU.

HOOKER, EVERY TIME
YOU TRY TO HELP, I END UP NEEDING HELP.

I'M JUST TRYING
TO DO MY JOB.

AND I CAN'T DO IT ALONE.
WE NEED PEOPLE LIKE YOU, TO STAND UP TO THESE

GUTLESS CREEPS THAT ARE
MESSING UP THE STREETS.

YOU DON'T SEEM
TO UNDERSTAND, HOOKER.

I'VE DONE EVERYTHING
I CAN DO. NOW, I'M AFRAID OF BEING KILLED.

I KNOW. I KNOW.
LISTEN, I'VE GOT A WEEK'S VACATION COMING UP,

I TOLD SHERIDAN
I WOULDN'T TAKE IT.

I'M GONNA USE
THE MONEY TO PAY FOR EXTRA PROTECTION FOR YOU.

UNTIL THESE
GUYS ARE PUT AWAY.

OH, HOOKER.

OH, I--I GUESS I SHOULD
TELL YOU I--I DON'T WANT YOU TO DO THAT.

MAKE THAT SACRIFICE.

BUT I'M JUST SCARED TO DEATH.

HOW DID I GET
INTO THIS MESS?

IT WASN'T EASY.

YOU THINK YOUR CHARM'S
GONNA WORK HERE?

NO. NO. CHARM'S NOT,
BUT VICKI WILL.

SHE'S ON HER WAY OVER.
SHE'S GONNA STAND BY WHILE I'M ON DUTY.

AND I'VE GOT A LIST OF GUYS
READY TO DO THE SAME.

OH, HOOKER, WHAT AM I
GONNA DO WITH YOU?

THERE ARE
A NUMBER OF WAYS TO GO.

[giggles]

IT'S OK. IT'S OK.

WHAT ARE YOU
KIDDING, VITALE?

THAT'S NOT PLATED,
IT'S THE REAL McCOY.

I THOUGHT WE'D LEAVE IT HERE
WITH YOU FOR SAFEKEEPING TILL WE FIND A FENCE,

THEN WE'LL GIVE YOU
YOUR CUT.

AH, THAT'S OK, DANNY.

I'LL TAKE CARE
OF IT FROM HERE.

WHAT DO YOU
MEAN, NICK?

YOU GUYS DON'T THINK
I'D PUT MY HEAD

ON THE BLOCK
AT THAT HEARING FOR MY HEALTH, DO YOU?

WE SAID WE'D TAKE
CARE OF YOU, MAN.

I KNOW YOU DID. THAT'S WHY
I'M CONSIDERING THIS THE DOWN PAYMENT.

DOWNPAYMENT?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN DOWN PAYMENT?

BE A NICE BOY.
EXTRA NICE TO ME FROM NOW ON.

'CAUSE I KNOW
TOO MUCH, MY FRIEND.

BESIDES, IF I WERE YOU,

I'D BE MORE CONCERNED
WITH TAKING CARE OF THAT LITTLE LADY.

SHE CAN STILL PUT
YOU AWAY, YOU KNOW.

NOT BAD, DANNY.
NOT BAD.

WELL, DON'T WORRY, NICK.

I INTEND TO TAKE CARE
OF EVERYTHING.

GOOD. GOOD.

NOBODY'S GONNA
DO ME THAT WAY.

WHAT ARE YOU
GONNA DO?

LET ME GET RID OF
A PROBLEM WITH NICK. THE GIRL'S NEXT.

NOT FOR ME, PARTNER.
WE SPLIT FROM HERE.

I DON'T WANT NO PART OF YOU
FROM HERE ON OUT.

[chuckling]
COME ON, CAL.

BUT WHATEVER'S FAIR
IS FAIR.

I DON'T NEED YOU
ANYMORE, ANYWAY.

YOU STILL HAVE
ALISON ON YOUR MIND, RIGHT?

RIGHT.

LOOK, HOOKER, YOU DID
THE BEST YOU COULD.

DID I?

I'M MAD AS HELL
AT WHAT HAPPENED TO HER.

I DIDN'T HAVE TO SEE
DANNY SCOTT'S FACE WHEN HE WALKED AWAY FROM THAT HEARING

TO KNOW THAT
HE WAS LAUGHING AT US, AND THE SYSTEM.

YEAH. IT HURTS.

ESPECIALLY WHEN
WE KNOW ALISON WAS TELLING THE TRUTH,

AND DANNY'S BOSS WASN'T.

I'VE BEEN
THINKIN' ABOUT THAT. NICK VITALE.

MAYBE WE OUGHT TO
SHAKE HIM...

SEE WHAT FALLS.

IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE
THERE'S ANYBODY HOME.

TRY THE OFFICE.

[dog squeals]

[dog barking]

SOMETHING'S BOTHERING
THE DOG.

[barking]

IT'S OK, BOY. TAKE IT EASY.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.
IT'S ALL RIGHT. RELAX. IT'S OK.

GET AN AMBULANCE.

YOU GOT IT.

VITALE, WHO SLUGGED YOU?

DANNY.

DANNY SCOTT?

YEAH.

WHERE CAN I FIND HIM?

HE BUNKS WITH
HIS PARTNER, CAL.

JASTROW.
AT THE KIDDIE PARK.

TRAIN LAYOUT.

TRAVEL TOWN?

YEAH.

JASTROW.

I NAILED HIM
A FEW YEARS BACK.

I KNOW JASTROW.

[siren wailing]

HOLD IT, JASTROW!

ROMANO.

HOOKER, HOOKER, OVER HERE!

NICE TACKLE, KID.

YOU COULD'VE MADE FIRST ROUND
DRAFT CHOICE.

[men panting]

ALL RIGHT, JASTROW,
WHERE'S YOUR PAL, DANNY SCOTT?

HOW SHOULD I KNOW?

YOU KNOW.
SPILL IT. SPILL IT!

HE WENT TO KILL
THE GIRL.

[exclaims]

YOU SHOULDN'T
HAVE GOTTEN INVOLVED, LADY.

[Alison screams]

HELP! HELP ME!

[grunting]

YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE
IDENTIFIED ME, ALISON!

YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TESTIFIED.

[screaming]

HELP ME! HELP!
SOMEBODY HELP!

HOLD IT!

[Alison crying]

[Alison screaming]

COME ON, ALISON.
COME ON.

[sobbing]

[sighs]

IT'S OVER, ALISON.
IT'S FINALLY OVER.

(Mackey)
WELL, WHAT'S THIS, A HALF DAY?

YEAH. 12 HOURS.

HOW YOU DOING
WITH DANNY SCOTT?

OH, HE'S TALKING
REAL GOOD, ROMANO.

WE EVEN GOT ENOUGH
TO PICK UP THAT SHYSTER LAWYER OF HIS.

HERE YOU WANT SOME?

NO, THANKS.
DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE MISSIN'.

SO, YOU'RE REALLY
GONNA TAKE A LOOK AT THAT BOAT TONIGHT?

OH, YEAH, YEAH.
I BOUGHT MYSELF A NEW PAIR OF DECK SHOES.

THE GUY WHO'S SELLING THE BOAT
INVITED ME ON BOARD

FOR A FEW BEERS.
WHAT ABOUT YOU?

HOT DATE?
NO. I'M STAYING HOME TONIGHT.

CURLING UP WITH
A NICE HOT BOOK ON CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION.

AFTER THAT I'M GONNA
STUDY THE PENAL CODES.

YEAH, YOU DO THAT, JUNIOR.
I THINK A CHANGE IN MY PLANS JUST WALKED IN.

HI. YOU GUYS GOT
PLANS TONIGHT?

WELL, NOW ROMANO IS GONNA
BE A DETECTIVE.

DETECTIVE.
OH, THAT'S NICE.

YEAH, NICE.

THERE ARE A LOT OF PENAL CODES
AND, UH, CASE HISTORIES,

SO, I--I BETTER BE GOING.

TOMORROW, HOOKER.

BYE, GUYS.

GOOD NIGHT.
WHAT ABOUT YOU, HOOKER?

WELL, I WAS
THINKING ABOUT TAHITI.

WHAT DID YOU HAVE IN MIND?

I WAS THINKING ABOUT DINNER
AT MY PLACE ABOUT 8:00.

OH?

WHY DON'T YOU MAKE IT 7:00.

YOU CAN HELP ME FIND A PLACE
TO KILL SOME NEW PLANTS.

[chuckles]

HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.
HOW DO I KNOW YOU CAN COOK?

HOOKER, TRUST ME.

TRUST ME?

AND WHERE HAVE I
HEARD THAT BEFORE?

OH, COME ON.
