- So, how are things going with Jill?

- Hard to say.

I like her but as far as how it's going,

you know, I couldn't tell ya.

- You've been dating her what, three or four months?

You've gotta more than like her.

- Why?

- What do you mean why?

You've had enough time to know, that's all.

(laughing)

- Maybe I don't wanna rush into anything.

- That's the trouble with you guys.

You can never make up your mind.

(upbeat music)

(suspenseful music)

Five minutes and we're gonna be rollin' in diamonds.

Nice, it's easy when you got the schematic.

Your girl did the job right, Bobby.

Nice, very nice, that's a wrap.

You okay?

- You sure?

It might do you good to just relax.

- I'm sure.

- All right, it's no problem.

We can go to my place.

You can soak your bod and I'll scramble us up some eggs.

- Jim, I really meant that I just wanna go home.

Alone, okay?

- Hey, you sure nothing's wrong?

Help, quick.

(gentle music)

(sirens blaring)

- [Nurse] We'll take it from here.

- The boy had a school ID in his pocket,

I'll see if I can track his parents.

- [Woman On Hospital Intercom] Dr. McCullin, surgery please,

Dr. McCullin.

(car honking beeps)

- You sure you don't want me to come in?

Rub your back?

Did ya?

I know something's not right.

Now, what's upsetting you?

- Why does anything have to be wrong?

I mean, nothing's changed in the past 20 minutes.

I just want to be alone, okay?

- I get the feeling you wanna be alone.

- Look Jim, I'm sorry, it's just,

it's just that I've got a few things on my mind.

- Goodnight.

(clack)

- How did you get in here?

- With these.

Let me ask you something,

what is it with you and this escort guy?

- It's just a guy.

I've known him three or four months.

He's nice.

But after what you made me do I can't see him anymore.

- Then you won't mind going back for me one more time.

- No Curtis, not ever again.

Now just get outta here.

- Hey. (thud)

The heist went sour tonight.

A guard got a little shot.

if he dies that means we could all be looking at murder one,

including you Jill baby.

We gotta set up another job.

And you gotta do your number again.

I need another set of schematics

or you're dead baby.

(police radio in the distance)

- I wanted to get your thoughts on the perpetrators.

That helicopter get away was pretty heavyweight stuff.

- I don't recognize the M.O. but they're pros.

Career criminals, you can bet on it.

- The guard's in critical condition.

They dropped him in one shot.

- Well, they know how to pull a robbery.

But they don't give a damn about human life.

- Well, we've stopped the bleeding

but he'll need more blood.

- I'm type O positive.

- Good, I'll set you up for a blood draw.

Then I think you ought go home and get some rest.

I'll call if there's any change in the boy's condition.

- Hitting him pretty hard isn't it?

- He'd rather have taken that bullet himself.

(car engine revving)

- Is Hooker still in there with the shooting team?

- It's gotta break soon.

- Is there anything we can do in the mean time?

- Yeah, Lieutenant Reemer wants us to give him a hand.

I called Air Support Division.

They're running a check on a

partial ID number I got from the chopper.

- Can we follow that up for you?

- Hooker wanted you two to contact your snitches.

See if there's any word out there on a new talent in town.

- We'll get right on it.

- I ordered him to throw out his weapon.

Then he jumped out.

- But you couldn't see that it was a kid?

- The shadows magnified his size.

And when he jumped out I,

I thought what he had in his hand was a gun.

- But you weren't sure?

- We were in hot pursuit.

- So you just blew the little sucker away?

- Chasing armed suspects.

- I hate it Hooker.

I mean, I really hate this one.

The Citizens Committee, the community,

they're gonna be climbing all over the top brass

and we're in deep trouble over the mess you made.

- Unfortunately not as much trouble as the little boy.

(scrapping)

(clack)

- All right, hold it.

I checked with Division Command

and I have their okay for Hooker to remain on duty

while your investigation is in progress.

- We're not through with you Hooker.

We'll be back for more.

But in the meantime,

you keep that piece in your holster while you're out there.

Or mister, you're gonna be getting a lot more heat.

- I'm not worried about the heat.

I'm worried about that little boy.

(action music)

- I still think you're making too much out of a broken date.

- Maybe, maybe not.

- Call Hooker, tell him we came up empty with our snitches.

(upbeat music)

- Jim, I said I'd call you.

- I was worried.

I tried to phone you after I got home last night.

- Yeah, well I unplugged my phone.

I didn't feel like talking to anyone.

- Anyone or me in particular?

- Jim.

- All right so talk to me now.

Let's get to what's bothering you.

- Oh, you're an expert on women?

- I'm just trying to make sense of what's going on.

Now, if you need help tell me.

- If I do I'll ask for it.

- Hey, I'm here now, don't wait till I'm not around.

- Look, I'm trying to be nice.

Take the hint, will you Jim.

It's over.

It was fun, it was maybe even more than fun

but it's over so just leave me alone.

Will you?

- Sure.

Anything you say babe.

(upbeat music)

(suspenseful music) (plane engine roaring)

- [Hooker] According to this report

from Air Support Division,

a chopper with the numbers you spotted

is parked on this field.

- [Vince] Well, there's no Hughes 500's out here.

- Will you unlock that hangar for us please?

(rattling)

Thanks.

There's the Hughes 500.

- It's a match on the ID numbers.

- And there's your bullet hole.

- It's got a keyed ignition, can these things be hot-wired?

- If you know what you're doing.

(thud)

This ignition bypass has Lester Viccio written all over it.

- Lester, isn't he the one who had that

sweet operation going for him

flying in cocaine from mother ships in stolen choppers?

- Let's get the word out that we're looking for him.

And then I wanna stop by the hospital.

- Hooker.

I know it's eating at you.

The little boy, what happened.

It was an accident.

- I'll try to remember that

in the middle of night when I wake up reliving it.

(soft music)

(suspenseful music)

- Well, Mr. Barton's waitin'.

- Look Curtis, I told you,

I'm not gonna sleep with him again.

- You're gonna have to sleep with him

and do anything else you have to honey,

until you get him drugged.

- Then you do exactly as he did last time,

you find the right alarm schematic in his briefcase

and you take a picture.

- No, I can't and I won't.

- Well, you know, you're being very selfish.

You gotta think of your family here Jill.

I mean, what's it gonna do to them

when they find out what kind of movies that you make, huh?

- Give me that.

- No no no no no.

Not until we get what we want.

(thud)

- As soon as she gets this schematic

we're gonna take her for a chopper ride.

Tonight.

(whistling)

One way.

(car engine revving)

- Lieutenant Reemer talked to the alarm system exec,

a guy by the name of Barton,

he's stumped as to how they got past the system.

(grunts)

Viccio's new garage should be up ahead.

- It better be or I know the snitch

who's in a lot of trouble.

I wanna get this over with

so I can get back to the hospital.

(tools clacking)

Hey man, I need a couple of dime bags!

(rattling)

Lester Viccio.

(patting thuds)

Look at them partner, Lester Viccio

who could hot-wire anything from a moped to the 747

and now just another street hype.

With shakes so bad you could fall off a tricycle.

- Hey, I kicked it Hooker, I'm clean.

- [Hooker] You did Lester?

You kicked the whole thing? - Yeah yeah yeah, yeah.

- Well, somebody's hot-wiring choppers.

You teach somebody your tricks?

I want a name. - No.

- Why would I tell you, for old time sake?

- How about for your sake!

- [Romano] Well fine, well let's just pump it into himself.

- Three guys, I should it to three guys

we were in machine shop together in the joint

but I never saw them on the outside, never.

- Give us some names.

- George Miles,

Mel Ramsey and, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah, Larry Feldon.

- That's it? - Yeah.

- No more? - No.

- You sure? - Yeah.

- You know something?

I believe you.

So Lester I'm gonna give you five minutes

before I call the narcs and tell them to come out here

and take this place apart.

- [Woman] Paco Mendez's room please.

- [Hooker] Mrs. Mendez.

- Yes.

- I'm the officer who shot your son.

- Stinkin' pig!

You like shooting kids, huh?

Maybe 'cause they don't shoot back.

- I've been trying to think of something to say

but I don't know any words that go deep enough.

- My mother don't wanna hear your lousy lies.

You shot my brother!

He's over there dying, man.

Dying!

- Mrs. Mendez--

- I don't want to hear your excuses.

I don't want them and I don't need them.

- I have three children.

They're the best part of my life.

There's no way I could replace any one of them.

If your son--

- If my son dies he won't be the first.

My older son was killed in Vietnam.

He was a hero but he's dead.

My second son was shot by a gang.

He's also dead.

Now you have shot my baby!

You come to me when someone has killed one of your children.

Only then will we have anything to say to each other.

(soft music)

(knocking taps)

- Who is it?

- This is Jim.

(rattling)

We gotta talk.

- Oh Jim.

- What ever it is let me help.

- Nobody can help me.

Look, I've just gotta work this thing out by myself.

- Work what out?

- You don't know me Jim.

I'm no good for you.

- What are you talkin' about?

- I want you to go.

- Jill.

- Look, if you stay you're just gonna make things worse.

- What's going on?

- Look, I'm begging you Jim.

Go!

(soft music) (thud)

(beeping) (soft music)

- Ramsey.

- What?

- Ramsey.

(beeping)

(car engine revving)

- Sounds like a gutsy little kid.

- He even managed to tell me something

that's gonna make it easier for us.

- Yeah?

- A name.

Ramsey.

- One of Viccio's hot-wire students.

- You got it.

He must have heard Ramsey's name at the construction site

before we arrived and I checked with the FAA.

Ramsey had a chopper license before he got busted.

- Then we can eliminate the other two

and bear down on finding Ramsey.

(police radio beeping)

(police radio beeping)

Satellite gems.

Suspects in a late-model black Trans Am

- Explosion, gem robbery, could be our guys.

Notify dispatch we're in a position to cut 'em off.

- Dispatch, this is Four Adam 30 rolling back up to nine.

(sirens wailing)

Hooker, if they're heading west

Fourth dead ends at Carson, nine has them cut off.

- Unless they have a chopper stashed somewhere in between.

- Another construction site?

- Like, maybe the new firehouse going up near the projects.

(siren blaring) (tires screeching)

- [Man] Cops.

- Police, hold it!

(gun bangs)

(helicopter blades rattling)

(gun bangs)

Romano, call it in!

Tell 'em they got away again.

In another chopper.

(helicopter blades rattling) (suspenseful music)

(soft music) (church bell clacking)

- You're Jim.

I'm Jill's sister Louise.

She told me so much about you.

- Oh, Jill told me about you too.

This is Stacy Sheridan.

- We're very sorry for your loss.

- Thank you.

- I hope you know how important Jill was to me.

I know this is the worse possible time

to have to ask for information but we have no choice.

- I understand.

- Something happened between Jill and me.

The last few days she changed.

- In what way?

- She wasn't herself, she was edgy, troubled.

Do you know if she was involved with anyone else?

- Oh, I don't think so.

She hasn't mentioned anyone but you

since you started seeing each other.

- Have you noticed any change in her?

- The last time I saw her she did seem terribly unhappy.

But when I asked what was wrong she wouldn't tell me.

- Well, did she say anything at all,

anything that might help us?

- She wondered how long you have to keep paying

for one mistake.

- Do you know what she meant?

- I don't have any idea.

No idea at all.

(thud)

- Lieutenant, I got the rap sheet of the maggot I dropped.

- Jeremiah Alvin Stram.

- Man slaughter, attempted murder, burglary, larson.

Assault.

And Stram's a saint compared to the con

he broke out of the joint with four months ago.

- A killer by the name of Tom Warfield.

- A couple of career types.

- What about that copter pilot you had a lead on?

- Well, we're coning the airfields

for him or somebody who knows him.

What's happening on Jill Newmark's homicide?

Corrigan's really hurting.

- I know.

But I'll tell you exactly what I told him,

we have absolutely nothing to go on.

- What about the people at the dance aerobics studio?

- Nothing there either.

She was just a nice girl with no problems and no enemies.

- She must of had at least one of each

or else she'd still be alive.

- There was this cameraman at the dance aerobics studio.

Curtis.

Corrigan thinks there might be something

between him and Jill.

Did you run a make on him?

- Corrigan beat us to it.

Curtis was nailed on a porno film bust two years ago.

He's been clean ever since.

But Corrigan wanted me to bring him in

for questioning anyway.

- I don't like the sound of that Hooker.

Sounds like Jim may be getting ready to blow.

- Yeah.

(car engine revving)

- Jim, I know you're torn up but, um,

we have a job to do.

- I was there with her

and just a few hours later she's dead.

Dumped in the ocean.

I should have sensed she was in trouble,

I should have been able to help her.

- Don't worry, we'll find out who did it.

We will.

- I can't help but feel that Curtis was involved somehow.

The way he looked at her.

- Maybe I can find out.

- How?

- Hooker cleared it with the Captain Reemer.

Dance Aerobic Studios is holding auditions tomorrow.

It'll give me an excuse to nose around.

- Hey, look partner, that could be dangerous.

- You just said the magic word,

partner.

I wanna help and I'm going to.

(upbeat music)

Excuse me, maybe you can give me some advice.

How do I score points with Elroy?

- Well, I'll tell ya, the main thing to do is

give them a lot of moves.

Erotic's good.

Don't make it too raunchy though.

(laughing)

- You must be pretty tight with the girls who work here.

- Chicks on the other side of the camera

too hung up on themselves, if you know what I mean.

- The girl who was killed, was she that way?

- Thanks Gloria, we'll let you know.

Stacy Sheridan.

Okay, why don't you run through some basic moves

and let's see some free style.

- Okay.

(upbeat music)

- Okay, cut.

Okay kid.

Ah, ladies, thank you.

We'll be in touch if we need you.

(laughing)

Well, what do you say we

try it for a while see if you like each other?

- You mean I got the job?

- Starting now.

(police radio beeping)

We'll pull a warrant, meet you there.

(upbeat music)

- [Elroy] All right, cut.

I like it.

Hit the showers.

- Well, if you don't need me anymore

- Yeah, it's a wrap.

- Okay.

(footsteps tapping)

(thud)

(thud)

(suspenseful music)

(phone ringing)

- Yeah?

- What?

- Warfield, a new girl showed today.

She's a cop and I think she found a phone message

Barton left for me.

- Is this girl still there?

- [Curtis] Yeah.

- Well, done let her walk, okay.

We're on our way.

(thud)

- One mistake Jill told her sisters about.

(upbeat music)

(exhales)

- Yeah, that was a really good workout.

I feel really good about it,

we're making some good progress.

- Hey, Stacy.

- See you tomorrow.

- [Stacy] Bah-bye.

- Bye.

- Elroy wants me to shoot some portraits of ya

for his publicity reps.

- Oh, I have a hot date.

Maybe tomorrow though, okay?

- I don't think so. (gun clacking)

Cop.

(upbeat music)

(thud) - Damn.

- Jim!

That's evidence.

- That was a desperate girl nobody needs evidence like that.

- You're still a policemen

and this ties it all together.

- Ties what?

- Curtis, the photographer,

he was busted for pornography two years back.

Curtis, Ramsey and Jill.

It wasn't a love triangle

that got Jill dumped 30 miles at sea.

- From a helicopter flown by Ramsey.

- She was in the middle of a jewel heists.

And now Stacy is.

- We've gotta get her out of that studio.

(phone ringing)

- There it is.

(phone ringing) (suspenseful music)

- Tie her up and let's get outta here.

(suspenseful music)

- You plan to dump me in the ocean like you did to Jill?

- No, the place I had in mind is a bit dryer

but you'll be just as dead.

- Chopper at another construction site?

- What, for an officer of the law?

Oh now, you're gonna go first class from the airport.

(suspenseful music) (sirens wailing)

- There's Stacy's car.

- Why didn't she answer the phone?

- I don't like it.

(suspenseful music)

Hey, this camera is on.

It's still taping.

Turn that thing back.

(clacking)

- [Stacy] Chopper at another construction site?

- [Romano] Sounds like Stacy.

- [Warfield] Oh no,

you're gonna go first class from the airport.

- They're talking her to an airport.

- Hallie Field, where Ramsey works.

Where he can get his hands on the chopper fast.

(suspenseful music)

(sirens wailing)

(helicopter blades rattling)

- [Stacy] They'll be looking for me!

- [Warfield] Where you're going

they're gonna be looking for you for a long time, honey.

(clack)

(sirens wailing)

(thud)

(tires screeching) (sirens wailing)

(helicopter blades rattling)

(thud)

(sirens wailing) (helicopter blades rattling)

- [Curtis] Cops!

Let's get the hell outta here.

(helicopter blades rattling) (tires screeching)

- [Romano] Are you all right?

- [Stacy] Yeah.

- Call for backup.

(suspenseful music)

(gun bangs)

- You're a dead man.

- Yeah, and you're a cop.

You'd never do it.

(suspenseful music)

- No one would ever know.

It would be easy.

(gun clicking)

(suspenseful music)

(plane engine rattling)

(suspenseful music)

(gun bangs)

- [Hooker] Hold it right there scum.

- Jim!

He's not worth it.

- You have the right to remain silent.

If you give up the right to remain silent

anything you say can and will be used against you

in a court of law.

(soft music)

- Hey cop!

I told you not to hang around my kid brother anymore.

- You don't have a kid brother.

A kid brother is someone you take care of, you protect.

- I don't need that, man!

- I'm gonna be on you like white on rice.

You sneeze, I'll be there with a handkerchief.

And if your nose isn't clean I'll wipe it to the dirt.

And another thing,

or you stay the hell away from.

You got me?
