I think I'll take you to Hawaii with me.

How about that? Why not?

Carl, come on, let's get off.

Crowley's on his way up. I hope you like vanilla...

[Gasps]

Carl!

Pepper: What car? - That was our job and we did it.

And a man is dead, a good man.

-He's worried about the girl. -She's a cop!

You live by the rules.

-Sometimes. -I don't.

Not when I see something I like.

Bill, Pete's gonna hang back here for a couple of minutes

and see what these two guys are up to.

[Explosion]

[Theme music playing]

[Mellow music playing]

Marr: No, crowley. No.

Crowley: Okay, Joey.

Yeah, I can see your side of it.

You don't want to go back to the states.

I don't blame you, man, not after what's happened...

Three times they tried to kill me.

Last year, my kid, the kidnap.

- That's what happened, crowley. - You don't have to tell me.

I mean, we helped you get her back, remember.

Yeah, you helped. And I said it then, thanks.

Yeah, well, I tell you what we're saying to you, now.

Me and Landon here, the U.S. attorney's office,

your father's dead, Joey. You'll be next.

And the guys who dusted him, his "friends", his compadre,

those guys in Vegas who were part of his organization

before they killed him and took over that organization,

man, they're still around. They're going strong.

Now, Joey, the government needs their names and needs 'em bad.

Hell, you can give us enough information

to hang those turkeys by their toes.

There must be a lot you want to say, right?

Just to even up the score a little bit...

Mr. Marr, we know that you're separated from your wife

and your daughter's with her,

and we know that you're concerned about them.

That if you talk, what happened before might happen again

but let me assure you they'll be safe.

Now, we'll keep them guarded as long as necessary,

round the clock, a year, two years.

The same goes for you, Joey. What is this, your ninth,

your tenth hideout in the past couple of years

I guarantee you,

we'll see to it that at least 'til things cool off,

at least 'til we're sure we got all those bums,

we'll see to it that you're someplace

where nobody can latch on to you.

Where you don't have to shake

like an old lady every time the phone rings

or you see a new car coming up the drive.

There are ways, Joey.

We'll change your identity, passport, everything.

A whole new life. Joey marr will disappear.

Man, don't shaft us. You're only shafting yourself.

Now you gonna make that trip

forty eight hours, that's all it takes.

Forty eight hours and it's over with. The right way.

Otherwise you're just gonna stand here and sweat it out

then go someplace and someplace after that...

Okay, crowley, okay.

Now all you gotta do is get me up there, alive.

We'll get you up there alive.

Yeah.

Pepper: I don't believe it.

Pete: What's that, pep?

That they'd do this up in headlines.

Look at the size of 'em.

Bigger than I got when I joined the department.

Looks the same to me.

Well, maybe, marr has a death wish.

Maybe they've sprung a leak.

More like a flood. Where is bill? I'm starving.

Up in the captain's office.

Pete royster, if you offer me another carrot...

No. Nectarine.

Actually, I'd rather have a bad nectarine, than a good carrot.

I'd rather have a beer at Vinnie's, if you don't mind.

Yeah, me too.

I don't get it.

Why would marr come here instead of, say, Washington?

Probably for depositions and briefing.

Or maybe they like our weather. Hmm.

Pepper: And I had two whole days coming, count 'em, two.

Pete: Well, you know how it is with wild bill crowley.

Yeah.

He should be with this group here.

This is his flight.

P. A. Announcer: Passengers from trans-Mexico airlines,

flight twenty two,

from puerto vallarta and acapulco, are now...

There he is now, Mrs. Rossi.

Hello, baby.

Cerida, how have you been?

Fine. Just fine.

Andrea, she... she missed me, huh?

-Dying to see you. -Yeah.

I dig your hat.

Oh, thank you. I just finished it last night.

Yeah.

Walyo, you been taking good care of your sister here, huh?

Hey, what are brothers in law for, walyo.

Hey, you look great. Great.

Pete: I'll get your bags.

P. A. Announcer: Passenger rossi, passenger rossi.

Will passenger rossi

please report to the trans-Mexico courtesy desk.

Who else knows our name?

Only the family. I'll check it out.

P. A. Announcer: Passenger rossi, please report

to the trans-Mexico courtesy desk.

Passenger rossi, please report...

Excuse me, I'm Mr. Rossi.

You left a pair of sunglasses on the plane, sir.

One moment, please.

No, these aren't mine.

They said they found them on your seat.

They're not mine.

Let's get out of here.

-Didn't dig that at all. -Me either.

Boy, if anybody wanted to finger you, that would've been a good way.

Well, nobody promised a fun trip for me.

Or any of us, either.

They told me you'd be a blonde.

-And? -Well, that's all they told me.

Hey, relax. It was probably just a mistake.

The guy who sat next to me on the plane, he wore dark glasses.

They could have been his, right?

Possible.

What're your names?

-I'm Pete royster. -Pete.

And your lovely wife, is pepper Anderson.

-Lieutenant. -Sergeant. Sorry.

Hey, it's all right. I still feel safe.

Ha, ha. Thanks, Joey.

Hey, "Carl." Come on, we've been married nearly six years, right?

[Thudding]

I don't see Joe.

He's been following way behind us.

Red hardtop's there, though.

Been there quite a while.

Soon as I get a chance, I think I'm gonna pull over.

[Sighs]

[Brakes screech]

Yeah, they were tailing us.

That's what I'm thinkin'.

Joe should be here in a minute or two.

I'll take a look.

Hey, I hope you're getting double time for this.

I'm not. I tell you something.

Right now, I'd settle for a regular pay check,

a Brandy and a decent night's sleep. I didn't get any last night.

You married?

[Sighs]

No.

I see.

-What does that mean? -I see.

What's I see mean? I see.

Carl, Joey, I'm gonna tell you something else.

I knew a cop, a good cop, he moved to Denver.

He became a cop there too.

He wasn't enjoying his new life

more than a month when he was killed.

Killed by one of your father's employees.

My old man got blamed for a lot of things he never did.

Yeah, well, you tell that to the cop's wife.

Was it your idea to come back up here?

I'm sorry.

I'm not supposed to discuss anything about this trip.

Where is Joe?

He might've spotted something.

He knows we'll be at the cliff restaurant.

Why don't we go eat? It's about that time.

And we're allowed.

Dessert? House specialty is homemade cheesecake

or apple pie with fresh whipped cream.

-Hmm. Anybody? -No, thanks.

Apple pie. No, we'll take the check.

-Okay. -This is on me.

-No, this is on the department. -Pete.

One of the guys over by the door.

He was at the airport.

Red hardtop?

Could-be.

Ugh. I'll be right back.

Pepper: Thank you.

Bill, it's pepper.

-Yeah, pep. Where are you? -Don't ask.

-What do you mean? -I mean it's a mess.

Like, maybe we're being followed by two men and we've lost Joe.

I don't know what's happened to him.

We've been here a half hour and he still hasn't shown.

Look, bill, I'm gonna bring him in by myself

and Pete's gonna hang back here for a couple of minutes

and see what these two guys are up to.

I got to the check-in clerk and rented a compact wagon.

That's all he had available.

It took my badge to get that but it'll be fine.

Hey, listen, pep, anything happens, you drop a dime, okay?

- I don't like the smell of it. - Okay. Bye, bye.

Yeah, bye.

Damn!

Now you really think this is necessary?

That's why I did it. That red hardtop, it bothers me.

I could be wrong but...

Oh, I bet that's not easy for you to say.

Is it ever easy for anyone?

[Explosion]

No way. Oh, no way.

I don't wanna have anything to do with that.

Bill, you're out of line.

Captain, this whole idea certainly stinks to me.

Now if it backfires a lot of my people can get hurt.

I... I just don't want any part of it.

I don't think the choice is yours, bill.

I'm beginning to wonder what the heck you

and your people are all about.

You could've told me before we went down there,

what this was all about.

Why? So you could holler no from the start.

So you could say, go down there alone?

I had a need for you.

-And I had orders... -orders.

I'm supposed to send Anderson, royster and styles

down to San Diego to pick him up.

I mean, that's great, San Diego.

You couldn't have picked a more obvious spot, right?

No.

I pick him up at the airport, we drive him up here.

And they're gonna be like sitting ducks out there.

The whole concept is stupid.

And I can't even tell my people what's going on?

Bill!

Now you've got a job to do. You get off your butt and do it.

I don't want anything to happen to her.

Well, nothing will if everyone does their job.

[Door closes]

He's worried about the girl.

Yeah.

She's a cop!

Darn it. Where's Pete?

Let's get outta here.

[Tires screeching]

[Gunshots]

Pepper: We'll never shake them in this.

Pepper: Joey, you're pretty special and they're desperate.

Marr: I know.

Marr: Make a right up here. Pepper: I'll try. Hang on.

Pepper: Oh, no. Now we've got engine trouble.

Okay. For now, those two chasing us, lost us.

They've got a problem. What do they do?

They'll phone their creeps in the city.

Tell them we're headed that way in a yellow compact.

Right.

Is there a train we could take?

Heh, you think of it, they'll think of it.

-How we doing? -Lousy.

I'm gonna need a few hours to solder that radiator.

Maybe take into the night. And then she's maybe.

Is there someplace we can stay?

Couple of blocks down, there's the seaview motel.

I'll, uh, park the car in their lot

and leave the bill at the desk. Whenever.

-Thanks. -Okay.

And if anybody asks about us, we went the other way. Okay?

Right, Mrs. Osterman.

It's okay. We're not allowed to seduce our clients.

Sure you're worried about your people, bill. It's rough.

You know what's rough about it,

the fact that this whole thing's ridiculous.

Bill, they'll be here.

[Phone rings]

-Yeah, crowley. -Hey, bill, it's me, Joe.

Joe, where the devil are ya?

I'm down here in solana at the county hospital.

-The car was blown up. -What?

Yeah, a bomb.

Look, man, pepper and the guy took off, right.

Pete ended up in it by himself.

I mean, he's here at the hospital now

with a concussion. Man, that's bad.

I mean, what's goin' on, bill? Huh?

Yeah, hang on. It's styles calling from solana.

Somebody put a bomb in pepper's car.

But...

No, Pete was in it by himself.

He's in the hospital with a severe concussion.

I'm going down there. Hey, Joe, hang on.

-I'll meet you at the hospital. -Yeah, man.

Then maybe you can tell us what the heck you got us into.

Hi, get me a chopper.

Thanks.

Well, we're in, but they only have a room off the lobby

with one double bed.

Oh, come on.

Ask the clerk. They're full up with a load of tourists.

[Sighs]

Yeah, and tomorrow they go into the city for two glorious days.

Hey, you're pretty sharp, sergeant.

They'll be watching for us in a pinto,

not with a load of tourists, right

yeah, unless they're pretty smart.

Like us.

Oh, I doubt they are.

Well, they're smart enough and you should know.

Hold it. Get frank on the phone.

You want gas?

Yeah, and I want to catch up with my friends.

Huh?

This is their car.

A couple, a man and a woman.

-They around? -No.

They happen to say where they were goin'?

No.

I asked you a question!

Can't you remember anything she said to you?

She came up to the desk, showed me her badge,

and asked me to get her a rental.

Can you remember... can you describe the car?

I never saw it. Ask Larry bates. He's the one rented it to her.

He's out for the night.

He's kind of a local swinger, but we're checking the motels.

Sergeant crowley?

You may come in now.

Woman on pa: Dr. Granville, please call the operator.

-Say, boy. -The dynamic duo.

It's a heck of a way to treat your friends.

If you wanted a vacation, why didn't you ask for it?

How're you feelin', man?

Put me on my feet, I can take 'em.

That's what comes from drinkin' too much carrot juice.

The bomb was in the trunk or you'd of had it.

Marr was in the back seat.

-You're lucky, man. -Lucky. Hmm.

Some lucky.

Well, look at it this way, you could've broken your nose.

Hmm. Look who's talkin'.

[Both chuckle]

Pete: How's pep doin'?

Well, we don't know yet, Pete.

They're ready with your call, sergeant.

- You can take it right there. - Okay. Thank you.

Hello, Landon crowley.

Yeah, you heard. Okay.

Wait a minute, man. Wait a... wait a... wait a minute.

Now you listen to me. Now, I...

All right, you've got a report on your desk,

well, I've got a blown up man here

and I got sergeant Anderson missing.

Now, I want your permission...

I got your hat in the trunk

and a t-bone in the glove compartment.

Hmm. How about a drink?

How're they treatin' ya?

Landon, I'm telling you something.

Now, as soon as they pick up Anderson and marr,

I want 'em put in a safe place.

Are you gettin' my message? All right.

It's really good to see ya.

How long does it take you guys

to find one lousy guy who rents cars?

Marr: You don't have to do that.

Well, it helps me not to think too much.

Your conservative side?

[Speaking in foreign language]

I'm a man of many moods.

You wanna flip for the bed

heads. I just won.

[Laughs]

Well, the couch doesn't look all that bad.

Why did you become a cop?

Maybe because I always dreamed of spending the night

in a tacky motel with Joey marr.

Hey, it's just as big a surprise to me.

Seriously.

Seriously what?

Why did you become a cop?

Well, I was a model, pretty good pay.

But it got to be a drag.

Now, I'm a cop.

And the pay's not as good, but I feel better.

"Pepper." is that a nickname?

What's your real name?

Liane.

"Liane." nice. That's a pretty name.

-Monique's pretty, too. -Hmmm?

Oh, my wife. We're separated.

I know.

You know, huh?

What else do you know about me?

Well, you're pretty smart. You got good grades in college

but you never really worked a day in your life.

You have a daughter and you love her very much.

But that doesn't stop you from swinging with other women,

being gone all the time, Hawaii, Europe.

Even when you were living with her mother.

Uh-huh. And what else?

[Sighs]

I think it's time I do some scouting.

What's wrong?

I think I'll play it safe.

Yeah, this one...

[Laughs]

[♪♪♪]

Hey, lady, excuse me.

That's all right. Straight Tequila, please.

And two margaritas on the rocks, to go.

One for my dumb husband.

He's in a flap 'cause our car broke down.

Oh, that's tough.

[Chuckles]

You don't know how tough. You don't live with him.

[Laughs]

One of those, huh?

Cheers.

Hey, you must be with that bus tour.

-Yeah. -Heh.

-What a thrill. -Yeah.

I don't suppose we can hitch a ride with ya into the city.

[Both laugh]

Gee, I'd sure like to have you with me, honey,

but, you know, the company's got rules about that stuff.

Oh.

-You live by the rules. -Sometimes.

I don't.

Not when I see something I like. Do you?

[Laughs]

It's like I said, sometimes.

-My name's Eve. -Eve.

[Chuckles]

As in Adam, osterman.

I'm in the book, in town...

If I ever get there.

Oh, you're gonna get there, honey.

Oh, sure, sure, sure.

I'll drive ya.

-Yeah? -Yeah.

-Really? -Yeah.

Hey, look, after what's-his-face is asleep,

would ya want to phone me?

What's your room number?

Uh...

Don't count on it, Ernie.

Most of the room phones ain't workin'

because of the storm last night.

Well, I'd better get these in to him before he has another fit.

Call you later.

Yeah.

Twenty four.

Excuse me. I'm Mrs. Osterman.

If anybody asks for us, you never saw us. Okay?

Two, uh, gentlemen just did.

Yeah. Uh-huh

right. Well, they're on the first floor.

We'll do it, but it could get kind of messy.

No, windows are out.

We'll have to kick down the door. Okay.

Good idea. That's no problem.

Yeah. Why not?

It's his last night.

All right.

[Knock on the door]

Yeah?

Pepper: I can't open the door.

Ugh, they're here.

You knew they'd show. That's why we're here this place.

Desk clerk: Office, may I help you?

I'd like to place a call to Los Angeles.

Sorry, ma'am. The electrical storm last night

threw our switch board out of service.

The phone company's working on it.

We expect to resume service any time now.

Damn, he was right.

Do you want a Margarita? I could sure use one.

Thanks. Hey, relax.

They'll probably wait 'til morning when we're out of here.

If we make it 'til morning.

We're set with the tour but to get past them

we're gonna have to look as different as possible.

I'm all set with this. How do you look without a suit?

Hey. If you want me to undress you just have to ask.

I'm asking.

Okay. How's this? Uh, touristy enough?

Oh, come on, Joey. You're not in Hawaii.

What about... hey. Let's try this hat.

Ugh, no.

Hey, that's my best hat.

-Do you mind? -Be my guest.

- Oh, I don't know. - Hey, don't stop. I love it.

I think I'll take you to Hawaii with me. How about that?

[Sighs]

Now, if I could just cover up that scar...

So you're not Joey marr.

Who are you?

Carl rossi, that's my real name.

And who's Carl rossi?

He works internal affairs in the valley.

And he knows as much about this as you do.

They picked me because I look like Joey marr,

they say I even talk like him.

I was the logical choice.

[Sighs]

This is terrific. Huh.

I mean, we really put one over on them, didn't we?

They're not gonna kill Joey marr.

They're just gonna kill two dumb cops.

[Sighs]

[Chuckles]

Anybody check out?

No, sir.

Is there a back way out?

No.

When are they bringing the real one in?

-I don't know. -I do.

When they hear you're back in town.

-Or... -Dead?

It's an important trial. He's an important witness.

Nobody's gonna die.

And I am very, very hungry.

So, how's this for room service, huh?

Oh. Uh...

Which one's the pate? I hate pate.

Well, that's pate. That's caviar.

And if madame prefers, a little Bismarck herring.

Uh, anything with rum?

- But, of course, the rum. - Save that one for me.

I remember my first vacation when I was a kid.

We went up to the catskills.

-You from New York? -Brooklyn.

Hey, you're supposed to say "rah".

Rah. Well, you just don't seem like you're from Brooklyn.

My folks split. I grew up in Tucson.

Oh.

Anyway, we stayed at this boarding house

called sicilian heaven. Can you believe it?

[Laughs]

Sicilian heaven? You've gotta be kidding.

They had a swimming pool with this raunchy water,

and for breakfast they gave you a dried grapefruit half,

and what was supposed to be an egg.

And it rained every other day.

My old man, he'd keep poking us kids and he'd say,

"hey, it's costin' me 25 bucks a head a week, so look happy!

Here's a dime for a cup of spumoni!" My old man.

[Laughs]

That reminds me of my first vacation.

It was just about as bad as that.

I mean, everything went wrong. Absolutely everything.

Except one day we went for a walk in the woods,

and I got lost, absolutely lost.

I was gone, I don't know, two hours, maybe three,

I don't know, six, ten. I was little.

I wouldn'1 lie about my age.

And I just received my first communion

about three weeks before, so I said every prayer I knew.

I prayed like hell.

And, all of a sudden, I wasn't afraid anymore.

And I felt safe.

I felt protected and the whole thing,

it was... it was just beautiful.

You're beautiful.

[Sighs]

-Hi. -Hi.

Pete: Hmm.

You know, this ain't half bad.

You ought to try getting yourself blown up, bill.

Thanks. I'll try it.

I told them I didn't want any meat.

Why doesn't anybody ever listen?

Thanks.

-I'll try it. -[Knock on door]

-Is this him? -Right.

Where the hell you been all night?

I was at a friend's house. Is there any law against that?

Look, yesterday you rented a car to a policewoman.

Can you describe that car to us?

Uh, yeah, it was a '72 pinto wagon. It was yellow.

License number was, uh, 207 bak.

I know the damned thing was banged up but...

Can you get an all points bulletin out on this thing?

Right away.

Hey, it was in good renting condition...

Joe, let's go.

Pete, we're taking the chopper back. We'll phone in.

I thank you a lot.

Keep the coffee cold, will you?

Man: All right, let's go. Let's go. We got a long way to go, folks.

Come on, let's move it right along here, get on the bus.

We move out just as soon as everybody's here.

Where is everybody?

Ladies, ladies, uh,

we'll look at the ocean later, all right?

Let's all just get on the bus now

and we'll get out of here real quick.

That's it, right on the bus.

Okay, let's move it, folks. Where is everybody?

I still think it's a great hat.

I like it.

Hey, if we're half lucky, we got a great shot at it.

[Knocking on door]

Pepper: Hey, listen.

Cop or no cop, you're who they want. Cross your fingers.

No fighting today.

Now, Debbie, stop crying. I've explained to you, darling.

We have to leave and...

I'm not in the mood for that today...

Stay behind. Oh, excuse me, excuse me.

Would you please carry her to the bus for me?

[Sighs]

I'm sorry, lady. I don't think that would be a good idea.

Hey, that's a great hat you've got there.

It's okay to leave now, folks. Let's go.

Boys! Boys, get behind me. And stay with me.

All right, troops. We're moving out. Let's go now.

Don't bother to check out. Everything's taken care of.

You got everything? Have you got everything?

All right, let's go, gang. Let's move it.

[Chattering]

All right, come on, gang, let's go.

How much coffee can you drink anyway?

It's a beautiful day, we're wastin' it.

All right, let's move it. Good morning. Hey, way to go.

Best group I ever had.

All right. That's everybody, right?

That's everybody. Okay, let's go. We're movin' out, gang.

Okay, keep movin' keep movin'.

Don't put anybody's eye out with that thing.

Now, watch it, kids. All right, here we go. Watch your step.

All right.

We'll, uh... we'll talk later, okay?

At last. Cross your fingers.

Cops out there checking out that pinto.

We can't wait.

The blonde woman

and the man with the dark glasses, wasn't it?

Room 123.

They're not there.

-They check out? -No, sir.

-Anybody check out? -Not yet.

Except glory tours, of course. They always leave early.

C.c.s., styles. Oh, yeah, hold it just a minute.

Hey, bill. Bailey, seaview police.

Yeah, cap, What've you got?

Wha... they found the pinto.

No, I'm here. Yeah?

Yeah, I see.

Safest way, yeah.

Yeah, that's possible.

What route does it take?

-Okay. Right. Let's go. -Where to?

Bill: We're gonna meet us a bus.

Hey, you're not allowed to do that on duty.

-Do what? -Daydream.

-Sue me. -You'll be sorry.

I know some of the best law firms in town.

Really? Well?

What?

Aren't you gonna ask me what I was thinking about?

No. I know.

You're something else.

Okay, folks. Ten minute rest stop. Souvenirs. Sandwiches.

Goodies for the kids. Keep an eye on the kids, now.

Would you like some ice-cream? I'm gonna phone in.

I'll hold the fort.

Hey, you seen my gun, mister?

Your gun? No, no, kid. I'm sorry.

Ernie? Is there a phone around here?

There sure is, honey. Right in the coffee shop, there.

Thank you.

Okay. Come on, let's move it. Come on, kids.

Don't get lost now.

Joey.

Ciao, bum.

[Muffled gunshots]

Carl, come on, let's get off.

Crowley's on his way up. I hope you like vanilla...

Carl!

Carl!

[Crying]

Why?

Why is he dead? What for?

For your lousy Joey marr?

To get your lousy Joey marr up here?

So those lousy freaks could tail us? Is that it?

Except marr isn't here, pep.

He was never even coming here.

What?

They wanted him in Washington for a couple of days to talk.

They were afraid their plan might leak out

so they asked us to help divert it.

Divert it?

That was our job and we did it.

Oh, and it all worked out fine.

Except peté's all busted up and a man is dead, a good man.

Bill: Yeah, okay.

Let me know, will ya? Right.

Here's the Vegas file, bill.

-This might do it. -Thanks, honey.

We know they operate out of Vegas, so gotta be in here.

Pick 'em out, huh?

They think they got marr. They're gonna be headin' home.

When's the next flight out?

About 45 minutes.

Huh?

That's one of them.

Bruno losso. Aka Benny leavitt.
