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

FINE. THANK YOU.

DID YOU KNOW THAT JESUS LOVES YOU?

YES, I DO.

THAT'S WONDERFUL. WELL, THEN,

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

I'M REALLY BUSY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

IT REALLY WOULD BE WORTH YOUR WHILE.

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

JUST DON'T MAKE ANY SOUNDS

AND DON'T DO ANYTHING THAT WOULD UPSET ME,

AND RUIN MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT.

JUST PUT THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION

AND BACK OUT.

I KEEP TELLIN' YOU, HOOKER,

YOUR CAR IS A CERTIFIED CLUNKER.

YOU NEED TO TRADE IT BEFORE IT DIES UNDER YOU.

THE LAST FEW DAYS OF THE MONTH,

THE CAR SALESMEN WHO HAVEN'T MET THEIR QUOTAS

WILL BE RIPE FOR THAT LAST SALE OR 2.

RIPE?

WE PICK A SLOW DAY, JUST BEFORE CLOSING.

EMPTY SHOWROOM IS A GOOD SIGN.

ARE WE BUYING A CAR OR WE HOLDING THEM UP?

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

AND YOU'RE MAKIN' LIGHT.

LIFETIME?

MY TIRES ARE OLDER THAN YOU, JUNIOR.

UNITS IN THE VICINITY OF 4-ADAM-30...

THEY'RE PLAYIN' OUR SONG.

A POSSIBLE ATTACK IN PROGRESS, AT THE PARKING LOT,

422 NORTH PINE.

4-ADAM-30, BE ADVISED

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

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

YOU GOT IT.

MY GOODNESS,

SOMETHING MUST'VE HAPPENED OVER THERE.

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

HERE COMES OUR BUS.

RELAX, LADY, RELAX.

STAND BACK, PLEASE. GIVE HER SOME AIR.

PLEASE STAND BACK.

I WAS DELIVERING MAIL.

I THOUGHT IT WAS SOME KIND OF DOMESTIC FIGHT.

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

DID YOU SEE WHICH WAY THE SUSPECT WENT?

NO. I JUST SAW THEM SITTIN' IN THE CAR

AND HE HIT HER A COUPLE OF TIMES.

HE... HE... HE... HE...

GET THAT CAMERA OUT OF HERE, PLEASE!

TRACY HILL, CHANNEL 6 NEWS.

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

BACK OFF, MISTER. EXCUSE ME, PLEASE.

HE... HE BEAT ME, THEN HE ROBBED ME.

AND THEN HE SAID,

"THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

GOD LOVES YOU."

AND THEN HE HANDED ME THAT.

JUST RELAX, LADY.

HELP IS ON ITS WAY.

ANOTHER BIBLE. IT'S HIM.

SERGEANT, IS THIS ANOTHER ATTACK BY THE BIBLE MUGGER?

UH, NO COMMENT.

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

IT'S NO COMMENT AND NO PROGRESS.

WOULD YOU GET THAT CAMERA OUT OF HERE?

EDDIE, YOU KEEP ROLLING.

THIS WOMAN HAS BEEN BRUTALLY BEATEN,

YOU FOUND A BIBLE WHICH IS THE SIGNATURE

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

I SAID GET THAT CAMERA OUT OF MY FACE!

ALL RIGHT, EDDIE. PULL THE PLUG.

I DON'T THINK HE LIKES US MUCH.

WITH YOU, THAT'S UNDERSTANDABLE.

ME, I'LL GROW ON HIM.

OK.

I DON'T GET IT, HOOKER.

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

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

AH, YOU FIGURE IT OUT.

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

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

THEN LEAVES 'EM A BIBLE.

ALL IN THE NAME OF GOD.

TALK ABOUT WEIRD.

FREAK CITY.

LET'S GET THIS CREEP OFF THE STREETS

AND THEN LET THE DOCTORS FIGURE IT OUT.

CAN I TALK TO YOU A MINUTE?

THERE HAVE BEEN 4 ATTACKS ON WOMEN IN YOUR PRECINCT

BY SOME PSYCHO WHO LEAVES BIBLES BEHIND.

YOU HAVE AN M.O.

AND YOU HAVE A DESCRIPTION FROM EACH OF THE VICTIMS.

SO WHAT EXACTLY IS HAPPENING WITH THIS CASE?

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

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

OH, THAT'D BE SUPER.

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

WHAT COULD BE THE CORE OF OUR DOCUMENTARY.

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

ON A REGULAR WATCH.

I DON'T SEE ANY PROBLEM WITH THAT.

OH, GOOD. GOOD.

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

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

THE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S PUBLIC RELATIONS EXPERTS.

I RECALL A CONTROVERSY

WHEN SGT. HOOKER WAS DISCIPLINED

FOR A SHOOTING INCIDENT.

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

A MEDAL OF VALOR

AND AN IMPRESSIVE LIST OF COMMENDATIONS.

BELIEVE ME, YOU'D BE WASTING YOUR TIME.

CAPTAIN,

WE'RE SHOOTING AN HOUR OF TAPE.

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

IT CAN'T BE ALL YOU.

HOOKER, ROMANO!

COME HERE.

SGT. HOOKER, OFF. ROMANO, TRACY HILL.

WE'VE MET.

YES, WE HAVE.

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

I JUST HAVE THIS NATURAL INSTINCT FOR FISHING.

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

SEE WHAT I MEAN? YEAH.

DON'T MIND MY PARTNER, MISS HILL.

I CAUGHT THAT PIECE YOU DID ON YOUTH GANGS.

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

WHY, THANK YOU.

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

YEAH? YOU GONNA MAKE US STARS?

WELL, COULD BE.

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

THAT SGT. HOOKER TAUGHT AT THE ACADEMY?

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

LIVING AT THE ACADEMY BARRACKS

TILL I PUT IN ENOUGH DUTY FOR GRADUATION.

YOU SEE. THAT'S PERFECT.

I CAN USE ALL OF THAT IN MY STORY.

WHAT ARE WE TALKIN' ABOUT HERE, CAPTAIN?

MISS HILL IS DOING A NEWS DOCUMENTARY.

SHE'LL BE RIDING WITH YOU AND ROMANO TOMORROW.

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

WITHOUT BEING ANCHORED WITH SOME NEWS HEN. NO OFFENSE.

I'LL BET.

OH, THIS WAS APPROVED DOWNTOWN.

YOU'RE BEING TOLD, HOOKER, NOT ASKED.

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

YOU KNOW, IF YOU'LL JUST COOPERATE,

LIFE COULD BE A LOT EASIER.

YOUR LIFE. NOT MINE.

WHEN WE HIT THOSE STREETS, MISS HILL,

IT'S REAL AND IT'S ROUGH.

NOT SOME T.V. ROAD SHOW.

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

WELL, IF I EVER REALLY GET TO KNOW HIM,

I'LL BE SURE TO LET YOU KNOW.

GOOD NIGHT, SUSY.

SEE YOU TOMORROW.

OH, NOT THE BATTERY AGAIN.

CAN I HELP YOU?

NEWS LADY COMES IN.

THERE YOU GO, HOOKER.

WHAT NO DATE TONIGHT, ROMANO?

SHE'S DUE ANY MINUTE.

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

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

YOUR LITTLE BIT OF HEAVEN JUST GLIDED THROUGH THE DOOR.

UH, I'LL BE IN MY PRIVATE BOOTH.

LISTEN, IF I HAVE TO SPLIT,

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

LIKE ME. AFTER A LITTLE OIL, SMOOTH.

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

MELVIN?

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

I DON'T WANNA BE FIXED UP.

TRUST ME, PARTNER. TRUST ME.

HI, VINCE. AM I LATE?

NOT AT ALL. STEP INTO MY PRIVATE BOOTH.

SHERRY, HIT ME AGAIN.

MAKE IT 2.

THAT STOOL'S SPOKEN FOR.

WELL, HELLO TO YOU TOO, HOOKER.

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

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

I'M INTERESTED IN THIS MUGGER CASE.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT IT?

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

THANK YOU.

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

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

WELL, HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT I'M NOT

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

IT'S THE MEDIA, RIGHT?

YOU DON'T THINK IT'S RELIABLE?

HMM.

IT'S RELIABLE, OH, TOO RELIABLE.

NUMBINGLY PREDICTABLE.

PREDICTABLE?

SURE.

AS SOON AS THE LATEST AXE MURDERER IS CAPTURED,

A SWARM OF REPORTERS CONVERGES ON THE NEIGHBORS,

THE MILKMAN, ASSORTED DISTANT RELATIVES.

"YOU KNEW HIM, WHAT WAS HE LIKE?"

AND THE NEIGHBOR,

WHO'S FLATTERED TO BE INTERVIEWED, SAYS,

"OH, HE WAS A REGULAR FELLA.

"HE HAD A SMILE ON HIS FACE FOR EVERYBODY.

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

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

UNDER A LOT OF PRESSURE.

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

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

BUT IT WAS NOT BY ME.

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

YOU'RE RIDING WITH US.

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

YOU KNOW, I CAN READ YOU LIKE A BOOK.

YEAH?

YEAH.

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

SAME STOOL BECAUSE YOU'RE SUPERSTITIOUS.

A DOUBLE BECAUSE IT GETS YOU THERE FASTER

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

BORN AND RAISED WITHIN 10 MILES OF THE PRECINCT,

BUT YOU STILL DON'T HAVE ANY ROOTS,

AND ALL YOUR FRIENDS ARE COPS

BECAUSE YOU DON'T TRUST ANYBODY ELSE.

AND YOU'RE CLOSER TO YOUR PARTNER

THAN YOU WILL BE TO ANY WOMAN EVER.

DIVORCED,

PROBABLY BECAUSE THE WOMAN COULDN'T HANDLE

STANDING IN LINE 2ND TO THE DEPARTMENT,

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

TELLING HER THAT YOU'VE BEEN BLOWN AWAY.

HOW AM I DOING SO FAR?

FAIR.

FAIR? JUST FAIR?

MY BATTING AVERAGE IS USUALLY HIGHER THAN THAT.

FAIR...

FOR A GIRL FROM CINCINNATI, OR IS IT CLEVELAND?

NO MATTER.

WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS YOU MADE IT

FROM THE SMALL TOWN TO THE BIG TIME,

CHALKED UP SOME IMPRESSIVE CREDITS,

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

YOU'RE A FEMINIST, BUT A REALIST.

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

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

A GOOD YEAR.

YOU'RE SINGLE,

BUT YOU LIVE ALONE BECAUSE RELATIONSHIPS

CAN GET IN THE WAY OF A CAREER.

WATCH BARBARA WALTERS' TAPES EVERY WEEKEND,

RELIGIOUSLY SEND YOUR PRESS CLIPPINGS HOME

TO MOM AND DAD AND THE 2 SISTERS,

AND YOU KNOW THAT A STORY ABOUT COPS WOULD BE DYNAMITE

BECAUSE IT'S HIGH DRAMA, LIFE AND DEATH,

RATING POINTS.

EXCUSE ME.

I GOTTA GET GOING.

I DON'T WANNA MISS THE BALLGAME...

ON RADIO.

HOOKER,

IT'S ST. LOUIS.

AND IT'S ONE BROTHER AND ONE SISTER.

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

I'VE SEEN TOO MUCH LIFE AND DEATH,

TOO MANY ALCOHOLIC COPS BECAUSE THEY'RE SHAKING INSIDE,

TOO MANY DIVORCES AND SUICIDES BECAUSE OF STRESS.

TOO MANY GOOD MEN GIVEN A COP'S FUNERAL

BECAUSE SOME UNFEELING, UNTHINKING SCUM

PULLS A TRIGGER ON 'EM.

SMOOTH.

ZABROWSKI.

HOOKER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ANOTHER ONE, HOOKER.

JUST LIKE THE ONE YOU AND ROMANO FOUND.

BIBLE LAID NEXT TO HER ON THE SEAT.

ANYBODY SEE THE SUSPECT?

JUST HER.

MALE CAUCASIAN, BLOND HAIR,

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

APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE, DISAPPEARED THE SAME WAY.

A YELLOW WINDBREAKER.

WHAT?

I THINK I JUST SAW HIM AT THE BUS STAND!

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

HOLD IT THERE!

HALT! POLICE!

YES, THAT'S HIM. THAT'S THE MAN.

ARE YOU SURE, MISS THOMAS?

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

I'M POSITIVE.

HOOKER?

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

AND LOST.

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

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

STEP OVER HERE. COME ON.

HOW ABOUT THE BIBLE, JACKSON?

JUST THE SAME AS BEFORE, SIR.

PARTIAL PRINTS, NOTHING WE COULD I.D.

WHAT ABOUT THE PUBLISHER?

WHERE, HOW WAS IT PURCHASED?

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

I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING BUT THE LICENSE NUMBER ON THE CAB

THE SUSPECT TOOK OFF IN.

THE CAB COMPANY DISPATCHER SAID THAT NONE OF HIS CABS

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

COOL IT, JACKSON.

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

AND ALL THE PARTICULARS

AND I WANT IT DISTRIBUTED TO ALL UNITS IMMEDIATELY.

YES, SIR.

HOOKER. YES, SIR.

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

YES, SIR.

ONE OF MICKEY'S HANDS MUST BE SLOW.

SERGEANT, COULD I GET A COPY OF THAT COMPOSITE?

OH, THE COMPOSITE IS GIVEN OUT BY DIVISION,

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

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

NOT ALL OF IT, MISS HILL.

NOT ALL OF IT.

ROMANO, WAS THAT A COMPLIMENT,

OR JUST A CHAUVINIST DIG?

I'M NOT SURE.

BUT HOOKER IS AN ACKNOWLEDGED EXPERT

ON, UH, EQUIPMENT.

WHAT ABOUT THIS BIBLE MUGGER

WHO'S BEEN TERRORIZING THIS CITY?

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

YOU MEAN HIS PSYCHOLOGICAL MOTIVATION,

HIS SOCIOPATHIC PATTERNS,

HIS MESSED UP CHILDHOOD,

WHETHER OR NOT HE RESENTED HIS MOTHER?

THEN YOU DON'T AGREE WITH THE PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE

THAT WAS DRAWN UP BY THE DETECTIVES?

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

BUT MOST PERPETRATORS DO WHAT THEY DO

BECAUSE THEY HATE, THEY WANT.

THEY DO THINGS TO OTHER PEOPLE

BECAUSE IT'S EASIER TO ROB THEM

THAN IT IS TO WORK.

4-ADAM-30, 4-ADAM-30.

SEE THE MAN, 686 LONGVIEW, RIDGEWOOD CLEANERS,

REGARDING AN ABANDONED VEHICLE.

4 ADAM 30, ROGER.

HOOKER, THIS CAR'S BEEN HERE

SINCE THE DAY THAT WOMAN WAS ATTACKED.

I DIDN'T WANT TO BOTHER YOU WITH IT,

BUT WHEN I THOUGHT ABOUT THIS MUGGER,

HOW HE APPEARS OUT OF NOWHERE

AND THEN HE DISAPPEARS WITHOUT A TRACE...

YOU DID THE RIGHT THING, JOE. THANK YOU.

DON'T TOUCH IT!

IT'S LOCKED OVER HERE.

WELL, IT'S UNLOCKED HERE,

BUT WE DON'T GO IN.

WHY? NO WARRANT.

DOES THAT UPSET YOU?

IT'S THE LAW.

I MEAN, DOES IT BOTHER YOU

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

AND YOU LOST HIM?

NOW, THERE MAY BE A CLUE IN THIS CAR,

BUT THE DETECTIVES TAKE OVER. THEY GET THE GLORY,

YOU GET THE STREETS.

YOU WRITING A BOOK?

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

4-ADAM-30, ROGER.

VEHICLE IS REGISTERED TO DIXSON RENT-A-CAR.

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

HE RAN IT DOWN WITH DIXSON.

THE GUY WHO TOOK IT, NEVER RETURNED IT.

FITS OUR COMPOSITE LIKE A GLOVE.

NAME AND ADDRESS?

BERT CLARK.

HE SHOWED AN ARIZONA LICENSE AND A PHOENIX ADDRESS.

THE BIBLES WERE PURCHASED IN PHOENIX.

YEAH.

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

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

HOW CAN YOU BE SURE?

ON THE FLOOR IN THE REAR,

THERE'S A BIBLE.

MAY GOD FORGIVE THEM THEIR SINS,

THEIR EVIL WAYS.

MAY GOD FORGIVE THEM.

THY WILL BE DONE.

THERE YOU GO, OFF. WALKER.

YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN THINKIN',

YOU SAW THE SUSPECT AT THE BUS STOP

THEN HE SPLIT IN A CAB.

MAYBE THAT'S PART OF HIS M.O.

I WANT TO TALK TO THE CAB COMPANY,

FIND OUT WHY JACKSON STRUCK OUT.

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

EXCUSE ME.

THANK YOU.

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

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

MAYBE YOU SHOULD.

HEY, LADY, I'M A GARBAGE COLLECTOR.

I COLLECT IT AND I DUMP IT.

I FILE MY REPORT AND I NEVER LOOK BACK.

I DON'T BELIEVE A WORD OF THAT,

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

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

WHAT'S YOUR NEXT STEP?

THE NEXT STEP, LUNCH.

GOOD IDEA.

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

OH, GOOD.

WHERE'RE WE EATING? ACROSS THE STREET.

GREAT SUSHI JOINT.

OH. OOH, GOOD. SUSHI.

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

HOOKER!

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

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

IT'S NOT ENOUGH! I WANT MORE!

TRY THE SQUID.

HOOKER! HOOKER!

OK.

HI.

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

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

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

OH, I'M SORRY,

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

JUST CALM DOWN AND DON'T MAKE ANY LOUD NOISES

OR I'LL BE FORCED TO USE THIS KNIFE.

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

COME ON. COME ON, LADY.

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

CLOSE THE DOOR, PLEASE.

DON'T USE IT.

VERY GOOD. VERY GOOD.

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

MY... MY MEDICINE.

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

YOUR PILLS, OF COURSE.

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

MY PILLS.

DO YOU SEE THIS BIBLE?

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

MY PILLS.

THAT'S SATAN'S WAY!

LADY, ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?

LADY!

HEY, WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?

UH, BILLY MARKS?

YEAH?

SGT. HOOKER. THIS IS OFF. ROMANO.

SO?

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

THE NIGHT THAT WOMAN WAS ASSAULTED.

HEY, MAN, I ALREADY TALKED TO THE DETECTIVES.

I TOLD THEM I WAS NOWHERE NEAR THAT SECTION.

YOU HAD A FARE YOU DELIVERED 2 BLOCKS FROM THERE

A HALF HOUR BEFORE THE ATTACK.

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

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

AND I THINK YOU HAD A FEW BELTS,

YOU PULLED OVER NEXT TO THE CONSTRUCTION SITE

AND GRABBED A FEW Zs.

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

I SAW A CAPITOL CAB

TAKE A SUSPECT AWAY FROM THAT SITE,

AND I'M LAYING MONEY

THAT YOU WERE THE DRIVER. I REMEMBER YOU NOW.

8, 9 YEARS AGO,

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

I DID MY TIME. I'M CLEAN.

YOU GIVE IT TO ME, BILLY,

AND YOU GIVE IT TO ME STRAIGHT,

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

TILL YOU LOSE YOUR HACK LICENSE FOR GOOD.

LOOK, I'M BEHIND IN MY PAYMENTS.

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

10:25.

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

BUT ACTUALLY YOU'RE HIBERNATING AT THE CONSTRUCTION SITE.

THIS MAN COMES OVER THE FENCE.

HE'S IN THE YELLOW WINDBREAKER

AND YOU TAKE HIM FOR A FARE.

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

AND ANOTHER C-NOTE TO KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT

AFTER I LET HIM OFF.

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

DON'T YOU READ THE PAPERS?

LIKE I SAID, I NEEDED THE BREAD.

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

AND NOT AT THE AIRPORT.

WHERE'D YOU LET HIM OFF?

A BUS STOP.

CORNER OF 8TH, AND BROADWAY.

THIS IS WHERE I FIRST SAW THE SUSPECT.

THE SAME "B" BUS LINE

RUNS RIGHT PAST THE SHOPPING CENTER

WHERE THAT WOMAN WAS ATTACKED.

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

YEAH. I HAD TO TAKE IT EVERYDAY

WHEN MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT.

YEAH, WELL, MELVIN WILL TAKE CARE OF THAT.

TOLD HIM WE'D BE BY TOMORROW.

IS HE ALSO GONNA PAY MY ALIMONY

WHEN I BLOW IT ON A FOUR ON THE FLOOR?

RELAX. EASY PAYMENT PLAN.

RIGHT.

OUR MAN LIKES THE "B" BUS.

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

I WONDER WHAT'S GOING DOWN?

I DON'T KNOW. LET'S TAKE A LOOK.

WHAT'VE YOU GOT?

IT LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER BIBLE JOB.

ONLY THIS TIME IT WENT TOO FAR.

IS SHE DEAD?

THE PILL CONTAINER ON THE FLOOR IS LABELLED DIGITALIS.

NOW, IT APPEARS THAT SHE HAD A HEART ATTACK

AND COULDN'T GET TO THE PILLS.

THEN IT'S MURDER.

WHO SAID BLUESUITS ARE DUMB?

DID YOU GET ANY WORD FROM PHOENIX ON THOSE BIBLES?

2 DOZEN OF 'EM WERE SHIPPED LAST JUNE

TO A BERT CLARK

AT A POST OFFICE BOX IN SKY VISTA.

WHERE'S YOUR T.V. PAL, HOOKER?

THE ONE WITH THE LEGS AND THE FAST MOUTH.

YOU GOT SOMETHIN' AGAINST LEGS?

SHE'S BEEN PUMPING US FOR DAYS

ABOUT THE MUGGER CASE.

IF SHE GETS A CHANCE,

I THINK SHE'S GONNA DO A HATCHET JOB

ON WHOEVER'S WITHIN STRIKING DISTANCE.

LET'S GO.

SO WHILE THE CITY REMAINS TERRORIZED,

WHILE THE LATEST MUGGING HAS CULMINATED IN DEATH

TO ITS HELPLESS FEMALE VICTIM,

WE STILL HAVE SOME OLD LINE COPS

WHO WORK IN AN ANTIQUATED FASHION.

THIS IS SGT. T.J. HOOKER,

THE OFFICER WHO PURSUED AND LOST THE MUGGER.

YOU MEAN, HIS PSYCHOLOGICAL MOTIVATION,

HIS SOCIOPATHIC PATTERNS,

HIS MESSED UP CHILDHOOD,

WHETHER OR NOT HE RESENTED HIS MOTHER?

THEN YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN THE PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE

THAT WAS DRAWN UP BY THE DETECTIVES?

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

BUT MOST PERPETRATORS DO WHAT THEY DO BECAUSE THEY HATE,

THEY WANT.

THEY DO THINGS TO OTHER PEOPLE

BECAUSE IT'S EASIER TO... TO ROB THEM

THAN IT IS TO WORK.

THAT'S A WONDERFUL TOUGH LAW AND ORDER SPEECH.

BUT IT'S JUST MORE WORDS.

AND AS YOU AND YOUR COHORTS

CONTINUE TO FUMBLE THIS MUGGER CASE,

WE HAVE LEARNED EXCLUSIVELY

THAT FINGERPRINTS LIFTED FROM ONE OF THE RENTAL CARS

FOUND ABANDONED IDENTIFY AN ARLAN WILLIAMS

ALIAS BERT CLARK, OF PHOENIX ARIZONA,

AS A PRIME SUSPECT.

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

WHY DON'T YOU ASK HOOKER?

WE'VE ALSO LEARNED THAT WILLIAMS,

FOUND NOT GUILTY BY REASON OF INSANITY

IN SEVERAL BRUTAL ASSAULTS ON PHOENIX WOMEN,

HAD BEEN CONFINED AT PHOENIX MENTAL HOSPITAL

BEFORE BEING RELEASED IN AN OUTPATIENT TREATMENT PROGRAM.

THAT-THAT'S WRONG!

THEY WERE THE CRAZY ONES!

AND, NOW, OUR SPECIAL IN STUDIO GUEST,

HERE TO DISCUSS THIS CASE, DR. WALTER FORBES.

CAN YOU GIVE US A PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE

FOR THIS BIBLE MUGGER?

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

HOWEVER, I CAN MAKE SOME EDUCATED SPECULATIONS.

HE'S PROBABLY A VERY INSECURE MAN,

THOUGH SELF-ESTEEMED.

HE TRIES TO COMPENSATE FOR THIS BY BECOMING CLOSE

TO A STRONG, POWERFUL BEING, LIKE GOD.

AND THE BIBLE, WHAT ABOUT THAT?

WELL, HE... HE LEAVES THE BIBLE

AS A SYMBOL OF BOTH HIS, UH, RELIGION

AND HIS, UH, CHALLENGING REQUEST

FOR THE POLICE TO STOP HIM.

AND SO SGT. HOOKER,

IN SPITE OF YOUR EVALUATION,

WE HAVE A SOCIOPATHIC, SICK PERSON

WALKING THE STREETS.

THIS IS TRACY HILL, CHANNEL 6 NEWS.

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

THAT'S IT. THANK YOU.

HELLO. TRACY HILL.

MISS HILL, IS THIS REALLY YOU?

YES, IT IS. WHO'S THIS?

MISS HILL, THIS IS ARLAN WILLIAMS.

I'VE BEEN WATCHING YOU ON THE TELEVISION

AND I THINK YOU MISUNDERSTAND MY WORK.

I THINK YOU'RE SUCH A FINE REPORTER

THAT IN ORDER TO TELL MY STORY PROPERLY

YOU SHOULD REALLY KNOW THE TRUTH.

I THINK WE SHOULD TALK.

YES. I'M LISTENING. GO AHEAD.

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

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID.

THERE IS A PHONE BOOTH

ON THE CORNER OF 8TH AND MAPLE.

I HAVE THE NUMBER.

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

I'LL BE THERE.

EDDIE? YEAH.

GOOD, YOU CAN HELP ME.

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

AND THE ART DEPARTMENT, TELL 'EM TO MAKE BLOWUPS

OF EVERYTHING WE'VE GOT ON WILLIAMS.

HIS PSYCHIATRIC FILE, EVERYTHING, THE WORKS.

YOU GOT SOMETHING HOT? YEAH, SIZZLIN'.

I'LL SEE YA LATER.

YOU HERE TO GIVE ME A TICKET, HOOKER?

A WARNING.

WELL, I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR LECTURES.

I'M IN WHAT YOU MIGHT CALL A HURRY.

YOU'RE ALWAYS IN A HURRY.

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

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

AND MAYBE I DID

BECAUSE YOU'VE NEVER GIVEN ME THE RESPECT

THAT I HAVE EARNED IN THIS BUSINESS.

THE CALL GIRL RING IN SOUTH BEACH?

I BROKE THAT STORY

BEFORE ANY POLICEMAN EVEN ARRESTED A SINGLE SUSPECT.

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

DRUG BUSTS, THE ROGIN MURDER CASE,

I HAVE PAID MY DUES, MISTER.

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

I WAS WRONG TO DUMP YOU THE WAY I DID,

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

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

IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION, ANY LEADS,

TURN THEM OVER TO JACKSON AND BARNES.

YOU'LL STILL GET YOUR STORY.

THEY'RE WORSE THAN YOU.

YOU GUYS THINK THAT ANYTHING IN A SKIRT

HAS THE I.Q. OF A TURNIP!

WELL, I HAVE MY ETHICS,

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

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

YOU DO HAVE A WAY WITH WOMEN.

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

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE

BEFORE WE BECOME ANOTHER MEDIA EVENT.

WILLIAMS... CLARK

HAD A POST OFFICE BOX AT SKY VISTA

AT THE END OF THE "B" BUS RUN.

DETECTIVES HAVE IT STAKED OUT. SO?

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

OVERLOOKING SKY VISTA?

A CROSS. A LARGE CROSS.

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

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

BUT BEFORE WILLIAMS WAS COMMITTED,

HE WAS A CARETAKER IN PHOENIX,

AT A CONVENT.

OH!

MISS HILL? I'M ARLAN WILLIAMS.

YOU ARE ALONE, AREN'T YOU?

OF COURSE.

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

WELL, I THOUGHT MEETING FACE TO FACE

WOULD BE FAR MORE ENLIGHTENING FOR BOTH OF US.

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

NO. T-THIS IS, UH...

THIS IS ISOLATED ENOUGH.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE INTERESTED IN WHERE I LIVE?

WHY I HAVE TO DO WHAT I DO?

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

I'M... MISS HILL,

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

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

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

AND GO SOMEPLACE WHERE WE CAN BE ALONE?

EXCUSE ME, FATHER. CAN YOU HELP US?

DO YOU RECOGNIZE THIS MAN?

WHY, YES. THAT'S OUR CARETAKER.

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

AND UP THE STAIRS.

THANK YOU, FATHER.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

WILLIAMS! OPEN UP! POLICE!

LOOK AT THIS.

WHAT?

HE KEPT A LOG OF HIS ATTACKS.

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

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

HOOKER! HELP!

WILLIAMS!

GIVE IT UP!

NO!

HEY!

WHAT?

GET DOWN AND STAY DOWN.

ROMANO, WE CAN'T USE IT!

ROMANO.

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

YOU CAN GET OUT OF THE BUS NOW.

OH, THANK YOU, OFFICER.

OH, THANK YOU, OFFICER.

I'M SORRY, I... YEAH, ETHICS

AND INTEGRITY ARE LOVELY WORDS,

BUT THEY NEVER WON ANYBODY AN EMMY, RIGHT?

I WANNA APOLOGIZE TO YOU, NOW.

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

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

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

AH, JUST MISSED.

YOU BUY AGAIN, HOOKER.

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

BEFORE YOUR CAR GETS A YEAR OLDER

AND THE NEW MODELS COME OUT.

YEAH, BUT WHO... WHO IS THIS GUY?

MELVIN?

OH, HE'S A BUDDY OF MINE.

HE'LL GIVE YOU A SQUARE DEAL...

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

WHAT'S HIS BACKGROUND?

HOOKER, YOU DON'T TRUST ANYBODY.

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

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

I LIKE TO APPROACH THINGS FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE.

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

IS THIS STOOL TAKEN?

IT'S A FREE COUNTRY.

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

WHITE WINE?

OR ARE YOU STILL LIVING DANGEROUSLY?

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

JERRY, WHITE WINE FOR THE LADY.

YOU KNOW, I WAS A PSYCHOLOGY MAJOR

BEFORE I WENT INTO JOURNALISM.

YOU WOULD'VE MADE AN INTERESTING CLASS PROJECT.

YEAH?

WHY'D YOU CALL ME?

WELL, ROMANO HEARD YOUR NEWSCAST

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

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

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

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

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

JUST DON'T COME ON WITH EVERY STORY

LIKE WE'RE TRYING TO STEAL OUR PENSIONS.

YOU'LL MAKE A LOT MORE FRIENDS.

WHO DOES THE, UH, SPORTS ON YOUR NEWSCAST?

CHUCK MURRAY.

OH, YEAH!

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

YEAH.

MAYBE I'LL GET MY ANTENNA FIXED.

TRACY! NICE TO SEE YOU.

HI.

IT'S ALL SET.

WHAT'S ALL SET?

I GOT HOOKER LINED UP WITH A DUDE

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

A PORCHE? MMM-HMM.

WELL, MAYBE YOU SHOULD WAIT.

YOU MIGHT GET A BETTER DEAL THROUGH THE STATE.

YEAH?

YEAH, WE JUST DID SOME STORY ON A GUY

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

A REAL SLEAZY CHARACTER.

WHAT'S HIS NAME?

UH, DELVIN, KELVIN, UH...

MELVIN?
