(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

There he is.

He's the one
with the red shirt
and the blue jeans.

Well, go get him.

See you tomorrow, Bobby.
I'll bring my bat.

Hi, Brian.

Hi.

I've been waiting for you.
Your mom asked me
to pick you up.

Where is she?

Oh, she's just
doing some errands,
and I'm helping her out.

BRIAN: I don't know you.

PAULA: I know
you don't, dear,

but I know your mommy.

You do?

Her name's Sara.

She asked me to take care
of you until she gets home.

Come on.

Let's go have
an ice cream cone.

Hi.

Hello.

Brian, this is Dave.

He's going to drive us.

How are you doing, pal?

Hi.

(STARTS ENGINE)

And his name is Brian?

Brian.
Wearing a red polo shirt,
and blue jeans.

Today was a minimum day
at school.

He should've been home
by noon, no later.

Are you sure your little boy
didn't go home with a friend,

maybe just forgot
to tell you?

We're positive.
We've called
all his friends.

We looked everywhere
he might go.

Officer, our son
is missing.

Don't you people
do anything besides
fill out forms?

Mr. Randall, I know
how upset both of you
must be,

but the detectives who handle
child-missing cases are out
on a call right now.

And we're spread a little thin
on uniform personnel
until the next shift.

Well, then what are you
gonna do about it?

Can I give you a hand?

Uh... Mr. and Mrs. Randall
here are reporting
a missing child.

Their son, Brian.
He's seven years old.

He should've
been home hours ago.

(CRYING) Brian is
our only child.

Would you like a drink
of water, ma'am? Or maybe
you'd like to sit down?

No, it's okay.
I'll be all right.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)

I know how you must feel.
It happened to me once.

My boy went
looking for trouble
in a storm drain

and was gone
for eight hours.

Seemed like eight days.

But he was...
All right?

Yes.

And that's the way these
things usually turn out.

And I'm sure
that's the way
it'll be with Brian.

In the meantime,
we'll have copies
of this picture made,

we'll hand them out
to all our people

and to all
the other precincts.

Next shift is
just getting ready
to come on.

We'll get some units
out on the streets right away
and start looking for Brian.

I'm Sergeant Hooker.
This is my number.

If Brian turns up,
please call.

And if I hear of anything,

I'll be in touch.

Thank you.

It's all right.
Come on, honey.

Hello.

Tough on 'em.

You can see they're
pretty torn up about it.

Losing a child
can be the worst.

Follow every lead,
turn the city upside down.

The child is never seen again.

How many units
can you spring for this?

Half-dozen uniforms out
with the flu. I'll have to
check the duty roster.

I'm clocking off the desk.
Uh, Stace and I can
hit the streets with them.

You can count me in.

You mean, you'd break
your date with Earlene?

Yeah.

I'll just tell her
not to start without me.

Man, how can kids just
disappear without a trace?

Sometimes some creep
has given them a push.

I don't understand.
A child is missing,

so how come
the F.B.I. won't help?

They have to have
a clear signal
that it's a kidnapping

otherwise, they have
no jurisdiction.

You know, maybe we're
tracking the wrong horse.

What are you thinking?

I checked out
Larry Randall, Brian's father.

He's been unemployed
for six months,

ever since they closed
the assembly plant
in Sandhall.

A guy under that
kind of pressure
could take it out on a kid.

Does he have any record of
child abuse or wife-beating?

Not that I can find.

I got the feeling he really
loved that boy.

But we can't afford to take
anything for granted.

We ought to run him through
NCIC computer, see if
it's got anything on him.

Hooker and Romano
are doing a house-to-house?

Checking everything,
including storm drains.

Well, let's start hitting
those condemned buildings
over on Western.

Well, yeah, I did hear
there was a missing child

on the news on TV,
but I don't know what
that's got to do with me.

I haven't seen him.

It's a deathtrap.

What does it take to get
through to you people?

Newspapers, TV,
community circulars,

they all tell you, if you
have an old refrigerator
that's not being used,

take the door off
or wire it closed.

(SIGHS)

I know you're right.
I've been after my husband,

Harry, to get
a piece of wire and...

We're not going to wait
for your husband, okay?

You tell your husband, Harry,
when he comes home tonight,

that he's lucky that little
Brian Randall isn't in there.

Or I'd wire him closed.

We've about
done it all, Hooker.

Brian's teacher,
his friends...

We've checked
the community pool,

the storm drains,
gone door to door.

So have Corrigan and Stacy,
and all the other units.

We have covered
this entire neighborhood.

Where else
can we look, Hooker?

We start over,
from the beginning.

With Brian Randall's
parents.

WOMAN: (OVER RADIO)
Dispatch to
Four-Adam-Thirty...

Dispatch to
Four-Adam-Thirty...

Go, Dispatch.

This is Thirty.

Thirty, we have
Four-Adam-Sixteen ready
to be patched through.

Stand by.

Thirty, this is Corrigan.

You got something?

A jogger over here found
the body of a young boy
in the river bed.

He's been dead several hours.

Damn.

Corrigan, Hooker.

Is it Brian Randall?

He's, uh, six to eight
years of age.

Uh, 46 inches tall,
52 pounds.

Dark hair, brown eyes,

no distinguishing marks.

The description fits,
Hooker...

(DRUMS PLAYING)

(CROWD WHISTLING)

(CROWD CHATTERING)

(DRUMS CONTINUE)

(CROWD APPLAUDS)

Mmm.

Cut it out, Dave.
I told you before.
Save it for Paula.

Your loss, Crystal.

I'm used to losing.
That's why I'm here.

Great.

Where have you been?

The kid's been
driving me crazy.

He wants his mommy.

Look, just hang in
till tomorrow. Okay?

That's when my deal
comes together.

This is insane.

I'm trying to work here
and explain away a kid.

What kind of story
did you come up with?

I said he was my nephew.

Look, Dave.

I can't handle this anymore.
You've got to talk to him.

All right, fine.
So I'll talk to him.

Just start packing, because
we're pulling out tomorrow.

Hi, Brian, you okay?

I want my mom.

Aw, don't worry
about your mommy, kiddo.

She's okay,
and she knows
you're with me.

I want my dad.

Oh, no, you don't.

And you know why?

Because he's not
your real daddy.

I am.

No, you're not.
You're not my dad.

Brian.

You see this
picture here?

Hmm?

That's your mommy.

And this is you
in Mommy's arms.

And you see this man here?

That's me. See?

I thought Corrigan said
the computer came up
dry on Mr. Randall.

Nothing but a few
traffic violations.

But when it comes to
child abuse, you don't want to
hang your hat on the computer.

Most instances
go unreported.

You think that's the reason
Brian might've split?

I wish I knew.

One thing...

It'll be a relief to be able
to tell them the little boy
in the river bed wasn't Brian.

Yeah, but it was a boy
that someone was
looking for, somewhere.

Some little kid
who died alone.

And the chance of
matching up the boy

with the family
is mighty slim.

You'd think with
all the technology
in this country,

computers, cameras,
telephones,

there shouldn't be
any trouble IDing
a kid's body.

Brian's description could fit
half the six to eight year
olds I've ever known.

Which is the problem.

Sergeant, any word?

Nothing, I'm sorry.

Come on in.

(DOG BARKING)

No, there's no news,
honey. No.

Coffee, gentlemen?

Thank you, no.

your son wandered off
or went exploring.

Or got lost.

We haven't considered
the possibility

that your son
has been kidnapped.

I'm unemployed.
What kind of ransom
would anyone get from me?

People don't always
kidnap for ransom.

Is there anybody
you know that

might want Brian
just to have him?

Friend or relative?

A babysitter who was
particularly fond of him?

Well, there is...

No, Larry.
You're wrong. I...

He couldn't...

And there is no reason
to bring that up.

Mrs. Randall, we're at a point
where there's reason
to bring everything

and anything up.
Who are we talking about?

We're talking about
Brian's life, Sara.

Her first husband,
David Burke.

Brian's natural father.

But he doesn't
even know Brian.

He deserted us when Brian
was just four months old.

Where is he now?

In prison,
back in New York.

What for?

Armed robbery.
He got 10 to life.

Anything else
I can check up on?

Oh, nothing, Sergeant.

Your son is quite
the little artist.

That's the last one he did.

No, Mrs. Randall.

Not the last one.

Not if it's up to me.

All right, everybody...

...on the floor!
Let's go, get down.

(GASPING)

Come on, come on.

Come on, hurry up!
Hurry up!

(BEEPING)

WOMAN: (OVER RADIO)
Four-Adam-Thirty and
all units in the vicinity

of Fourth and Roundtree,
a two-eleven silent.

Van Russe Jewelers.
Thirty, handle Code Two.

Four Adam Thirty, Roger.

Let's go.

Ah, I'm hit!

(TIRES SCREECHING)

There's three of them
in a gray Chevrolet.

I hit one of them.

Which way?

(SIREN WAILING)

Chevy Sedan, gray,
westbound on Roundtree.

Now passing Fourteenth.

(GROANS)

Come on, it's bad, man.
I gotta see a doctor.

Burke, we got to do
something about this fast.

Okay. I'll get hold of
a doctor. You stay put.

I'll send him here.

(STARTS ENGINE)

What are we
doing, Hooker?

This is where
we lost 'em.

We had them in
sight till they swung
off the boulevard.

Cops.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(SIREN WAILING)

Squeeze the trigger
and you're a dead man.

Open your hand
and let it fall.

Kick it away.

Your partner, too.

Now put your hands
behind your neck.

Take it real easy.

What about my partner?
He's in bad shape.

You're not doing
too well yourself.
Get on your knees.

Read him his rights.

Give him a seat in the lounge.
I'm gonna talk to his buddy.

You have the right
to remain silent.

If you give up the right
to remain silent, anything
you say can...

Both hands!

ROMANO: You have the right
to speak to an attorney...

You have the right
to remain silent.

Oh man, skip the rights.

You were made at
the scene of a robbery.

Van Russe Jewelers.

There were three men involved.
Who was the third man?

I need a doctor.

and where I can find him.

Oh, come on, man.
I'm in pain.

The name of your accomplice.
Who is he?

Come on.

He split on you, didn't he?

He probably told you
he was gonna get a doctor.

You could've died waiting.

Who is he?

Burke.

His name's Dave Burke.

Dave...

Where do I find him?

I don't know.

I swear, I don't know.

You help him rip off
all those jewels, and you
don't know where to find him?

How were you going to get
your cut of the action?

He was going to
get in touch,

after he got in contact
with the buyers.

Some guy from
Mexico somewhere.

You don't know
where he lives?

Where does he hang out?

Popeye's.

He goes with one
of the strippers there.

Paula Bennett.

HOOKER: Is this the boy?

CRYSTAL: Yeah,
I wish you'd got
here sooner.

Burke's probably
in Mexico by now.

And for sure Paula and
the kid are with him.

They all took off together.

Well, that's our answer.
That's what has happened
with the boy.

Burke snatched him and
ran with him to Mexico.

And Brian isn't
Paula's nephew,

Crystal.

That's the story
they fed you. (SIGHS)

Where in Mexico

are Paula and Burke
taking Brian?

Morales. They'll be there
a couple of days,

and then they're headed
to South America.

How do you know?

These drawings.

Did Brian do them?

Yeah.

I helped him do
the one of Paula,

and that's a cat.

And that's, well...
I guess it's just a bird.

At least we know
he's still alive.

There is no guarantee
he's going to stay that way.

Are you sure
he said Morales?

Yes, sure.

Thank you, Crystal.

Hey, Hooker.

What do you hear
from home these days?

Morales?

Talked to my brother
the other day.

Uh, fish are jumping,
weather is good.

Why? You gonna take
some of that overtime
you got built up?

I've been thinking
about it.

Hey, you go to Morales,
and you gotta look up
my big brother Miguel.

He'll show you around,
if he can tear himself away.

His case load is
heavy as ours, huh?

(CHUCKLES)
No, it's not police work
that keeps Miguel busy...

Senoritas, tequila, poker...

I thought you said
he was a good detective.

The best. He knows what's
under every rock in Morales.

But I thought you
wanted to go fishing?

Yeah.

For a snake
who kidnapped
a little boy.

I'll need your brother to
turn over some of those rocks.

Call him for me, will you?

Tell him I'm coming down.

You got it, Hooker.

Buenos dias.
What's it going
to be, senor?

The bullfights
or senoritas?

The police station.

The police station, senor?

What are you going
to do there?

See a friend of a friend,
Lieutenant Miguel Gomez.

(LAUGHS)

Senor, you don't want
to go to the police station.

You'll never find
Detective Gomez there.

But don't worry,
I'll take you to him.

(STARTS ENGINE)

Senor, you have to
go down to the plaza.

Catch the left,
go to the church.

Thank you
very much, senor.

I don't like it here.

Don't worry about it.
You'll like it just fine.

I don't like it
here, either.

Just get off
of my back.

If I'd have known
what you were into,

I never would've taken
up with you again.

Hey, babe, you wanted
a better life,

I'm giving you better.

I want my mommy.

Shut up!

PAULA: Don't take it
out on him.

You've done enough
to him already.

You've taken him
from his home,

not because you love
him or you want him,

but to get back
at your ex-wife.

He's a possession to you,

like a car or a TV set,

that you just don't
want her to have.

(GRUNTS)

I'm warning you, Paula,

you go sour on me,

and I swear I'll
leave you out here
in the middle of nowhere.

(SPEAKS SPANISH)

(IN ENGLISH)
So, you're Hooker, huh?

So, you're Detective
Miguel Gomez?

Mmm-hmm.

Real pleasure
to meet you.

My brother Pete says
you're one hell of
a hot shot cop, huh.

Your brother tends
to exaggerate.

Oh, you think so?

What did he
say about me?

That you're one
of the best.

He does not exaggerate.

(LAUGHS)

Make yourself at home,
hombre amigo.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(IN ENGLISH)
Do you like tequila?

This is important.

Throw the money
on the table important?

Excuse me.

We have a saying here,

"Baby needs
a new serape."

Don't you, baby?

(SPEAKS SPANISH)

(IN ENGLISH) Hey.

Your brother Pete
says you owe him one.

He owes me one.
I'm here to collect.

That's the way it goes, huh?

Everybody's got a picture,

everybody's got
their hand out.

In this case,
it's the hand of a little boy.

Seven year old.

What?

For all I know,

his life may be in danger.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(SIGHS)

(IN ENGLISH)
My brother Pete also says

that when Hooker
means business,
you either go with him

or get out of his way.
(LAUGHING)

Your brother
does not exaggerate.

Whoa.

(CHUCKLES)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

I think I'm gonna like you.

Let's go.

All right, muchachos.

After you.

You never know what's
on the other side.

Good point.

(LOCAL MUSIC PLAYING)

MIGUEL: Well,
the boy is cute.

Forget the man, Burke.

Now, this woman.

She, I would
like to find.

I need all three.
Where do we start?

It's hard to say.

This town is
full of tourists.

Maybe there are more
of you here than us.

Look, why don't you
tell me something
about this Burke, huh?

He was doing time

in upstate New York
for armed robbery.

Just before I came
down here, I learned

that he got
out on parole.

Oh. (SPEAKS SPANISH)

(IN ENGLISH)
Wait a minute.

He broke his parole
when he drove
across the border.

Maybe there's
a reward out
for his capture, huh?

No, I'm afraid not. But...

He and two associates

cleaned out a jewelry
store, over a million
dollars' worth.

(WHISTLES)

would be very appreciative
to get those jewels back.

Yeah.

That is my kind
of fugitive.

Let's go and
find that boy.

Right over here.

(GRUNTS)

(EXHALES)

(ENGINE STALLING)

Oh.

(ENGINE SPUTTERS)

I have the same problem.

(ENGINE STARTS)

Ah, Luis, not so fast.

Whoa, whoa, hold on.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Jefe, uh...
(SPEAKING ENGLISH)
I've been looking for you.

You have been
looking for me?

You found me!
It's your lucky day, mano.

Uno, dos, tres...

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(IN ENGLISH) Well, uh,
you're back in business, Luis.

This is for his
merchant's license.

He doesn't like to
go down to City Hall.

Of course.

Luis.

Detective Gomez is
helping me find
three Americans.

These three.

They came across
the border yesterday.

Have you, by any chance,
seen them?

LUIS: No, senor...

Sorry.

One momento.

Luis sees
a lot of people,

he doesn't always
take notice.

But things for sale...

Those he knows
about, right?

Si.

This man here

robbed a jewelry store
in my city.

He's here in Morales,
trying to get rid of
the jewels.

Over a million dollars'
worth of diamonds and rubies,

emeralds and gold.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(IN ENGLISH)
Help him, por favor.

(STUTTERS)
Could be I hear...

Something, uh...

About those jewels.

Like what?

Just... Just talk...

From my sister.

Where do we find your sister?

I know her.
Just follow me.

Gracias, Luis.

What are we
stopping here for?

Hey. You want to talk
to Catalina, Luis's sister.

All right, she works
here in the house.

First door at the top
of the stairs.

You coming with me?

No. You can handle it.

Besides, uh...

This is a good place
for me to, uh...

Take my siesta.

(SIGHS)

Something tells me
they don't like to go
down to City Hall either.

My name is Hooker.

I'd like to have a word
with Catalina.

Who sent you?

Detective Miguel Gomez.

(GIRLS LAUGHING)

There's a gorilla
up there.

He's mean.

His name is Mingo.

Why didn't you tell me?

My brother says you
are a man who likes

to learn for himself.

(CHUCKLES) Here.

I just learned.

I'm going to do this my way.

(PUNCH LANDS)

(GRUNTS)

Not bad.

My way.

(LAUGHS) Mingo?

That was Sergeant Hooker,

United States.

Which one of
you is Catalina?

(CHUCKLES)

I am Catalina.

Your brother, Luis,
and Detective Gomez

said you had
some information
that could help me.

Mmm... Nothing more?

I'm trying to track
some stolen jewels

that were smuggled
in from the States.

You told your brother you had
heard something about them.

You must be
mistaken, senor.

Catalina.

You're afraid.
What is it?

I can't say.

I'm sorry.

are you?

No senorita is
afraid of Miguel.

Then what is it?
Why won't you help me?

Please. Just leave.

Catalina...

When I mentioned
the jewels just now, you...

You got very quiet.

I don't care
about the jewels.

But the man who stole them
and smuggled them here,

he also took a little boy
he had no right to take.

And there's a chance
that something bad

might happen to
that little boy

if I don't get
to him quickly.

Please help me.

I have this friend,
Amparo.

She spends much time at
the hacienda of Senor Madera.

She told me

she heard the senor speak of
buying many diamonds
and other jewels.

That's good enough.

That's all I know.

Many thanks.

And I'll tell Detective
Gomez that you helped me.

Where to, my friend?

of someone named Madera.

Senor Hidalgo Madera.

He's a very powerful man
in this city.

He's also a dealer
in stolen jewelry.

He could lead us
to the boy.

That may be,
but unfortunately,

I don't even have grounds on
which to question Madera.

When I go back
to my city,

the boy's mother and father
will be waiting for me.

I'm not going to give them
a speech on jurisdiction
and red tape.

I'm going to
give them their boy.

If my son were missing,

you'd be the first man
I'd ask to find him,
all right?

Now, this Madera,

he's not just rich,
he's dangerous.

If what you say is true,

Mr. Burke is
equally dangerous.

In which case...

You might need this.

Gracias, amigo.

Of course if you
get caught with that,

regretfully I would have to
say it was stolen from me.

Of course.

Of course.

Two more things and
you're off the hook.

I hope so.

and point me to
Madera's hacienda.

All right.

Listen, your men have
had enough time to look
at the stuff, huh.

Have another drink, mano.

(SNIFFS)

Take a pick of one
of my girls, here.

Take this one.

Life is short.

Thanks. Not this time.

I just want to
finish my business
and get on the road.

Yes, a friend
in the States

said you would
be in a hurry.

Very well,

let us conclude matters.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(IN ENGLISH) The estimated
market value
is, uh, $1.2 million.

I will give
you $300,000.

Don't try to
short change me, Madera.

Our deal was 50% of market.

Yes.

That was before you had to
come here to my country.

Here, I am king.

I would lose the respect

of my colleagues
as a businessman,

if I did not, uh,
press my advantage. Hmm?

MADERA: I will
give you 300,000.

BURKE: All right.

Just give me my 50%.

In 15 minutes
me and my kid will be
out of Morales.

MADERA: If you kill me,
my men will
surely kill you.

Don't be a fool, Burke.

Take your $300,000

and get out while
you still can. Hmm?

(GUNSHOTS)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(GROANING)

I counted on you being here.

Madera's in there with
the stolen jewelry.

What a lucky coincidence,
my friend.

I've been after him
for a long time.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(IN ENGLISH) That's Burke.

(SIREN BLARING)

MIGUEL: That's as far
as we go.

No way to make it
through there without
a four-wheel drive.

Let's get back
to the road.

That's got to be
where he's headed.

but where is he
going after that?

Burke said he could
grab Brian in 15 minutes.

That means
a place close by.

Yeah, but a lot of
motels close by.

The La Paloma, El Sid,

La Luna, Papa Gallo Rojo,
and Sed.

The Papa Gallo Rojo?

That means
The Red Parrot, doesn't it?

Yeah.

Brian drew a picture
of a red bird.

That could be it.

We got to
get out of here.

Come on, pack it up.

So...

Where's the bronco?

Let's try around back.

(SIGHS)

(GLASS SHATTERING)

(GUN FIRES)

Keep him busy.
Fire into the air.

I don't wanna
hurt the boy.

(BULLET RICOCHETS)

(GUNFIRE CONTINUES)

Come here.

Stay right there, Brian,

or I'm gonna have to
hurt your aunt Paula.

Don't listen
to him, Brian. Run!

Get out of my way.

I want the boy.

And I want you.

Stay there.

(GUN CLICKS)

Who are you?

I'm the guy
that's going to bury you.

Oh.

(PAULA GASPS)

Detective Gomez.

Local police.

Mr. Brian...

Hola. (LAUGHS)

Why? Why me?

Because I don't
like your face.

Because of what
you did to Brian.

Because I'm enjoying it.

You want me
to try another?

No. (WHIMPERS)

No, please don't.

That's too bad.

But I guess a bullet
would be too quick.

And you don't deserve
to get off that easy.

Don't forget to tell
your mom and dad
how you helped me find you

with your drawing
of the red bird.

Okay, Sergeant Hooker.
I'll tell them.

I bet when you grow up,
you're gonna be
a famous artist.

No, when I grow up,
I wanna be a policeman.

(DOOR OPENS)

Brian!

Oh!

Oh, God, you're safe.
You're safe.

Oh.

Looking at your
face and Sara's

is thanks enough,
believe me, Mr. Randall.

You know,
Brian's my step son,

but I feel about him
like he's my own.

That's clear to everybody,
including Brian.

And I know Brian thinks
of you as his own.
