I THINK TYPHOON MAY BE BACK IN L.A.

TO MURDER SOMEBODY.

I THINK THIS IS HARD EVIDENCE.

YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.

MY PAROLE'S IN THE TOILET, JOSIE IS DEAD,

THE POLICE ARE AFTER ME... ALL BECAUSE OF YOU.

YEAH, YOU WERE THE GUY WHO BUILT THE CASE ON HIM.

KEEP DRIVING,

OR I'LL BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF. I SWEAR I WILL.

HOLDING A POLICE OFFICER CAPTIVE

IS THE SAME THING AS KIDNAPPING.

SHUT UP WITH THAT CRAP!

I DON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS. IT'S GOING TO BE WORTH IT

JUST TO BLOW HIM STRAIGHT TO HELL.

DON'T KILL HIM.

WORKS FOR ME.

IT AIN'T GONNA WORK, HUNTER.

WHAT'S THAT, TYPHOON?

YOUR FACE... IT'S BUTT-UGLY,

BUT IT AIN'T ENOUGH TO GET ME TO GO BACK INSIDE.

NOW, WHAT KIND OF AN ATTITUDE IS THAT?

I DROVE ALL THE WAY UP HERE TO GIVE YOU A LIFT.

YOU'D HAVE TO BUST ME AGAIN TO GET ME IN A CAR WITH YOU.

JUST TRYING TO DO YOU A FAVOR.

IT'S A LONG BUS RIDE TO L.A.

WHO SAYS I'M GOING BACK THERE?

WELL, A CERTAIN SNITCH I KNOW TOLD ME

YOU'RE GONNA GET EVEN WITH THE GUY THAT FRAMED YOU.

THAT'S A LOAD OF BULL.

REALLY? WELL, DOES THAT MEAN

YOU FINALLY ADMIT YOU'RE GUILTY?

I DON'T ADMIT NOTHING.

I NEVER KILLED NOBODY, AND I AIN'T GONNA START NOW.

THE PAROLE BOARD JUST CUT ME LOOSE,

AND I'D BE SOME KIND OF FOOL

TO GET MYSELF PUT BACK IN THE JOINT AGAIN.

I NEVER SAID YOU WEREN'T A FOOL, TYPHOON.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE NOBODY GETS KILLED,

YOU UNDERSTAND? YEAH?

WELL, THAT'S REAL CONSIDERATE OF YOU.

WHAT DID YOU THINK, I'VE BEEN

INSTITUTIONALIZED OR SOMETHING?

YOU THINK I CAN'T WAIT TO GET BEHIND THE WALL AGAIN?

LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVEN'T MISSED TOO MANY MEALS IN THERE.

8 YEARS, HUNTER. WE ALL CHANGE.

HELL, YOU AIN'T GOT MUCH MORE HAIR THAN ME NOW,

AND YOU AIN'T SNOWING THIS CON NONE, EITHER.

YOU DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT ME.

YOU'RE JUST WORRIED YOU MIGHT'VE MADE A MISTAKE.

YOU EXPECT ME TO COMP THE TAB ON THIS,

A ROUND-TRIP EXCURSION TO THE STATE PEN?

WELL, SURE. IT'S A VALID EXPENSE.

IT WAS DEPARTMENTAL BUSINESS.

WHAT ARE YOU, HIS BUSINESS MANAGER?

DO YOU GET 10% OF THIS?

SO, WHAT DID YOU FIND OUT?

WELL, NOTHING YET.

LOOK, THE GUY'S NOT GOING TO JEOPARDIZE

HIS PAROLE BY SAYING ANYTHING TO A COP.

YEAH? DID YOU EVER THINK

YOUR SNITCH MIGHT BE FULL OF BEANS?

NOT THIS SNITCH.

WHY? WHAT IS HE, A NOTARY PUBLIC?

LOOK, I'LL MAKE YOU A DEAL.

I'LL EAT THE EXPENSES GOING UP TO SEE TYPHOON

IF YOU AUTHORIZE A SURVEILLANCE ON HIM

FOR ABOUT 3 OR 4 DAYS.

I DON'T FEEL LIKE DOING ANY HORSE-TRADING, HUNTER.

WHY SHOULD I WASTE ANY MANPOWER AT ALL ON THIS THING?

BECAUSE I THINK TYPHOON MAY BE BACK IN L.A.

TO MURDER SOMEBODY.

LET ME REMIND YOU TWO

THAT THIS IS THE HOMICIDE INVESTIGATIONS TEAM HERE.

YOU WANT TO JOIN THE CRIME PREVENTION UNIT,

I'M SURE THAT CAN BE ARRANGED.

IN THE MEANTIME, STICK WITH THE MURDERS

THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN COMMITTED, ALL RIGHT?

LIEUTENANT,

IF HUNTER IS RIGHT ABOUT THE RUMOR,

THEN THAT MEANS THOMPSON WAS NOT GUILTY.

THERE'S STILL AN OPEN HOMICIDE ON THE BOOKS.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. LET'S TAKE A LOOK.

JEROME "TYPHOON" THOMPSON.

HE WAS A HELL OF A MIDDLEWEIGHT WHEN HE WAS A CONTENDER.

THE CASE AGAINST HIM WAS BUILT MOSTLY

ON CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.

WITNESSES TESTIFIED THAT THEY QUARRELED.

THEY FOUND THE MANAGER BEATEN TO DEATH.

THOMPSON'S ONLY ALIBI WAS HIS GIRLFRIEND,

AND WHEN THEY PUT HER ON THE STAND,

SHE DENIED THAT SHE WAS EVEN WITH HIM.

JOSIE CLIFFORD.

WHEN I WENT TO SEE HER A WHILE BACK,

SHE WAS TOO SCARED TO TALK TO ME.

SO, WHAT DO YOU FIGURE,

SHE WAS BRIBED TO CHANGE HER TESTIMONY?

PERHAPS.

OR MAYBE SHE WANTED TO PUT HIM AWAY.

ALL RIGHT, ENOUGH SPECULATION.

GET ME SOME HARD EVIDENCE ON THIS

BY THE END OF THE WEEK OR WE PUT THIS THEORY TO BED

FOR ONCE AND FOR ALL. FAIR ENOUGH?

DEAL. YEAH.

HUNTER, I DO BELIEVE THIS BELONGS TO YOU.

OH, I'LL EAT THIS AT LUNCH.

IS SPORTY JAMES STILL GETTING SHINED UP HERE?

MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS.

HE BEEN BY YET?

TELL HIM TYPHOON THOMPSON IS LOOKING FOR HIM.

YOU'RE TYPHOON THOMPSON? WOW!

I'LL BE OVER AT THE RIB CAGE.

SURE THING, MR. THOMPSON.

HOLY CRIPES!

HEY, YOU CRAZY FOOL! STOP!

Hunter: I THINK THIS IS HARD EVIDENCE.

ALL RIGHT, HUNTER. YOU MADE YOUR POINT.

THE BIKER'S NAME IS SONNY COLDIRON.

HE AND HIS OLD LADY

ARE FROM THE RENO CHAPTER OF DEVIL'S DISCIPLES.

I DON'T BELIEVE THESE TWO

ARE GOING TO TELL US WHO HIRED THEM EITHER.

Finn: IT DOES TELL US ONE THING, THOUGH.

WHOEVER YOUR BAD GUY IS,

HE'S NOT A MEMBER OF THE BLACK COMMUNITY.

ALL RIGHT. STAY WITH IT.

CIAO.

TYPHOON THOMPSON, IS THAT YOU?

SPORTY JAMES, HOW YOU DOING?

NOT BAD. NOT BAD.

YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE YOU'RE HURTING NONE.

OH, I GOT YOUR MESSAGE.

YEAH. SAY, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE RIB CAGE?

OH, IT FOLDED 4 OR 5 YEARS AGO.

WOW. I DON'T RECOGNIZE THIS TOWN NO MORE.

IT'S ALL SUSHI BARS AND THAI FOOD JOINTS.

YEAH, YUPPIE CHOW, YOU KNOW?

WE BE TRENDY NOW, YOU DIG?

COME ON. GET IN, MAN. HA HA HA HA!

LATE MODEL WHITE CADILLAC CONVERTIBLE.

CALIFORNIA LICENSE...

WILLIAM-VICTOR-FRANK- 2-4-7.

Typhoon: WHERE YOU HEADED?

Sporty: I'VE GOT TO MAKE A STOP ON WESTON.

YOU KNOW, COLLECT SOME LATE ACTION.

I, UH,

I NEED A COUPLE MORE DAYS, SPORTY.

CUT ME SOME SLACK.

I CAN'T DO IT, PACO, MAN. YOU ARE LAGGING.

YOU HAVE GOT TO GET YOUR MONEY STRAIGHT, BABY.

MAYBE I CAN BORROW IT FROM THE PAYROLL, OK?

WHATEVER IT TAKES.

YOU KNEW I WAS GETTING OUT, DIDN'T YOU?

OH, WORD'S BEEN AROUND FOR A WHILE.

YOU KNOW SOMEBODY TRIED TO BLOW ME AWAY THIS MORNING?

SAY WHAT?

TRIED TO BLAST ME WITH A SHOTGUN.

HEY, MAN, I DIDN'T HEAR NOTHING ABOUT IT.

THAT'S HARD TO BELIEVE. YOU GOT A LINE ON EVERYTHING.

NOBODY SCRATCHES HIS BUTT AND YOU DON'T HEAR ABOUT IT.

YOU KNOW I DIDN'T KILL MY MANAGER.

HEY, MAN, I NEVER SAID YOU DID.

BUT I SHOULD HAVE. HE FIXED THAT FIGHT.

SOMEBODY GOT TO HIM. HE SLIPPED ME SOMETHING.

TOOK THE EDGE OFF, JUST ENOUGH TO SLOW ME DOWN,

MAKE SURE I'D LOSE. WHOEVER IT WAS

MADE A BUNDLE ON IT. THEN THEY KILLED HIM,

AND NOW THEY'RE TRYING TO KILL ME.

HEY, I'LL BUY THAT. I'LL BUY THAT, MAN.

THAT'S A RIGHTEOUS STORY.

THAT'S THE WAY I FIGURE IT, MAN.

IT'S GOT TO BE.

BUT HONEST TO GOD, MAN, I DON'T KNOW WHO.

YEAH, WELL, I DON'T BELIEVE YOU, SPORT.

I THINK YOU'RE BLOWING SMOKE UP MY NOSE,

BUT I AIN'T GONNA MESS UP MY PAROLE

BY BEATING IT OUT OF YOU.

MAN, I AM TELLING YOU STRAIGHT, TYPHOON.

HERE YOU ARE.

IT'S ALL THERE. GET OUT OF HERE.

OK.

HEY, TELL ME SOMETHING ELSE.

YOU EVER SEE JOSIE AROUND ANYMORE?

UH... YEAH. I RUN INTO HER THE OTHER DAY.

AND?

AND SHE'S LIVING IN A LITTLE PLACE

OVER ON 118th STREET.

SEE? I TOLD YOU YOU KNEW EVERYTHING.

DROP ME OFF OVER THERE, OK?

Radio: L-56, COME IN.

WE HAVE THE INFORMATION YOU REQUESTED.

McCall: GO AHEAD, DISPATCH.

REGISTERED OWNER OF VEHICLE

IS ROLAND J. CARLYLE, AKA SPORTY JAMES.

NO OUTSTANDING WANTS OR WARRANTS.

L-56 ACKNOWLEDGE. OUT.

GAMBLERS AND BOXERS.

UH-HUH.

REQUEST A CRISS-CROSS REFERENCE

ON 1405 118th STREET IN L.A., PLEASE.

Radio: ROGER. PROCESSING.

Radio: L-56, I HAVE THE INFORMATION YOU REQUESTED.

L-56. GO AHEAD.

PROPERTY IS RECORDED AS BEING OWNED

BY TRIPLE STAR INVESTMENTS, PALOS VERDES.

OK. GOT IT. THANKS.

YOU KNOW I WAS HOME ALONE WHEN MY MANAGER GOT KILLED.

I DON'T KNOW THAT. I WASN'T WITH YOU,

AND I JUST COULDN'T BRING MYSELF TO LIE ABOUT IT.

MY LAWYER WOULD HAVE NEVER PUT YOU ON THE STAND,

EXCEPT YOU PROMISED YOU'D BE MY ALIBI.

YEAH, WELL, I THOUGHT I COULD GO THROUGH WITH IT.

I DID. BUT...

I JUST COULDN'T SWEAR TO GOD THAT YOU WERE WITH ME.

LOOK, TY, YOU KNOW HOW I WAS RAISED.

MY MAMA BROUGHT ME UP TO FEAR HELLFIRE AND DAMNATION.

AH, HELL, WOMAN. YOU GREW OUT OF THAT.

YOU SAID SO YOURSELF A DOZEN TIMES.

YEAH, YEAH, WELL, I THOUGHT THAT I HAD.

BUT WHEN THEY PUT THAT BIBLE UNDER MY HAND,

I THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BURN RIGHT THROUGH TO MY SOUL.

YEAH, CAN YOU TELL ME WHO'S RENTING THAT HOUSE, PLEASE?

YEAH, I CAN, BUT HURRY UP, PLEASE.

I HEARD YOU'D BEEN TO EUROPE.

I HEARD YOU GOT YOUR MOM A HOUSE BACK IN JAMAICA.

I HEARD YOU WENT THROUGH A LOT OF MONEY

ALONG THE WAY.

TY.

BUT WHAT I DIDN'T HEAR WAS...

WHERE IT ALL CAME FROM.

LOOK, TY. LOOK, IT'S BEEN A LOT OF YEARS,

AND I HAVEN'T SPENT ALL MY NIGHTS ALONE.

I HAD A COUPLE OF BOYFRIENDS,

AND THEY'VE BEEN PRETTY GOOD TO ME.

YEAH.

SAY THAT AGAIN.

THANKS VERY MUCH.

THE HOUSE IS RENTED TO JOSIE CLIFFORD.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID SHE LIVED IN INGLEWOOD.

WELL, SHE DID, BUT SHE PROBABLY

HAD TO MOVE TO GET AWAY FROM THE TYPHOON.

PUT YOUR HAND RIGHT THERE

AND SWEAR YOU TOLD ME THE TRUTH.

SWEAR TO GOD YOU DIDN'T GET PAID

TO SELL ME DOWN THE RIVER!

NO, IT'S SACRILEGIOUS.

I WON'T TAKE THE LORD'S NAME IN VAIN. NO!

TELL ME WHO IT WAS! WHO PAID YOU OFF?

Josie: NO! OW! YOU'RE HURTING ME!

I'M NOT GOING TO HURT YOU.

OPEN UP. POLICE.

BETTER ANSWER IT BEFORE THEY BUST IT DOWN.

YES, WHAT IS IT?

IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT IN HERE?

DID THIS MAN ASSAULT YOU?

NO. I'M FINE.

WELL, WE HEARD A SCREAM.

SURE YOU'RE ALL RIGHT? HE DIDN'T HURT YOU.

NO. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

THEY'RE LIKE GUARDIAN ANGELS.

YOU'RE SURE YOU DON'T WANT TO FILE A COMPLAINT?

NO. NO, I'M FINE.

PLEASE EXCUSE ME.

LONG WAY TO GO FOR A DRINK.

WHAT IS IT?

I GOT TO SEE EDDIE.

MR. Z. SAYS YOU'RE PERSONA NON GRATIS.

COME ON, JERRY.

I GOT TO TALK TO HIM. TELL HIM IT'S IMPORTANT.

I GOT TO TELL HIM SOMETHING. PLEASE?

OK. WAIT A SECOND.

I THINK ONE OF US OUGHT TO GO IN THERE.

I THINK YOU'D LOOK PRETTY GOOD AS A REDHEAD.

NOT ME. YOU.

I ALWAYS HAVE TO DO THIS.

OF COURSE. IT'S A GIRL'S WIG.

THANK YOU. HELP ME.

OK. BE GENTLE.

ALWAYS.

OW! DON'T...

LOOKS GOOD.

YEAH, GREAT. DO YOU HAVE A BRUSH?

WHAT'S IT GOING TO BE?

YOU GOT 2 MINUTES, JOSIE,

AND I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ONE THING I HEARD BEFORE.

TYPHOON IS BACK IN TOWN.

I KNOW. WHAT DO YOU THINK, I LIVE IN A VACUUM?

HE FOUND ME. HE CAME TO MY PLACE.

YOU BIMBO! HE COULD HAVE FOLLOWED YOU HERE.

NO, HE DIDN'T. THE POLICE RAN HIM OFF.

WHAT?

THEY KNOW THAT HE'S LOOKING FOR

WHOEVER KILLED HIS MANAGER.

WHAT DID YOU TELL HIM?

NOTHING. I DIDN'T TELL HIM NOTHING.

I DIDN'T HAVE TO. HE KNOWS SOMEBODY PAID ME.

I GOT TO GET SOME MORE MONEY.

I GOT TO GET OUT OF TOWN, AND YOU'LL NEVER SEE ME AGAIN.

THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID THE LAST TIME

AND IT COST ME 50,000.

I PROMISE. I WILL GO BACK TO JAMAICA,

AND YOU'LL NEVER SEE ME AGAIN. I'LL STAY THERE.

YEAH? HE'LL FOLLOW YOU.

NO, HE WON'T. HE'S ON PAROLE.

THAT AIN'T GONNA STOP HIM.

THEN WHEREVER YOU SAY, WHATEVER YOU SAY.

EDDIE, PLEASE. COME ON.

JUST CONSIDER IT LIFE INSURANCE.

IF HE CAN'T FIND ME, THEN HE CAN'T FIND YOU.

WHAT ARE WE TALKING, ANOTHER 5 OR 10...

NO, 20. I NEED 20,000.

THEN YOU'LL NEVER SEE ME AGAIN.

COME ON, EDDIE. YOU CAN AFFORD IT.

ALL RIGHT.

TAKE ME A COUPLE OF DAYS TO GET IT TOGETHER.

I WANT YOU TO GO SEE CHARLIE AT THE ST. NEVIS HOTEL,

AND I'LL MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR YOU.

NOW, YOU STAY THERE UNTIL YOU HEAR FROM ME,

AND YOU BETTER NOT BOUNCE BACK THIS TIME.

OK, EDDIE. EDDIE, YOU'RE A GOOD MAN,

AND YOU'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING,

AND I THANK YOU. I THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I REALLY DO.

NO, NO. GO THIS WAY. AND BE CAREFUL.

COPS MIGHT BE WATCHING YOU.

OK.

HEY, LISTEN, CAN I TALK TO THE MANAGER?

WHY, YOU GOT A COMPLAINT?

YEAH. UNEMPLOYMENT.

I NEED A JOB. ARE THEY HIRING ANY WAITRESSES?

YOU HAVE TO TALK TO MR. ZEBINSKY.

HE'S THE OWNER. HE DOES ALL THE HIRING.

THAT'S HIM OVER THERE.

UH, THANKS. I'LL CHECK BACK LATER.

SEE YA.

DID SHE LEAVE?

YEAH. SHE JUST DROVE UP THE STREET.

WHAT HAPPENED IN THERE?

SHE WENT IN TO SEE THE OWNER.

GUESS HE LET HER OUT A BACK DOOR.

YOU GOT HOODWINKED, SERGEANT.

HEY, MR. ZEBINSKY, HOW YOU DOING?

I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS GOING TO BE TALKING

TO YOU PERSONALLY. YOU'RE LOOKING GOOD.

SOME BEAUTIFUL THREADS YOU GOT ON.

YEAH, SAVE THE GARBAGE FOR SOMEBODY ELSE.

I GOT NO TIME TO WASTE WITH YOU.

I WANT YOU TO DO ME A LITTLE FAVOR.

YOU KNOW I'D DO ANYTHING FOR YOU, MR. Z.

IF YOU NEED A FAVOR, JUST ASK ME AND... BOOM...

IT IS DONE LIKE THAT. NO QUESTIONS, NO PROBLEMS.

GOOD. I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT, SPORTY.

I NEED YOU TO HELP ME

WITH THIS LITTLE PROBLEM WITH TYPHOON.

OH, WITH TYPHOON. YEAH, RIGHT.

WELL, YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT YOU WANTED ME

FOR SOME ACTION THAT WAS GOING DOWN HERE

YOU WANTED TO USE ME IN. UH, YOU SEE, UH...

IT'D REALLY BE A MISTAKE FOR YOU TO HAVE ME

MESS AROUND WITH TYPHOON

BECAUSE HE DOESN'T TRUST ME.

THAT'S A BIG SURPRISE, AIN'T IT?

HEY, BUT HE WAS REAL FRIENDLY AT FIRST,

BUT HE KNOWS... OH, WELL, HE THINKS

HE KNOWS THAT I GOT A PIECE OF THE ACTION

WHEN HE WENT DOWN, YOU KNOW?

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO BE REAL CONVINCING, AREN'T YOU?

LOOK, I DON'T WANT TO TELL YOU

HOW TO RUN YOUR BUSINESS, MR. Z.,

BUT MAYBE YOU OUGHT TO LET THE MAN BE.

I MEAN, AFTER ALL, HELL, HE'S BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH,

8 YEARS IN PRISON, NO CHANCE FOR A COMEBACK.

I MEAN, IF WE JUST LET HIM BE COOL,

HE'LL LEAVE THINGS BE, YOU KNOW?

AND HE'LL NEVER FIGURE OUT IT WAS YOU WHO SET HIM UP.

AND, YOU KNOW, HE'S A NICE DUDE.

I MEAN, I KIND OF LIKE THE GUY...

WHEN HE'S NOT MESSING AROUND

WITH THE PRESS ON MY SUITS.

IS THAT SO?

WELL, I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT THE SUIT TOO MUCH

BECAUSE TOMORROW YOU MIGHT BE WEARING IT WITH A HOLE

RIGHT WHERE THIS BIG HEART OF YOURS IS

BECAUSE I HAPPEN TO KNOW

THAT YOU'RE THE TURKEY THAT LED TYPHOON TO JOSIE.

I KNOW THAT IF HE CAN FIND JOSIE, HE CAN FIND ME.

NOW, IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE A PAL OF MINE,

THAT'S ALL FINE AND DANDY.

BUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO STOP BEING USEFUL TO ME,

THEN YOU MIGHT KNOW TOO MUCH TO BE BREATHING,

LIVING WITH THAT BIG MOUTH THAT YOU GOT.

NO, NO, NO.

DON'T GO TALKING LIKE THAT, MR. Z.

I MEAN, HERE, I CAN DO IT FOR YOU.

I AM THE BEST MAN FOR THE JOB.

THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

NO DOUBT AT ALL.

NOW, WHAT IS IT YOU WANT ME TO DO?

Sporty: TYPHOON, IT'S SPORTY.

Typhoon: YEAH?

I'M SORRY ABOUT STEERING YOU WRONG ON JOSIE, MAN.

SAY WHAT?

YEAH, I DIDN'T MEAN TO JERK YOU AROUND OR NOTHING,

BUT I REALLY THOUGHT SHE WAS STILL STAYING IN THAT PLACE.

SHE IS. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, MAN?

WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT, MAN?

MY FRIEND WHO WORKS OVER AT THE ST. NEVIS

TELLS ME THAT SHE'S STAYING THERE NOW.

WELL, HE MUST HAVE MADE A MISTAKE.

MM-MM. NO, NO MISTAKE, I SWEAR.

HE SAYS SHE CHECKED IN AT THE ST. NEVIS.

YEAH, OK. THANKS ANYWAY.

WHO IS IT?

JERRY RASCOE. I GOT A PACKAGE FOR YOU.

MR. Z. SAYS YOU GOT THE LAST DOLLAR

YOU'RE GOING TO GET OUT OF HIM.

I KNOW, I KNOW.

UNH!

HELP YOU?

JOSIE CLIFFORD'S ROOM.

415.

Typhoon: JOSIE?

JOSIE?

JOSIE.

JOSIE.

OH, NO. NO.

I'M SO SORRY, BABY.

I'M SO SORRY.

IF I ONLY HAD THE CHANCE...

HE'S HEADING DOWN THE BACK STAIRS.

BLOCK OFF THAT ALLEY.

HEY, MAN, WHAT'S ALL THE SIRENS ABOUT?

DON'T KNOW. I'VE BEEN UPSTAIRS FOR 10 MINUTES.

JERK ORDERS 2 PIZZAS AND EXPECTS ME TO HAVE

CHANGE FOR A HUNDRED. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?

THEN HE WANTS TO WRITE ME A CHECK.

LOOKING FOR A BLACK DUDE,

CLEAN HEAD, ABOUT YAY TALL?

YEAH, WHERE DID HE GO?

UP ON THE ROOF. KNOCKED ME DOWN.

TRASHED MY WHOLE ORDER, MAN.

SIXTH FLOOR AIN'T NOTHING BUT GARBAGE.

THIS IS FB-9. SUSPECT HAS BEEN IDed

ON THE ROOF. REPEAT, ON THE ROOF.

Radio: ROGER, FB-9. SECURE THE REAR STAIRWAY.

FB-9. WILCO.

Finn: WE GOT A POSITIVE I.D. ON THOMPSON.

RESISTING ARREST, ASSAULTING AN OFFICER.

ON TOP OF THAT, MURDER.

WELL, WAIT A MINUTE. I AGREE THAT HE WAS THERE,

BUT I DON'T BELIEVE HE KILLED HER.

NO? WHY NOT?

HE'S IN LOS ANGELES TO GET THE GUY WHO FRAMED HIM.

HE CAN'T DO THAT IF HE'S IN JAIL FOR MURDER. RIGHT?

MAYBE HE DIDN'T PLAN ON GETTING CAUGHT IN THE ACT.

IT WAS A SETUP.

AW, COME ON. ANOTHER FRAME-UP?

THAT WOULD MAKE HIM THE PATSY OF THE DECADE.

THAT'S RIGHT, AND IT WOULD MAKE

SOMEBODY ELSE A MULTIPLE KILLER.

LOOK, I'VE ALREADY PUT OUT AN A.P.B. ON THE GUY.

I WANT THAT TO STAND. I WANT HIM OFF THE STREET,

EVEN IF IT'S JUST ON A PAROLE VIOLATION.

IF HE'S IN THE SLAMMER, HE CAN'T KILL ANYBODY.

BUT IF YOU DO THAT, YOU'LL NEVER FIND OUT

WHO CRANKED JOSIE CLIFFORD'S NECK.

WHAT'S TO FIND OUT?

YOU SAID YOURSELF SHE WAS RUNNING SCARED.

THOMPSON SHOWS UP IN TOWN. NEXT DAY, SHE TURNS UP DEAD.

AND IT'S THE SAME DAY THAT

SHE WENT TO GO VISIT EDDIE ZEBINSKY.

THAT'S THE CONNECTION WE WANT TO LOOK INTO.

ALL RIGHT, GO AHEAD. WHAT'S YOUR GAME PLAN?

I'M GOING TO GO UNDERCOVER AT HIS PLACE.

WHAT THE HELL?

TYPHOON, WHAT YOU DOING, MAN?

TELL ME, SPORTY, WHAT YOU THINK I BE DOING?

HEY, HEY, MAN. REMEMBER WHAT YOU SAID, MAN?

YOU CAN'T BE THUMPING ON ME.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE MESSING WITH YOUR PAROLE, MAN.

MY PAROLE'S IN THE TOILET, JOSIE IS DEAD,

THE POLICE ARE AFTER ME... ALL BECAUSE OF YOU.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, TYPHOON?

MAN, I TOLD YOU I HEARD WHERE SHE WAS STAYING.

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE GOING TO KILL HER.

I DIDN'T KILL HER. YOU DID.

HEY, MAN... NO WAY, MAN. ARE YOU CRAZY?

I WAS JUST DOING YOU A FAVOR, TYPHOON,

TELLING YOU WHERE SHE WAS.

YOU KILLED JOSIE,

SAME AS IF YOU STRANGLED HER YOURSELF.

YOU KNEW SHE WAS GOING TO DIE,

BUT YOU DIDN'T DO NOTHING TO SAVE HER.

TYPHOON, THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO, MAN!

SHE GOT HERSELF KILLED BECAUSE SHE WAS TOO GREEDY.

SHE DOUBLE-CROSSED YOU, MAN. SHE'S PUT YOU IN JAIL.

I KNOW THAT!

BUT IT DON'T MEAN I WANTED HER DEAD.

I STILL LOVED HER. WHAT?!

YOU AIN'T GONNA GET OUT OF THIS ROOM ALIVE,

NOT UNLESS YOU TELL ME WHO KILLED HER.

TELL ME WHO IT WAS, SPORTY.

L-L-LOOK, TYPHOON, MAN, I CAN'T TELL YOU, MAN.

THERE'S DIFFERENT WAYS OF DYING.

SOME HURTS MORE THAN OTHERS,

LIKE BEING IN A GRUDGE MATCH

WHEN ONE BOXER'S WINNING REAL EASY...

SOMETIMES HE HAS TO KEEP WORKING

ON THE OTHER GUY, BEATING ON HIM,

NOT TRYING TO KNOCK HIM OUT,

JUST... JUST PROPPING HIM UP

SO HE CAN PUNISH HIM SOME MORE.

TYPHOON, MAN, I CAN'T TELL YOU, MAN...

I COULD BEAT ON YOU FOR MAYBE A HALF HOUR, SPORTY.

I MEAN, MY ARMS MIGHT GET REAL TIRED,

BUT IT'S NOTHING LIKE

WHAT YOUR BONES ARE GOING TO FEEL.

YOU'RE GONNA BE CHOKING ON YOUR OWN BLOOD

AND CRYING AND BEGGING FOR ME TO STOP.

BUT I AIN'T GONNA,

NOT UNLESS YOU SAY THAT NAME.

WHO KILLED JOSIE?

ALL DONE?

MR. ZEBINSKY WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU IN HIS OFFICE.

RIGHT NOW?

YES. WOULD YOU FOLLOW ME?

MR. ZEBINSKY, DEE DEE McLEAN.

HI, DEE DEE. HOW YOU DOING?

GOOD, THANK YOU. NICE TO MEET YOU.

MAKE YOURSELF COMFORTABLE.

CAN I GET YOU ANYTHING?

YEAH. A DAY SHIFT WITH SUNDAYS OFF.

THAT'S GOOD. I LIKE A WOMAN WHO KNOWS WHAT SHE WANTS.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE A LITTLE OVERSTAFFED RIGHT NOW,

AND I CAN'T JUSTIFY BRINGING YOU ON BOARD

WITHOUT LETTING SOMEBODY ELSE GO.

OH, WELL, I WOULDN'T WANT YOU TO DO THAT...

UNLESS YOU WERE CONSIDERING IT ANYWAY.

I WAS JUST ABOUT TO GO OVER TO CHEZ MAURICE

FOR A LATE SUPPER.

MAYBE YOU MIGHT WANT TO COME ALONG,

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL SITUATION.

OK. SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN.

MY CAR'S RIGHT OUTSIDE.

JUST LET ME FRESHEN UP.

GOING FOR A LATE NIGHT SUPPER AT CHEZ MAURICE.

DON'T STAY OUT TOO LATE.

MR. Z.!

YEAH, WHAT IS IT?

Typhoon: SOMEBODY RUN INTO YOUR CAR.

WHAT?

SOMEBODY RUN INTO YOUR CAR.

LET'S GO FOR A RIDE.

HOLD IT!

WHAT HAPPENED? YOU OK?

I DON'T KNOW. SOME JUNKIE TRIED TO MUG ME.

WHERE YOU TAKING ME?

TO SEE MR. Z. WHERE'S HE?

SOMEPLACE PRIVATE.

AFTER LAST NIGHT,

HE'S BECOME A LITTLE MORE SECURITY CONSCIENTIOUS.

I'M TAKING THAT LIFT NOW, HUNTER.

DON'T YOU THINK YOU'RE IN ENOUGH TROUBLE AS IT IS?

I'LL BE TAKING YOUR GUN, TOO.

NO, YOU WON'T.

I GOT ONE MURDER BEEF HANGING OVER MY HEAD ALREADY.

YOU DON'T WANT TO BE NUMBER 2, DO YOU?

EASY. 2 FINGERS.

TAKE IT OUT REAL SLOW.

YOU OUGHT TO THINK THIS OVER, TYPHOON.

YOU'RE MAKING A BIG MISTAKE HERE.

I'VE BEEN THINKING IT OVER... 8 YEARS.

EDDIE ZEBINSKY IS THE SCUM THAT KILLED MY MANAGER.

WELL, HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?

I KIND OF INSPIRED SPORTY JAMES INTO TELLING ME WHO IT WAS.

LOOK, YOU DON'T HAVE TO KILL ZEBINSKY.

GIVE ME MY GUN BACK, AND I'LL ARREST HIM.

WHAT YOU GOING TO BUST HIM ON? YOU AIN'T GOT NO EVIDENCE.

YOU THINK SPORTY JAMES IS GOING TO COOPERATE WITH YOU?

YOU THINK HE'S GOING TO TESTIFY IN COURT?

YOU OUGHT TO BE THANKING ME, HUNTER.

I'M GONNA MAKE YOUR WHOLE LIFE A LOT SIMPLER.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, TYPHOON.

IF YOU KILL EDDIE ZEBINSKY,

YOU'LL SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE BEHIND BARS,

IF YOU DON'T GET KILLED FIRST.

IT DON'T MATTER NO MORE. HE KILLED JOSIE.

I DON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS. IT'S WORTH IT

JUST TO BLOW HIM STRAIGHT TO HELL.

IT WAS A COP, EDDIE.

SHE WAS TALKING TO A COP IN THE HALL.

I'M SURE OF IT.

I COULDN'T PLACE HIM AT FIRST,

BUT IT WAS THAT GUY THAT GOT SUSPENDED.

REMEMBER? HE BEAT UP SOMEBODY?

HIS PICTURE WAS IN ALL THE PAPERS.

Typhoon: KEEP DRIVING.

Hunter: FORGET IT. McCALL IS BACK THERE.

KEEP DRIVING, OR I'LL BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF.

I SWEAR I WILL.

MR. Z. IS WAITING FOR YOU ON THE PATIO.

HI. COME ON UP AND HAVE SOME LUNCH.

HI.

HI, DEE DEE.

THAT'S QUITE A CLIMB.

SORRY ABOUT THE INCONVENIENCE,

BUT AFTER LAST NIGHT,

I DECIDED TO TAKE SOME PRECAUTIONS.

WELL, YOU MUST FEEL PRETTY SAFE UP HERE.

UH, YOU WANT A DRINK?

ORANGE JUICE.

HAVE A SEAT.

I HAD MY PEOPLE DO A BACKGROUND CHECK

ON YOU THIS MORNING.

THEY JUST CALLED ME BACK WITH THE REPORT.

SO, WHAT'S THE VERDICT?

YOUR REFERENCES ARE ALL GOOD.

YOU COME HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, LADY.

DOES THAT MEAN I GET THE JOB?

WELL, NOT QUITE. I'M STILL A LITTLE PARANOID

AND I GOT TO CHECK YOUR I.D. PERSONALLY.

HOLDING A POLICE OFFICER CAPTIVE

IS THE SAME THING AS KIDNAPPING.

SHUT UP WITH THAT CRAP! ONE MORE WORD OUT OF YOU,

AND YOU'RE GOING TO BE A DEAD POLICE OFFICER.

WHAT IS THIS?

ANSWER ME! WHO ELSE KNOWS YOU'RE HERE?

I DO.

Typhoon: GO AHEAD. GO FOR IT.

I DON'T MIND SHOOTING YOU IN SELF-DEFENSE.

I'M GOING TO TAKE A CRUISE UPSTAIRS.

YOU HANG HERE.

Dee Dee: DON'T KILL HIM.

LET ME ARREST HIM. DON'T SHOOT HIM.

Eddie: LISTEN TO HER, MAN. DO AS SHE SAYS.

SHE'LL PUT ME IN JAIL. YOU DON'T WANT TO KILL ME.

YOU WANT TO BET?

Typhoon: YOU KILLED JOSIE,

AND YOU PUT ME BEHIND BARS FOR 8 YEARS.

OH, GOD.

SAVE YOUR BREATH.

YOU'RE GONNA TALK TO HIM UP CLOSE IN JUST ONE SECOND.

YOU KILLED MY MANAGER. I WANT TO HEAR YOU SAY IT.

YES! YES! I KILLED YOUR MAN...

NO. IT WAS RASCOE... JERRY RASCOE, MAN.

JERRY RASCOE. HE WORKED FOR YOU.

YEAH, BUT HE WAS JUST SUPPOSED

TO ROUGH HIM UP, MAN.

I DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS GONNA KILL HIM.

HE WENT KIND OF CRAZY, I GUESS.

SO IT WASN'T YOUR FAULT.

NO, IT WASN'T MY FAULT, MAN.

AND YOU DIDN'T KILL JOSIE EITHER.

NO! IT WAS RASCOE.

YOU GONNA TELL ME RASCOE PUT OUT A CONTRACT ON ME, TOO?

NO.

NO!

YOU'RE NOT WORTH SHOOTING.

I AIN'T GOIN' BACK TO PRISON

FOR WASTING A PIECE OF SLUDGE LIKE YOU.

WHOA!

RASCOE. THANK GOD.

HE'S WRONG.

YOU'RE WORTH KILLING.

I DIDN'T MEAN IT, MAN. HE HAD A GUN TO MY HEAD.

MAN, I DIDN'T MEAN IT.

HOLD IT!

Typhoon: SAY, WHERE YOU TAKING ME, ANYWAY?

RIGHT HERE.

Typhoon: HUNTER...

I DIDN'T THINK

I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO LOOK AT YOU AGAIN.

TYPHOON, YOU OUGHT TO BE HAPPY TO SEE ME.

I GOT SOME GOOD NEWS FOR YOU.

BY THE WAY,

YOUR PAROLE OFFICER IS ON HIS WAY DOWN.

OH, YEAH? I THINK I OUGHT

TO TALK TO A LAWYER FIRST.

WHAT IS IT?

IT'S A PARDON FROM THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE.

YOU'RE A FREE MAN.

YOU TRYING TO MESS WITH MY HEAD OR SOMETHING?

IS THIS A JIVE POLICE JOKE?

Dee Dee: IT'S NO JOKE. TAKE A LOOK.

ALL THE CHARGES HAVE BEEN DROPPED.

IT IS REAL, AIN'T IT?

YES, IT IS.

IT'S REALLY A PARDON.

I CAN WALK RIGHT OUT OF HERE.

NOT EVEN A THANK YOU, HUH, TYPHOON?

I NEVER KILLED NOBODY.

I PAID 8 YEARS FOR YOUR MISTAKE.

IF I HADN'T TRACKED DOWN EDDIE ZEBINSKY,

HE'D BE OUT ON THE STREET RIGHT NOW.

SO, WHAT DO I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR?

FOR FLYING TO SACRAMENTO TO TALK TO THE GOVERNOR.

HEY, WE GOT YOU OFF. YOU COULD HAVE GONE DOWN

FOR KIDNAPPING OR ASSAULT AND BATTERY.

VIOLATION OF PAROLE OR POSSESSION OF A FIREARM.

I USED A FIREARM TO SAVE HER LIFE.

YEAH, I KNOW THAT. I TOLD THAT TO THE GOVERNOR. 764 00:45:
