Now, hunter what's the story on the Hernandez case?

Well Hernandez didn't show up, but we got ruiz.

Good, let someone else grill him.

I want you and riggheti to pick this guy up

before the da has a kitten.

That's Ken lord.

He's the vp of a local company.

He's been skimming on a city contract.

The judge gave him a nice, high bail.

And he disappeared.

They can't make the case without him.

His wife works at Jean's health and massage spa

check that out.

Wait a minute.

The bail bondsman is John MacArthur.

That's the guy.

What a dirtball this guy is.

So what is it Hawkins more?

Yes sir, eight more cases.

And there's osgood's case load and webb's.

W-W-Webb?

Webb was that?

Yes, and some I haven't even brought up from bunko yet.

And you can put riggheti's name on the pile as of this morning.

Why are they all being dumped on Metro?

Are we a landfill or something?

What's the, uh, prospectus on this bar robber situation?

There was another hit last night.

Yeah, they're comin' quick and fast.

We've got to put a priority tag on this one.

Brian was working with me.

There's a lot of leg work on this one.

And he went out this morning.

Are we only healthy people left in this building?

You need help on this one.

Let me see who's available.

Visit with veraville?

He's down too.

What about, uh, Smith or baker?

They went down yesterday.

Captain

Oh, no.

Hey, webb.

I hear you're on the sick list.

Yeah, you could say that.

Yeah, you don't look to good.

Listen, uh, you wouldn't want to sell me those phantom

of the opera tickets now, would ya?

That's Friday.

I'll be better by Friday.

You're not gonna be better by Friday.

You'll be out at least a week.

How do you know?

Because I've had the flu.

I'm an expert on the flu.

I know all about the flu.

Besides, everybody who's had the flu here has been out a week.

So how about it?

I don't think so.

Look, I'll give you two rams seats for 'em.

Ram tickets?

That's an insult.

Yeah, you're right, it is.

Ok.

I'll give you two raider tickets,

two good raider tickets for the opera seats.

You know, it's a benefit performance, hunter.

It's black tie.

It is?

Yeah, it is.

Oh.

Well, that's ok.

I'll borrow Charlie's tuxedo.

How about it?

Top righthand drawer on my desk, ok?

Top righthand drawer top righthand drawer.

Good webb.

Yeah, uh, hope you feel better, webb.

Peter, you'll do fine.

Don't worry.

Listen, think of it as research.

You familiarize yourself with your case.

You make a list of priorities.

And then you talk to your leads.

Oh, Chris.

I've got two tickets to phantom of the opera Friday night.

You want to go?

Oh, god, I would love to.

I've been dying to see this.

Yeah, it's black tie.

Well, I don't know how I would look in a black tie.

But I bet I can find something.

I bet you can.

Can you imagine Hawkins black tie?

I hear Robert guillome is excellent.

Yeah, I did too.

But they screwed up.

I think they put somethin' over is face.

You can't even see who the hell it is.

Anyway, Friday night don't forget.

Excuse me.

Um, sergeant novack.

I think, um

Come on.

Come on.

Close the door.

Stay.

Ok, you got your man.

Now pay me.

It's 400 light.

You were late.

Don't play that with me, Mac.

Look duff, I've got expenses.

Besides, what's $400 to you.

You'd probably just drop it at the track.

Hey, you shut your mouth.

You don't know me that well.

This is my living.

Don't mess with it.

Right.

All right.

Here.

Boy, you excops are a little heavyhanded, aren't ya?

You want to earn some real money, hotshot?

Find him.

Yeah?

Huh, tell me about this guy?

Ken lord you find him.

I'll marry you.

Hey, look I got to have him.

I'll give you 15 grand if you find him.

15 grand for this guy?

The pot's a little bigger than usual, isn't it?

Yeah.

I don't trust you, Mac.

I want a third of it up front.

Come on, Duffy.

You don't have a choice, Mac.

You want me to bring this clown in.

I want five grand now.

You disgust me, Mac.

Good.

Excuse me.

Sergeant hunter LAPD I'd like

to ask you a couple questions if that's ok.

All you cops have the same aura.

This isn't about Lois lord again, is it?

Uh, yes, it is.

Why do you ask?

Because there was another cop in here earlier looking

for Ken the husband from hell.

Really, does the other police officer have a uniform?

No jeans kind of sloppy like you.

Uhhuh.

And did you tell this other sloppy police

officer where to find Lois?

Sure did.

Yeah, well, where might that be?

Well, if you really must know the hot dog

stand down on magnolia.

Uh near Whitaker?

That's it.

I know where that is.

Thanks very much.

Now, uh, what is your name?

Jean.

Jean, well, thanks very much, Jean appreciate your help.

I'll let you pose the questions.

And I'll just stay in the background

if that's all right with you.

That's fine.

You know, I'm surprised at how much of this

is coming back to me.

Hey, watch it big, blind bat.

Hi, I'm sergeant novak and this is officer Hawkins.

Were you the one who placed the call about the burglary

last night?

No, that was my boss.

But I was on last night.

We're making a followup.

Can you please tell me what happened?

The place was robbed.

That's what happened.

Will, you cool it, joanne?

Nothing happened.

I closed up last night left about, uh, 2:15 this morning.

When I opened up today, there was nothing in the safe.

No forced entry?

No, I checked both doors front and back.

All right, well, can you have

your boss call me at this number?

He'll have to make a formal statement.

That's it?

We're trying to hit all the bars in the series.

You mean, there's been a string of these things?

Eight others in four weeks.

And whoever's doing it leaves no trace.

That's right.

What are the cops doing about it?

Will you calm down, joanne?

Yeah, you guys got a theory or anything?

I'm not at Liberty.

Had to be someone who knows the place.

Or, uh, someone familiar with this, uh, type of place.

What do you mean this, uh, type of place?

Listen, we'll catch whoever it was.

It's just a matter of time.

Peter, let's go.

Yes.

Right.

This isn't going to work, is it?

Peter, people are a little more complex than computers.

Let's go to the bar that was hit before this one.

Jean said that vibrations for January are discordant.

Oh, Jean's a lunatic.

You hang around with her.

And your brain will explode.

She only wants what's best for us.

Honey, I've got to think about stayin' alive stayin' away

from Stevens and away from the da.

I know sweetie aww.

Yeah, don't mess sweetie's hair.

I want him to look just like his picture.

Who are you?

Mac is very unhappy you skipped bail.

Maybe you better come with me, huh?

Oh!

Ah!

No!

No!

Go Kenny!

Go!

Go!

I'll get you.

Get gone!

Go!

Go!

Go Kenny!

You go!

Go!

Go!

Knock it off.

Get off of him.

Come on.

Let's go.

Come on.

Come back here.

Hey!

Duffy?

How you doin', hunter?

So what are you doin' here, duff?

My job just like you.

Are you after Ken lord?

Yeah.

Big payday for me on this one, hunter.

I saw you're working for McCarthy.

Yeah, him and a few others.

It's freelance, you know, piece work.

Yeah, I haven't seen you since the day you left the force.

Yeah, as a matter of fact, it was the day I left the force.

I felt sorry for you that day, Tom, you know,

I thought you got a raw deal.

It's all right, man.

I don't need you to feel sorry for me.

So how's it goin'?

You mean the gambling?

It's like they tell me.

It's one day at a time.

Some days are better than others.

Ah, you were a hell of a cop, Tom.

But I got to ask you to stay out of this one.

I guess I could say the same thing to you, couldn't I?

So where are you livin'?

I left the beach.

It got too hot for me down there.

I got a little place over a music shop

down near Cole and Vermont.

Yeah, yeah, I know that area.

Nice to see you.

Yeah.

If I told you you had a beautiful body,

would you hold it against me?

Give the girl a break why don't ya, bud?

No, don't.

I like him.

Has he asked you to nip him in the bud, yet?

Well, we haven't actually been introduced.

Bud Crawford.

Hi, my name is Mary Ellen.

And your phone number?

Geez, on a handshake.

On a wing on a prayer anyway I can get it.

You're cute.

Did you hear that, Hank?

Don't encourage him.

We got to be careful with this guy.

You see, he's always a little dr

a little drunk.

Yeah, Hank, I love you.

But you've got to get some new short jokes.

Bar nine...

That's features now neighborhoods...

Ahh!

Ok, mom, I will see you at home at 11:00.

Ok, bye, bye.

How you doin'?

Hi, Allison is sick.

So I have to go pick her up and, uh,

take her home so she can stay.

Gee, I'm sorry.

But, you know, I was going to have

to ask you to sit on Lois lord for me

until I pick up Hernandez.

Sergeant novak, hunter I've got

a new approach on these bar burglaries.

Peter can do it for you.

I'm only going to be gone about an hour, ok?

Uh, yeah.

Ok, Peter, come on over here just a second.

I want you to do me a favor.

Ok.

I want you to go to this address.

Diaz and Oliver are staking out Lois lord.

You're to relieve them.

If she moves, I want you to call me.

A stake out?

That's right.

Absolutely.

Good.

Got you.

Wake up call, Hernandez.

How's it goin'?

Uh, pretty good.

Thomas northeast robbery.

Hunter wants me to relieve ya.

What happened to sergeant novak?

Her little girl ok?

Oh, she's fine.

Any movement?

I'm afraid I have nothing to report.

Ok, you're relieved.

Huh, uh, I better check the back before I go.

Yeah, right.

Thanks.

Give me the money, now.

Sweetie this is my only day off.

Don't you don't you want to go somewhere, huh?

Do somethin' fun, huh?

Maybe we could do something fun without goin' anywhere.

I know.

But I don't want to be cooped up in here the whole day.

Come here, baby.

Ah!

Don't make a move, Ken.

Keep your shirt on, Lois.

I sure hate to say it.

You lousy pig.

You leave us alone.

Shut up Lois.

That's right, Lois shut up.

No reason for her to be here.

Yeah, take off.

I'm not leavin'.

Yes, you are.

Go tell the attorney.

Yeah, give me an outside line, will ya?

Go on.

Go on!

Shut the door behind you.

Bail bonds.

Yeah, I got lord.

Duffy, you got lord?

Great!

Where are you?

Taluga motel alvarado and Lucas room 216.

You just sit there.

I'll be there in an hour.

Hey, Mac just bring my money.

Hmm, don't worry, buddy.

You earned it.

Yeah.

Duffy's got him at a motel.

Really?

Where is it?

He he was a tall, heavy set, balding long, red hair

black jacket driving a black sedan.

Peter, Lois was our only lead to Ken lord.

I am just mortified.

How could I make it up to you?

Look, find novak.

Both of you work very hard at finding

out who's robbing these bars, ok?

What are we waitin' for?

You're waitin' for your bail bondsman.

I'm waitin' for my payoff.

How much are you gettin' to bring me in?

What's the difference?

It's a lot more honest work than embezzling.

I didn't take that money, you know?

Yeah?

Then why did you plead guilty?

I took the rap for my boss Mr. Stephens.

He owns the company.

He told me he'd pay me off big if I did the time for him.

Then the da went for the maximum time six years.

I can't do that.

That's why I skipped bail.

You're lucky i'm bringin' you in.

If I were your boss, i'd be very unhappy with you.

No!

Ok, everybody, thanks very much.

Oh, and, uh don't forget to give me the type

on this second blood sample here, ok?

Sure thing, sergeant hunter.

Thanks again.

Mr. Willis?

Thanks for your help appreciate it.

Do you have a business card?

I may want to talk to you a little bit later.

Sure, if I can help.

Yeah, appreciate that.

Sorry about your place.

Oh, lookie here sergeant hunter.

How ya doin', John?

I'm doin' just fine.

Business is great thanks to your friendly boys in blue.

Hey, um, this isn't your neighborhood.

What's up?

Ran into duff a while ago.

He said he worked for you.

He said you had him lookin' for Ken lord.

Is that right?

Yeah, that's right.

Duff's the best there is.

But heck, you know that.

Where is he?

Well, last time I saw Duffy he took $5,000 of my money

and, uh, promised to deliver lord.

Lord's dead.

What?

That's not funny, hunter.

No, it isn't.

I'm surprised you didn't know that, John.

The body's been in the morgue now for sometime.

Hey, you don't think Duffy killed lord, do you?

Oh, don't be stupid.

Now why would he do that?

Who else was after lord?

Why are you're asking me?

It could've been anybody.

The guy carried a big price tag.

John, who else did you hire to find lord?

Nobody.

Come on, John.

I swear.

That's the truth.

I hired duff.

That's all.

Let me tell you somethin'.

If you're lyin' to me, you're gonna be in trouble.

Come on, hunter.

Hey, you're a liar, John.

You do know that, don't ya?

I put $800 in change in the safe before closing up.

Was there anything that happened last night

that stands out in your mind?

Anything out of the ordinary?

Not really.

The regulars were here and that new girl.

Bud was hitting on her, of course.

Everyone was gone about an hour before closing.

You've never seen this girl in here before?

No, I'd have remembered.

She's a looker.

So this woman came in with bud?

No, but they always go for him.

He's a little guy, you know, a dwarf

sure fire with the ladies.

I remember him.

Is he a regular?

Yeah, he's been uh he's been comin'

around now for about three months.

You know it would really be helpful

if we had a list of everyone who was in the bar last night.

Ok.

Give me a couple hours.

The clientele that's the only thing

we haven't factored in yet.

Yes, we should find out whether anyone on the bartender's list

has been seen at the other bars that were hit.

As soon as we get back, I'm going to start making calls.

A lot of phone work.

Let me at it.

Have a seat, Jean, what's on your mind.

Sergeant hunter, Lois and I share

a strong bond from previous lifetimes.

I understand that.

We've always had very close ties.

Now, look, Jean, you called and said you wanted to talk to me.

What's it about?

Lois needs to talk to you.

She was with Ken right before they shot him.

She's really scared.

She's not making sense all the time.

Now now, where's Lois right now?

She's at my spa.

She won't leave.

Ok, let's go see her right now.

Anyway, he gave me my money.

And then he shoved me out the door.

I should never have left Kenny.

I knew something was going to happen.

Ok, honey, just settle down now.

And when duff came into the room, what did he say?

What did he do?

Well, he didn't really seem to say much of anything

except to get out.

He was in such a hurry to make a phone call.

Wait a minute.

He made a telephone call?

Yeah.

Did you hear the conversation?

I don't know what he said earlier was talking to.

I was just so worried about Kenny.

I was in a rush to get to the attorney.

I know.

Settle down now.

Jean, I need your telephone.

Sure.

Thank you very much.

How do I get an outside line?

Punch the black button and dial nine.

Yeah, nine.

Hello?

Mr. Willis, sergeant hunter.

Hello, sergeant.

How are you?

Listen, do me a favor, will you?

I want you to check and see if there was any outgoing phone

calls from Ken lord's room the night he was killed.

Well, I'll check the files hold on.

There was one outgoing call made.

Really?

What was that number?

1013.

Thank you very much.

Bail bonds.

You set me up you scum.

Duff?

What the hell happened?

Where are you?

You know what happened, Mac you had a little plan.

I find lord for a cheap five grand.

You set both of us up to be hit for a nice cut.

That's crazy.

I was waiting for you to show at the motel.

The next thing I know two hitters blow us up.

They didn't get me like you planned.

Duff, I swear.

When I got there, there were there

were cops all over the place.

You're a liar.

I told you i'm the best there is.

Now, I want my money.

Yeah.

Sure, sure duff.

You tell your partner I am going straight to the cops

if he doesn't bring me my money.

Now take down this address.

He knows.

He wants you to bring him the money

or he's going to the cops.

I don't like this.

I don't like this at all.

Give me the address.

Come on.

Listen, at this place I just talked to,

they've seen the little guy every Saturday

night for the past two months.

Well that's great, Peter, but we've got a lot like that

at least seven so far.

And we just don't have the manpower to stake

out every single one.

So let let's just finish the list, ok?

I tell you.

I think we've got this case solved.

You see that's the beauty of it.

Every bar that was hit has this same feature.

But of all the places he's been spotted since the last.

Ok, ok Peter I understand.

What do you think?

Ok, mister, you're on.

What will you have?

About two to five, I think.

You have the right to remain silent.

Oh, please, I have always want to do this.

I'm arresting you on suspicion of burglary.

You have the right to remain silent.

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

can and will be used against you in a court of law.

Duffy?

Here it is, Mr. Stephens $10,000.

Good, now we all understand what's happening here?

Correct?

Yes, sir.

As soon as I throw the money down at his feet,

you open up on him.

As a matter of fact, I'll open up on him.

You think this bum's going to be looking for trouble?

Yeah, this punk means business.

It's not him I'm worried about.

But we gotta get this problem handled.

You know, he's got a lot of nerve pullin'

a stunt like this.

It will be good exercise for you boys.

Berea, don't miss.

This is r20 Charles.

I need a three unit backup and the corner of Laurel

and coldwater my eta is five minutes.

Give me a foot long everything on it.

Hold it.

Hey, you bag of pus where's my 10 grand?

You're the wise guy, huh?

Yeah, I'm the wiseguy.

It's to bad we missed you at the motel.

Yeah, well, I won't miss you.

Now, where's my money?

You don't think you can get out of here with this.

Yeah, I know I am.

Now you two just relax.

And you hand me the money.

Police!

Drop it right there!

Don't make a move.

Get back against the wall.

Come on.

Get your hands up.

Move!

Get your hands up.

Both of you.

Duffy, drop the gun.

I can't do that, hunter.

I'm not leavin' without my 10 grand.

You're under arrest for obstruction of justice.

Now, give me that gun.

Arrest him for threatenin' our lives.

He tried to kill me.

And he's got my money.

All right, we're gonna stay here 'til back up comes.

How about that?

Don't move or I'll shoot ya.

Hook him up.

Give me that.

What the hell is wrong with you?

I was going to kill that guy.

Yeah, I know you were.

And I was gonna shoot you all for $10,000.

What are you?

Nuts?

Hey, this is what I do.

This is what I am.

Yeah, this is what you are, Tom.

What is it with you?

Guns and money now?

Take a look around.

You happy with yourself?

What the hell do you know about it?

Do you have any idea what it was like to walk into a police

station and have people talkin' behind your back sayin'

there goes a dirty cop.

Yeah, I got a problem.

Everybody's got problems.

But cops aren't allowed to have problems some do.

Then there was that drug bust.

Oh, I know all about the drug bust.

No, you don't know!

I was a gambler.

So all the fingers pointed at me me!

Do you want to know something?

I was innocent.

But that's not important.

I just couldn't do it anymore.

And I was all alone.

You were all alone, huh?

So now you're the victim.

Is that it?

Well, congratulations, Tom.

You're a victim.

Now what?

All alone.

Let me tell you something.

There are more police officers in that department

willing to stand by you than you realize.

Believe me.

I know that to be true.

You know your mistake?

You never stayed used those friends

to help you fight those ia bastards.

That's what's happened.

And now, look at the life you're livin'.

Don't you think I know that?

I think about that every day of my life.

I envy you, hunter.

You want to get your life back, Tom?

Find the Tom Duffy I know that's in there because he's in there.

You find him.

You got to find him.

Well, well, well, it's times like these when i'm

grateful that we have female officers in this department.

You are a site for sore eyes.

Thanks, Scarlet's ok?

Oh, it's beautiful.

Look at this a matched set.

Charlie, your tux fits great.

Yeah.

Hey, you look great.

You look great.

Thanks

Hawkins wa wait.

No, no more.

I'm only the conduit, captain.

It's taken me a while to catch up

on my other responsibilities.

Hawkins something I want to say to you.

Yes?

Congratulations.

You did a great job.

Well, thank you, captain.

Hawkins, well done.

Sergeant hunter.

Well, I believe you and I have a play to go to.

Rick, I hate to say this.

But I think i'm going to be sick.

Oh, no.

I don't believe this.

I'd love to.
