Original subtitles

Cairo, Tel Aviv, Hong Kong, London,

New York, now Los Angeles.

Hmm.

It sounds like you travelled almost everywhere in the world.

I have.

In all my travels I've never met a woman as beautiful as you.

You know it's funny, even though we just met,

I feel like I've known you a long time.

Another round?

Two more.

No.

Nothing for me.

Can we have the check please?

Yes, sir.

You know I'm having such a wonderful time,

I'd like to continue the evening.

Would you like to go somewhere else?

Why don't we go my room and order drinks from there?

Your room looks exactly like mine.

With one big exception, my room has you in it.

You're gonna have to give me a minute to freshen up.

One minute.

It's a beautiful night.

Come on, let's have it, the wallet.

What is this?

Paula.

The money, I said the money.

Please, let me stand up.

His money's in his left coat pocket.

Tough luck, sucker.

So how does Allison like it?

Oh she likes it just fine.

It's just that it's a tough school it's very competitive

and I don't know if that's good for a kid her age.

How is she doing in relationship

to the other kids in the class?

Well, she's a good student.

Her best subjects are reading and spelling.

Her strongest subject is writing.

She's not very good at math.

Well that's ok, I wasn't very good in math at her age either.

In fact, I'm not very good in math now.

You are gonna pay the check though, right?

Yeah, but I'll have to ask the bill up for me.

So it's a long day for her, isn't it?

Yes.

She's up at six, she has to be on the bus by seven.

She get's home around 4:30 and I let her play for an hour.

She has dinner, does her homework and goes to bed.

So what you're saying is, uh, you miss her?

Yeah, I do.

Yeah, she's growing up so fast.

She's not my little girl anymore.

Well I like your outfit very much this evening.

Thank you.

I also like the way you look.

Sergeant hunter?

You have a telephone call.

Excuse me.

The female suspect brings a man back to her room.

Then her male accomplice comes out and pulls the robberies.

They hit two places tonight.

The first one's over at the airport lodge.

It was an Egyptian tourist.

They beat him up pretty good but he survived.

This guy, I think fought back and, he didn't.

His name is Lawrence rossi, he's from Cleveland, Ohio.

Flew in this afternoon.

Maid found the body.

Looks like he fell during the fight,

I guess, and struck the back of his head.

He's got a big knot there.

Now is Metro handling this investigation, Charlie?

No, we're not going to handle it,

but we're going to give all the support we can to vice.

Chris.

Al, hi.

What are you doing here?

From what I understand we're providing

support for vice on this one.

Well, al novak's gonna handle it from the vice end.

Make sure that he gets all the Metro

officers that he needs, ok?

For you I got something special.

Remember our old friend, Jackie "the eel" Doyle.

Yeah, I put him away two years ago.

He escaped from chino mens.

On his way to la supposedly.

He's all yours.

Now look, the hotel managers around the airport

are really upset about these muggings, so let's

get on it, huh?

I'll see you tomorrow.

How you doing, hunter?

Real good, al.

How about yourself?

Oh, hey, never better.

So, it's like you two were on the town for the evening, huh?

Nice outfit, Chris.

So what's the deal here?

You two seeing each other again, huh?

Yep.

Now you both talk about the case.

I think that would be the best thing to do right now, al.

Oh, sure, Chris, yeah sure.

I just think you can do a lot better, that's all.

You know something, al.

Ok, stop it.

Both of you stop.

The case, please?

Ok.

So, what lead would you like me to follow now?

Why don't you check into the deceased background.

His family, employment record, et cetera.

I'm sure you can handle that, right?

Certainly.

Ok, good.

Stick to the job.

I'll see you later.

Good night, Chris.

I'll want to tell you something, hunter.

I've been involved in this investigation from the getgo.

So don't try and take the case away from me,

and don't go off on your own.

Just give me the support devane promised me,

and you stay out of my way.

Excuse me.

Larry rossi headed up our Cleveland office

and, uh, there's just no replacing a man like him.

We heard about the circumstances

surrounding his death.

That he was discovered in a woman's hotel room.

Does the news really need to know about this?

Well I'm afraid they already do.

See Larry rossi was one of my best friends.

His wife, she'll just be crushed by this.

Must be something we could do to sort of, keep things quiet.

Afraid we can't help you with that.

Oh, that's, that's a terrible shame.

Because Larry rossi was not the kind

of man to chase around on his wife.

Well I guess he just took picked

the wrong woman to break form with, huh?

Excuse me, but if you had known Larry

rossi I don't think you'd say that.

Well Mr. Abbott, I don't he meant anything by it,

believe me.

Nevertheless we're asking our board of directors

to establish a reward for the capture

of Larry's killer, $50,000.

Mr. Olsen that'll help out a lot, thank you.

Well Larry, uh, Larry was family to us

and we want his killer just as much as you guys do.

Hi, Alice Doyle?

Yes?

I'm sergeant Chris novak, LAPD.

I'm looking for your son.

Oh, yeah, I heard he escaped yesterday.

The boy's been nothing but trouble since he was 13.

Yeah, do you have any idea where he might be?

He doesn't have many friends, never did.

No one would put up with him for very long.

Does he still keep in touch with Spence Martin?

Why do you ask?

They were partners, weren't they?

I don't know.

You like boxing, Mrs. Doyle.

I love sports.

I watch 24 hours a day with cable.

Helps pass the time.

Jack used to box, didn't he?

A long time ago, but he wasn't very good at it.

Well I won't keep you any longer.

I would appreciate, though, if you'd

give me call if you hear anything from Jack?

Oh, uh, I'll do that.

But I, I don't think he'll be showing up here.

Thank you.

Yes, this could be them.

She was a blonde, beautiful blonde.

But not very nice.

Her boyfriend was even worse.

So you'd recognize either one them again if you saw them.

Yes.

I have a very good memory for faces.

Well that's good.

When you feel better we'd like you to come downtown,

look at a lineup perhaps.

Yes.

But you'll have to catch them soon.

I return home in three days.

Well, we'll do that.

Mr. Farid, thanks for your time, appreciate it.

Feel better.

Thank you.

Yeah, the desk clerk says red hair, now farid says blonde.

So the girl's a quick change artist, what can I say.

Yeah, also, why would our hitter

suddenly kill one of his victims?

Come on, hunter.

It was bound to happen sooner or later.

Maybe there's two mugging teams at work here.

What?

What you talking about?

A copycat?

Sure. Come on.

Afraid you're wrong.

I've had this case wired from the top.

It's the same woman in all cases,

blonde, redhead, brunette.

Rossi was not killed by a copycat.

I know the perp's m.O.

Yeah, well I think it might be a copycat.

Oh, that's right, you're the expert in blondes, aren't you?

Let's roll.

Hold it Doyle, police!

I'll go around and cut him off in the alley.

This is r30 Charles to 114.

R30 go.

I need an air unit in the neighborhood

of 4505 Morris street.

White male suspect, running on foot, northbound.

What are you doing here?

I read the newspaper this afternoon.

Well congratulations.

I mean about Larry rossi of unified

manufacturing being killed.

What about it?

He was killed in the same room you had me check into.

Wasn't me you wanted last night.

You stayed in that room after I left and you killed him.

Didn't you?

You know for a hooker you have a very vivid imagination.

I may be a lot of things, but I'm not a murderer.

You put me in the middle of something

I didn't want to be involved in.

The police will be looking for me.

I didn't bargain on a murder rap.

Take it easy.

I'm not taking anything easy.

I'm going to the cops.

Will you wait a minute, please?

Come here.

Come on.

I can make it up to you, really.

Rick.

How are things going between you and al?

Oh, you know, when you get to know him

he's really a sweetheart.

Look, I feel really bad about this.

You feel bad?

Think of poor al, how tormented he is, working with me.

Well, I'm just glad you're being patient with him.

Oh, yeah.

He really is a good person.

I'm sure he is, Chris.

It's just that his feelings are still hurt.

His feelings are still hurt.

I just don't want you two to fight.

Chris, we're just two men doing what

two men do in a situation like this.

Listen to this.

Ocean waves break below your room,

in a carpet of sea foam and mist.

Indeed, the carmel sea lodge is a vacation paradise.

What are the rates?

$400 a night.

Isn't any a little less expensive for a change?

First class, kiddo.

That's what we promised ourselves.

I don't care what class it is.

I think we better get the hell out of la.

What is the rush?

We got a good thing going here.

A couple more jobs and we can live it up for a week,

in hello, San Francisco.

No.

No, it was a couple more jobs last week.

It's going to catch up with us.

How?

How is it gonna catch up with us?

Half the guys we hit are afraid their wives will

find out they're fooling around.

They don't even call the cops.

Scott, a man's been killed!

The police think we did it.

We're pushing our luck.

I told you before, luck has got nothing to do with it.

A lush 18 hole golf course beckons.

An olympic size, heated swimming pool all year round.

This is our kind of place.

We deserve to stay here.

Who says?

Us, Scott?

Who says we deserve to stay there?

Well, there's a golden book in heaven,

that's got our names written in it.

You do this for me, just one more time.

Al, I hate to tell you this, but I

don't think you're gonna be able keep four teams on the stakeout

forever.

Yeah?

Well, they'll hit again, you'll see.

I know the type, they're greedy.

They're like, uh, ants all over a sugar cube,

never leave it alone.

Uh huh.

Yeah, could I please have a tall soda with some lime?

Thanks a lot.

Rossi's death may have changed them a little bit.

Well, as long as there are idiots like rossi around,

our perps will still be in business.

It's guys like him that jump under the sheets

with some bimbo the second they leave

home deserve what they get.

Mrs. Rossi may not agree with you on that.

In all these years I was married

to Chris, never fooled around once.

Not once.

Believe me there were opportunities.

It's strictly a matter of choice.

Of course, I guess a single guy like you

doesn't understand that.

Well, well, well, look at that, hooker.

Not a hooker, al.

What's wrong with you?

I'm telling you, it's not a hooker.

Hey, hey, believe me.

It's a hooker, I know one when I see one.

Gonna give her a little.

Al, you're making a very big mistake.

Hi.

Hello.

Mind if I join you for a drink?

Sure, go ahead.

Name's al, what's yours?

Judy.

So uh, where you from, al?

Philadelphia.

I'm here on business, sell video equipment.

How about you?

Well, uh, a client was supposed to meet me here.

Apparently they forgot about the appointment.

Oh, I see.

Well, you see I have the weekend off,

so uh, maybe we should get to know each other.

Wait, wait.

You want me to what?

See I'll get room and you just bring the equipment.

Oh.

You know I have a better idea.

What's that?

How 'bout I bust you for solicitation

what are you a cop?

Yeah.

Hi Andrea.

Hunter.

You know her?

What are you doing down here?

I'm at an idiot convention.

How you been?

Fine.

Now listen, if this guy tries to tell you

he's a police officer, don't listen to him.

Hey, knock it off, hunter.

You don't have to be afraid of anything,

he'll never know you told me.

I know where you're coming from.

I don't need the grief.

Well, from what I've heard, Spence Martin's

given you plenty of grief already.

The bastard broke my jaw last year.

Pop me in the face, walked out and left me flat.

Should of called the cops then.

Yeah, well see, you owe him one.

Ginny.

Tell me the truth, where was Spence Martin the night

Jack Doyle held up that gas station?

Ginny.

He threatened to kill me once.

I believe him.

We'll take care of that.

Where was he the night of the robbery?

I told the police that Spence was with me.

But he was driving the getaway car for Jack Doyle.

That's why the money disappeared, Spence hid it.

Where?

Come on, if I knew that, do you think I'd working here?

Where does Spence keep himself these days?

He still thinks he's a boxer.

Works out regular in a gym over in peco.

Thank you.

Don't worry.

So, Mr. Knowitall, how about her, huh?

President of the pta, looking for the school dance committee?

Hey, al, you're the expert on the hookers,

you've already established that.

But if you have any doubts, why don't you

go to bar and troll a little bit?

Yeah.

Thank you.

Hi.

Hi.

What's your name?

Al.

Al novak.

What's yours?

Paula.

So what do you do, al?

Sell heavy equipment.

Heavy equipment?

Yeah.

I see.

Where you from?

Philadelphia.

Oh.

Well do handsome men from Philadelphia

like to buy ladies drinks?

You bet.

Bartender, let's have a refill on this please.

Open your purse.

Wait a minute.

How'd you like to double that ten grand?

Double it?

Yeah, I'd like you to help me out one more time.

What are you, some kind of psycho?

You like killing people?

Tomorrow night at the Arlington hotel out by the airport.

Come on, it's an hour of your time for ten grand.

Well, my wife would kill me if she found me in your room.

Well let's make tonight our special secret.

I want you, al.

Let me freshen a bit, huh?

Sure, honey.

Well that sure didn't take you long.

You're busted, pal.

Hold it right there!

Don't even move!

Up against the wall or you're dead.

You all right, al?

I'm better than all right, I'm ecstatic.

Gentlemen, if you'll turn to your left, please.

Turn to the front, please.

That's him, over there.

The second one from the right?

Yes.

Ok, Bryan, thanks very much.

Thank you very much, Mr. Farid.

I'm gonna have office dorsey take a written statement

from you before you return home to Egypt.

Just make sure Nichols goes right back to lockup.

You got it.

Tell me, what was the woman's real name?

Paula Allen.

I hope when she gets out of prison

she's not so beautiful as now.

Oh, she's going in for murder.

She's gonna be a very old lady when she gets out.

Ah, Mr. Farid, thanks for coming by.

Appreciate your time, have a good trip home.

I will, sergeant.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Well what you mean murder, al?

Going to the DEA tomorrow morning I'm asking him

I want to run 'em on murder charges.

Both of them.

Al, this guy and Paula Allen did not kill Larry rossi.

Come on. Well, well, wait a minute.

Come on, there was only a half hour between the two crimes.

There wasn't enough time.

There's plenty of time.

You know what your problem is?

You can't deal with the fact that I solved this one.

What about the wigs?

So she had another one we haven't found.

We'll get it.

See I did all the footwork and bagged a killer,

and you can't handle it.

I'm not letting you step all over my arrest.

I'm going to the DEA, i'm getting a murder conviction

of this, whether you like it or not.

Al, we don't have the evidence to support your claim.

Allen and Nichols pulled all the jobs

and they did the killing.

I know we got enough to get a murder conviction.

You're wrong on this, al.

Yeah, well don't worry about it.

I won't tell anybody you worked on the case.

Hello?

Are you ready for tonight?

Yeah.

What's the guy's name?

His name's Doug Roberts.

Um, he's in from Vancouver.

Now, look, you just check into the hotel.

Use the name, Janice ames.

Doug will give you a call around eight.

All you have to do is keep him busy until I get there.

Listen, uh, I don't want to be there when you know,

you do what you do.

Look, its' gonna go just as smooth as last time.

You're not getting cold feet on me, are ya?

I'll be there.

But I don't want to talk about it anymore.

Goodbye.

Ok, goodbye.

Hey.

What are you still doing here?

I thought you and al novak would be down talking to the da

by now?

Well, look, uh, I think, uh, al's

making a very stupid mistake, Charlie.

What's the problem?

Well look, at hotel number one, Mr. Farid

was mugged at 9:35 in the evening, right?

At hotel number two, rossi was killed at 10 o'clock

in the evening.

Now Alan and Nichols had plenty of time

to get from hotel to hotel, but they didn't have enough time

to go up and actually commit the crime.

Yeah I see your point.

The da would probably just laugh at you.

I've been trying to tell al that.

Al's a pretty good cop, how do you figure this?

Well, he's got a problem with me, or I mean

you mean you and Chris?

Yeah.

So what are you gonna do?

Well, I'll eventually take to rossi's employers,

but first I'm going to call mrs.Rossi.

Well good luck.

Yeah, I'll need it.

Thanks.

Spence Martin?

Yeah?

What is it?

Sargeant novak, LAPD.

I'd like to talk to you about a friend of yours, Jack Doyle.

Go ahead and talk.

I got nothing to say.

You sure about that?

Sure as I'm standing here.

I'm taking you downtown for questioning.

You're taking me in?

That's right?

And, uh, you're here all by yourself?

Dorsey.

Al, what's up?

Want to talk to you.

Yeah?

Where you been?

Went over to see Mr. Olsen.

Oh, so you've been going behind my back.

Look, al, we both have an awful lot of work to do on this case

so why don't we just get to it, ok?

If you'll excuse me.

I suppose you know the da wouldn't take my story?

No, I didn't know that.

All right.

What'd you do, go behind my back to him too?

Look, you scenario doesn't make sense on this case.

Now that's not my opinion, that's a fact.

Oh you're so smooth, hunter.

I suppose that's the same quality

that Chris saw in you, huh?

Ok, al.

Come on, let me have of it.

No, no, no, I saw how you moved in on her, swarmed all over,

consoled her in her time of need.

Let me tell you something, your marriage was over when I

no, no, no, you're the reason my marriage ended, pal.

Hey, be careful here.

Oh, what's wrong, hunter?

Truth hurts, doesn't it, uh?

Probably used my bed the first time you nailed, did ya?

Knock it off!

Knock it off the both of ya.

Hunter!

Novak!

In my office right now, let's go.

We all finished now?

I want your words that from now on

you'll find a way to work together.

I can't believe you actually hit him.

You can't?

No I can't.

Well I feel happy for al.

Happy?

Yeah, the guy's wanted to pick a fight with me

for the last two years.

He finally did it.

I feel happy for him.

He's jealous because we're dating each other, that's all.

Oh, Chris, he still thinks he owns you.

Al thinks he owns everything.

That's one of the reasons I divorced the guy.

Well good, sit al down in the chair and tell him the facts.

Preferably out in the field somewhere.

Look, tell him you're a woman who's

decided to do as she pleases.

Right, and now you've decided to see me, up until this point

anyway.

I can't talk to al.

You can't talk to al?

Good.

Well, look, Chris, I know you're in a tough spot.

So am I. And it is apparent to me

it is not my responsibility to talk to al novak.

It is yours and I wish you would do it, quickly.

I got a of things to do.

What are you dragging me down here for.

Come on in, al, I want to show you something.

Ossie, want to fill him in?

The deceased was joy Daniels, age 26,

105 lbs, 5'7, brown eyes, red hair.

Her hair matches the red hair we found in Lawrence rossi's room.

I won't be absolutely positive 'til we run a DNA test,

but I think there's a better than excellent chance Ms.

Daniels was in rossi's room the night he was killed.

Hunter.

What's you theory?

Larry rossi found out Olsen was skimming

money from his own company.

So, Olsen hired Joey Daniels to set him up in a hotel room.

The two cases were never related, al.

Yeah, well, if that's true, uh, what do we do now?

Well I don't know about you, but I

think we ought to go over joy Daniel's apartment

and shake it down.

Hunter.

You told Chris to talk to me, didn't ya?

Yeah, I did.

She reamed me pretty good.

She told me I was acting like a jerk.

Actually said that, uh, you and I were both acting like jerks.

Yeah, so what happened?

Nothing.

I didn't want to listen to that stuff so I split.

Al, you're making a big mistake here.

I think you ought to sit down and talk to Chris again.

This time listen to her.

Don't forget you have Allison to consider.

I told you, I don't know nothing about any robbery

or where Jack Doyle is.

If were involved in the robbery,

you're going up for at least five years.

Jack is crazy.

If I sell him out, he'll come after me.

When I nail Jack, I'll offer him

the deal if he incriminates you.

He wouldn't do that.

He wouldn't?

Not even if I told him you were spending the robbery money

he told you to hide?

I haven't spend a cent of it!

Your life is slipping away, Martin.

It's Jack Doyle or us.

Who do you trust more?

Ok, why don't you start in the bathroom

and I'll start in the kitchen.

Hey, take a look at this.

I've been up all night, going over the books.

There's $3 million of this corporation's missing

and I think you know where it is.

It wasn't me.

It was Larry rossi.

He'd been double billing clients and sucking

money out of the company for years.

Cut the crap, Bob.

I know it was you.

What were you trying to set me up?

Yeah, you boot me out as ceo, then you take my job

and keep the money?

Is that how it works?

Hank, this whole thing's really gotten to you, hasn't it?

What's gotten to me is you.

You know, I think you killed Larry rossi.

And I think it's high time police know about it.

Well all that's going to buy you is trouble, friend.

What it's gonna buy you, is a trip

to the jail for embezzlement and probably murder.

No, what that's going to do is drag this company

through the mud, and then your career will be finished.

Then those stock options you have won't be worth a cent.

You think I'm just going to let you walk away from this?

Well, I expect you to look out for yourself first, Hank.

If that includes giving me time to hop on an airplane

and disappear, yeah, you'll do it.

You're just pretty damn sure of yourself, aren't ya?

Well, you taught me everything I

know about corporate survival, Hank.

So what do you say, chief, how do you want to play it?

Any sign of him, dorsey?

Not yet, sargeant.

How about you, righetti?

Negative.

Hold on, there's a car head toward Martin right now.

Hold your positions until I say go.

Good to see you, Jack.

I got your message.

Climb in, let's get the money.

Uh, maybe we take my car?

Forget it.

Last time I let you drive I got busted.

That's the signal, move in.

Hold it, Doyle!

He's coming your way.

This is r30 Charles to 114, shots were fired,

an officer is down.

Send an ra unit to our location, 796 taft Avenue.

That $10,000 is part of the money

you stole from your company, Mr. Abbott.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're talking about.

Oh, sure you do.

Our lab found your prints all over it.

Yeah we found that money in joy Daniel's apartment.

That's the $10,000 you gave her to help set up Larry rossi.

Listen, I can explain all of this.

Well, it's Henry Olsen.

He's trying to frame me.

We're arresting you for the murder of Larry rossi.

I hope you got a good attorney.

I'll take that.

Read him his rights.

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.

You have the right to speak with an attorney,

and have him be present for questioning.

You did a great job on this case, it was a pleasure.

Thank you captain.

Just going to say this once, hunter.

Nice job on the case.

Thank al.

Uh, one more thing, what you said to me in the morgue

made sense.

Maybe I need to have a long talk with Chris.

It's not going to make me like what

happened between the two of you.

I understand.

You're a good cop, hunter.

But I don't thing I want to work with you again.

Got it?

Got it.

See ya, al.

Hope not.

What was that all about?

Oh, with al?

Eh, ebbing hormones.

No, I think it's a case of two grown men doing what

two grown men need to do in a situation like this.
