Hunter and McCall try to protect their informant, Sporty James, from his own greed after he blackmails a ruthless cocaine dealer who's responsible for a murder.
UHH!
I SAW HIS BOYS KILL
A DUDE THIS MORNING.
IT OUGHT TO BE WORTH
A COOL MILLION, MAYBE 2.
THE LAST PERSON THAT OFFERED
TO TESTIFY AGAINST BOGOTA
WOUND UP ON THE WRONG
END OF A CHAIN SAW.
$1 MILLION BUYS YOU ONE
TIGHT-LIPPED FRIEND... ME.
AND THEN I AM RID OF
YOU ONCE AND FOR ALL?
SPORTY'S UP TO SOMETHING.
SPORTY'S ALWAYS UP TO SOMETHING.
♪ WE'RE GONNA
LIVE BEFORE WE DIE ♪
♪ GET BACK ♪
YO, HO! KIRBY! YOU
MISSED A SPOT, MAN.
RIGHT THERE. RIGHT THERE, MAN.
I GOT TO LOOK SHARP, YOU KNOW?
I GOT AN IMAGE TO
UPHOLD IN THE COMMUNITY.
YEAH, THESE SHOES CARRY A
HEAVY LOAD, ALL RIGHT. HA HA HA!
HA HA HA!
UH...
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
UHH!
I DON'T HAVE IT!
I DON'T HAVE IT!
IF I HAD IT, I'D GIVE IT TO YOU.
UHH!
UHH!
AAH!
DO YOU KNOW THAT GUY,
THE ONE WHO BROKE THE WINDOW?
SURE I KNOW HIM. EVERYBODY
KNOWS SPORTY JAMES.
HELLO, OFFICER.
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
I NEVER KNEW HIM TO DO
ANYTHING THAT CRAZY, THOUGH.
WHEN I GET MY NEXT VACATION,
I THINK I'M GONNA GO
CHECK OUT THE BAHAMAS.
Sporty: HEY, HEY, HEY! DON'T
WRINKLE THE THREADS, MAN.
COST ME SOME HARD GREEN.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
SO GOOD TO SEE
YOU, HUNTER, MY MAN.
WHAT'D HE DO?
THE GUY IS RUNNING DOWN
THE STREET LIKE HE'S ON FIRE.
PICKS UP A TRASH
CAN AND THROWS IT
CLEAR THROUGH A
PLATE GLASS WINDOW
OF A PAWN SHOP DOWN ON EUCLID.
SPORTY.
JUST A WHIM, HUNTER.
I JUST FINISHED BUSINESS...
YOU KNOW, A 3-MARTINI LUNCH...
WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN,
I HAD THIS PLAYFUL WHIM.
IT WAS ALL IN FUN, OFFICER,
AND I WILL BE VERY HAPPY
TO PAY THE DAMAGES.
SPORTY, YOU NEVER
HAD A WHIM IN YOUR LIFE
THAT COULDN'T SHOW A PROFIT.
YOU MISJUDGE ME,
SERGEANT McCALL.
YOU LOOK AT ME, AND YOU
SEE A MAN OF BUSINESS.
YOU DON'T SEE THE
REAL SPORTY JAMES...
A MAN OF FEELING,
A MAN OF IMPULSE.
A MAN WHO CAN STACK A LINE
OF BULL FROM HERE TO OXNARD.
SHE'S NOT JUST FOXY, MAN,
SHE'S SHARP. I LIKE HER.
MAN, YOU GOT A SHOVEL?
HUNTER? McCALL?
WE GOT A BODY AT
EUCLID AND COSGROVE.
MALE CAU, FOUND THIS MORNING.
ON EUCLID? YEAH.
EXCUSE ME.
I HAVE TO TALK TO THIS MAN
IN PRIVATE JUST FOR A MINUTE.
ALL RIGHT. BRING HIM
BACK WHEN YOU'RE FINISHED.
I HAVEN'T BOOKED HIM IN YET.
TO TELL THE TRUTH, HUNTER,
I AM PRESSED FOR TIME.
YOU KNOW, I GOT SOME
BUSINESS TO ATTEND TO.
YEAH.
I WOULD LIKE TO
CHAT WITH YOU, MAN...
WE'VE GOT BUSINESS,
TOO. THIS'LL BE PAINLESS.
BELIEVE ME. YOU'RE
GONNA LIKE THIS, SPORTY.
Sporty: HEY, MAN,
LOOK, I AM DRY!
I DON'T KNOW NOTHING.
HAVEN'T BEEN NOWHERE.
HAVEN'T SEEN NOBODY!
YOU WERE ON EUCLID?
YEAH. I WAS WRAPPING MY
MOUTH AROUND A COUPLE OF BEERS
WITH SOME BLOODS.
WHAT'D YOU SEE? ME? NOTHING.
I WAS JUST HANGING AROUND.
YOU KNOW ME, HUNTER.
YEAH, I DO KNOW
YOU. WHAT'D YOU SEE?
HA HA HA. YEAH, WE GO
BACK QUITE A WAYS, DON'T WE?
TOO FAR BACK. WHAT'D YOU SEE?
I'LL KEEP TELLING
YOU... NOTHING!
SPORTY, WE'VE GOT A DEAD
BODY ON EUCLID STREET.
YOU WERE RUNNING
DOWN THAT STREET.
YOU PICKED UP A TRASH CAN.
YOU THREW IT THROUGH
A PLATE GLASS WINDOW.
I WANT TO KNOW WHY.
I TOLD YOU WHY.
NOW, WOULD I LIE?
YES, YOU WOULD.
YOU THINK MAYBE
SPORTY KILLED THIS GUY?
OH, THAT'S CRAZY. I NEVER
HARMED ANYBODY IN MY LIFE,
AND BOTH OF YOU KNOW THAT.
YEAH, BUT YOU SEE, WE GOT A
REAL CRANKY BOSS OUT THERE,
AND HE'S GONNA WANT
TO KNOW ABOUT THIS...
GUY RUNNING DOWN THE STREET,
DEAD BODY AROUND THE CORNER.
OK, OK, OK.
NOW, LOOK, YOU ARE NOT
GONNA BELIEVE THIS, OK,
BUT HERE'S THE REAL DEAL.
NOW, I WAS WALKING
DOWN THE STREET,
MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS,
WITH NOTHING ON MY MIND
WHATSOEVER, YOU UNDERSTAND,
WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN,
THESE 2 BIG DUDES
COME RIGHT AFTER ME.
AND DIG THIS... THEY GOT HEAT!
THEY'RE READY TO SHOOT.
WHAT'D THEY LOOK LIKE?
LOOK LIKE? THEY LOOKED
LIKE 2 BIG DUDES WITH GUNS.
THAT'S WHAT THEY LOOKED LIKE.
I DIDN'T HANG AROUND
LOOKING AT THEIR FACES.
I STARTED RUNNING,
MAN! YOU KNOW?
AND I WAS THINKING REAL
FAST AND RUNNING FASTER
WHEN I SAW THIS POLICE
CAR, AND QUITE NATURALLY,
I BROKE THE WINDOW
TO GET THEIR ATTENTION.
SPORTY, WE GOT A
DEAD BODY ON EUCLID.
YOU SAW IT, RIGHT?
THAT IS THE END OF THE
STORY. THAT IS THE GOSPEL.
IF YOU WANT ANY MORE, YOU'LL
HAVE TO GO TO SOMEBODY ELSE.
IT'S GOING TO BE
AWFULLY DANGEROUS
OUT THERE ON THE STREET FOR YOU.
HUNTER, I WANT TO THANK
YOU FOR YOUR KIND CONCERN.
I WILL SEE YOU
AROUND. STAY COOL.
THANK YOU.
YOU BET.
SO THEN SHE SAYS
TO ME, "WHO ARE YOU?"
BILL AND BOB, GOOD TO SEE
YOU GUYS FEELING SO GOOD.
YEAH, AND WORKING SO HARD.
WE ARE. CAN'T YOU SEE WE ARE?
LISTEN, I'D LIKE YOU
GUYS TO DO ME A FAVOR.
WHEN SPORTY JAMES
GETS KICKED FREE,
I WANT YOU TO TAIL HIM FOR US.
WHY NOT YOU, HUNTER?
BECAUSE HE KNOWS WHO WE ARE.
HAVE WE GOT TIME TO DO OUR
COLLEAGUES THIS LITTLE FAVOR?
NO...
BUT FOR YOU, WE'LL
MAKE THE TIME.
I THANK YOU, AND MY
PARTNER THANKS YOU.
THE PEOPLE OF L.A. THANK YOU.
I LIKE THE WAY YOU TIE YOUR FLY.
OOH.
THAT'S A GOTCHA. SHE GOT YOU.
WE'RE WASTING OUR TIME.
THIS GUY'S GONNA RIDE ALL DAY.
OH, HUNTER, YOU ARE BAD, MAN,
SENDING THOSE JIVE
MONKEYS TO WATCH ME.
NOW, DON'T GO DOWN
THE ALLEY, ALL RIGHT?
HE'LL KNOW WE'RE FOLLOWING
HIM. GO UP AROUND THE BLOCK.
HEY! WHAT THE...
D.B.'S NAME IS PETER HARLEN.
36, LIVED IN THE MARINA.
LOOKS LIKE HE WAS BEAT UP
PRETTY BAD. NO WITNESSES.
Radio dispatcher:
L-56. L-56, COME IN.
L-56. GO AHEAD.
STAND BY, L-56. GO AHEAD, L-37.
Cop on radio: HUNTER,
WE LOST YOUR MAN.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THESE 2 FIELD
GENIUSES? HOW'D YOU DO THAT?
WELL, HE DROVE A CAR
INTO ONE END OF AN ALLEY,
AND WHEN IT CAME
OUT THE OTHER END,
A BLOND FOX IN HIGH
HEELS WAS DRIVING.
IT'S PARKED AT THE CORNER
OF MASON AND DENNER.
THANKS A MILLION, YOU GUYS.
HEY, LOOK. WE WERE DOING
YOU A FAVOR, YOU KNOW?
YEAH, I KNOW. STAY WITH THE CAR.
L-56 OUT.
SPORTY'S UP TO SOMETHING.
SPORTY'S ALWAYS UP TO SOMETHING.
YEAH, I KNOW THAT, BUT
IT REALLY AGGRAVATES ME
TO KNOW THAT HE'S HOLED
UP OUT THERE SOMEWHERE,
LAUGHING AT US.
EXCUSE ME, MA'AM,
UH, BUT I'D LIKE TO RENT A ROOM.
WHO ARE YOU?
I'M SERGEANT McCALL, METRO P.D.
YOU ARE MISS...
HOFFMEYER.
ROXANNE HOFFMEYER.
I LIVE HERE.
I THOUGHT PETER
HARLEN OWNED THIS BOAT.
HE DOES.
UM, HEH...
PETER AND I... YOU KNOW.
YEAH.
I HAVE A WARRANT
TO SEARCH THE BOAT.
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
PETER'S NOT EVEN HERE NOW.
I KNOW.
I'M SORRY TO HAVE TO TELL
YOU LIKE THIS, MISS HOFFMEYER.
PETER HARLEN IS DEAD.
NO, I...
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.
HE WAS ATTACKED
IN AN ALLEY. HE...
HE FELL AND BROKE HIS NECK.
THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING.
I'M SORRY.
UH... I KNOW THE
TIMING IS WAY OFF HERE,
BUT, UH...
YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO
HELP US FIND WHO DID IT.
COULD YOU ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS?
YEAH.
HOW LONG DID YOU
KNOW PETER HARLEN?
A LITTLE OVER A YEAR.
WHERE WAS HE EMPLOYED?
UM, PETER HAD HIS OWN BUSINESS.
HE WASN'T DOING VERY WELL.
HE STARTED DEALING COKE.
FULL-TIME?
NO. JUST TO DO SOME FAVORS
FOR IMPORTANT CLIENTS,
AND THEN IT GOT
BIGGER AND BIGGER.
ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO...
PETER WENT AWAY
FOR ABOUT 6 DAYS.
I DIDN'T ASK OR ANYTHING,
BUT I KNOW WHEN
HE TAKES THE BOAT...
THAT IT'S USUALLY FOR DRUGS.
ANYWAY, WHEN HE GOT
HOME, HE WAS REAL UPTIGHT.
AND THEN THE PHONE
CALLS STARTED.
WHAT PHONE CALLS?
SOME GUY WITH AN ACCENT.
ALL PETER EVER
CALLED HIM WAS BOGOTA.
YOU SAY THAT YOU FELT
PETER WAS AFRAID OF HIM?
YEAH. THEY THOUGHT PETER
WAS HOLDING OUT ON THEM.
SOME... DEAL THAT WENT SOUR.
THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE PETER
BECAUSE THERE WAS A
LOT OF MONEY INVOLVED.
MILLIONS, PETER SAID.
Sporty: YOU KNOW WHERE
THE PRODUCE HOTEL IS?
Woman on phone: ON PARKERDALE?
THAT'S RIGHT. MR. CLAXTON, 203.
I WANT YOU TO COME
OVER HERE REAL QUICK.
HA HA HA HA!

McCall: HIS NAME IS BOGOTA.
DID YOU EVER HEAR OF THE GUY?
NOPE.
YOU KNOW, MAYBE SPORTY ACCIDENTALLY
SAW BOGOTA'S MEN KILL HARLEN.
YEAH. I CAN'T SEEM TO
GET SPORTY OFF MY MIND.
WHAT IS IT? WHY DO I
LIKE THAT LITTLE RAT?
WELL, HE'S GREEDY, SELFISH,
TRICKY, RUDE, AND
OBNOXIOUS. WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE?
Woman: SPORTY, IT'S ME.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
DRESSED LIKE THAT?
WHAT IS GOING ON IN HERE?
AH HA HA HA HA!
WE ARE CELEBRATING, MAMA!
WE ARE CELEBRATING BEING RICH.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
MONEY! THAT'S WHAT I'M
TALKING ABOUT. MONEY.
NOT THE KIND WE GET,
THE KIND THEY GET.
ENOUGH MONEY. TOO MUCH MONEY!
HA HA! HA HA!
ALL YOU'VE GOT TO DO...
HEH.
IS GET ME IN TOUCH WITH BOGOTA.
BOGOTA?
WELL, NOW YOU'RE TALKING CRAZY.
COME ON. YOU KNOW HIM.
COME ON. I MEAN, YOU WOULDN'T
JIVE ME. YOU DO KNOW HIM?
YEAH, I'VE MET HIM,
BUT I DON'T KNOW HIM.
ANYWAY, SPORTY, IT'S NOT
SAFE TO KNOW THIS MAN.
NOW, LOOK, NOBODY'S
GONNA GET HURT, MARGUERITE.
ALL I'M TALKING ABOUT
IS A SIMPLE LITTLE
BUSINESS TRANSACTION.
HOW SIMPLE?
I SAW HIS BOYS KILL A DUDE
THIS MORNING. I WAS THERE, BABY.
AND THAT'S A MURDER
ONE CONSPIRACY RAP
THAT HE CAN'T BEAT BECAUSE
THOSE DUDES WERE HIS DUDES.
HE DON'T NEED NO
TROUBLE LIKE THAT.
IT OUGHT TO BE WORTH
A COOL MILLION, MAYBE 2.
A MILLION DOLLARS, MAYBE 2?
YEAH. EVER SINCE YOU TOLD
ME ABOUT THIS DUDE BOGOTA,
I BEEN TRYING TO THINK
WHAT TO DO WITH HIM,
AND THEN THIS THING JUST
FALLS INTO SPORTY'S LAP.
BABY, IT WAS SUPPOSED
TO HAPPEN. I CAN FEEL IT.
IT'S KARMA, BABY!
I DON'T KNOW, SPORTY.
YOU GET RICH, MAYBE YOU
WON'T WANT ME NO MORE.
HEH HEH. BABY, I'M NEVER
GONNA STOP LOVING YOU.
THAT'S WHY I WANT
THE BEST FOR YOU.
AND IN ORDER TO GET THE BEST,
WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO
SOMETHING, TAKE A CHANCE,
BECAUSE I BEEN HUSTLING OUT HERE
IN THESE DIRTY STREETS ALL MY LIFE.
NOW, THIS GUY'S GOT MILLIONS,
AND ONE OF THEM'S
GOING TO BE OURS.
OH, SPORTY, YOU HAVE
GOT TO BE CAREFUL.
BOGOTA KILLS PEOPLE,
EVEN IF HE JUST THINKS
THAT THEY'RE DOING
SOMETHING HE DON'T LIKE.
BUT, BABY, HE ALREADY KNOWS
THAT I GOT SOMETHING ON HIM.
I GOT NO CHOICE
BUT TO PLAY IT OUT.
HE'S GOING TO KILL ME
ANYWAY, MARGUERITE.
LOOK, ARE YOU GOING TO HELP ME?
ALL RIGHT...
BUT THIS MAN SCARES ME.
NO, NO, NO. LISTEN, LISTEN.
COME, SIT DOWN. SIT DOWN.
LOOK, I GOT IT ALL SET UP, BABY.
ALL YOU GOT TO DO IS GET A
MESSAGE TO THE GENTLEMAN.
WHAT DO I SAY?
TELL BOGOTA THAT SOMEBODY SAW
WHAT HAPPENED IN THAT ALLEY,
AND FAT WILLIAM WANTS
TO TALK TO HIM ABOUT IT.
SEE, I ALREADY
CALLED FAT WILLIAM
AND TOLD HIM TO GET
OUT OF TOWN, RIGHT?
BUT THAT'S ALL
YOU KNOW, YOU SEE?
YOU CAN EVEN TELL HIM
WHERE FAT WILLIAM LIVES
BECAUSE FAT WILLIAM
WON'T BE THERE. HA HA HA!
IS THAT ALL I HAVE TO DO?
WELL, YOU GOT TO GET
A NUMBER FROM BOGOTA
WHERE FAT WILLIAM CAN CALL HIM
AND TELL HIM THAT
FAT IS GONNA CALL YOU
FOR THAT NUMBER.
NO, NO, NO, BABY, LOOK, WITH
THIS AMOUNT OF SCRATCH,
WE'LL BE ABLE TO GO SO FAR
TILL THEY WON'T EVEN
BE ABLE TO CATCH US.
JUST THINK, MARGUERITE...
HOT NIGHTS
AND LONG, LAZY DAYS IN JAMAICA.
McCall: YOU KNOW, THERE'S
SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY LIFE.
I'M YOUNG, I'M WELL-EDUCATED,
I'M NOT BAD TO LOOK AT,
AND I HAVE JUST SPENT THE
ENTIRE DAY WITH STREET PEOPLE
AND CON ARTISTS AND
SWEATY WRESTLERS.
I JUST DO NOT
ENJOY DAYS LIKE THIS.
THERE'S SOMETHING
WRONG WITH THIS.
WHAT THE HELL ARE
YOU TALKING ABOUT?
WELL, I'M TALKING ABOUT... THIS.
THESE STREET
PEOPLE, CON ARTISTS,
HOOKERS, SWEATY WRESTLERS.
YOU KNOW, THEY POP
OUT OF THE WOODWORK.
THEY DISAPPEAR
BACK INTO THE CITY.
YOU EVER WONDER WHERE THEY GO?
RIGHT OVER THERE.
THAT'S HIM. PULL OVER.
Hunter: PAULIE.
LET ME ASK YOU A QUE...
WAIT A MINUTE!
PAULIE!
EVERY TIME YOU SEE ME, YOU RUN.
WHY?
BECAUSE I'M ALWAYS AFRAID
YOU'RE GONNA BUST ME!
LOOK, MAN. LOOK, LOOK, I'M
CLEAN. CLEAN AS LINOLEUM, MAN.
CHECK THAT OUT!
I DON'T WANT TO CHECK IT OUT.
NOW, I UNDERSTAND YOU'VE
BEEN WORKING FOR SPORTY JAMES.
THERE'S NOTHING
BUSTABLE, MAN. NOTHING.
YOU KNOW SPORTY. HE'S
LIKE THE C.I.A. OF THE STREET.
WHERE CAN I FIND SPORTY?
I DON'T KNOW, MAN. GOD'S TRUTH.
I HAVEN'T SEEN
HIM IN... IN DAYS.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE
YOU FIND HIM, MAN!
I HEARD... I HEARD THAT
HE'S BEEN HIDING OUT
FROM SOME BIG COKE
KNOCKER, THAT'S ALL.
TURN AROUND.
OH! GIRLFRIEND, MAN. GIRLFRIEND.
HE'S GOT A GIRLFRIEND.
SPORTY'S GOT A GIRLFRIEND? YEAH.
YEAH, A REAL... SPECIAL
KIND OF GIRLFRIEND.
WHAT'S HER NAME?
UM... MONTERO.
MARGUERITE MONTERO.
THAT'S HER NAME.
WHERE CAN I FIND MARGUERITE?
CORNER OF FENNIMORE AND COSWELL.
SHE'S THE LOOKOUT
FOR A ROCK HOUSE, MAN.
UH, YEAH. YEAH.
YEAH, MAN. YEAH, UH...
YEAH, SHE'LL BE OUT
ON THE PORCH, MAN.
SHE'S, LIKE, A REAL LITTLE,
ITTY-BITTY GIRL, MAN.
MISS MONTERO?
YES?
I'M SERGEANT McCALL.
THIS IS SERGEANT HUNTER.
WE'RE WITH METRO P.D.
I'M SURE THAT YOU'VE
HEARD SPORTY MENTION US.
I HAVE.
WE HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE
YOU KNOW WHERE SPORTY IS.
WE'D LIKE TO HELP HIM.
NO, I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS.
YOU SEEM FRIGHTENED. ARE YOU?
NO. I JUST DON'T
KNOW WHERE HE IS.
WE HAPPEN TO THINK YOU DO.
WELL, WHAT'S SPORTY DONE?
WELL, NOTHING YET,
BUT HIS LIFE IS IN DANGER,
AND IF YOU HAPPEN
TO KNOW WHERE HE IS,
WE'D APPRECIATE
YOU TELLING US SO.
LOOK, I DON'T SEE HIM NO MORE,
AND I JUST DON'T
KNOW WHERE HE IS.
IF YOU DO SEE HIM OR
YOU HEAR FROM HIM,
GIVE ME A CALL AT THAT NUMBER.
YOU COULD BE SAVING HIS LIFE.
Man: BELIEVE ME,
THE D.E.A. HAS BEEN ON BOGOTA'S
TRAIL FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS.
WE'VE ASSIGNED ONE OF OUR
TOP UNITS, BUT SO FAR, ZIP.
YOU'RE WELL AWARE OF THE
HOUSE ON COSWELL STREET?
YOU WON'T FIND A
HONCHO LIKE BOGOTA
WITHIN 20 MILES OF A ROCK HOUSE.
COKE BOSSES IN COLOMBIA
RAMROD BOTH ENDS
OF THEIR COCAINE PIPELINE NOW...
PRODUCTION AND DELIVERY,
AND THEY STAY OUT OF SALES.
SO WHAT ARE YOU SAYING,
THAT BOGOTA'S UNTOUCHABLE?
NO. HE'S THE ENFORCER,
THE MUSCLE BEHIND A $100
MILLION-A-YEAR OPERATION.
IF HE'S SO PROLIFIC, WHY
HAVEN'T YOU NABBED HIM YET?
WELL, WE GOT A
COUPLE OF PROBLEMS...
LIKE, WHAT DOES HE LOOK LIKE,
WHERE DOES HE LIVE?
WELL, WE'RE LOOKING FOR A MAN
THAT WITNESSED 2 OF
BOGOTA'S THUGS KILL A DEALER.
DEALER'S NAME WAS PETER HARLEN.
THE LAST PERSON THAT OFFERED
TO TESTIFY AGAINST BOGOTA
WOUND UP ON THE WRONG
END OF A CHAIN SAW.
OH, WELL, THANKS
FOR THE INFORMATION.
YOU KNOW, IF METRO HOMICIDE
TAGS BOGOTA BEFORE WE DO,
THE D.E.A. COULD
LOOK PRETTY SILLY.
YEAH.
WE SHOULD PROBABLY
STAY IN TOUCH, HUH?
YEAH. LET'S DO THAT.
YEAH. WE'LL DO THAT.
HELLO, MARGUERITE.
YOU WANT TO SEE ME?
A MAN PAID ME TO
GIVE YOU A MESSAGE.
WHAT MAN?
THEY CALL HIM FAT WILLIAM.
HE TALKS TO ME ON
THE STREET ALL THE TIME.
CHECK ON HIM.
WHAT IS THE MESSAGE?
HE SAID TO TELL YOU THAT SOMEBODY
SAW WHAT HAPPENED IN THE ALLEY
AND THAT THE SOMEBODY
CAN IDENTIFY THE KILLERS,
AND IT'LL COST $1 MILLION
TO KEEP THIS MAN QUIET.
SOMEBODY?
SPORTY JAMES, YOU MEAN.
I DON'T KNOW WHO THE MAN
IS. FAT WILLIAM KNOWS HIM.
WHERE IS HE? I DON'T KNOW.
WHERE IS FAT WILLIAM?
FAT WILLIAM'S OUT OF TOWN.
HE'S BEEN GONE SINCE YESTERDAY.
HE TRUSTED YOU WITH A MESSAGE.
SURELY HE MUST HAVE
TOLD YOU WHERE TO FIND HIM.
NO. I SWEAR HE DIDN'T.
HE JUST SAID TO DELIVER THE
MESSAGE, AND HE WOULD CONTACT ME.
HE WOULD FIND ME.
AND THAT TO GET A NUMBER
WHERE HE COULD CALL YOU.
TSK, TSK, TSK, TSK.
WHAT A PITY.
SUCH A PRETTY FACE.
TOO BAD THE MOUTH
TELLS SO MANY LIES.
FIND OUT WHAT SHE KNOWS.
YOU CAN LIE TO ME...
BUT TO THEM YOU
WILL SPEAK THE TRUTH.
AAAAH!
VICTIM'S NAME IS
MARGUERITE MONTERO.
LOOKS LIKE HER RIBS ARE
CRUSHED, HER ARMS BROKEN.
SHE REALLY TOOK SOME PUNISHMENT.
THEY MADE IT SLOW,
AND THEY MADE IT HURT.
WHAT WAS THE ACTUAL
CAUSE OF DEATH, BARNEY?
PROBABLY INTERNAL BLEEDING
OR A BONE FRAGMENT IN HER LUNGS.
McCall: THANKS.
THINK WE CAN FIND
SPORTY BEFORE THEY DO?
WELL, WELL, WELL.
WHO NEEDS A SHINE?
HOW ARE YOU DOING, KIRBY?
HI, HUNTER, McCALL.
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
NOT VERY GOOD.
HAVEN'T FOUND SPORTY
YET, SO WE'RE BACK.
I AIN'T SEEN HIM OR
HEARD FROM HIM.
YOU KNOW SPORTY.
HE'S A SECRET MAN.
ALWAYS GOT THOSE WHEELS TURNING.
NO TELLING WHERE THAT FOOL'S AT.
KIRBY, WE DON'T
WANT TO ARREST HIM.
HE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING.
WE JUST WANT TO FIND HIM
BEFORE ANYTHING
COULD HAPPEN TO HIM.
YOU'RE JUST REPEATING YOURSELF,
SERGEANT. I GOT NOTHING FOR YOU.
MARGUERITE'S DEAD.
OH, NO.
SWEET, PRETTY LITTLE THING.
BEAT HER UP PRETTY BAD
BEFORE THEY LET HER DIE.
WHY?
BECAUSE THEY'RE
LOOKING FOR SPORTY.
KIRBY, COME ON, GIVE US A BREAK.
HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW
HOW MUCH TROUBLE HE'S IN.
I CAN'T. YOU KNOW HOW IT IS.
SPORTY'S MY FRIEND.
I'D LIKE TO HELP, BUT I
DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS.
YEAH, WE KNOW HOW IT IS, KIRBY.
WE'RE JUST GONNA HAVE TO
FIND SPORTY ON OUR OWN, I GUESS.
OK.
YEAH.
Kirby on telephone:
SPORTY? KIRBY.
HEY, KIRBY, WHAT YOU GOT FOR ME?
HUNTER AND McCALL
ARE LOOKING FOR YOU.
THIS IS NOT NEWS, KIRBY.
I TOLD THEM I DIDN'T
KNOW WHERE YOU WERE,
JUST LIKE YOU SAID, BUT...
BUT WHAT?
THEY WANT TO SEE YOU BAD.
THEY SAID THEY HAVE
SOMETHING REAL IMPORTANT
TO TELL YOU... SOMETHING
REAL IMPORTANT.
WELL, WHAT IS IT?
THEY WOULDN'T TELL ME.
MAYBE YOU OUGHT TO CALL THEM.
LOOK, KEEP YOUR
MOUTH TIGHT, MAN.
I'M ABOUT TO MAKE THE BIGGEST
MOVE OF MY CAREER HERE,
AND I DON'T NEED THOSE
TWO MESSING UP MY MIND.
OK, SPORTY. TALK TO YOU LATER.
YEAH, SOLLIS, IT'S McCALL.
I NEED A RECORDS CHECK
ON A PAY PHONE NUMBER.
555-9273.
YEAH. I NEED THE TELEPHONE
NUMBER AND THE ADDRESS.
AND WHEN YOU GET IT, GIVE ME A
CALL IN THE CAR, ALL RIGHT? THANKS.
SORRY, KIRBY. WE
GOT TO FIND SPORTY.
JUST DON'T LET
SPORTY KNOW IT WAS ME.
I WOULDN'T LET HIM
DOWN FOR ANYTHING.
YOU'RE A GOOD FRIEND.
HE'LL UNDERSTAND THAT.
JUST DON'T LET NOTHING
HAPPEN TO OLD SPORTY.
WE WON'T. THANKS.
McCall: COME ON,
SPORTY, OPEN UP!
OH!
Hunter: YEAH, IT'S
YOUR FAVORITE COPS.
OH!
HOW? HOW DID YOU FIND ME?
HMM? KIRBY. THE
TELEPHONE. RIGHT?
RIGHT.
THAT KIRBY, YOU
KNOW, HE'S ALL RIGHT,
BUT HE AIN'T TOO BRIGHT.
LOOK, I'M KIND OF BUSY.
WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?
WELL, THE PROBLEM IS,
SPORTY, YOU'RE HIDING OUT.
WAIT A MINUTE. I
THINK I REMEMBER
HAVING THIS CONVERSATION BEFORE.
THE ONLY THING
IS, I ALSO REMEMBER
TELLING YOU THAT I
DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING.
WE KNOW THAT, BUT THE
GAME HAS CHANGED A LITTLE BIT.
LOOK, YOU TWO
AREN'T GOING TO ASK ME
THE SAME OLD QUESTIONS
AGAIN NOW, ARE YOU?
SPORTY, MARGUERITE'S DEAD.
YOU'RE LYING, MAN.
SHE'S NOT DEAD.
SPORTY, WE WOULDN'T TELL
YOU THAT IF IT WASN'T TRUE.
YOU'RE TRYING TO TRAP ME.
Hunter: NO, WE'RE NOT.
THEY FOUND HER
BODY THIS MORNING.
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO...
NO, NO, NO.
NO! NO.
HOW? HOW? WHAT... WHAT HAPPENED?
WELL, THE PEOPLE THAT KILLED HER
WANTED HER TO TALK ABOUT
YOU, BUT WE DON'T THINK SHE DID.
YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT SHE
DIDN'T, MAN! I KNOW SHE DIDN'T,
BECAUSE IF SHE HAD, I WOULDN'T
BE STANDING HERE TALKING TO YOU!
I'D BE DEAD!
OH, MAN, I SENT HER. I
SENT HER TO THE DUDE.
LOOK, HUNTER, YOU GOT
TO HELP ME GET HIM, MAN.
YOU GOT TO HELP ME
PUT THE MARK ON HIM, MAN.
HE ORDERED THE KILLING,
AND I'M GOING TO GET HIM, MAN.
YOU SEE THAT? YOU SEE THAT?
THAT IS WHERE I GOT HIM!
HE IS A DEAD MAN, MAN!
HE JUST DON'T KNOW
IT YET. THAT'S ALL.
SEE, BECAUSE I'M IMPORTANT TO
HIM NOW. HE'LL COME OUT FOR ME.
SPORTY, YOU'LL GET
YOURSELF KILLED.
WE WANT YOU OUT OF THIS. ALL WE
WANT YOU TO DO IS TESTIFY FOR US.
WHAT GOOD IS THAT
GOING TO DO, MAN?
YOU DON'T KNOW
WHERE TO FIND HIM.
YOU DON'T KNOW
HOW TO FIND HIM. I CAN.
WE CAN'T LET YOU PUT YOUR
LIFE ON THE LINE, SPORTY.
LOOK, TELL ME SOMETHING.
WHAT DO YOU LIVE FOR?
HUH? WHAT MAKES YOU
GET UP IN THE MORNING, HMM?
ALL THAT TALK ABOUT WORK
AND DUTY, HUH? AND ALL THAT?
HUMAN BEINGS, MAN, ARE THE
ONLY ANIMALS ON GOD'S GOOD EARTH
WHO DON'T KNOW THAT THE ONLY
REASON FOR LIVING IS PLEASURE.
WHEN I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING,
I GET UP BECAUSE, MAN,
THE STREETS ARE OUT THERE.
AND I GOT TO WHEEL AND DEAL
AND MOVE AND SHAKE, YOU KNOW?
BECAUSE I LOVE IT.
BUT NOW ALL THAT'S GONE, MAN.
THE PLEASURE'S GONE.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M... YOU DIG
WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY, MAN?
IF I DON'T HELP TO
PUT THIS SCUM AWAY,
IF I DON'T MAKE IT UP TO
MARGUERITE FOR WHAT I DID TO HER,
ALL THE PLEASURE'S GONE. I
WILL JUST DIE SLOW. THAT'S ALL.
I MEAN, I HAVE GOT
TO GET HIM, MAN,
NO MATTER WHAT!
SPORTY, WE CAN'T PUT
A CIVILIAN IN DANGER.
YOU DO WANT HIM, DON'T YOU?
OF COURSE WE WANT HIM,
BUT WE CAN'T USE YOU AS BAIT.
WELL, OK, YOU
THINK ABOUT IT, MAN,
AND WHILE YOU'RE DOING THAT,
I'M GOING AFTER THAT SUCKER,
WITH YOU OR WITHOUT YOU.
DON'T DO THAT.
LOOK, YOU'RE NOT
LISTENING TO ME, McCALL.
I'VE GOT TO DO THIS!
AND IF I HAVE TO DO
IT WITHOUT YOU, I WILL.
BECAUSE MY LIFE HAS
GONE SOUR NOW, MAN,
AND I GOT TO MAKE
IT SWEET AGAIN.
DON'T YOU KNOW BETTER THAN
TO BRING ME SOMETHING LIKE THIS?
LOOK, CHARLIE,
SPORTY'S GOING AFTER THIS
GUY WITH OR WITHOUT US.
DON'T YOU THINK IT'D BE BETTER
FOR HIM IF HE DID IT WITH US?
WE'RE NOT HAVING
THIS CONVERSATION.
I DO NOT GIVE PERMISSION
TO BREAK THE RULES.
BUT IF AN OFFICER HAS
AN EMERGENCY SITUATION
IN WHICH THERE'S A
CIVILIAN LIFE AT STAKE,
HE DOES WHATEVER'S
NECESSARY TO SAVE THAT LIFE.
I'VE ALWAYS FELT THIS.
YOU SPEAK ENGLISH?
¿COMO?
I SAID, DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH?
HE DOESN'T SPEAK ENGLISH.
OK. I WANT YOU TO TELL HIM
HE'S UNDER ARREST FOR MURDER,
THAT I'M GOING TO
TAKE HIM DOWNTOWN
TO VISIT HIS FRIEND MIGUEL.
I WANT YOU TO TELL HIM TO
PUT HIS HANDS BEHIND HIS HEAD,
AND TELL THESE PEOPLE AT THE BAR
NOT TO MAKE ONE MOVE.
IF THEY DO, I'M GONNA SHOOT YOU.
THANK YOU.
MOVE.
REAL EASY NOW, FOLKS.
STEP ASIDE. LET US THROUGH.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU,
THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
GOOD-BYE.

SPORTY JAMES ENTERPRISES
AND TRAVELING SHOW.
I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE A
BUSINESS PROPOSITION TO DISCUSS.
A VERY SIMPLE ONE.
$1 MILLION BUYS YOU ONE
TIGHT-LIPPED FRIEND... ME.
WHY SHOULD I EVEN
PAY YOU ONE DOLLAR?
MAN, DON'T WASTE MY TIME. I SAW
WHAT YOUR BOYS DID TO HARLEN.
AT LEAST 200 OR 300 PEOPLE
KNOW THAT THEY'RE YOUR BOYS.
YOU DO KNOW THAT THEY'RE
IN THE CAN, DON'T YOU?
YES, I KNOW.
SO WHEN IT COMES TIME TO
BREATHE THE GAS OR ROLL OVER,
WHAT DO YOU THINK
YOUR BOYS WILL DO?
WHAT IS YOUR PROPOSITION?
THE STATE'S GOT BUT
ONE WITNESS... ME.
YOU PAY ME THE MONEY,
AND I FINGER THE WRONG
DUDES IN THE LINEUP.
AND THEN I LEAVE THE COUNTRY.
SO HOW DO I GET THIS MONEY
TO YOU? WHERE ARE YOU?
DO YOU THINK I'M JUST DRIVING
AROUND HERE TO SEE L.A.?
I KNOW WHAT L.A. LOOKS LIKE.
SO HOW DO WE DEAL?
I WANT YOU TO CRAWL TO ME WITH
THE MONEY IN YOUR HAND, SUCKER.
THAT'S WHAT I WANT.
WHERE?
YOU BE AT L.A.X., 8:00
TOMORROW MORNING,
THE INTERNATIONAL LOUNGE.
NOW, LISTEN. YOU GET THERE
RIGHT AFTER YOU GO
THROUGH THAT LITTLE MACHINE.
YOU KNOW, THE ONE THAT'S
GOING TO KEEP ME ALIVE?
THE ONE THAT YOU CAN'T BRING
ANY GUNS OR KNIVES THROUGH?
I UNDERSTAND YOU CAN'T EVEN GET A
SERIOUS BELT BUCKLE THROUGH THERE, BOGOTA.
BUT YOU CAN GET SOME
GREEN PAPER THROUGH,
ABOUT ONE MILLION
DOLLARS' WORTH.
AND THEN I AM RID OF
YOU ONCE AND FOR ALL?
HEY, BABY, I MAY BE
GREEDY, BUT I'M NO FOOL.
I FIGURE I GOT ONE
GOOD STING LEFT IN ME,
AND AFTER THAT, I'M
NOT PRESSING MY LUCK.

HEY, MAN, YOU AREN'T BOGOTA.
DO YOU THINK I AM SO STUPID
THAT I WOULD DELIVER
THE MONEY TO YOU MYSELF?
AH, YOU ARE BOGOTA.
WELL, YOU KNOW, I DON'T LIKE
TO CARRY A LOT OF CASH ON ME.
I WANT THE MONEY.
UH, I LEFT IT IN A
LOCKER AT THE AIRPORT.
THE KEY!
WELL, I DON'T HAVE IT WITH ME.
YOU KNOW, I PASSED IT OFF

NOW, HOLD ON, MAN. HOLD ON.
IT'S IN MY SHOE, MY LEFT SHOE.
WE CAN MAKE A DEAL,
OK? YOU LET ME GO,

FRIEND FOR LIFE, BABY.
I SWEAR, I WON'T
IDENTIFY YOUR BOYS.
I SWEAR, I WON'T!
THAT IS RIGHT. YOU WILL NOT.
BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO KILL ME.
WHEN THEY GET BACK WITH
THE MONEY FROM THE AIRPORT,
THEN WE MAY DO THAT.
I MAY DO IT MYSELF.
HOLD IT!
COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP.
UHH!
WELL, HE'S DEAD.
I'VE NEVER...
KILLED ANYBODY IN MY LIFE.
YOU COULDN'T HELP IT, SPORTY.

THERE'S BEEN A THIEF HERE.

SAFE ABOUT IT, NOW, WOULDN'T YOU?
YOU THINK I'VE GOT IT.
HE DIDN'T HAVE TIME
TO STASH THE MONEY.
IT'S GOT TO BE IN ONE OF
THE LOCKERS. WHICH ONE IS IT?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT. I PUT IT RIGHT IN HERE.
IT'S EVIDENCE.

DON'T YOU, SPORTY?
WELL, YEAH.
WELL, THERE'S NOT GONNA BE
ANY MORE PLEASURE FOR YOU.
NOT A MINUTE OF IT. EVER.
NOT TILL WE SEE THE MONEY.
WE'RE GOING TO SEE TO
IT THAT YOU'RE FOLLOWED
EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY
FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE
BY 2 VERY MISERABLE, HONKY COPS.
YOU THOUGHT I WAS
SERIOUS, DIDN'T YOU?
HEY, MAN, I WAS JUST
JOKING WITH YOU.
HEY, SPORTY JAMES IS A
MAN WITH A SENSE OF HUMOR.
HOW MANY TIMES ARE WE
GONNA DO THIS, SPORTY?
HEY, THAT WAS IT,
HUNTER. THAT WAS IT.
BOGOTA'S MEN MUST
HAVE BEEN WATCHING ME
ALL THE WHILE!
I...
IT DOESN'T WASH, MAN.
NO, NO, NO. LOOK,
I'M TELLING YOU PEOPLE
THE BIBLE-BOUND TRUTH.
GOOD-BYE, PLEASURE.

SURE I KNOW HIM. EVERYBODY
KNOWS SPORTY JAMES.
HELLO, OFFICER.
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
I NEVER KNEW HIM TO DO
ANYTHING THAT CRAZY, THOUGH.
WHEN I GET MY NEXT VACATION,
I THINK I'M GONNA GO
CHECK OUT THE BAHAMAS.
Sporty: HEY, HEY, HEY! DON'T
WRINKLE THE THREADS, MAN.
COST ME SOME HARD GREEN.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
SO GOOD TO SEE
YOU, HUNTER, MY MAN.
WHAT'D HE DO?
THE GUY IS RUNNING DOWN
THE STREET LIKE HE'S ON FIRE.
PICKS UP A TRASH
CAN AND THROWS IT
CLEAR THROUGH A
PLATE GLASS WINDOW
OF A PAWN SHOP DOWN ON EUCLID.
SPORTY.
JUST A WHIM, HUNTER.
I JUST FINISHED BUSINESS...
YOU KNOW, A 3-MARTINI LUNCH...
WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN,
I HAD THIS PLAYFUL WHIM.
IT WAS ALL IN FUN, OFFICER,
AND I WILL BE VERY HAPPY
TO PAY THE DAMAGES.
SPORTY, YOU NEVER
HAD A WHIM IN YOUR LIFE
THAT COULDN'T SHOW A PROFIT.
YOU MISJUDGE ME,
SERGEANT McCALL.
YOU LOOK AT ME, AND YOU
SEE A MAN OF BUSINESS.
YOU DON'T SEE THE
REAL SPORTY JAMES...
A MAN OF FEELING,
A MAN OF IMPULSE.
A MAN WHO CAN STACK A LINE
OF BULL FROM HERE TO OXNARD.
SHE'S NOT JUST FOXY, MAN,
SHE'S SHARP. I LIKE HER.
MAN, YOU GOT A SHOVEL?
HUNTER? McCALL?
WE GOT A BODY AT
EUCLID AND COSGROVE.
MALE CAU, FOUND THIS MORNING.
ON EUCLID? YEAH.
EXCUSE ME.
I HAVE TO TALK TO THIS MAN
IN PRIVATE JUST FOR A MINUTE.
ALL RIGHT. BRING HIM
BACK WHEN YOU'RE FINISHED.
I HAVEN'T BOOKED HIM IN YET.
TO TELL THE TRUTH, HUNTER,
I AM PRESSED FOR TIME.
YOU KNOW, I GOT SOME
BUSINESS TO ATTEND TO.
YEAH.
I WOULD LIKE TO
CHAT WITH YOU, MAN...
WE'VE GOT BUSINESS,
TOO. THIS'LL BE PAINLESS.
BELIEVE ME. YOU'RE
GONNA LIKE THIS, SPORTY.
Sporty: HEY, MAN,
LOOK, I AM DRY!
I DON'T KNOW NOTHING.
HAVEN'T BEEN NOWHERE.
HAVEN'T SEEN NOBODY!
YOU WERE ON EUCLID?
YEAH. I WAS WRAPPING MY
MOUTH AROUND A COUPLE OF BEERS
WITH SOME BLOODS.
WHAT'D YOU SEE? ME? NOTHING.
I WAS JUST HANGING AROUND.
YOU KNOW ME, HUNTER.
YEAH, I DO KNOW
YOU. WHAT'D YOU SEE?
HA HA HA. YEAH, WE GO
BACK QUITE A WAYS, DON'T WE?
TOO FAR BACK. WHAT'D YOU SEE?
I'LL KEEP TELLING
YOU... NOTHING!
SPORTY, WE'VE GOT A DEAD
BODY ON EUCLID STREET.
YOU WERE RUNNING
DOWN THAT STREET.
YOU PICKED UP A TRASH CAN.
YOU THREW IT THROUGH
A PLATE GLASS WINDOW.
I WANT TO KNOW WHY.
I TOLD YOU WHY.
NOW, WOULD I LIE?
YES, YOU WOULD.
YOU THINK MAYBE
SPORTY KILLED THIS GUY?
OH, THAT'S CRAZY. I NEVER
HARMED ANYBODY IN MY LIFE,
AND BOTH OF YOU KNOW THAT.
YEAH, BUT YOU SEE, WE GOT A
REAL CRANKY BOSS OUT THERE,
AND HE'S GONNA WANT
TO KNOW ABOUT THIS...
GUY RUNNING DOWN THE STREET,
DEAD BODY AROUND THE CORNER.
OK, OK, OK.
NOW, LOOK, YOU ARE NOT
GONNA BELIEVE THIS, OK,
BUT HERE'S THE REAL DEAL.
NOW, I WAS WALKING
DOWN THE STREET,
MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS,
WITH NOTHING ON MY MIND
WHATSOEVER, YOU UNDERSTAND,
WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN,
THESE 2 BIG DUDES
COME RIGHT AFTER ME.
AND DIG THIS... THEY GOT HEAT!
THEY'RE READY TO SHOOT.
WHAT'D THEY LOOK LIKE?
LOOK LIKE? THEY LOOKED
LIKE 2 BIG DUDES WITH GUNS.
THAT'S WHAT THEY LOOKED LIKE.
I DIDN'T HANG AROUND
LOOKING AT THEIR FACES.
I STARTED RUNNING,
MAN! YOU KNOW?
AND I WAS THINKING REAL
FAST AND RUNNING FASTER
WHEN I SAW THIS POLICE
CAR, AND QUITE NATURALLY,
I BROKE THE WINDOW
TO GET THEIR ATTENTION.
SPORTY, WE GOT A
DEAD BODY ON EUCLID.
YOU SAW IT, RIGHT?
THAT IS THE END OF THE
STORY. THAT IS THE GOSPEL.
IF YOU WANT ANY MORE, YOU'LL
HAVE TO GO TO SOMEBODY ELSE.
IT'S GOING TO BE
AWFULLY DANGEROUS
OUT THERE ON THE STREET FOR YOU.
HUNTER, I WANT TO THANK
YOU FOR YOUR KIND CONCERN.
I WILL SEE YOU
AROUND. STAY COOL.
THANK YOU.
YOU BET.
SO THEN SHE SAYS
TO ME, "WHO ARE YOU?"
BILL AND BOB, GOOD TO SEE
YOU GUYS FEELING SO GOOD.
YEAH, AND WORKING SO HARD.
WE ARE. CAN'T YOU SEE WE ARE?
LISTEN, I'D LIKE YOU
GUYS TO DO ME A FAVOR.
WHEN SPORTY JAMES
GETS KICKED FREE,
I WANT YOU TO TAIL HIM FOR US.
WHY NOT YOU, HUNTER?
BECAUSE HE KNOWS WHO WE ARE.
HAVE WE GOT TIME TO DO OUR
COLLEAGUES THIS LITTLE FAVOR?
NO...
BUT FOR YOU, WE'LL
MAKE THE TIME.
I THANK YOU, AND MY
PARTNER THANKS YOU.
THE PEOPLE OF L.A. THANK YOU.
I LIKE THE WAY YOU TIE YOUR FLY.
OOH.
THAT'S A GOTCHA. SHE GOT YOU.
WE'RE WASTING OUR TIME.
THIS GUY'S GONNA RIDE ALL DAY.
OH, HUNTER, YOU ARE BAD, MAN,
SENDING THOSE JIVE
MONKEYS TO WATCH ME.
NOW, DON'T GO DOWN
THE ALLEY, ALL RIGHT?
HE'LL KNOW WE'RE FOLLOWING
HIM. GO UP AROUND THE BLOCK.
HEY! WHAT THE...
D.B.'S NAME IS PETER HARLEN.
36, LIVED IN THE MARINA.
LOOKS LIKE HE WAS BEAT UP
PRETTY BAD. NO WITNESSES.
Radio dispatcher:
L-56. L-56, COME IN.
L-56. GO AHEAD.
STAND BY, L-56. GO AHEAD, L-37.
Cop on radio: HUNTER,
WE LOST YOUR MAN.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THESE 2 FIELD
GENIUSES? HOW'D YOU DO THAT?
WELL, HE DROVE A CAR
INTO ONE END OF AN ALLEY,
AND WHEN IT CAME
OUT THE OTHER END,
A BLOND FOX IN HIGH
HEELS WAS DRIVING.
IT'S PARKED AT THE CORNER
OF MASON AND DENNER.
THANKS A MILLION, YOU GUYS.
HEY, LOOK. WE WERE DOING
YOU A FAVOR, YOU KNOW?
YEAH, I KNOW. STAY WITH THE CAR.
L-56 OUT.
SPORTY'S UP TO SOMETHING.
SPORTY'S ALWAYS UP TO SOMETHING.
YEAH, I KNOW THAT, BUT
IT REALLY AGGRAVATES ME
TO KNOW THAT HE'S HOLED
UP OUT THERE SOMEWHERE,
LAUGHING AT US.
EXCUSE ME, MA'AM,
UH, BUT I'D LIKE TO RENT A ROOM.
WHO ARE YOU?
I'M SERGEANT McCALL, METRO P.D.
YOU ARE MISS...
HOFFMEYER.
ROXANNE HOFFMEYER.
I LIVE HERE.
I THOUGHT PETER
HARLEN OWNED THIS BOAT.
HE DOES.
UM, HEH...
PETER AND I... YOU KNOW.
YEAH.
I HAVE A WARRANT
TO SEARCH THE BOAT.
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
PETER'S NOT EVEN HERE NOW.
I KNOW.
I'M SORRY TO HAVE TO TELL
YOU LIKE THIS, MISS HOFFMEYER.
PETER HARLEN IS DEAD.
NO, I...
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.
HE WAS ATTACKED
IN AN ALLEY. HE...
HE FELL AND BROKE HIS NECK.
THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING.
I'M SORRY.
UH... I KNOW THE
TIMING IS WAY OFF HERE,
BUT, UH...
YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO
HELP US FIND WHO DID IT.
COULD YOU ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS?
YEAH.
HOW LONG DID YOU
KNOW PETER HARLEN?
A LITTLE OVER A YEAR.
WHERE WAS HE EMPLOYED?
UM, PETER HAD HIS OWN BUSINESS.
HE WASN'T DOING VERY WELL.
HE STARTED DEALING COKE.
FULL-TIME?
NO. JUST TO DO SOME FAVORS
FOR IMPORTANT CLIENTS,
AND THEN IT GOT
BIGGER AND BIGGER.
ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO...
PETER WENT AWAY
FOR ABOUT 6 DAYS.
I DIDN'T ASK OR ANYTHING,
BUT I KNOW WHEN
HE TAKES THE BOAT...
THAT IT'S USUALLY FOR DRUGS.
ANYWAY, WHEN HE GOT
HOME, HE WAS REAL UPTIGHT.
AND THEN THE PHONE
CALLS STARTED.
WHAT PHONE CALLS?
SOME GUY WITH AN ACCENT.
ALL PETER EVER
CALLED HIM WAS BOGOTA.
YOU SAY THAT YOU FELT
PETER WAS AFRAID OF HIM?
YEAH. THEY THOUGHT PETER
WAS HOLDING OUT ON THEM.
SOME... DEAL THAT WENT SOUR.
THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE PETER
BECAUSE THERE WAS A
LOT OF MONEY INVOLVED.
MILLIONS, PETER SAID.
Sporty: YOU KNOW WHERE
THE PRODUCE HOTEL IS?
Woman on phone: ON PARKERDALE?
THAT'S RIGHT. MR. CLAXTON, 203.
I WANT YOU TO COME
OVER HERE REAL QUICK.

McCall: HIS NAME IS BOGOTA.
DID YOU EVER HEAR OF THE GUY?
NOPE.
YOU KNOW, MAYBE SPORTY ACCIDENTALLY
SAW BOGOTA'S MEN KILL HARLEN.
YEAH. I CAN'T SEEM TO
GET SPORTY OFF MY MIND.
WHAT IS IT? WHY DO I
LIKE THAT LITTLE RAT?
WELL, HE'S GREEDY, SELFISH,
TRICKY, RUDE, AND
OBNOXIOUS. WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE?
Woman: SPORTY, IT'S ME.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
DRESSED LIKE THAT?
WHAT IS GOING ON IN HERE?
AH HA HA HA HA!
WE ARE CELEBRATING, MAMA!
WE ARE CELEBRATING BEING RICH.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
MONEY! THAT'S WHAT I'M
TALKING ABOUT. MONEY.
NOT THE KIND WE GET,
THE KIND THEY GET.
ENOUGH MONEY. TOO MUCH MONEY!
HA HA! HA HA!
ALL YOU'VE GOT TO DO...
HEH.
IS GET ME IN TOUCH WITH BOGOTA.
BOGOTA?
WELL, NOW YOU'RE TALKING CRAZY.
COME ON. YOU KNOW HIM.
COME ON. I MEAN, YOU WOULDN'T
JIVE ME. YOU DO KNOW HIM?
YEAH, I'VE MET HIM,
BUT I DON'T KNOW HIM.
ANYWAY, SPORTY, IT'S NOT
SAFE TO KNOW THIS MAN.
NOW, LOOK, NOBODY'S
GONNA GET HURT, MARGUERITE.
ALL I'M TALKING ABOUT
IS A SIMPLE LITTLE
BUSINESS TRANSACTION.
HOW SIMPLE?
I SAW HIS BOYS KILL A DUDE
THIS MORNING. I WAS THERE, BABY.
AND THAT'S A MURDER
ONE CONSPIRACY RAP
THAT HE CAN'T BEAT BECAUSE
THOSE DUDES WERE HIS DUDES.
HE DON'T NEED NO
TROUBLE LIKE THAT.
IT OUGHT TO BE WORTH
A COOL MILLION, MAYBE 2.
A MILLION DOLLARS, MAYBE 2?
YEAH. EVER SINCE YOU TOLD
ME ABOUT THIS DUDE BOGOTA,
I BEEN TRYING TO THINK
WHAT TO DO WITH HIM,
AND THEN THIS THING JUST
FALLS INTO SPORTY'S LAP.
BABY, IT WAS SUPPOSED
TO HAPPEN. I CAN FEEL IT.
IT'S KARMA, BABY!
I DON'T KNOW, SPORTY.
YOU GET RICH, MAYBE YOU
WON'T WANT ME NO MORE.
HEH HEH. BABY, I'M NEVER
GONNA STOP LOVING YOU.
THAT'S WHY I WANT
THE BEST FOR YOU.
AND IN ORDER TO GET THE BEST,
WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO
SOMETHING, TAKE A CHANCE,
BECAUSE I BEEN HUSTLING OUT HERE
IN THESE DIRTY STREETS ALL MY LIFE.
NOW, THIS GUY'S GOT MILLIONS,
AND ONE OF THEM'S
GOING TO BE OURS.
OH, SPORTY, YOU HAVE
GOT TO BE CAREFUL.
BOGOTA KILLS PEOPLE,
EVEN IF HE JUST THINKS
THAT THEY'RE DOING
SOMETHING HE DON'T LIKE.
BUT, BABY, HE ALREADY KNOWS
THAT I GOT SOMETHING ON HIM.
I GOT NO CHOICE
BUT TO PLAY IT OUT.
HE'S GOING TO KILL ME
ANYWAY, MARGUERITE.
LOOK, ARE YOU GOING TO HELP ME?
ALL RIGHT...
BUT THIS MAN SCARES ME.
NO, NO, NO. LISTEN, LISTEN.
COME, SIT DOWN. SIT DOWN.
LOOK, I GOT IT ALL SET UP, BABY.
ALL YOU GOT TO DO IS GET A
MESSAGE TO THE GENTLEMAN.
WHAT DO I SAY?
TELL BOGOTA THAT SOMEBODY SAW
WHAT HAPPENED IN THAT ALLEY,
AND FAT WILLIAM WANTS
TO TALK TO HIM ABOUT IT.
SEE, I ALREADY
CALLED FAT WILLIAM
AND TOLD HIM TO GET
OUT OF TOWN, RIGHT?
BUT THAT'S ALL
YOU KNOW, YOU SEE?
YOU CAN EVEN TELL HIM
WHERE FAT WILLIAM LIVES
BECAUSE FAT WILLIAM
WON'T BE THERE. HA HA HA!
IS THAT ALL I HAVE TO DO?
WELL, YOU GOT TO GET
A NUMBER FROM BOGOTA
WHERE FAT WILLIAM CAN CALL HIM
AND TELL HIM THAT
FAT IS GONNA CALL YOU
FOR THAT NUMBER.
NO, NO, NO, BABY, LOOK, WITH
THIS AMOUNT OF SCRATCH,
WE'LL BE ABLE TO GO SO FAR
TILL THEY WON'T EVEN
BE ABLE TO CATCH US.
JUST THINK, MARGUERITE...
HOT NIGHTS
AND LONG, LAZY DAYS IN JAMAICA.
McCall: YOU KNOW, THERE'S
SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY LIFE.
I'M YOUNG, I'M WELL-EDUCATED,
I'M NOT BAD TO LOOK AT,
AND I HAVE JUST SPENT THE
ENTIRE DAY WITH STREET PEOPLE
AND CON ARTISTS AND
SWEATY WRESTLERS.
I JUST DO NOT
ENJOY DAYS LIKE THIS.
THERE'S SOMETHING
WRONG WITH THIS.
WHAT THE HELL ARE
YOU TALKING ABOUT?
WELL, I'M TALKING ABOUT... THIS.
THESE STREET
PEOPLE, CON ARTISTS,
HOOKERS, SWEATY WRESTLERS.
YOU KNOW, THEY POP
OUT OF THE WOODWORK.
THEY DISAPPEAR
BACK INTO THE CITY.
YOU EVER WONDER WHERE THEY GO?
RIGHT OVER THERE.
THAT'S HIM. PULL OVER.
Hunter: PAULIE.
LET ME ASK YOU A QUE...
WAIT A MINUTE!
PAULIE!
EVERY TIME YOU SEE ME, YOU RUN.
WHY?
BECAUSE I'M ALWAYS AFRAID
YOU'RE GONNA BUST ME!
LOOK, MAN. LOOK, LOOK, I'M
CLEAN. CLEAN AS LINOLEUM, MAN.
CHECK THAT OUT!
I DON'T WANT TO CHECK IT OUT.
NOW, I UNDERSTAND YOU'VE
BEEN WORKING FOR SPORTY JAMES.
THERE'S NOTHING
BUSTABLE, MAN. NOTHING.
YOU KNOW SPORTY. HE'S
LIKE THE C.I.A. OF THE STREET.
WHERE CAN I FIND SPORTY?
I DON'T KNOW, MAN. GOD'S TRUTH.
I HAVEN'T SEEN
HIM IN... IN DAYS.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE
YOU FIND HIM, MAN!
I HEARD... I HEARD THAT
HE'S BEEN HIDING OUT
FROM SOME BIG COKE
KNOCKER, THAT'S ALL.
TURN AROUND.
OH! GIRLFRIEND, MAN. GIRLFRIEND.
HE'S GOT A GIRLFRIEND.
SPORTY'S GOT A GIRLFRIEND? YEAH.
YEAH, A REAL... SPECIAL
KIND OF GIRLFRIEND.
WHAT'S HER NAME?
UM... MONTERO.
MARGUERITE MONTERO.
THAT'S HER NAME.
WHERE CAN I FIND MARGUERITE?
CORNER OF FENNIMORE AND COSWELL.
SHE'S THE LOOKOUT
FOR A ROCK HOUSE, MAN.
UH, YEAH. YEAH.
YEAH, MAN. YEAH, UH...
YEAH, SHE'LL BE OUT

ITTY-BITTY GIRL, MAN.
MISS MONTERO?
YES?
I'M SERGEANT McCALL.
THIS IS SERGEANT HUNTER.
WE'RE WITH METRO P.D.
I'M SURE THAT YOU'VE
HEARD SPORTY MENTION US.
I HAVE.
WE HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE
YOU KNOW WHERE SPORTY IS.
WE'D LIKE TO HELP HIM.
NO, I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS.
YOU SEEM FRIGHTENED. ARE YOU?
NO. I JUST DON'T
KNOW WHERE HE IS.
WE HAPPEN TO THINK YOU DO.
WELL, WHAT'S SPORTY DONE?
WELL, NOTHING YET,
BUT HIS LIFE IS IN DANGER,
AND IF YOU HAPPEN
TO KNOW WHERE HE IS,
WE'D APPRECIATE
YOU TELLING US SO.
LOOK, I DON'T SEE HIM NO MORE,
AND I JUST DON'T
KNOW WHERE HE IS.
IF YOU DO SEE HIM OR
YOU HEAR FROM HIM,
GIVE ME A CALL AT THAT NUMBER.
YOU COULD BE SAVING HIS LIFE.
Man: BELIEVE ME,
THE D.E.A. HAS BEEN ON BOGOTA'S
TRAIL FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS.
WE'VE ASSIGNED ONE OF OUR
TOP UNITS, BUT SO FAR, ZIP.
YOU'RE WELL AWARE OF THE
HOUSE ON COSWELL STREET?
YOU WON'T FIND A
HONCHO LIKE BOGOTA
WITHIN 20 MILES OF A ROCK HOUSE.
COKE BOSSES IN COLOMBIA
RAMROD BOTH ENDS
OF THEIR COCAINE PIPELINE NOW...
PRODUCTION AND DELIVERY,
AND THEY STAY OUT OF SALES.
SO WHAT ARE YOU SAYING,
THAT BOGOTA'S UNTOUCHABLE?
NO. HE'S THE ENFORCER,
THE MUSCLE BEHIND A $100
MILLION-A-YEAR OPERATION.
IF HE'S SO PROLIFIC, WHY
HAVEN'T YOU NABBED HIM YET?
WELL, WE GOT A
COUPLE OF PROBLEMS...
LIKE, WHAT DOES HE LOOK LIKE,
WHERE DOES HE LIVE?
WELL, WE'RE LOOKING FOR A MAN
THAT WITNESSED 2 OF
BOGOTA'S THUGS KILL A DEALER.
DEALER'S NAME WAS PETER HARLEN.
THE LAST PERSON THAT OFFERED
TO TESTIFY AGAINST BOGOTA
WOUND UP ON THE WRONG
END OF A CHAIN SAW.
OH, WELL, THANKS
FOR THE INFORMATION.
YOU KNOW, IF METRO HOMICIDE
TAGS BOGOTA BEFORE WE DO,
THE D.E.A. COULD
LOOK PRETTY SILLY.
YEAH.
WE SHOULD PROBABLY
STAY IN TOUCH, HUH?
YEAH. LET'S DO THAT.
YEAH. WE'LL DO THAT.
HELLO, MARGUERITE.
YOU WANT TO SEE ME?
A MAN PAID ME TO
GIVE YOU A MESSAGE.
WHAT MAN?
THEY CALL HIM FAT WILLIAM.
HE TALKS TO ME ON
THE STREET ALL THE TIME.
CHECK ON HIM.
WHAT IS THE MESSAGE?
HE SAID TO TELL YOU THAT SOMEBODY
SAW WHAT HAPPENED IN THE ALLEY
AND THAT THE SOMEBODY
CAN IDENTIFY THE KILLERS,
AND IT'LL COST $1 MILLION
TO KEEP THIS MAN QUIET.
SOMEBODY?
SPORTY JAMES, YOU MEAN.
I DON'T KNOW WHO THE MAN
IS. FAT WILLIAM KNOWS HIM.
WHERE IS HE? I DON'T KNOW.
WHERE IS FAT WILLIAM?
FAT WILLIAM'S OUT OF TOWN.
HE'S BEEN GONE SINCE YESTERDAY.
HE TRUSTED YOU WITH A MESSAGE.
SURELY HE MUST HAVE
TOLD YOU WHERE TO FIND HIM.
NO. I SWEAR HE DIDN'T.
HE JUST SAID TO DELIVER THE
MESSAGE, AND HE WOULD CONTACT ME.
HE WOULD FIND ME.
AND THAT TO GET A NUMBER
WHERE HE COULD CALL YOU.
TSK, TSK, TSK, TSK.
WHAT A PITY.
SUCH A PRETTY FACE.
TOO BAD THE MOUTH
TELLS SO MANY LIES.
FIND OUT WHAT SHE KNOWS.
YOU CAN LIE TO ME...
BUT TO THEM YOU
WILL SPEAK THE TRUTH.
AAAAH!
VICTIM'S NAME IS
MARGUERITE MONTERO.
LOOKS LIKE HER RIBS ARE
CRUSHED, HER ARMS BROKEN.
SHE REALLY TOOK SOME PUNISHMENT.
THEY MADE IT SLOW,
AND THEY MADE IT HURT.
WHAT WAS THE ACTUAL
CAUSE OF DEATH, BARNEY?
PROBABLY INTERNAL BLEEDING
OR A BONE FRAGMENT IN HER LUNGS.
McCall: THANKS.
THINK WE CAN FIND
SPORTY BEFORE THEY DO?
WELL, WELL, WELL.
WHO NEEDS A SHINE?
HOW ARE YOU DOING, KIRBY?
HI, HUNTER, McCALL.
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
NOT VERY GOOD.
HAVEN'T FOUND SPORTY
YET, SO WE'RE BACK.
I AIN'T SEEN HIM OR
HEARD FROM HIM.
YOU KNOW SPORTY.
HE'S A SECRET MAN.
ALWAYS GOT THOSE WHEELS TURNING.
NO TELLING WHERE THAT FOOL'S AT.
KIRBY, WE DON'T
WANT TO ARREST HIM.
HE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING.
WE JUST WANT TO FIND HIM
BEFORE ANYTHING
COULD HAPPEN TO HIM.
YOU'RE JUST REPEATING YOURSELF,
SERGEANT. I GOT NOTHING FOR YOU.
MARGUERITE'S DEAD.
OH, NO.
SWEET, PRETTY LITTLE THING.
BEAT HER UP PRETTY BAD
BEFORE THEY LET HER DIE.
WHY?
BECAUSE THEY'RE
LOOKING FOR SPORTY.
KIRBY, COME ON, GIVE US A BREAK.
HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW
HOW MUCH TROUBLE HE'S IN.
I CAN'T. YOU KNOW HOW IT IS.
SPORTY'S MY FRIEND.
I'D LIKE TO HELP, BUT I
DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS.
YEAH, WE KNOW HOW IT IS, KIRBY.
WE'RE JUST GONNA HAVE TO
FIND SPORTY ON OUR OWN, I GUESS.
OK.
YEAH.
Kirby on telephone:
SPORTY? KIRBY.
HEY, KIRBY, WHAT YOU GOT FOR ME?
HUNTER AND McCALL
ARE LOOKING FOR YOU.
THIS IS NOT NEWS, KIRBY.
I TOLD THEM I DIDN'T
KNOW WHERE YOU WERE,
JUST LIKE YOU SAID, BUT...
BUT WHAT?
THEY WANT TO SEE YOU BAD.
THEY SAID THEY HAVE
SOMETHING REAL IMPORTANT
TO TELL YOU... SOMETHING
REAL IMPORTANT.
WELL, WHAT IS IT?
THEY WOULDN'T TELL ME.
MAYBE YOU OUGHT TO CALL THEM.
LOOK, KEEP YOUR
MOUTH TIGHT, MAN.
I'M ABOUT TO MAKE THE BIGGEST
MOVE OF MY CAREER HERE,
AND I DON'T NEED THOSE
TWO MESSING UP MY MIND.
OK, SPORTY. TALK TO YOU LATER.
YEAH, SOLLIS, IT'S McCALL.
I NEED A RECORDS CHECK
ON A PAY PHONE NUMBER.
555-9273.
YEAH. I NEED THE TELEPHONE
NUMBER AND THE ADDRESS.
AND WHEN YOU GET IT, GIVE ME A
CALL IN THE CAR, ALL RIGHT? THANKS.
SORRY, KIRBY. WE
GOT TO FIND SPORTY.
JUST DON'T LET
SPORTY KNOW IT WAS ME.
I WOULDN'T LET HIM
DOWN FOR ANYTHING.
YOU'RE A GOOD FRIEND.
HE'LL UNDERSTAND THAT.
JUST DON'T LET NOTHING
HAPPEN TO OLD SPORTY.
WE WON'T. THANKS.
McCall: COME ON,
SPORTY, OPEN UP!
OH!
Hunter: YEAH, IT'S
YOUR FAVORITE COPS.
OH!
HOW? HOW DID YOU FIND ME?
HMM? KIRBY. THE
TELEPHONE. RIGHT?
RIGHT.
THAT KIRBY, YOU
KNOW, HE'S ALL RIGHT,
BUT HE AIN'T TOO BRIGHT.
LOOK, I'M KIND OF BUSY.
WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?
WELL, THE PROBLEM IS,
SPORTY, YOU'RE HIDING OUT.
WAIT A MINUTE. I
THINK I REMEMBER
HAVING THIS CONVERSATION BEFORE.
THE ONLY THING
IS, I ALSO REMEMBER
TELLING YOU THAT I
DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING.
WE KNOW THAT, BUT THE
GAME HAS CHANGED A LITTLE BIT.
LOOK, YOU TWO
AREN'T GOING TO ASK ME
THE SAME OLD QUESTIONS
AGAIN NOW, ARE YOU?
SPORTY, MARGUERITE'S DEAD.
YOU'RE LYING, MAN.
SHE'S NOT DEAD.
SPORTY, WE WOULDN'T TELL
YOU THAT IF IT WASN'T TRUE.
YOU'RE TRYING TO TRAP ME.
Hunter: NO, WE'RE NOT.
THEY FOUND HER
BODY THIS MORNING.
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO...
NO, NO, NO.
NO! NO.
HOW? HOW? WHAT... WHAT HAPPENED?
WELL, THE PEOPLE THAT KILLED HER
WANTED HER TO TALK ABOUT
YOU, BUT WE DON'T THINK SHE DID.
YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT SHE
DIDN'T, MAN! I KNOW SHE DIDN'T,
BECAUSE IF SHE HAD, I WOULDN'T
BE STANDING HERE TALKING TO YOU!
I'D BE DEAD!
OH, MAN, I SENT HER. I
SENT HER TO THE DUDE.
LOOK, HUNTER, YOU GOT
TO HELP ME GET HIM, MAN.
YOU GOT TO HELP ME
PUT THE MARK ON HIM, MAN.
HE ORDERED THE KILLING,
AND I'M GOING TO GET HIM, MAN.
YOU SEE THAT? YOU SEE THAT?
THAT IS WHERE I GOT HIM!
HE IS A DEAD MAN, MAN!
HE JUST DON'T KNOW
IT YET. THAT'S ALL.
SEE, BECAUSE I'M IMPORTANT TO
HIM NOW. HE'LL COME OUT FOR ME.
SPORTY, YOU'LL GET
YOURSELF KILLED.
WE WANT YOU OUT OF THIS. ALL WE
WANT YOU TO DO IS TESTIFY FOR US.
WHAT GOOD IS THAT
GOING TO DO, MAN?
YOU DON'T KNOW
WHERE TO FIND HIM.
YOU DON'T KNOW
HOW TO FIND HIM. I CAN.
WE CAN'T LET YOU PUT YOUR
LIFE ON THE LINE, SPORTY.
LOOK, TELL ME SOMETHING.
WHAT DO YOU LIVE FOR?
HUH? WHAT MAKES YOU
GET UP IN THE MORNING, HMM?
ALL THAT TALK ABOUT WORK
AND DUTY, HUH? AND ALL THAT?
HUMAN BEINGS, MAN, ARE THE
ONLY ANIMALS ON GOD'S GOOD EARTH
WHO DON'T KNOW THAT THE ONLY
REASON FOR LIVING IS PLEASURE.
WHEN I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING,
I GET UP BECAUSE, MAN,
THE STREETS ARE OUT THERE.
AND I GOT TO WHEEL AND DEAL
AND MOVE AND SHAKE, YOU KNOW?
BECAUSE I LOVE IT.
BUT NOW ALL THAT'S GONE, MAN.
THE PLEASURE'S GONE.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M... YOU DIG
WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY, MAN?
IF I DON'T HELP TO
PUT THIS SCUM AWAY,
IF I DON'T MAKE IT UP TO
MARGUERITE FOR WHAT I DID TO HER,
ALL THE PLEASURE'S GONE. I
WILL JUST DIE SLOW. THAT'S ALL.
I MEAN, I HAVE GOT
TO GET HIM, MAN,
NO MATTER WHAT!
SPORTY, WE CAN'T PUT
A CIVILIAN IN DANGER.
YOU DO WANT HIM, DON'T YOU?
OF COURSE WE WANT HIM,
BUT WE CAN'T USE YOU AS BAIT.
WELL, OK, YOU
THINK ABOUT IT, MAN,
AND WHILE YOU'RE DOING THAT,
I'M GOING AFTER THAT SUCKER,
WITH YOU OR WITHOUT YOU.
DON'T DO THAT.
LOOK, YOU'RE NOT
LISTENING TO ME, McCALL.
I'VE GOT TO DO THIS!
AND IF I HAVE TO DO
IT WITHOUT YOU, I WILL.
BECAUSE MY LIFE HAS
GONE SOUR NOW, MAN,
AND I GOT TO MAKE
IT SWEET AGAIN.
DON'T YOU KNOW BETTER THAN
TO BRING ME SOMETHING LIKE THIS?
LOOK, CHARLIE,
SPORTY'S GOING AFTER THIS
GUY WITH OR WITHOUT US.
DON'T YOU THINK IT'D BE BETTER
FOR HIM IF HE DID IT WITH US?
WE'RE NOT HAVING
THIS CONVERSATION.
I DO NOT GIVE PERMISSION
TO BREAK THE RULES.
BUT IF AN OFFICER HAS
AN EMERGENCY SITUATION
IN WHICH THERE'S A
CIVILIAN LIFE AT STAKE,
HE DOES WHATEVER'S
NECESSARY TO SAVE THAT LIFE.
I'VE ALWAYS FELT THIS.
YOU SPEAK ENGLISH?
¿COMO?
I SAID, DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH?
HE DOESN'T SPEAK ENGLISH.
OK. I WANT YOU TO TELL HIM
HE'S UNDER ARREST FOR MURDER,
THAT I'M GOING TO
TAKE HIM DOWNTOWN
TO VISIT HIS FRIEND MIGUEL.
I WANT YOU TO TELL HIM TO
PUT HIS HANDS BEHIND HIS HEAD,
AND TELL THESE PEOPLE AT THE BAR
NOT TO MAKE ONE MOVE.
IF THEY DO, I'M GONNA SHOOT YOU.
THANK YOU.
MOVE.
REAL EASY NOW, FOLKS.
STEP ASIDE. LET US THROUGH.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU,
THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
GOOD-BYE.
"I CAN'T BE FOUND,
BUT I CAN BE BOUGHT."
SPORTY JAMES ENTERPRISES
AND TRAVELING SHOW.
I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE A
BUSINESS PROPOSITION TO DISCUSS.
A VERY SIMPLE ONE.
$1 MILLION BUYS YOU ONE
TIGHT-LIPPED FRIEND... ME.
WHY SHOULD I EVEN
PAY YOU ONE DOLLAR?
MAN, DON'T WASTE MY TIME. I SAW
WHAT YOUR BOYS DID TO HARLEN.
AT LEAST 200 OR 300 PEOPLE
KNOW THAT THEY'RE YOUR BOYS.
YOU DO KNOW THAT THEY'RE
IN THE CAN, DON'T YOU?
YES, I KNOW.
SO WHEN IT COMES TIME TO
BREATHE THE GAS OR ROLL OVER,
WHAT DO YOU THINK
YOUR BOYS WILL DO?
WHAT IS YOUR PROPOSITION?
THE STATE'S GOT BUT
ONE WITNESS... ME.
YOU PAY ME THE MONEY,
AND I FINGER THE WRONG
DUDES IN THE LINEUP.
AND THEN I LEAVE THE COUNTRY.
SO HOW DO I GET THIS MONEY
TO YOU? WHERE ARE YOU?
DO YOU THINK I'M JUST DRIVING
AROUND HERE TO SEE L.A.?
I KNOW WHAT L.A. LOOKS LIKE.
SO HOW DO WE DEAL?
I WANT YOU TO CRAWL TO ME WITH
THE MONEY IN YOUR HAND, SUCKER.
THAT'S WHAT I WANT.
WHERE?
YOU BE AT L.A.X., 8:00
TOMORROW MORNING,
THE INTERNATIONAL LOUNGE.
NOW, LISTEN. YOU GET THERE
RIGHT AFTER YOU GO
THROUGH THAT LITTLE MACHINE.
YOU KNOW, THE ONE THAT'S
GOING TO KEEP ME ALIVE?
THE ONE THAT YOU CAN'T BRING
ANY GUNS OR KNIVES THROUGH?
I UNDERSTAND YOU CAN'T EVEN GET A
SERIOUS BELT BUCKLE THROUGH THERE, BOGOTA.
BUT YOU CAN GET SOME
GREEN PAPER THROUGH,
ABOUT ONE MILLION
DOLLARS' WORTH.
AND THEN I AM RID OF
YOU ONCE AND FOR ALL?
HEY, BABY, I MAY BE
GREEDY, BUT I'M NO FOOL.
I FIGURE I GOT ONE
GOOD STING LEFT IN ME,
AND AFTER THAT, I'M
NOT PRESSING MY LUCK.

I MAY DO IT MYSELF.
HOLD IT!
COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP.
