I can't believe this
moment's really here.
Me too.
How do I get a pound of this?
2 million.
I want what's mine,
and I want it now!
Freeze!
Police!
Kenny?
Now, how did you
disappear so fast?
'Cause I'm Kenny
Dunstan, that's how.
You know, I really believe
Kenny Dunstan is a legend.
The joke's on you dudes!
You're a laugh riot, Alice.
Get in.
Flight
047 from Hong Kong and Honolulu
is now arriving at Gate 9.
Arriving passenger from
Hong Kong, Mr. Sean Lynch,
please contact airport security
on the white courtesy phone.
Hello, Randall.
Hello, Rose.
I can't believe this
moment's really here.
Me too.
Oh.
Oh, thank you.
They're beautiful.
So are you.
I... I do have more luggage.
Um.
Oh!
Well, let's go get it, huh?
It's a good thing you
got here when you did.
You know, my phone bill
was going to be so big,
we could have but that whole
damn plane you came in on.
I figure with blood
tests and all,
we could get married
the day after tomorrow.
Course, there's no rush.
We wait till the weekend,
we could get married
on our first anniversary.
A year ago Saturday,
I saw your picture
in Mr. Tanton's brochure,
and I sent you a letter.
"Dear Miss Rose, it feels kind
of funny writing to somebody
I've never met.
But I'll give a try
and see what happens."
I guess it sort of
did happen, didn't it?
It's the oldest house
on the block, Rose.
It's about 30 years old.
It's got an original floor plan.
It's one of the things
I really like about it.
See, not many houses around here
have an original floor plan.
It's a lot bigger on the inside
than it looks from the outside.
It's beautiful.
There's only one bedroom,
so I'll stay on the couch
until after the wedding.
I'll get your other bags.
Oh, Rose, feel free
to look around.
Er, make yourself at home.
Hey, Rose, you weren't
kid when you said you had
your whole life packed in here.
If I moved halfway around the
world, I'd do the same thing.
What do you think, Rose?
Rose?
Where are you, Rose?
Rose?
Hey, Rosie?
Where are you, Rose?
Rose?
Rose!
Rose!
You must be done
with your typing,
because, uh, you are now
obviously just loafing.
I don't consider reading about
the Chicago Cubs..
Hey, Rick.
I gotta talk to you.
- Hey, Randall.
How are you?
- I'm OK.
But I... I got a big problem now.
I... I... I gotta...
I gotta talk to you.
I haven't seen you a long while.
You remember Sergeant McCall?
We... you remember Randall.
We served together.
Look, I... I got a big problem.
Can we go somewhere?
Well, uh, OK.
Uh, we'll be at, uh, Rex's.
Yeah.
You're not gonna believe
a word I'm gonna tell you.
Oh yeah?
This guy named Tanton.
He puts out a book
that... that list's
women from all over
the Orient that
want to marry American men.
So you... you pick somebody
you're interested in.
You... you write back and forth.
You talk on the phone.
If everything works
out, you both agree,
Tanton sets up the
travel arrangements,
brings the girl over, and...
And he collects his fee.
OK, now, look, Randall.
Isn't there a possibility
that when you got Rose home,
she took one good
look at your profile,
and she realized that you
weren't the apple of her eye?
Now, Rick, you're wrong!
She liked me, and I
know she liked me.
It just doesn't set right.
She left everything at
my house but her handbag,
and she's a million miles
away from her family.
It doesn't make sense!
Hey, Randall.
Relax, OK?
A missing person is not
a crime, now sit down.
Just relax.
Look, there's nothing I can
do in this case officially.
I can't even take a
report on this girl
for the next 72 hours.
Well, that's too long, Rick.
I need help now.
I can't handle this by myself.
I... I... I...
I know that, I know that.
Just relax.
Calm down.
Now, look.
Rose disappeared for a reason.
And we're going to find out
what that reason is, OK?
Come by my office at 12:30.
I'll take an extended lunch.
We'll drive across town,
we'll go see Leo Tanton.
How about that?
Well, it's a... it's a start.
Yeah, you bet.
Sorry, buddy.
I... I owe you one.
Randall, it would take another
war to repay what I owe you.
Like I've been saying
for the past 20 minutes,
I've been bringing brides
over here for six years,
and I've never...
I mean never, ever...
Had any problems.
You say she just disappeared,
left the bags, and poof?
She left everything but the
bag she carried off the plane.
I... I don't know what to say.
Frankly, I'm very
embarrassed, sergeant.
But I don't know how
I can help, but I'd
be glad to cooperate with you
in every single way that I can.
Well, I appreciate
your time, Mr. Tanton.
Ah, you reach me at
Metropolitan Police Department.
The number in the
lower right-hand corner
is a direct line to my desk.
Uh, sergeant, can
I have another card
from my secretary, Sharon?
She wants to file it.
- Oh.
Yeah, sure.
Good idea.
Yeah.
Let me walk you out.
Thanks very much.
And listen, uh, Mr. Fane.
Just keep the faith.
We'll find that girl for you.
Z Club.
Yeah.
Uh, uh, Mr. Zole, please.
Who wants him?
Leo Tanton.
Hang on.
Zole.
Hey!
Mr. Zole, how are you doing?
What's going on?
I told you never
to call me here.
Well, uh, listen it's
just a little problem.
You know, it's a girl, you know?
Uh, she disappeared... I...
Before I could get that.
She what?
We've been doing
business for 11 months.
We never had a problem.
Don't worry about that, Mr.
Zole, you know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, I'm very
optimistic that I'm going to...
Yeah... bring her back.
Yeah.
Oh.
I'm glad you are optimistic.
Let me remind you.
We still have
business to conclude,
and you still have got one hour.
Get on him.
I'm going to find
out what's going on.
Sharon, take all messages.
I'll be back at 4:30.
Yes.
OK, Mr. Tanton.
Kenny?
I'll be right home.
It just hit the fan.
Yeah.
Hunter.
This is Leo Tanton.
Look, man.
I need help right now.
There are two guys who are
trying to get in to kill me.
W... wait.
W... where are you?
I'm a 2420 South Beverly Glen.
Just get over here, will you?
Hey, Leo, open the door.
Come on, man.
I know you're in there.
Look, I just want
to talk to you, OK?
Come on out and we'll
discuss the problem.
If you don't open the
door, I'm gonna kick it in.
Get outta here.
Tanton's dead.
Oh, wow.
Have you ever actually
looked at this brochure?
Listen to this.
"Mei Lin.
Beautiful, petite,
long black hair.
Hobbies include
cooking, cleaning,
her deep oil massage."
Hey, deep oil massage, huh?
Maybe I should look
into this personally.
This is the kind of thing
for those men that have...
Have stereotypical
fantasies about finding
some kind of a slave woman.
It's... it's like for the
American man who cannot handle
the modern American woman.
No, wait a minute now.
A modern American
woman can be very, uh...
I'll use the word
"intimidating" for now.
And I can see where a
very sensitive and shy
man like Randall Fane would seek
out, uh, other alternatives.
Alternative?
What?
Wait a minute.
What is intimidating
about a woman
that has her own sense
of self, her own purpose,
her wrong strength?
What... this is the 20th century.
What are you talking about?
I said, some
people feel that way.
I don't.
Some people.
No, right, you don't.
No, you've never even ever
thought of those thoughts,
have you?
That's right.
So what about this
Randall guy, anyway?
Now, what does that mean?
Well, you know, I don't
want to have to pry.
You... oh.
You don't want to pry?
You, who should have
her own talk show?
What is it about you?
Why is it that
every single time I
meet a friend of
yours from your past,
like Randall, you say we
served during the war?
We did.
Well, you don't say
we served in Vietnam.
You say we served
during the war.
So where'd you serve, anyway?
In Burbank?
You're a laugh riot, Alice.
Get in.
Still didn't answer my question.
That's because...
I know I didn't.
That's because I'm concerned
about this hot oil situation.
According to Narcotics,
Tanton and Jade
Brides have been in business
for over six years, all clean.
If this is a drug
operation, it's
the first they've heard of it.
And what about all these women?
Don't they have anything
that can help us?
Every bride that
we talked to who
came over in the last 11 months
brought a gift for Tanton.
Now, apparently an associate of
his in Hong Kong gave them each
a carry-on bag filled
with, uh, antiques.
You know, Burmese carvings,
jewelry, that kind of thing.
As soon as the girls got to
LA, Tanton paid them a visit
and got the bag.
These girls are... well,
they seem innocent.
I mean, they have modest
homes, modest jobs.
I don't think they're smugglers.
At least not knowingly.
Hm.
And if it is a
smuggling outfit, uh,
maybe someone got wind
of it, and poor Rose
got caught in the middle.
And Tanton gets nailed because
he doesn't produce the goods?
- Right.
- Who would have ripped him off?
Who else would know
about the operation?
When we went back
to Tanton's office,
his secretary wasn't there.
We wanted to, uh...
We wanted to get a client list.
And, uh... well, she
had to pick the lock.
Please!
When you pull a stunt
like that, do me a favor...
Don't tell me about it.
What'd you tell him for?
Sorry.
It's about time you got here.
I gotta get moving.
I gotta see a friend who
got all the contacts.
It's gonna to be
soon now, darling.
Aw.
K... Kenny, be careful.
Promise me!
I promise!
Aw.
Oh, honey.
Th... there's nothing
to be afraid of.
W... we're not going to hurt you.
W... we just have to take
care of some business.
Then we'll let you go.
Don't... oh, don't cry.
Don't cry.
No.
Oh.
Oh, it... it's going
to be fine, honey.
Really.
I promise.
That's better.
Oh!
I went to the store.
I got some things for the house.
I... I got you some Chun
King and some Top Ramen.
Doesn't that sound good?
Hey, Sporty.
How you doing?
You look exactly
like Kenny Dunstan.
But you can't be, because Kenny
Dunstan would have come by
to say hi to his old
friend Sporty James
after being out of the
slam for two months, three
weeks, and four days.
Hey.
I'm not impressed, Sporty.
I mean, after all,
my release was not,
uh, such a big secret, you know.
But, uh, I sit corrected.
You're right.
I should've come around sooner.
And after all, I, uh, I gotta...
I... I gotta ask you
for a big favor.
OK, I accept your
gracious apology.
How can I be of service
this time, Kenny?
Wh... has he had lunch yet?
Uh, oh yeah, Chief.
Uh.
Si.
I need the name of somebody
high up in the trade.
Uh, plumbers, carpenters,
brick masons... what trade?
Man, you have dialed
the wrong number.
Ah, wait.
I made my grandpa a
gospel promise, man.
I don't use dope,
I don't sell dope,
and I don't do favors
for dopes who do do dope.
Dope.
Don't get me wrong, Sporty.
No, no, no.
Look, I'm not into
the drug scene.
I never have been.
Come on.
And I don't mean to imply
you are either, my friend.
Believe me.
I... I just...
I need a name.
That's it.
You need a name?
Er, but you and...
You and Curtis
are... are buddies.
Why don't you ask him?
I can't find the guy.
Yeah, I guess not.
Uh.
You know, I think that my
conscience will allow me
to help you in this
small personal matter,
if you know what I mean.
Of course, no question.
But I want you to
do me one small favor.
Er, just, uh, forget
who directed you to him.
OK?
All right, I got one, I got one.
I see you, I see you.
Don't do it all in one
place there, homeboy.
Oh.
The police, the
police, the police.
Chumps, chumps, chumps.
It's a good day man.
You know, I'm making
plenty of cash today.
Curtis!
Kenny Dunstan!
Haha!
The man, the myth,
in the flesh, eh?
No wonder you spend most of
your life in the joint, man.
I could've been Dick Tracy here.
Yeah, but you wasn't, was you?
Now, I can smell a cop, man.
And, uh, right now, I ain't
smelling nothing except what
you're burning to tell me.
Now, what was it you couldn't
talk about on the phone?
You get into a little nose
action since I seen you last,
and you want Curtis to
tighten you up, right?
I'll tell you, that son of a...
I got something to sell.
- Yeah?
Yeah.
Now, uh, I want to get
in touch with a big man.
I don't care who he
is, as long as he got
plenty of cash and connections.
The same old
high flying Kenny Dunstan.
I couldn't get a meeting
with the big man around here.
Now, you think you
can just... what?
What?
See that?
Now, you give that
to a heavy supplier.
All right?
That's a free sample,
and it ain't cocaine.
Kenny, Kenny, Kenny.
You, uh... you tell the man
that I got three kilos of that.
And you see what he says
about that, all right?
All right, all right, yeah.
Yeah, for real, man.
Yo, uh, Kenny, Kenny!
Er, look... how do I get
in touch with you, baby?
I find you.
Yeah, right, right,
right, I forgot.
Look, I'll be waiting to
hear from you, you know?
You know my time, you know
my schedule, all right?
I'll be right here, OK?
Be back same time, uh, you know.
I'll be here.
Are you sure this is legal?
I never go into a
tenant's apartment
without calling first.
Well, I can appreciate that.
However, like I said,
Sharon's boss was murdered.
She's not at his office, and she
isn't answering her phone here.
So maybe, you know...
Do you mean we might
find a dead body in there?
Well, uh, you know,
you can't tell what
we're going to find in there.
Oh.
But let's just go take a look.
Oh my god.
What are you doing here?
Did you do this?
Of course not.
Look, I called Tanton's home.
Somebody else answers the phone
and wants to know who I am.
So I go down to his
office, nobody's there.
But I find Sharon's
address on a Rolodex.
I come here, the door's busted
open, the place is a wreck.
What is going on here, Hunter?
Well the guy you talked
to, Randall, was a cop.
Tanton's been murdered.
- What?
- Yeah.
Now, look.
When... when Rose arrived, did
she saying thing about, uh,
bringing Tanton a gift?
Yeah.
She mentioned something
about it when we were
driving back from the airport.
- Uh-huh.
Well, it seems that every
bride that's come across
in the last year
or so have brought
a little gift from Mr. Tanton.
And what is that
supposed to mean?
Well, it means that
Tanton was using the girls...
Rose had nothing to do with it.
She didn't know
what she was doing.
Well, what were
they bringing back?
I haven't the slightest idea.
Hey, you, whoever you are!
Are you going to pay
to fix that door?
Are you going to clean
up this apartment?
Well?
I want to know who's going to
pay to fix that busted door!
Honey, just turn around here.
See if you can pick up
something and straighten up.
I'll be with you
in just a second.
Come here.
I want you to go home.
Sit by the telephone.
- Oh, come on.
When I get something,
I'll call you.
Oh, Rick...
Do what I tell you.
- As soon as you get anything?
- Yes.
Absolutely.
Oh, the owner of this
building is going to be furious!
Now, did Sharon have a
girlfriend, a boyfriend,
that she saw a lot of?
Well, I don't see what that
has to do with a busted door
and the messed up...
Maybe one of them
kicked the door in.
Well, there was this little man.
I never did get his name.
But I saw his license plate.
It was one of those
show-off things, you know?
It said, uh, Moving Up like he
was going somewhere important.
What a jerk.
He sure didn't look important.
Thanks, hon.
I hear you got
something to show me.
You betcha.
Get in.
Some guy gave this
to one of my runners.
Says he's got three keys
where that came from
and it's for sale.
How do I got a pound of this?
Where do I find this guy?
You don't.
He told Curtis he'd
be making the calls.
But I can put Curtis
at your disposal.
He'll set it up
however you want.
I get ripped off for
three keys of pure smack,
and then some guy wants to sell
me three keys of pure smack.
Quite a coincidence.
This Senate situation.
Man, we gotta clean this
country up, you know?
Hey, Kenny!
Yeah.
Hey, my man.
They wanna meet.
Yeah, attitude, huh?
That's how it's done, right?
What's the story?
Any phone will do, my man.
Oh, thanks, Curtis.
Send you a postcard.
- Right.
Hey, Kenny, Kenny.
Come here, come here.
On the up and up.
- Yeah?
Look, this is the real time now.
You watch your butt, or you'll
be scraping it off the streets.
Do you understand?
- Thanks, man.
- All right.
- Later.
- OK.
Heh, look at him go!
Haha!
That man is a legend, yeah.
Moving Up license plate
report just came in.
Guess who it belongs to.
Who?
Come on, take a guess.
He just got out of the
slammer, and you know him.
What are you talking about?
What is this, the Hunter quiz?
Who has a 30-year history
of breaking and entering,
and petty larceny, and theft?
A million guys.
You wanna tell me?
Who considers himself a legend?
Kenny Dunstan?
You got it.
I don't believe it.
Yeah.
It's like John McEnroe
joining the Raiders.
Right.
Let's roll.
How you doing?
Hey.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Really?
2 million, like we said.
It's worth at least 20 times
that in the street, right?
Tanton was working for me.
So when you ripped him
off, you ripped me off.
So this is mine.
See that he gets
home real smooth.
Wait...
Mr. Zole doesn't like bodies
lying around unnecessarily.
I can't say I share that view.
But then again,
I'm not the boss.
Next time, try ripping
off a mini mart.
Maybe you can handle that.
The joke's on you dudes!
Your gonzos!
Ha!
Haha!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
The joke's on you!
Yeah!
Can't cut it.
What do you mean
you can't cut it?
I mean I can't cut it.
Why not?
Taste it.
99% natural brown sugar, coated
with a thin layer of heroin.
Real nice job.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, he lives here, all right.
He's got a car out back.
His mail is piling up.
I ain't seen him in two weeks.
He ain't even called me.
Ho, but it ain't... it
ain't what it seems, now.
Oh, no.
He's a... he's a
legend, you know.
Everybody knows that.
He's a legend!
Kenny is a wonderful guy.
He's one of the best
guys I ever knew.
Hey, I can tell you
things about Kenny
that'd stand your hair on end.
He even loves Willy!
He even loves Willy!
He... he... he named Willy.
I call him Willy Dunstan.
We've been friends
for 15 years...
Does the term "dead
end" mean anything to you?
He is a wonderful man.
That's why he's called a legend.
It does now.
He is my friend.
I'm his friend.
And if you're looking for
him, I'll help him out.
Not you.
Hunter.
Nicholson in Narcotics.
Want you to get up
here right away.
I got some you're going to
find very, very interesting.
I'll be right up.
Thank you.
What do you got?
Busted this clown on
possession of hash with intent
to sell.
I told you, brother, and
I'm not telling you again.
It was for personal use only.
Claims he knows something
about Kenny Dunstan.
Personal use.
I don't talk to nobody
unless it's personal use.
And I told you, slick,
we'll see what we can do.
You understand me?
That's the deal that's
gonna be on the table,
or I don't talk to nobody.
You got it.
You got it.
Personal use only.
Now, talk to me
about Kenny Dunstan.
I saw Kenny a
couple of days ago.
He said he had three kilos
of pure smack to unload.
I hooked him up with a major
dealer by the name of Zole.
What happened after
that is anybody's guess.
He could be up a
tree for all I know.
Ah, Mr. Zole.
Kenny Dunstan here.
How are you?
How would the boys?
You listen to me, punk.
Nobody... I mean nobody...
Does that to me and
gets away with it.
Not with me.
Ah, come on, Mr. Zole.
I had to let you
know you were dealing
with Kenny Dunstan, the legend.
Now, you want to
try again, or what?
Yeah.
I want what's mine!
I want it now.
Sure.
Only this time, I think we
should meet on neutral ground.
I'll get right back to ya.
Yeah.
4th of July?
That's my favorite.
You'll love it.
Fireworks, beer, and barbecue...
Just a minute.
Don't you answer your door?
Can I help you?
The landlord wants the gas
line under the stove fixed.
Sorry.
Uh, you just have to
come back tomorrow.
It's my mother...
She's very sick.
Hey, lady, unless we're talking
something like bubonic
plague here, I'm going
have to fix that line.
We weren't expecting anybody.
We're just subletting until
the Buchanan's get back.
Hello?
Rose?
Rose?
W... where have you been?
What happened?
Take down this number.
Yeah, OK, hold on... just a sec.
Yeah, go.
555-4774.
Rose, what...
Rose?
It'd took me 30 minutes, max.
You just have to
come back tomorrow.
If I come back tomorrow, who's
gonna pay for my time today?
Took me an hour and a
half to get over here.
Take me an hour and a half
in traffic to get back.
I'll pay for it,
whatever you need.
Just come back tomorrow!
I... I'm a big tipper.
It was a very rude
repairman, Rose.
Oh, um, where was... where was I?
Oh!
I forgot Halloween.
On Halloween, you get to
dress up in weird clothes
and scare the hell
out of your neighbors.
Jonathon Zole, arrested five
years ago for dealing cocaine.
Only witness against
him disappeared.
Narcotics says he's been
off the books since then.
Which means he's
stepped up in class.
Well, if it is to him,
he picked the right time
to switch over to smack.
Price of heroin's
gone through the roof.
Hunter.
Rick, I know where Rose is.
She called me.
She gave me the number
where they're keeping her.
It's right here in
the Wilshire District.
What's the number?
Wait a minute.
I'd like to go with you, Hunter.
Randall, you're
wasting valuable time.
What's the number?
Rick, I want to be
there when you find her.
All right, Randy.
Go.
What's the number?
555-4774.
4774.
Where are you?
I'll meet you on the
corner Johnson and Babcock.
I'll be right there.
Wait for me.
That was Randall.
He's got a number on Rose.
Crisscross his reference,
find the address on it.
When you get it, patch it
through to the automobile
for me.
I need a search warrant.
- You got it.
All right.
And when you get the address,
put it on the warrant,
and get it out to me fast, eh?
Metropolitan Police.
We have a search warrant.
Open up, please.
Freeze!
Police!
Put your hands on your head.
Don't move.
Is there anyone
else in the house?
I think there's someone
else on the back porch.
Carter!
Covering the back, Hunter.
Randall!
Get in here.
Rose!
Randall!
- Are you OK?
- Randall, you're here!
Are you all right?
Yes.
Are you OK?
Where's Kenny, Sharon?
I don't know what
you're talking about.
Come on, Sharon.
The people that murdered
your boss could kill Kenny.
He is in danger.
Now, where is he?
Sharon, it's over with.
It's all over with.
I don't like this one bit.
I do not believe
the guts of this guy.
Setting us up in
a police station.
Maybe that's why
they call him a legend.
Just park right over there.
I'll be right back.
It's, uh... it's the
real thing t... this time.
Trust me.
Listen, punk.
It better be right,
or you're a dead man.
This is real, too.
Well, nice doing
business with you, sir.
I hope.
I wish you well on your life.
Mr. Zole?
Metropolitan Police.
You're under arrest.
Put your hands behind your head.
Metropolitan Police!
Get out of the car, and put
your hands up on the hood.
Do it, and do it right now.
Where's Kenny Dunstan?
Why don't you put it
where the sun don't shine?
Ah.
He's a funny guy, huh?
- Yeah.
Get him out of here.
Yeah?
Yes, one minute.
Hey.
Kenny Dunstan, line 3.
Kenny Dunstan?
Kenny?
Now, how did you
disappear so fast?
'Cause I'm Kenny
Dunstan, that's how.
Look, Hunter, I
want to make a deal.
I got $2 million give to
the Police Benevolent Fund.
But I want you to let
Sharon go and drop
all the charges against her.
Now, Kenny, kidnapping
is a serious crime.
You know that?
Come on, Hunter.
You know she didn't
kidnap nobody.
Look, all she did was tell
me about Tanton's operation,
and I did the rest.
Now, you and I both know
that Zole's the guy you want.
So, you let Sharon go, you
drop the kidnapping charges
against me, I turn
in the money, and I
cooperate in every way I can.
Hunter.
You ain't never gonna get a
better deal than that, pal.
OK, well, we'll see what
the DA says about that, Kenny.
Uh, you know, we will find you
sooner or later, don't you?
No, no, no, Hunter.
I'll find you.
Yeah.
You know, I really believe
Kenny Dunstan is a legend.
Do you, Randall Fane,
take this woman, Rose Shan,
to be your lawfully wedded wife?
I do.
Do you, Rose Shan,
take Randall Fane to be
your lawfully wedded husband?
I do.
Please place the ring on her
left hand, and repeat after me.
With this ring.
With this ring.
I do thee wed.
I do thee wed.
Ah, I wish you all
our cases ended like this.
Nice job, both of you.
Thanks very much, Charlie.
You know, Hunter, we
can all take a little tip
from your friend Randall there.
- Oh?
How's that?
Well, he found himself
a nice little bride.
He's gonna settle
down, have a family.
A fellow could do a
lot worse than that.
Oh, OK.
On the way back to the station,
maybe I should stop off
and get a brides pamphlet.
So you back at the station.
He's right.
What are you talking
about, he's right?
He's right!
A woman like Rose would be, uh...
Would be very good for you.
I... it would be exactly
the thing you need.
Exactly.
She'd be the best thing
in the world for you.
Yeah?
Mm.
Maybe you'd like
to help break me in.
Break you into what?
Maybe on the way
back to the precinct,
we stop off at the
auto parts store,
gaff a couple of cans
of 90-weight lube,
a Bunsen burner, and you could
help, uh, give me the hot
oil massage I've always wanted.
You're on.
Let's go.
What a partner.
cleaning, and deep oil massage.
I can't believe this
moment's really here.
Me too.
How do I get a pound of this?
2 million.
I want what's mine,
and I want it now!
Freeze!
Police!
Kenny?
Now, how did you
disappear so fast?
'Cause I'm Kenny
Dunstan, that's how.
You know, I really believe
Kenny Dunstan is a legend.
The joke's on you dudes!
You're a laugh riot, Alice.
Get in.
Flight
047 from Hong Kong and Honolulu
is now arriving at Gate 9.
Arriving passenger from
Hong Kong, Mr. Sean Lynch,
please contact airport security
on the white courtesy phone.
Hello, Randall.
Hello, Rose.
I can't believe this
moment's really here.
Me too.
Oh.
Oh, thank you.
They're beautiful.
So are you.
I... I do have more luggage.
Um.
Oh!
Well, let's go get it, huh?
It's a good thing you
got here when you did.
You know, my phone bill
was going to be so big,
we could have but that whole
damn plane you came in on.
I figure with blood
tests and all,
we could get married
the day after tomorrow.
Course, there's no rush.
We wait till the weekend,
we could get married
on our first anniversary.
A year ago Saturday,
I saw your picture
in Mr. Tanton's brochure,
and I sent you a letter.
"Dear Miss Rose, it feels kind
of funny writing to somebody
I've never met.
But I'll give a try
and see what happens."
I guess it sort of
did happen, didn't it?
It's the oldest house
on the block, Rose.
It's about 30 years old.
It's got an original floor plan.
It's one of the things
I really like about it.
See, not many houses around here
have an original floor plan.
It's a lot bigger on the inside
than it looks from the outside.
It's beautiful.
There's only one bedroom,
so I'll stay on the couch
until after the wedding.
I'll get your other bags.
Oh, Rose, feel free
to look around.
Er, make yourself at home.
Hey, Rose, you weren't
kid when you said you had
your whole life packed in here.
If I moved halfway around the
world, I'd do the same thing.
What do you think, Rose?
Rose?
Where are you, Rose?
Rose?
Hey, Rosie?
Where are you, Rose?
Rose?
Rose!
Rose!
You must be done
with your typing,
because, uh, you are now
obviously just loafing.
I don't consider reading about
the Chicago Cubs..
Hey, Rick.
I gotta talk to you.
- Hey, Randall.
How are you?
- I'm OK.
But I... I got a big problem now.
I... I... I gotta...
I gotta talk to you.
I haven't seen you a long while.
You remember Sergeant McCall?
We... you remember Randall.
We served together.
Look, I... I got a big problem.
Can we go somewhere?
Well, uh, OK.
Uh, we'll be at, uh, Rex's.
Yeah.
You're not gonna believe
a word I'm gonna tell you.
Oh yeah?
This guy named Tanton.
He puts out a book
that... that list's
women from all over
the Orient that
want to marry American men.
So you... you pick somebody
you're interested in.
You... you write back and forth.
You talk on the phone.
If everything works
out, you both agree,
Tanton sets up the
travel arrangements,
brings the girl over, and...
And he collects his fee.
OK, now, look, Randall.
Isn't there a possibility
that when you got Rose home,
she took one good
look at your profile,
and she realized that you
weren't the apple of her eye?
Now, Rick, you're wrong!
She liked me, and I
know she liked me.
It just doesn't set right.
She left everything at
my house but her handbag,
and she's a million miles
away from her family.
It doesn't make sense!
Hey, Randall.
Relax, OK?
A missing person is not
a crime, now sit down.
Just relax.
Look, there's nothing I can
do in this case officially.
I can't even take a
report on this girl
for the next 72 hours.
Well, that's too long, Rick.
I need help now.
I can't handle this by myself.
I... I... I...
I know that, I know that.
Just relax.
Calm down.
Now, look.
Rose disappeared for a reason.
And we're going to find out
what that reason is, OK?
Come by my office at 12:30.
I'll take an extended lunch.
We'll drive across town,
we'll go see Leo Tanton.
How about that?
Well, it's a... it's a start.
Yeah, you bet.
Sorry, buddy.
I... I owe you one.
Randall, it would take another
war to repay what I owe you.
Like I've been saying
for the past 20 minutes,
I've been bringing brides
over here for six years,
and I've never...
I mean never, ever...
Had any problems.
You say she just disappeared,
left the bags, and poof?
She left everything but the
bag she carried off the plane.
I... I don't know what to say.
Frankly, I'm very
embarrassed, sergeant.
But I don't know how
I can help, but I'd
be glad to cooperate with you
in every single way that I can.
Well, I appreciate
your time, Mr. Tanton.
Ah, you reach me at
Metropolitan Police Department.
The number in the
lower right-hand corner
is a direct line to my desk.
Uh, sergeant, can
I have another card
from my secretary, Sharon?
She wants to file it.
- Oh.
Yeah, sure.
Good idea.
Yeah.
Let me walk you out.
Thanks very much.
And listen, uh, Mr. Fane.
Just keep the faith.
We'll find that girl for you.
Z Club.
Yeah.
Uh, uh, Mr. Zole, please.
Who wants him?
Leo Tanton.
Hang on.
Zole.
Hey!
Mr. Zole, how are you doing?
What's going on?
I told you never
to call me here.
Well, uh, listen it's
just a little problem.
You know, it's a girl, you know?
Uh, she disappeared... I...
Before I could get that.
She what?
We've been doing
business for 11 months.
We never had a problem.
Don't worry about that, Mr.
Zole, you know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, I'm very
optimistic that I'm going to...
Yeah... bring her back.
Yeah.
Oh.
I'm glad you are optimistic.
Let me remind you.
We still have
business to conclude,
and you still have got one hour.
Get on him.
I'm going to find
out what's going on.
Sharon, take all messages.
I'll be back at 4:30.
Yes.
OK, Mr. Tanton.
Kenny?
I'll be right home.
It just hit the fan.
Yeah.
Hunter.
This is Leo Tanton.
Look, man.
I need help right now.
There are two guys who are
trying to get in to kill me.
W... wait.
W... where are you?
I'm a 2420 South Beverly Glen.
Just get over here, will you?
Hey, Leo, open the door.
Come on, man.
I know you're in there.
Look, I just want
to talk to you, OK?
Come on out and we'll
discuss the problem.
If you don't open the
door, I'm gonna kick it in.
Get outta here.
Tanton's dead.
Oh, wow.
Have you ever actually
looked at this brochure?
Listen to this.
"Mei Lin.
Beautiful, petite,
long black hair.
Hobbies include
cooking, cleaning,
her deep oil massage."
Hey, deep oil massage, huh?
Maybe I should look
into this personally.
This is the kind of thing
for those men that have...
Have stereotypical
fantasies about finding
some kind of a slave woman.
It's... it's like for the
American man who cannot handle
the modern American woman.
No, wait a minute now.
A modern American
woman can be very, uh...
I'll use the word
"intimidating" for now.
And I can see where a
very sensitive and shy
man like Randall Fane would seek
out, uh, other alternatives.
Alternative?
What?
Wait a minute.
What is intimidating
about a woman
that has her own sense
of self, her own purpose,
her wrong strength?
What... this is the 20th century.
What are you talking about?
I said, some
people feel that way.
I don't.
Some people.
No, right, you don't.
No, you've never even ever
thought of those thoughts,
have you?
That's right.
So what about this
Randall guy, anyway?
Now, what does that mean?
Well, you know, I don't
want to have to pry.
You... oh.
You don't want to pry?
You, who should have
her own talk show?
What is it about you?
Why is it that
every single time I
meet a friend of
yours from your past,
like Randall, you say we
served during the war?
We did.
Well, you don't say
we served in Vietnam.
You say we served
during the war.
So where'd you serve, anyway?
In Burbank?
You're a laugh riot, Alice.
Get in.
Still didn't answer my question.
That's because...
I know I didn't.
That's because I'm concerned
about this hot oil situation.
According to Narcotics,
Tanton and Jade
Brides have been in business
for over six years, all clean.
If this is a drug
operation, it's
the first they've heard of it.
And what about all these women?
Don't they have anything
that can help us?
Every bride that
we talked to who
came over in the last 11 months
brought a gift for Tanton.
Now, apparently an associate of
his in Hong Kong gave them each
a carry-on bag filled
with, uh, antiques.
You know, Burmese carvings,
jewelry, that kind of thing.
As soon as the girls got to
LA, Tanton paid them a visit
and got the bag.
These girls are... well,
they seem innocent.
I mean, they have modest
homes, modest jobs.
I don't think they're smugglers.
At least not knowingly.
Hm.
And if it is a
smuggling outfit, uh,
maybe someone got wind
of it, and poor Rose
got caught in the middle.
And Tanton gets nailed because
he doesn't produce the goods?
- Right.
- Who would have ripped him off?
Who else would know
about the operation?
When we went back
to Tanton's office,
his secretary wasn't there.
We wanted to, uh...
We wanted to get a client list.
And, uh... well, she
had to pick the lock.
Please!
When you pull a stunt
like that, do me a favor...
Don't tell me about it.
What'd you tell him for?
Sorry.
It's about time you got here.
I gotta get moving.
I gotta see a friend who
got all the contacts.
It's gonna to be
soon now, darling.
Aw.
K... Kenny, be careful.
Promise me!
I promise!
Aw.
Oh, honey.
Th... there's nothing
to be afraid of.
W... we're not going to hurt you.
W... we just have to take
care of some business.
Then we'll let you go.
Don't... oh, don't cry.
Don't cry.
No.
Oh.
Oh, it... it's going
to be fine, honey.
Really.
I promise.
That's better.
Oh!
I went to the store.
I got some things for the house.
I... I got you some Chun
King and some Top Ramen.
Doesn't that sound good?
Hey, Sporty.
How you doing?
You look exactly
like Kenny Dunstan.
But you can't be, because Kenny
Dunstan would have come by
to say hi to his old
friend Sporty James
after being out of the
slam for two months, three
weeks, and four days.
Hey.
I'm not impressed, Sporty.
I mean, after all,
my release was not,
uh, such a big secret, you know.
But, uh, I sit corrected.
You're right.
I should've come around sooner.
And after all, I, uh, I gotta...
I... I gotta ask you
for a big favor.
OK, I accept your
gracious apology.
How can I be of service
this time, Kenny?
Wh... has he had lunch yet?
Uh, oh yeah, Chief.
Uh.
Si.
I need the name of somebody
high up in the trade.
Uh, plumbers, carpenters,
brick masons... what trade?
Man, you have dialed
the wrong number.
Ah, wait.
I made my grandpa a
gospel promise, man.
I don't use dope,
I don't sell dope,
and I don't do favors
for dopes who do do dope.
Dope.
Don't get me wrong, Sporty.
No, no, no.
Look, I'm not into
the drug scene.
I never have been.
Come on.
And I don't mean to imply
you are either, my friend.
Believe me.
I... I just...
I need a name.
That's it.
You need a name?
Er, but you and...
You and Curtis
are... are buddies.
Why don't you ask him?
I can't find the guy.
Yeah, I guess not.
Uh.
You know, I think that my
conscience will allow me
to help you in this
small personal matter,
if you know what I mean.
Of course, no question.
But I want you to
do me one small favor.
Er, just, uh, forget
who directed you to him.
OK?
All right, I got one, I got one.
I see you, I see you.
Don't do it all in one
place there, homeboy.
Oh.
The police, the
police, the police.
Chumps, chumps, chumps.
It's a good day man.
You know, I'm making
plenty of cash today.
Curtis!
Kenny Dunstan!
Haha!
The man, the myth,
in the flesh, eh?
No wonder you spend most of
your life in the joint, man.
I could've been Dick Tracy here.
Yeah, but you wasn't, was you?
Now, I can smell a cop, man.
And, uh, right now, I ain't
smelling nothing except what
you're burning to tell me.
Now, what was it you couldn't
talk about on the phone?
You get into a little nose
action since I seen you last,
and you want Curtis to
tighten you up, right?
I'll tell you, that son of a...
I got something to sell.
- Yeah?
Yeah.
Now, uh, I want to get
in touch with a big man.
I don't care who he
is, as long as he got
plenty of cash and connections.
The same old
high flying Kenny Dunstan.
I couldn't get a meeting
with the big man around here.
Now, you think you
can just... what?
What?
See that?
Now, you give that
to a heavy supplier.
All right?
That's a free sample,
and it ain't cocaine.
Kenny, Kenny, Kenny.
You, uh... you tell the man
that I got three kilos of that.
And you see what he says
about that, all right?
All right, all right, yeah.
Yeah, for real, man.
Yo, uh, Kenny, Kenny!
Er, look... how do I get
in touch with you, baby?
I find you.
Yeah, right, right,
right, I forgot.
Look, I'll be waiting to
hear from you, you know?
You know my time, you know
my schedule, all right?
I'll be right here, OK?
Be back same time, uh, you know.
I'll be here.
Are you sure this is legal?
I never go into a
tenant's apartment
without calling first.
Well, I can appreciate that.
However, like I said,
Sharon's boss was murdered.
She's not at his office, and she
isn't answering her phone here.
So maybe, you know...
Do you mean we might
find a dead body in there?
Well, uh, you know,
you can't tell what
we're going to find in there.
Oh.
But let's just go take a look.
Oh my god.
What are you doing here?
Did you do this?
Of course not.
Look, I called Tanton's home.
Somebody else answers the phone
and wants to know who I am.
So I go down to his
office, nobody's there.
But I find Sharon's
address on a Rolodex.
I come here, the door's busted
open, the place is a wreck.
What is going on here, Hunter?
Well the guy you talked
to, Randall, was a cop.
Tanton's been murdered.
- What?
- Yeah.
Now, look.
When... when Rose arrived, did
she saying thing about, uh,
bringing Tanton a gift?
Yeah.
She mentioned something
about it when we were
driving back from the airport.
- Uh-huh.
Well, it seems that every
bride that's come across
in the last year
or so have brought
a little gift from Mr. Tanton.
And what is that
supposed to mean?
Well, it means that
Tanton was using the girls...
Rose had nothing to do with it.
She didn't know
what she was doing.
Well, what were
they bringing back?
I haven't the slightest idea.
Hey, you, whoever you are!
Are you going to pay
to fix that door?
Are you going to clean
up this apartment?
Well?
I want to know who's going to
pay to fix that busted door!
Honey, just turn around here.
See if you can pick up
something and straighten up.
I'll be with you
in just a second.
Come here.
I want you to go home.
Sit by the telephone.
- Oh, come on.
When I get something,
I'll call you.
Oh, Rick...
Do what I tell you.
- As soon as you get anything?
- Yes.
Absolutely.
Oh, the owner of this
building is going to be furious!
Now, did Sharon have a
girlfriend, a boyfriend,
that she saw a lot of?
Well, I don't see what that
has to do with a busted door
and the messed up...
Maybe one of them
kicked the door in.
Well, there was this little man.
I never did get his name.
But I saw his license plate.
It was one of those
show-off things, you know?
It said, uh, Moving Up like he
was going somewhere important.
What a jerk.
He sure didn't look important.
Thanks, hon.
I hear you got
something to show me.
You betcha.
Get in.
Some guy gave this
to one of my runners.
Says he's got three keys
where that came from
and it's for sale.
How do I got a pound of this?
Where do I find this guy?
You don't.
He told Curtis he'd
be making the calls.
But I can put Curtis
at your disposal.
He'll set it up
however you want.
I get ripped off for
three keys of pure smack,
and then some guy wants to sell
me three keys of pure smack.
Quite a coincidence.
This Senate situation.
Man, we gotta clean this
country up, you know?
Hey, Kenny!
Yeah.
Hey, my man.
They wanna meet.
Yeah, attitude, huh?
That's how it's done, right?
What's the story?
Any phone will do, my man.
Oh, thanks, Curtis.
Send you a postcard.
- Right.
Hey, Kenny, Kenny.
Come here, come here.
On the up and up.
- Yeah?
Look, this is the real time now.
You watch your butt, or you'll
be scraping it off the streets.
Do you understand?
- Thanks, man.
- All right.
- Later.
- OK.
Heh, look at him go!
Haha!
That man is a legend, yeah.
Moving Up license plate
report just came in.
Guess who it belongs to.
Who?
Come on, take a guess.
He just got out of the
slammer, and you know him.
What are you talking about?
What is this, the Hunter quiz?
Who has a 30-year history
of breaking and entering,
and petty larceny, and theft?
A million guys.
You wanna tell me?
Who considers himself a legend?
Kenny Dunstan?
You got it.
I don't believe it.
Yeah.
It's like John McEnroe
joining the Raiders.
Right.
Let's roll.
How you doing?
Hey.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Really?
2 million, like we said.
It's worth at least 20 times
that in the street, right?
Tanton was working for me.
So when you ripped him
off, you ripped me off.
So this is mine.
See that he gets
home real smooth.
Wait...
Mr. Zole doesn't like bodies
lying around unnecessarily.
I can't say I share that view.
But then again,
I'm not the boss.
Next time, try ripping
off a mini mart.
Maybe you can handle that.
The joke's on you dudes!
Your gonzos!
Ha!
Haha!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
The joke's on you!
Yeah!
Can't cut it.
What do you mean
you can't cut it?
I mean I can't cut it.
Why not?
Taste it.
99% natural brown sugar, coated
with a thin layer of heroin.
Real nice job.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, he lives here, all right.
He's got a car out back.
His mail is piling up.
I ain't seen him in two weeks.
He ain't even called me.
Ho, but it ain't... it
ain't what it seems, now.
Oh, no.
He's a... he's a
legend, you know.
Everybody knows that.
He's a legend!
Kenny is a wonderful guy.
He's one of the best
guys I ever knew.
Hey, I can tell you
things about Kenny
that'd stand your hair on end.
He even loves Willy!
He even loves Willy!
He... he... he named Willy.
I call him Willy Dunstan.
We've been friends
for 15 years...
Does the term "dead
end" mean anything to you?
He is a wonderful man.
That's why he's called a legend.
It does now.
He is my friend.
I'm his friend.
And if you're looking for
him, I'll help him out.
Not you.
Hunter.
Nicholson in Narcotics.
Want you to get up
here right away.
I got some you're going to
find very, very interesting.
I'll be right up.
Thank you.
What do you got?
Busted this clown on
possession of hash with intent
to sell.
I told you, brother, and
I'm not telling you again.
It was for personal use only.
Claims he knows something
about Kenny Dunstan.
Personal use.
I don't talk to nobody
unless it's personal use.
And I told you, slick,
we'll see what we can do.
You understand me?
That's the deal that's
gonna be on the table,
or I don't talk to nobody.
You got it.
You got it.
Personal use only.
Now, talk to me
about Kenny Dunstan.
I saw Kenny a
couple of days ago.
He said he had three kilos
of pure smack to unload.
I hooked him up with a major
dealer by the name of Zole.
What happened after
that is anybody's guess.
He could be up a
tree for all I know.
Ah, Mr. Zole.
Kenny Dunstan here.
How are you?
How would the boys?
You listen to me, punk.
Nobody... I mean nobody...
Does that to me and
gets away with it.
Not with me.
Ah, come on, Mr. Zole.
I had to let you
know you were dealing
with Kenny Dunstan, the legend.
Now, you want to
try again, or what?
Yeah.
I want what's mine!
I want it now.
Sure.
Only this time, I think we
should meet on neutral ground.
I'll get right back to ya.
Yeah.
4th of July?
That's my favorite.
You'll love it.
Fireworks, beer, and barbecue...
Just a minute.
Don't you answer your door?
Can I help you?
The landlord wants the gas
line under the stove fixed.
Sorry.
Uh, you just have to
come back tomorrow.
It's my mother...
She's very sick.
Hey, lady, unless we're talking
something like bubonic
plague here, I'm going
have to fix that line.
We weren't expecting anybody.
We're just subletting until
the Buchanan's get back.
Hello?
Rose?
Rose?
W... where have you been?
What happened?
Take down this number.
Yeah, OK, hold on... just a sec.
Yeah, go.
555-4774.
Rose, what...
Rose?
It'd took me 30 minutes, max.
You just have to
come back tomorrow.
If I come back tomorrow, who's
gonna pay for my time today?
Took me an hour and a
half to get over here.
Take me an hour and a half
in traffic to get back.
I'll pay for it,
whatever you need.
Just come back tomorrow!
I... I'm a big tipper.
It was a very rude
repairman, Rose.
Oh, um, where was... where was I?
Oh!
I forgot Halloween.
On Halloween, you get to
dress up in weird clothes
and scare the hell
out of your neighbors.
Jonathon Zole, arrested five
years ago for dealing cocaine.
Only witness against
him disappeared.
Narcotics says he's been
off the books since then.
Which means he's
stepped up in class.
Well, if it is to him,
he picked the right time
to switch over to smack.
Price of heroin's
gone through the roof.
Hunter.
Rick, I know where Rose is.
She called me.
She gave me the number
where they're keeping her.
It's right here in
the Wilshire District.
What's the number?
Wait a minute.
I'd like to go with you, Hunter.
Randall, you're
wasting valuable time.
What's the number?
Rick, I want to be
there when you find her.
All right, Randy.
Go.
What's the number?
555-4774.
4774.
Where are you?
I'll meet you on the
corner Johnson and Babcock.
I'll be right there.
Wait for me.
That was Randall.
He's got a number on Rose.
Crisscross his reference,
find the address on it.
When you get it, patch it
through to the automobile
for me.
I need a search warrant.
- You got it.
All right.
And when you get the address,
put it on the warrant,
and get it out to me fast, eh?
Metropolitan Police.
We have a search warrant.
Open up, please.
Freeze!
Police!
Put your hands on your head.
Don't move.
Is there anyone
else in the house?
I think there's someone
else on the back porch.
Carter!
Covering the back, Hunter.
Randall!
Get in here.
Rose!
Randall!
- Are you OK?
- Randall, you're here!
Are you all right?
Yes.
Are you OK?
Where's Kenny, Sharon?
I don't know what
you're talking about.
Come on, Sharon.
The people that murdered
your boss could kill Kenny.
He is in danger.
Now, where is he?
Sharon, it's over with.
It's all over with.
I don't like this one bit.
I do not believe
the guts of this guy.
Setting us up in
a police station.
Maybe that's why
they call him a legend.
Just park right over there.
I'll be right back.
It's, uh... it's the
real thing t... this time.
Trust me.
Listen, punk.
It better be right,
or you're a dead man.
This is real, too.
Well, nice doing
business with you, sir.
I hope.
I wish you well on your life.
Mr. Zole?
Metropolitan Police.
You're under arrest.
Put your hands behind your head.
Metropolitan Police!
Get out of the car, and put
your hands up on the hood.
Do it, and do it right now.
Where's Kenny Dunstan?
Why don't you put it
where the sun don't shine?
Ah.
He's a funny guy, huh?
- Yeah.
Get him out of here.
Yeah?
Yes, one minute.
Hey.
Kenny Dunstan, line 3.
Kenny Dunstan?
Kenny?
Now, how did you
disappear so fast?
'Cause I'm Kenny
Dunstan, that's how.
Look, Hunter, I
want to make a deal.
I got $2 million give to
the Police Benevolent Fund.
But I want you to let
Sharon go and drop
all the charges against her.
Now, Kenny, kidnapping
is a serious crime.
You know that?
Come on, Hunter.
You know she didn't
kidnap nobody.
Look, all she did was tell
me about Tanton's operation,
and I did the rest.
Now, you and I both know
that Zole's the guy you want.
So, you let Sharon go, you
drop the kidnapping charges
against me, I turn
in the money, and I
cooperate in every way I can.
Hunter.
You ain't never gonna get a
better deal than that, pal.
OK, well, we'll see what
the DA says about that, Kenny.
Uh, you know, we will find you
sooner or later, don't you?
No, no, no, Hunter.
I'll find you.
Yeah.
You know, I really believe
Kenny Dunstan is a legend.
Do you, Randall Fane,
take this woman, Rose Shan,
to be your lawfully wedded wife?
I do.
Do you, Rose Shan,
take Randall Fane to be
your lawfully wedded husband?
I do.
Please place the ring on her
left hand, and repeat after me.
With this ring.
With this ring.
I do thee wed.
I do thee wed.
Ah, I wish you all
our cases ended like this.
Nice job, both of you.
Thanks very much, Charlie.
You know, Hunter, we
can all take a little tip
from your friend Randall there.
- Oh?
How's that?
Well, he found himself
a nice little bride.
He's gonna settle
down, have a family.
A fellow could do a
lot worse than that.
Oh, OK.
On the way back to the station,
maybe I should stop off
and get a brides pamphlet.
So you back at the station.
He's right.
What are you talking
about, he's right?
He's right!
A woman like Rose would be, uh...
Would be very good for you.
I... it would be exactly
the thing you need.
Exactly.
She'd be the best thing
in the world for you.
Yeah?
Mm.
Maybe you'd like
to help break me in.
Break you into what?
Maybe on the way
back to the precinct,
we stop off at the
auto parts store,
gaff a couple of cans
of 90-weight lube,
a Bunsen burner, and you could
help, uh, give me the hot
oil massage I've always wanted.
You're on.
Let's go.
What a partner.
