Police Woman (1974–1978): Season 3, Episode 5 - Broken Angels - full transcript
- [Pete] Police, hold it.
- You waste a cop and
you bring the world down
our shoulders!
- That boozer in there,
is a cop, a real cop.
(thrilling music)
- About four.
- He would've been in a week.
- You know him?
- Name is Jimmy Telford.
And I know who put him in here.
Freeze, or you're
one dead turkey.
(heroic music)
(foreboding music)
- Ah hello, sergeant.
About four.
- He would've been in a week.
His name is Jimmy Telford.
- You know him?
- Knew him.
And I know who put him
in here, but he'll probably
escape because the tramp
who gave birth to this child
would lie to protect the scum.
- That's a pretty tough
call isn't it, sergeant?
- Goes with the job.
- Pete, I think it'd be
a good idea if you took
the fire escape down it'd
be the only way out of there.
- Right I'll just get a couple
of uniform guys and...
Here she comes.
- Oh smart, don't say anything
about the hooker
bit at first okay?
- Right.
Hi, Pep.
- Hey, Pep.
- Thanks a lot, Crowley.
- Yeah I'm sorry to
do that to you honey,
but it happens to the
best of us you know?
- Sure, well I thank
you, my date thanks you.
- Oh which one?
- None of your business.
- The tree surgeon
with the Rolls?
- No the brain surgeon
with the dune buggy.
Any coffee around here,
we didn't quite get around
to that course.
(phone ringing)
- Crowley, yeah, on our way.
- What, where to?
- Just got a call from Eggnog.
- Yeah lots of junk, there's
some very heavy junk
in an apartment on
Stratton and 15th Street.
- Oh my favorite neighborhood.
- Yeah well with any luck
we won't be there too long.
We're not working alone.
- Why us?
- Pep have you
noticed Joe's new outfit?
- Yeah I hope it's a
classy hooker this time.
- I don't know
of any other kind.
- You know I hate
to bore you guys,
but when I was little I used
to dream of being a cowboy,
nurse, movie star, even
first woman president.
- Now you finally
hit the big time.
Look at it this way
kid, you're the only one
with the bod for it.
Where the hell are they?
I'd like to get
this game started.
- They better get
here pretty soon.
- Or there won't be any game.
- Well here comes the cavalry.
- Well at least we didn't
lose the game by forfeit,
my goodness.
- Well, Heckle and Jeckle.
- I thought it was
Frick and Frack.
- Wrong it's Batman and Robin.
- Golly-gee-willeckers,
Batman, you'd think they'd
recognize us, the
scourges of the underworld.
- Just save it for Johnny
Carson, we haven't got
too much time before the meet.
Listen you guys are
gonna go with me.
I don't want any grandstand
plays you understand,
just stick to the
game plan, when Pep
opens up the trunk,
that's when you move.
And we gotta move fast
because Joe's gonna be
in there alone.
- Hey it must be
a biggie, Crowley,
you called out the
first team as reserves.
- It's a biggie, this
guy can move a truck
of junk in a week.
- We're gonna get
this show on the road.
I don't like to keep my
dates waiting, too long.
- [Bill] Let's move it.
(thrilling music)
- [Joe] Bad dudes, Pep, if
one of them goes with you
for the test, stay cool, Bill
will be there to back us up.
- Okay, they're on their way up.
- Yeah I got you, Bill.
- Carbone?
- Roger.
- You there, Tom?
- Gotcha, in place.
(tense music)
- Okay standby, here comes
Pep with her blind date.
It's a go, hit 'em, hit 'em.
Police officer, freeze,
hold it right there!
(baby crying)
- Well it's nice of you
gentlemen to stop by,
I wouldn't do anything
foolish, buddy, put 'em back up.
Hand me over that radio, man.
- Silky's sure getting slick!
- Party's over, Tom,
everything's cool.
- [Bill] Got another
one for you, Joe.
- I got a place for him too.
- So what have we got here?
Oh look at this, look at this.
- That's a load of dope.
But I don't think none of these
guys are our number one man.
- He's not gonna be seen in
the same room with the stuff
he's too smart for that.
- Yeah well maybe I can
talk one of these turkeys
to do one over on us.
- Wouldn't bet on it.
- Uh-huh, I'll start
with Bo over there.
- Bill, listen, that baby's
been crying like that
ever since I walked
into this building,
I'm gonna check it out.
- Okay watch yourself.
Hey, Pete.
- Yes?
- Go with Pep will you?
- Yeah you got it.
- Look at that, looks pure too.
Let's get these
turkeys downtown.
- Right.
(baby crying)
- Police officers, anyone home?
Oh, this baby looks as if he's
been used as a punching bag.
- I'll call Juvie and get
somebody over here
from Child Abuse.
- Juvenile Division,
Sergeant Muldare.
- [Pete] Sergeant, this is
Investigator Pete Royster, Vice.
- Yes, Royster?
- [Pete] We found a
battered child at a place
we just made a bust.
- What's the address?
- 870 Palm.
- I'll be right there.
- [Joe] Easy does
it watch your head.
- Ah, Loretta they're
up on the sixth...
- Yeah, Crowley I know.
- Friendly.
- She's a little short
on the amenities
but I'll tell you something,
she's the best in the business.
(door knocking)
- It's open.
Oh, Loretta, I'm glad it's you,
this baby's awfully beaten up.
- You don't have to stick
around, Pepper, I'll handle it
from here, well you can't add
anything, call an ambulance.
- [Pete] It's on its way.
(siren wailing)
- Have someone take my car
and meet me at the hospital,
I'm gonna ride with the baby.
- Mind if I ride along,
please, I want to.
- He was in pretty bad
shape before the beating,
besides being undernourished,
there's evidence of an acute,
recent strep infection.
I want complete X-rays,
blood chemistry, CBC,
urinalysis, stat.
Good work.
- Sergeant Anderson found him.
- Just in time.
- Thank God.
- Hell couldn't be much worse.
Somebody else commits the crime,
and these kids
get the punishment.
- Why don't we get a
decent cup of coffee?
We haven't talked in ages.
- Oh I haven't got the time,
I've gotta get
this report started.
But you could come back with
me and maybe we could go out
for a bite after, I don't feel
like eating alone tonight.
- Oh yeah that
was really a time.
And remember
Fred, that big moose
we had for a PT instructor?
Oh boy, he sure didn't
like police women.
- Oh no I remember the
time that you put that bar arm
control hold on him, and
he just stood straight up
and kept on talking with
you dangling from his neck.
- Yeah, men, this
hold is used to control
combative arrestees, eh!
Boy was he something.
- Yeah.
- You want a cup of coffee?
- No thanks.
But there's a machine
right down the hall.
- Oh I think I'll get one.
I'll be right back.
- Okay.
Oh thanks a lot, Charlie.
- You got something?
- Do you have to be home early?
- No just in time to
wash my hair, why?
- I wanna check something out.
- About the baby?
- No, about the scum
who calls himself its father.
- Ugh, that dope fiend!
His lady friend moved
out a couple of weeks ago,
and left him with the kid,
he's been keeping us up
the whole week
with his screaming.
Oh there's the bum
now, the loving father.
- I wanna talk to you.
I said I wanna talk to you!
- Freeze, or you're
one dead turkey.
She's interrogating him
now, boy can she be tough.
- She sure came down
heavy on me didn't she?
Maybe her stripes are putting
her through some heavy...
- She isn't even aware
of you or your rank,
maybe Loretta doesn't
have a lot of tact
or diplomacy but she
does know her job.
And that's all she's
really interested in.
- [Bill] Well come on, Pepper,
the lady's got problems.
- What?
- The lady's got problems.
- Well what do you mean
by that, who doesn't?
- Pepper, what he means
is that nobody even knew
she drank until somebody
saw her sober one day.
- What, I've never even
seen her at Vinnie's.
- [Pete] No she wouldn't
drink where cops hang out.
- What are we discussing
here, we got things to do,
come on let's
move it, shake a leg,
I'll buy the first
round at Vinnie's.
Take it down and book it.
- My guess is 1650 grams.
- 1575, bet ya.
- You got it.
- I'll tell you in a minute.
- Hey, Pep?
- Mm-hmm?
- You know what I
said about Muldare?
- Yeah you said what you
said, Joe, it's no big deal.
- Well I didn't know that
you and she was so close.
- We're not really.
It's strange, we used
to be but not anymore.
- Then how come you
came on so strong for her?
- How come?
We came on the force
together, made sergeants
off the same list, I even
worked Child Abuse Unit
with her a few months.
- Oh yeah?
- Yeah, boy...
I guess I know her as
well as anyone here,
it's just that, I don't know,
maybe I feel sorry for her.
She's been on that same job,
all those kids,
ever since she got
out of the academy.
That could change
anybody's personality.
And she's alone,
she's, she's got nobody.
Her husband was in
the Marines and um,
one of the first ones
killed in Vietnam.
She never remarried and never
had any children of her own.
She's a great girl.
- 1650 right on the nose.
- Well, win some, lose some.
- Oh I forgot to tell
you, Property called.
They said, "Tell Pep
she's quite a calculator."
- Oh next week I'll show
them my logarithms.
- Oh can we watch?
- Hey, Karen, how
about a little service?
- Hi, Karen.
- Yes?
You planning a
surprise for me tonight,
or should I just
bring the usual?
- Do you have any
(speaking foreign language)?
It has a certain (speaking
in foreign language)
and a very good ruse.
- Four beers.
- She knows you.
No seriously, did
anyone get lucky tonight,
will any of them roll over?
- Are you kidding, they're
so scared of the connection,
they'd rather take life
sentences then
admit that somebody
else was involved.
(rumbling)
- I'll see if I can
give her a hand.
Hey, stranger, what
are you doing here?
- Oh, hi Pep, oh, just
any old port in the storm.
And it's raining out right now.
Well it's raining in
Scotland, Turkey.
Hey are they still
growing poppy's in Turkey?
- I guess so, or
we'd be out of a job.
- Yeah...
Hmm, Pepper, I might just
be sitting on a clue for you.
- Well?
- I'll get it to you, as
soon as I develop it.
I am a detective you know.
- I know, and a very good one.
- Damn right I am.
And I don't have
to stay in Juvenile.
I don't have to stay
with those battered kids.
I've had enough, I
can get out of Juvenile.
- Loretta, let me
give you a lift home.
- I'll get myself home.
- I'll follow her home.
- [Janitor] Hey, Spider,
what's happening?
- Hey, man!
You know stuff, stuff.
- Hey.
- Hey listen, Bo.
I wanna go through
some of Jeannie's pictures.
- Hey where's your chick
been we had nobody taking
pictures here for a
couple of weeks now.
- Yeah she split, man.
- Oh...
- Listen, you know, I
just wanna go through
her filing cabinet
in the dark room.
- Oh well now you know
nobody's allowed back there,
if the boss found out I'd
get kicked out on my a...
I can't see too good
back there anyway.
- What the hell do you want?
- See, I told you he'd see me.
I want you to represent me.
- [Lawyer] What have
you been smoking?
- Everything I can
get my hands on.
But you're gonna
represent me anyway.
- Get outta here
before I call the police
and have you picked
up on another charge.
- No no I don't think so.
See I happen to
have this photograph,
that I can use as a retainer.
And I already told this lady
cop you're gonna be my lawyer.
What I didn't tell her is,
that your service is for free.
- What photograph?
- What photograph?
Right here.
I don't have to tell you the
negative is in a safe place.
- Big deal, he was
a client of mine.
- He's the biggest
dope dealer in the state.
- Nobody's perfect.
- What about this huh,
what about this right here?
- Where'd you get this?
- Oh from a friend
who owed me a favor.
Who would testify
that you wrote it.
- What do you want?
- I told you, councilor,
I want help with this
child-beating rap, and keep
that lady cop off my back.
See I can't afford to
go down for another fall,
you understand, they'll throw
the key away on me, ya dig?
So once this is over
you'll never see me again.
That ain't gonna make
you frown now is it?
- I'll see what I can
do, I want that negative.
- All right, okay, hey hey!
Okay, just do it you'll get it.
- Get Madison on the phone.
- Yeah, Larry, what's up?
- Come on, Seymour,
what do you think
I rented a room at the
Blue Moon Motel for?
Yeah that's right I did
go there with a blond.
What, yeah what?
15 dollars for closed
circuit television,
I thought I told him not
to put that on the bill.
Uh-huh, that's right
it was a stakeout.
Yeah let me tell you
something, both people
don't have to look out
the window all the time.
Uh-huh, I tell you what,
yeah listen, Seymour.
Why don't you just bill me okay?
To the expense accounts.
- [Pepper] Did you
fellas find anything?
- No, just small time operators.
Nickel and dime stuff.
- There's gotta be a
thread somewhere.
There's gotta be some
connection with a big money backer,
'cause those three turkeys
couldn't raise enough bread
to buy a key of grass wholesale.
- No word from
the street people?
- Nothing but silence.
- Well then, what's next?
- I don't know for sure.
What I do know is our
mystery man must be hurting
from this last seizure.
If we could just hit him in
the wallet again right away,
he might get a little careless.
- Yeah, that could take time.
He usually wants
his money upfront
and we can't raise a big bundle.
- Yeah.
I tell you what we could do.
We could put out the
word there's a big buyer
in from Detroit who's lost his
south of the border connection.
Of course we'd have
to borrow some people,
'cause he's sure to
know you two guys.
- Loretta.
- What about her?
- Last night, she
said something about
sitting on some information,
but the shape she was in,
I just let it go.
But she was handling
that child abuse case
next door to where
we made the bust.
- Well, didn't she hint what
the information was about?
- No, she said she
wanted to develop it.
- Get it.
- I think you're overreacting
because of what we just lost.
- Look, Marty, we
haven't become successful
in our little ventures
by being careless.
I don't want to leave loose
ends lying around now.
- There are no loose ends.
- No?
There's a lady cop.
She's asking questions about
why a high-priced attorney
would be representing
a two-bit hype
on a child beating charge.
And if she brings any
pressure to bear on Denton,
he'll roll over.
He'll do anything to
stay out of the joint.
- So we'll fix it so
Denton can't roll.
- Dammit, Marty,
that's not good enough.
Anything happens
to that little creep now,
she'll get even nosier.
- Now look at who's
getting careless.
You waste a cop and
you'll bring the world
down around our shoulders.
- Not if it's an accident.
- Yeah, well they're not always
easy to come by with cops.
- It shouldn't be too hard.
She drinks, Marty.
The lady is a drunk.
(phone ringing)
- Hello.
- It's Pepper.
- [Loretta] Oh hi, Pepper.
- Loretta, I tried to call you
three times from the office.
- Yeah, well I've
been out in the field.
- Well, last night you said
that you might have a lead
on this dope thing and I've
been talking to Crowley about it
and he said if it's
anything important...
- Well, it's about that
animal we took in last night.
There's something weird.
- Well, weird how?
- He can barely steal
enough to keep himself in junk,
but he claims his attorney
is Lawrence Henning.
- You mean the Lawrence Henning?
- Right, the Lawrence Henning,
who only handles
cases for five digits-plus.
- Yeah?
- Well, the word is he's either
doing something for Henning
or he's got something on him.
And the Bar Association is
looking closely at Henning
because of his association
with the syndicate.
Just might be some connection
with that big smack bust
you made next to
the creep's place.
I may have more
for you tomorrow.
I just got a call
from an informant
and I'm going out
for a meet right now.
- You're not going
out alone, are you?
- Pepper, I'm over 21.
- Well, at least tell
me where you're going.
- I'll talk to you, Pepper.
- Loretta.
- [Loretta] Thank you.
(groovy music)
- Hi.
Get me a martini
on the rocks, please.
Thank you.
Hi.
It's a nice place, isn't it?
- I've seen better.
- But not always alone, right?
- Right, absolutely right.
- Cheers?
- Chin chin.
- Oh, that takes me
back to good old Paris.
I used to work there.
Well, I don't know if you
could really call it work.
I was assigned to the
embassy for a few years.
- You were an ambassador.
- Marine.
I kind of minded the place.
Good duty, I tell you, I will
never be that lucky again.
Do you mind?
I'm Jim.
- You stationed around here?
- I arrived this morning.
I check in tomorrow a.m.
Camp Brooks.
- Brooks.
My husband...
- Wait, you're not gonna
tell me he's a colonel.
I'm gonna get a
chance to salute him
about three minutes when
he parades in here, are you?
- No, he was a Marine.
He was stationed
there for quite awhile
before he was shipped out.
- Is he still in?
- No, he's dead, he was killed.
- I'm sorry.
How about it, can I get
you another one of those?
What is your name?
(chuckling)
- Loretta.
Yeah, I guess I can
take another one.
- Sir, one more for
the pretty lady here
and one more for me, please.
And then I've got
to get me a cab.
Are they very hard to get
around here this time of night?
- I don't know.
- Hm.
Well, I need wheels
by the weekend.
Thank you.
Excuse me for asking,
but you're waiting
for somebody, right?
- Right.
- He shows, I blow.
It's an old friend's saying.
Chin chin, Loretta.
(phone ringing)
- [Bill] Hello.
- Bill, it's Pepper.
I hope I didn't wake you up.
Were you asleep?
- Huh?
- [Pepper] Were you asleep?
- Yeah, I guess so.
I was watching television.
What time is it?
- It's after three o'clock.
- Pepper, you know
it's three o'clock?
- Yeah, I know, Bill.
Listen, I talked to
Loretta around midnight.
- Uh-huh.
- And she was on her way out
to meet a friendly on our case.
And I've called her
every 15 minutes
and there's still no answer.
I'm really worried
about her, Bill.
- Did you ask her if
you could go with her?
- Yeah, of course.
- She gave you no idea
where she was going?
- No.
You know Loretta.
- Okay, Pep, give me 20
minutes, I'll pick you up.
- Okay.
- Look, you really
don't have to drive me.
I can still get that cab.
- It's all right, you're
alone and I'm alone.
(chuckling)
Oh.
- Well, at least let me
drive as the gallant Marine.
- Sure, Marine.
- Up we go.
Watch it.
(grunting)
You okay?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
(peaceful music)
(easygoing music)
(ominous music)
(crashing)
(explosion booming)
- It's incredible.
To be thrown clear...
If she'd gone all the
way down with that car,
she'd have been
burned to a crisp.
- Oh, I know.
- Pep, you know she's
been drinking, don't you?
- No, I talked
to her last night.
I don't think so.
- Well, they tell me
they found a half a bottle
of bourbon in her
glove compartment.
- Are you sure it was bourbon?
- That's what they said.
- Well, she drinks
scotch, you know?
Scotch drinkers hardly
ever drink bourbon.
It doesn't add...
I don't like it.
Now, she told me she had
gotten some information
about a lawyer who
might be involved in dope.
And then she's going
out to meet a friendly.
Next thing, her car
goes off the side of a cliff.
I don't buy it.
It's just too many coincidences.
What's her condition?
- It's critical.
- Well, what do you think?
- I think the same
thing you're thinking.
I'm gonna put a uniformed
guard on her door.
- Sergeant Crowley,
Sergeant Anderson.
- Hi.
Oh my god.
- She looks just like
one of her battered kids.
(somber music)
- Let's go.
- Well, I don't know for sure.
The word is she's a boozer
and we're here to
watch her dry out.
It's gonna be a double-duty.
- You.
What's your name?
- Uh, Pep, listen...
- I asked you, what's your name?
- Olsen.
- Olsen.
How long have you
been out of the academy?
- A year.
- A whole year.
And now you're dressed
up to look like a cop.
That boozer in there is a cop.
A real cop.
When she comes
to, if she comes to,
you ask her to tell
you about the years
she's spent tracking
down the lousy parents
of abandoned babies,
praying while the doctors
tried to patch up
the broken ones.
Watching while they
cut open the dead ones.
- What she's saying is pay
your dues before you judge.
- You idiot.
Have you seen the newspapers?
- Yes, I saw them.
It's just a simple...
- Just the perfect blunder.
Before, there's only
cop had suspicions.
Before she regains
consciousness,
the whole department will
be in here taking inventory.
- Are you kidding?
I thought you'd go to college,
you'd come out with some smarts.
Larry, there's no way they're
gonna tie us into this thing.
You understand?
There were no witnesses.
Hey, by the time
that cop comes to,
which she probably won't,
Denton's gonna be long gone.
- And what are you
gonna do with him,
dump his body in front
of the police headquarters
with his pockets full
of my business cards?
- Oh boy.
Hey, Larry, would
you relax, please?
Leave it to me.
Don't worry.
It's just a simple overdose,
no questions asked.
Just another dead hype.
And good riddance too, as
far as the cops are concerned.
- He is not your
run-of-the-mill hype right now.
- Hey, Larry, I told
you not to worry.
He won't be found locally.
He'll just be another body
found near the border.
Another Juan Doe who got too
much dream-maker all at once.
Relax.
Keep cool.
- Bingo, Juvenile's
already gone to warrant
on our little man.
His name is Wiley
Denton, AKA Spider.
- Fantastic.
- Really?
We just checked with R and I
and came up with this rap sheet
and a recent mug photo.
- Have they picked him up yet?
- No, he's split.
I guess he must've
heard about Muldare.
- We better find him
before his friends do.
- Now the uniform guys
are just having roll call,
so they're running
off a few extra copies
and Joe's passing
them out right now.
- Well, that's more like it.
Let's take a look
at this map here.
We can't cover the whole city.
Let's concentrate on this area
where this guy Denton was
living and fan out from there.
Check every gutter and
every shooting gallery.
I mean talk to everybody.
But no heroics, we want
this guy for questioning.
You getting my message?
- Now I don't care what
you do, but you find him.
And when you do, don't
louse it up like you did last time.
This stuff is pure dynamite.
It's 99 and 44 100% pure.
When he fixes, you
know where to deliver him.
- Thanks, pal.
And, by the way, don't
mention our little talk
to anyone, you understand?
Okay, good, good boy.
(shouting)
- [Basketball Player] Hey, man.
- What's happening,
little brothers.
- Nothing happening
unless you planning
on keeping that basketball.
- No, man, just
wanted to talk to you.
- Hey, man, what are you, the
heat or something, Mr. Mellow?
- Well, let's just say a
little something, okay?
- Hey, there ain't no call
to be rousing us, man.
- Hey, man, ain't no rouse.
Ain't no rouse.
I just wanna know whether
or not you seen this guy.
- Say, man, this
is that same dude
them other cats was
looking for, you know?
- What other guys?
- Hey, they was the heat, man.
But they dressed a lot
better than you, you know?
They dressed
like real detectives.
- All right.
Right on.
- [Ball Player] Come
on, let's split, man.
- Thanks again, Sloop.
You see him, give
me a call, will ya?
- [Joe] 12-Y-52 to 50.
- 12-Y-50 to 52, go ahead.
- [Joe] Pep, is Bill
there, can I talk to him?
- Hang on, Joe.
- [Bill] Go ahead, Joe.
- 50 to 52, hey, Bill, is
Juvenile looking for this guy?
- Juvenile?
No, they're just getting a
warrant out on him, why?
- Well, a couple
of kids just told me
about two plain clothes officers
who are looking for the
same guy we're looking for.
- Maybe your
hunch was right, Pep.
Joe, I doubt that those
guys are on our side.
I tell you, you better get
a good description of them
and pass it along, okay?
- [Joe] Roger.
- We better get a jump on 'em.
(knocking)
- Spider.
- [Spider] Yeah, I
already gave at the office.
- We were sent by a friend
of Mr. Henning's, Spider.
Open up.
(knocking)
Spider, we got a
little surprise for you.
Where's your old lady?
- She...
- [Henchman] Yeah.
- What do you care, man?
What's that to you?
- Well, you just looked like
you could use somebody
to take care of you.
Or something.
- Yeah, well where's
the package?
- Oh, first I've got a message
for you from Mr. Henning.
He wants you to know that
he's checked into your case
and he thinks he can
get you a dismissal.
But he wants you
to stay out of sight
until you hear from him.
And he thought you
might be able to use this
to help keep you cool
while you're waiting
to hear from him again.
- Wow.
- [Henchman] What's wrong?
- That's full O.Z., man.
- Well, I guess he figures
you might be holed up here
for a couple of weeks.
- You know, I
heard that lady cop
who was on my case took a fall.
- Really?
- [Spider] Yeah.
- You hear about that?
- Well, whatever happened,
I ain't gonna spend any time
crying over it, you know?
- You know, you don't
look so good, Spider.
You could probably
use a little taste
right now, couldn't you?
Why don't you go ahead and fix?
- All right, okay,
I'll be right back.
I've got my kit in the bathroom.
- [Henchman] Okay.
(ominous tones)
Spider.
(thrilling jazz music)
Spider.
(glass shattering)
(screaming)
- Joe, you wanna call
in for some backups?
They were last seen
running down that alley.
Nothing down there but a bunch
of empty warehouses
and factories.
Pepper and I'll work the alley.
You guys swing around
and take the street
and parallel us, okay?
Let's go, Pep.
- [Joe] 400 and Waldon Drive.
You got it.
(popping)
(grunting)
(menacing tones)
- See if you can
get in down there.
Spider, what are you hiding for?
We only wanna help you.
Spider.
Spider.
- 50 to 52, there's a fence
down here down on one and 7th.
We're gonna continue
through the alley on foot.
Starting with Casual Imports.
- [Joe] Roger.
(screeching)
- Help!
Help!
(thrilling music)
(screeching)
(glass shattering)
- [Pete] Police, hold it.
Put your hands...
(gunfire)
- Hold it!
(gunfire)
Hold it right there.
Drop the gun.
Drop it.
Put it down, put it down.
Put your hands on
the top of our head.
Joe, Pete!
All right, hold this.
Cuff him.
How's this one?
- Those two goons
were sent by Henning
to do a number on me, man.
They wanna pump me
full of pure, you know?
And that lady Juvie
cop in the hospital?
- Yeah, what about her?
- Well, she...
These yo-yos,
five will get you 10,
they tried to ice her, man.
Tell me it was no accident.
You freak!
You freak, you creep.
Hey, can you help me out, man?
I'm really sick.
- Joe.
- [Joe] Yeah.
- You better get 'em
separate ambulances.
Just keep 'em in
the holding tank
till Royster and Styles
get back from the jail ward.
I'll follow you to the
hospital and meet you there.
- I'll see what else
I can get out of him.
- [Bill] Okay.
- Okay, Spider, let's talk.
- I'm really sick.
Can you...
You're gonna help me out, right?
- Yeah.
- You know, you
don't have to talk to us
if you don't want to.
We know where to
find you if we have to.
- You know, my
friend, if I were you,
you know what I'd do?
I'd get myself a
good book and relax.
Now, according to
Denton and your friend,
we've got you on
possession of heroin,
four counts of assault, and
two counts of attempted murder.
So you're gonna
be here a long time.
Have a nice trip.
- Hold it.
Let's rap.
- Yeah, we just heard
they took her off critical.
Pepper and I are gonna
go over and see her now.
Okay, Tom...
Hey, Tom, who are you
guys starting pitching Sunday?
You do and I'm
gonna put Pepper in.
Working the dugout.
Okay, see you.
- What'd he say?
- The DA's gonna issue
warrants on Henning and Madison.
That'll take 'em out of
circulation just for awhile.
- You got 'em.
- Yep, with your help.
- Sure.
- How you feel?
- Terrific.
Hey, Crowley, if your team
ever needs another smart lady...
- What do you mean another?
- Watch it.
- You watch it.
(giggling)
- We can work on it.
- Are you serious?
- Sure we're serious.
Maybe you could
take Royster's place.
- Oh, you...
- You're just thinking I've
had enough of Juvenile.
- Maybe.
- And the bottle?
You don't have to
worry about that.
I've made up my mind.
I've gotta get my
head straight on that.
(chuckle)
I better.
And as far as the job
goes, I only got one job.
In a way, I
guess it's all I got.
You wanna know
something about kids?
- What?
- I sat down once
and I figured out
there are two billion
kids in this world.
So many of them need somebody.
Somebody who cares.
Somebody, anybody.
Maybe even me.
Didn't that doctor
say something to you
about leaving me
alone after a minute?
- He did say something
like that, didn't he?
- Why don't you get out of here?
- Sergeant Crowley,
Sergeant Anderson, I'm Olsen.
I was here on guard duty.
Dressed up like a cop.
- Yeah, how's it going, Olsen?
- Okay.
I was happy to hear
that Sergeant Muldare's
coming around.
- She's gonna be okay.
- Sergeant, I would
just like to apologize
for what I said about her.
- Well, it's a step.
(heroic music)
- You waste a cop and
you bring the world down
our shoulders!
- That boozer in there,
is a cop, a real cop.
(thrilling music)
- About four.
- He would've been in a week.
- You know him?
- Name is Jimmy Telford.
And I know who put him in here.
Freeze, or you're
one dead turkey.
(heroic music)
(foreboding music)
- Ah hello, sergeant.
About four.
- He would've been in a week.
His name is Jimmy Telford.
- You know him?
- Knew him.
And I know who put him
in here, but he'll probably
escape because the tramp
who gave birth to this child
would lie to protect the scum.
- That's a pretty tough
call isn't it, sergeant?
- Goes with the job.
- Pete, I think it'd be
a good idea if you took
the fire escape down it'd
be the only way out of there.
- Right I'll just get a couple
of uniform guys and...
Here she comes.
- Oh smart, don't say anything
about the hooker
bit at first okay?
- Right.
Hi, Pep.
- Hey, Pep.
- Thanks a lot, Crowley.
- Yeah I'm sorry to
do that to you honey,
but it happens to the
best of us you know?
- Sure, well I thank
you, my date thanks you.
- Oh which one?
- None of your business.
- The tree surgeon
with the Rolls?
- No the brain surgeon
with the dune buggy.
Any coffee around here,
we didn't quite get around
to that course.
(phone ringing)
- Crowley, yeah, on our way.
- What, where to?
- Just got a call from Eggnog.
- Yeah lots of junk, there's
some very heavy junk
in an apartment on
Stratton and 15th Street.
- Oh my favorite neighborhood.
- Yeah well with any luck
we won't be there too long.
We're not working alone.
- Why us?
- Pep have you
noticed Joe's new outfit?
- Yeah I hope it's a
classy hooker this time.
- I don't know
of any other kind.
- You know I hate
to bore you guys,
but when I was little I used
to dream of being a cowboy,
nurse, movie star, even
first woman president.
- Now you finally
hit the big time.
Look at it this way
kid, you're the only one
with the bod for it.
Where the hell are they?
I'd like to get
this game started.
- They better get
here pretty soon.
- Or there won't be any game.
- Well here comes the cavalry.
- Well at least we didn't
lose the game by forfeit,
my goodness.
- Well, Heckle and Jeckle.
- I thought it was
Frick and Frack.
- Wrong it's Batman and Robin.
- Golly-gee-willeckers,
Batman, you'd think they'd
recognize us, the
scourges of the underworld.
- Just save it for Johnny
Carson, we haven't got
too much time before the meet.
Listen you guys are
gonna go with me.
I don't want any grandstand
plays you understand,
just stick to the
game plan, when Pep
opens up the trunk,
that's when you move.
And we gotta move fast
because Joe's gonna be
in there alone.
- Hey it must be
a biggie, Crowley,
you called out the
first team as reserves.
- It's a biggie, this
guy can move a truck
of junk in a week.
- We're gonna get
this show on the road.
I don't like to keep my
dates waiting, too long.
- [Bill] Let's move it.
(thrilling music)
- [Joe] Bad dudes, Pep, if
one of them goes with you
for the test, stay cool, Bill
will be there to back us up.
- Okay, they're on their way up.
- Yeah I got you, Bill.
- Carbone?
- Roger.
- You there, Tom?
- Gotcha, in place.
(tense music)
- Okay standby, here comes
Pep with her blind date.
It's a go, hit 'em, hit 'em.
Police officer, freeze,
hold it right there!
(baby crying)
- Well it's nice of you
gentlemen to stop by,
I wouldn't do anything
foolish, buddy, put 'em back up.
Hand me over that radio, man.
- Silky's sure getting slick!
- Party's over, Tom,
everything's cool.
- [Bill] Got another
one for you, Joe.
- I got a place for him too.
- So what have we got here?
Oh look at this, look at this.
- That's a load of dope.
But I don't think none of these
guys are our number one man.
- He's not gonna be seen in
the same room with the stuff
he's too smart for that.
- Yeah well maybe I can
talk one of these turkeys
to do one over on us.
- Wouldn't bet on it.
- Uh-huh, I'll start
with Bo over there.
- Bill, listen, that baby's
been crying like that
ever since I walked
into this building,
I'm gonna check it out.
- Okay watch yourself.
Hey, Pete.
- Yes?
- Go with Pep will you?
- Yeah you got it.
- Look at that, looks pure too.
Let's get these
turkeys downtown.
- Right.
(baby crying)
- Police officers, anyone home?
Oh, this baby looks as if he's
been used as a punching bag.
- I'll call Juvie and get
somebody over here
from Child Abuse.
- Juvenile Division,
Sergeant Muldare.
- [Pete] Sergeant, this is
Investigator Pete Royster, Vice.
- Yes, Royster?
- [Pete] We found a
battered child at a place
we just made a bust.
- What's the address?
- 870 Palm.
- I'll be right there.
- [Joe] Easy does
it watch your head.
- Ah, Loretta they're
up on the sixth...
- Yeah, Crowley I know.
- Friendly.
- She's a little short
on the amenities
but I'll tell you something,
she's the best in the business.
(door knocking)
- It's open.
Oh, Loretta, I'm glad it's you,
this baby's awfully beaten up.
- You don't have to stick
around, Pepper, I'll handle it
from here, well you can't add
anything, call an ambulance.
- [Pete] It's on its way.
(siren wailing)
- Have someone take my car
and meet me at the hospital,
I'm gonna ride with the baby.
- Mind if I ride along,
please, I want to.
- He was in pretty bad
shape before the beating,
besides being undernourished,
there's evidence of an acute,
recent strep infection.
I want complete X-rays,
blood chemistry, CBC,
urinalysis, stat.
Good work.
- Sergeant Anderson found him.
- Just in time.
- Thank God.
- Hell couldn't be much worse.
Somebody else commits the crime,
and these kids
get the punishment.
- Why don't we get a
decent cup of coffee?
We haven't talked in ages.
- Oh I haven't got the time,
I've gotta get
this report started.
But you could come back with
me and maybe we could go out
for a bite after, I don't feel
like eating alone tonight.
- Oh yeah that
was really a time.
And remember
Fred, that big moose
we had for a PT instructor?
Oh boy, he sure didn't
like police women.
- Oh no I remember the
time that you put that bar arm
control hold on him, and
he just stood straight up
and kept on talking with
you dangling from his neck.
- Yeah, men, this
hold is used to control
combative arrestees, eh!
Boy was he something.
- Yeah.
- You want a cup of coffee?
- No thanks.
But there's a machine
right down the hall.
- Oh I think I'll get one.
I'll be right back.
- Okay.
Oh thanks a lot, Charlie.
- You got something?
- Do you have to be home early?
- No just in time to
wash my hair, why?
- I wanna check something out.
- About the baby?
- No, about the scum
who calls himself its father.
- Ugh, that dope fiend!
His lady friend moved
out a couple of weeks ago,
and left him with the kid,
he's been keeping us up
the whole week
with his screaming.
Oh there's the bum
now, the loving father.
- I wanna talk to you.
I said I wanna talk to you!
- Freeze, or you're
one dead turkey.
She's interrogating him
now, boy can she be tough.
- She sure came down
heavy on me didn't she?
Maybe her stripes are putting
her through some heavy...
- She isn't even aware
of you or your rank,
maybe Loretta doesn't
have a lot of tact
or diplomacy but she
does know her job.
And that's all she's
really interested in.
- [Bill] Well come on, Pepper,
the lady's got problems.
- What?
- The lady's got problems.
- Well what do you mean
by that, who doesn't?
- Pepper, what he means
is that nobody even knew
she drank until somebody
saw her sober one day.
- What, I've never even
seen her at Vinnie's.
- [Pete] No she wouldn't
drink where cops hang out.
- What are we discussing
here, we got things to do,
come on let's
move it, shake a leg,
I'll buy the first
round at Vinnie's.
Take it down and book it.
- My guess is 1650 grams.
- 1575, bet ya.
- You got it.
- I'll tell you in a minute.
- Hey, Pep?
- Mm-hmm?
- You know what I
said about Muldare?
- Yeah you said what you
said, Joe, it's no big deal.
- Well I didn't know that
you and she was so close.
- We're not really.
It's strange, we used
to be but not anymore.
- Then how come you
came on so strong for her?
- How come?
We came on the force
together, made sergeants
off the same list, I even
worked Child Abuse Unit
with her a few months.
- Oh yeah?
- Yeah, boy...
I guess I know her as
well as anyone here,
it's just that, I don't know,
maybe I feel sorry for her.
She's been on that same job,
all those kids,
ever since she got
out of the academy.
That could change
anybody's personality.
And she's alone,
she's, she's got nobody.
Her husband was in
the Marines and um,
one of the first ones
killed in Vietnam.
She never remarried and never
had any children of her own.
She's a great girl.
- 1650 right on the nose.
- Well, win some, lose some.
- Oh I forgot to tell
you, Property called.
They said, "Tell Pep
she's quite a calculator."
- Oh next week I'll show
them my logarithms.
- Oh can we watch?
- Hey, Karen, how
about a little service?
- Hi, Karen.
- Yes?
You planning a
surprise for me tonight,
or should I just
bring the usual?
- Do you have any
(speaking foreign language)?
It has a certain (speaking
in foreign language)
and a very good ruse.
- Four beers.
- She knows you.
No seriously, did
anyone get lucky tonight,
will any of them roll over?
- Are you kidding, they're
so scared of the connection,
they'd rather take life
sentences then
admit that somebody
else was involved.
(rumbling)
- I'll see if I can
give her a hand.
Hey, stranger, what
are you doing here?
- Oh, hi Pep, oh, just
any old port in the storm.
And it's raining out right now.
Well it's raining in
Scotland, Turkey.
Hey are they still
growing poppy's in Turkey?
- I guess so, or
we'd be out of a job.
- Yeah...
Hmm, Pepper, I might just
be sitting on a clue for you.
- Well?
- I'll get it to you, as
soon as I develop it.
I am a detective you know.
- I know, and a very good one.
- Damn right I am.
And I don't have
to stay in Juvenile.
I don't have to stay
with those battered kids.
I've had enough, I
can get out of Juvenile.
- Loretta, let me
give you a lift home.
- I'll get myself home.
- I'll follow her home.
- [Janitor] Hey, Spider,
what's happening?
- Hey, man!
You know stuff, stuff.
- Hey.
- Hey listen, Bo.
I wanna go through
some of Jeannie's pictures.
- Hey where's your chick
been we had nobody taking
pictures here for a
couple of weeks now.
- Yeah she split, man.
- Oh...
- Listen, you know, I
just wanna go through
her filing cabinet
in the dark room.
- Oh well now you know
nobody's allowed back there,
if the boss found out I'd
get kicked out on my a...
I can't see too good
back there anyway.
- What the hell do you want?
- See, I told you he'd see me.
I want you to represent me.
- [Lawyer] What have
you been smoking?
- Everything I can
get my hands on.
But you're gonna
represent me anyway.
- Get outta here
before I call the police
and have you picked
up on another charge.
- No no I don't think so.
See I happen to
have this photograph,
that I can use as a retainer.
And I already told this lady
cop you're gonna be my lawyer.
What I didn't tell her is,
that your service is for free.
- What photograph?
- What photograph?
Right here.
I don't have to tell you the
negative is in a safe place.
- Big deal, he was
a client of mine.
- He's the biggest
dope dealer in the state.
- Nobody's perfect.
- What about this huh,
what about this right here?
- Where'd you get this?
- Oh from a friend
who owed me a favor.
Who would testify
that you wrote it.
- What do you want?
- I told you, councilor,
I want help with this
child-beating rap, and keep
that lady cop off my back.
See I can't afford to
go down for another fall,
you understand, they'll throw
the key away on me, ya dig?
So once this is over
you'll never see me again.
That ain't gonna make
you frown now is it?
- I'll see what I can
do, I want that negative.
- All right, okay, hey hey!
Okay, just do it you'll get it.
- Get Madison on the phone.
- Yeah, Larry, what's up?
- Come on, Seymour,
what do you think
I rented a room at the
Blue Moon Motel for?
Yeah that's right I did
go there with a blond.
What, yeah what?
15 dollars for closed
circuit television,
I thought I told him not
to put that on the bill.
Uh-huh, that's right
it was a stakeout.
Yeah let me tell you
something, both people
don't have to look out
the window all the time.
Uh-huh, I tell you what,
yeah listen, Seymour.
Why don't you just bill me okay?
To the expense accounts.
- [Pepper] Did you
fellas find anything?
- No, just small time operators.
Nickel and dime stuff.
- There's gotta be a
thread somewhere.
There's gotta be some
connection with a big money backer,
'cause those three turkeys
couldn't raise enough bread
to buy a key of grass wholesale.
- No word from
the street people?
- Nothing but silence.
- Well then, what's next?
- I don't know for sure.
What I do know is our
mystery man must be hurting
from this last seizure.
If we could just hit him in
the wallet again right away,
he might get a little careless.
- Yeah, that could take time.
He usually wants
his money upfront
and we can't raise a big bundle.
- Yeah.
I tell you what we could do.
We could put out the
word there's a big buyer
in from Detroit who's lost his
south of the border connection.
Of course we'd have
to borrow some people,
'cause he's sure to
know you two guys.
- Loretta.
- What about her?
- Last night, she
said something about
sitting on some information,
but the shape she was in,
I just let it go.
But she was handling
that child abuse case
next door to where
we made the bust.
- Well, didn't she hint what
the information was about?
- No, she said she
wanted to develop it.
- Get it.
- I think you're overreacting
because of what we just lost.
- Look, Marty, we
haven't become successful
in our little ventures
by being careless.
I don't want to leave loose
ends lying around now.
- There are no loose ends.
- No?
There's a lady cop.
She's asking questions about
why a high-priced attorney
would be representing
a two-bit hype
on a child beating charge.
And if she brings any
pressure to bear on Denton,
he'll roll over.
He'll do anything to
stay out of the joint.
- So we'll fix it so
Denton can't roll.
- Dammit, Marty,
that's not good enough.
Anything happens
to that little creep now,
she'll get even nosier.
- Now look at who's
getting careless.
You waste a cop and
you'll bring the world
down around our shoulders.
- Not if it's an accident.
- Yeah, well they're not always
easy to come by with cops.
- It shouldn't be too hard.
She drinks, Marty.
The lady is a drunk.
(phone ringing)
- Hello.
- It's Pepper.
- [Loretta] Oh hi, Pepper.
- Loretta, I tried to call you
three times from the office.
- Yeah, well I've
been out in the field.
- Well, last night you said
that you might have a lead
on this dope thing and I've
been talking to Crowley about it
and he said if it's
anything important...
- Well, it's about that
animal we took in last night.
There's something weird.
- Well, weird how?
- He can barely steal
enough to keep himself in junk,
but he claims his attorney
is Lawrence Henning.
- You mean the Lawrence Henning?
- Right, the Lawrence Henning,
who only handles
cases for five digits-plus.
- Yeah?
- Well, the word is he's either
doing something for Henning
or he's got something on him.
And the Bar Association is
looking closely at Henning
because of his association
with the syndicate.
Just might be some connection
with that big smack bust
you made next to
the creep's place.
I may have more
for you tomorrow.
I just got a call
from an informant
and I'm going out
for a meet right now.
- You're not going
out alone, are you?
- Pepper, I'm over 21.
- Well, at least tell
me where you're going.
- I'll talk to you, Pepper.
- Loretta.
- [Loretta] Thank you.
(groovy music)
- Hi.
Get me a martini
on the rocks, please.
Thank you.
Hi.
It's a nice place, isn't it?
- I've seen better.
- But not always alone, right?
- Right, absolutely right.
- Cheers?
- Chin chin.
- Oh, that takes me
back to good old Paris.
I used to work there.
Well, I don't know if you
could really call it work.
I was assigned to the
embassy for a few years.
- You were an ambassador.
- Marine.
I kind of minded the place.
Good duty, I tell you, I will
never be that lucky again.
Do you mind?
I'm Jim.
- You stationed around here?
- I arrived this morning.
I check in tomorrow a.m.
Camp Brooks.
- Brooks.
My husband...
- Wait, you're not gonna
tell me he's a colonel.
I'm gonna get a
chance to salute him
about three minutes when
he parades in here, are you?
- No, he was a Marine.
He was stationed
there for quite awhile
before he was shipped out.
- Is he still in?
- No, he's dead, he was killed.
- I'm sorry.
How about it, can I get
you another one of those?
What is your name?
(chuckling)
- Loretta.
Yeah, I guess I can
take another one.
- Sir, one more for
the pretty lady here
and one more for me, please.
And then I've got
to get me a cab.
Are they very hard to get
around here this time of night?
- I don't know.
- Hm.
Well, I need wheels
by the weekend.
Thank you.
Excuse me for asking,
but you're waiting
for somebody, right?
- Right.
- He shows, I blow.
It's an old friend's saying.
Chin chin, Loretta.
(phone ringing)
- [Bill] Hello.
- Bill, it's Pepper.
I hope I didn't wake you up.
Were you asleep?
- Huh?
- [Pepper] Were you asleep?
- Yeah, I guess so.
I was watching television.
What time is it?
- It's after three o'clock.
- Pepper, you know
it's three o'clock?
- Yeah, I know, Bill.
Listen, I talked to
Loretta around midnight.
- Uh-huh.
- And she was on her way out
to meet a friendly on our case.
And I've called her
every 15 minutes
and there's still no answer.
I'm really worried
about her, Bill.
- Did you ask her if
you could go with her?
- Yeah, of course.
- She gave you no idea
where she was going?
- No.
You know Loretta.
- Okay, Pep, give me 20
minutes, I'll pick you up.
- Okay.
- Look, you really
don't have to drive me.
I can still get that cab.
- It's all right, you're
alone and I'm alone.
(chuckling)
Oh.
- Well, at least let me
drive as the gallant Marine.
- Sure, Marine.
- Up we go.
Watch it.
(grunting)
You okay?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
(peaceful music)
(easygoing music)
(ominous music)
(crashing)
(explosion booming)
- It's incredible.
To be thrown clear...
If she'd gone all the
way down with that car,
she'd have been
burned to a crisp.
- Oh, I know.
- Pep, you know she's
been drinking, don't you?
- No, I talked
to her last night.
I don't think so.
- Well, they tell me
they found a half a bottle
of bourbon in her
glove compartment.
- Are you sure it was bourbon?
- That's what they said.
- Well, she drinks
scotch, you know?
Scotch drinkers hardly
ever drink bourbon.
It doesn't add...
I don't like it.
Now, she told me she had
gotten some information
about a lawyer who
might be involved in dope.
And then she's going
out to meet a friendly.
Next thing, her car
goes off the side of a cliff.
I don't buy it.
It's just too many coincidences.
What's her condition?
- It's critical.
- Well, what do you think?
- I think the same
thing you're thinking.
I'm gonna put a uniformed
guard on her door.
- Sergeant Crowley,
Sergeant Anderson.
- Hi.
Oh my god.
- She looks just like
one of her battered kids.
(somber music)
- Let's go.
- Well, I don't know for sure.
The word is she's a boozer
and we're here to
watch her dry out.
It's gonna be a double-duty.
- You.
What's your name?
- Uh, Pep, listen...
- I asked you, what's your name?
- Olsen.
- Olsen.
How long have you
been out of the academy?
- A year.
- A whole year.
And now you're dressed
up to look like a cop.
That boozer in there is a cop.
A real cop.
When she comes
to, if she comes to,
you ask her to tell
you about the years
she's spent tracking
down the lousy parents
of abandoned babies,
praying while the doctors
tried to patch up
the broken ones.
Watching while they
cut open the dead ones.
- What she's saying is pay
your dues before you judge.
- You idiot.
Have you seen the newspapers?
- Yes, I saw them.
It's just a simple...
- Just the perfect blunder.
Before, there's only
cop had suspicions.
Before she regains
consciousness,
the whole department will
be in here taking inventory.
- Are you kidding?
I thought you'd go to college,
you'd come out with some smarts.
Larry, there's no way they're
gonna tie us into this thing.
You understand?
There were no witnesses.
Hey, by the time
that cop comes to,
which she probably won't,
Denton's gonna be long gone.
- And what are you
gonna do with him,
dump his body in front
of the police headquarters
with his pockets full
of my business cards?
- Oh boy.
Hey, Larry, would
you relax, please?
Leave it to me.
Don't worry.
It's just a simple overdose,
no questions asked.
Just another dead hype.
And good riddance too, as
far as the cops are concerned.
- He is not your
run-of-the-mill hype right now.
- Hey, Larry, I told
you not to worry.
He won't be found locally.
He'll just be another body
found near the border.
Another Juan Doe who got too
much dream-maker all at once.
Relax.
Keep cool.
- Bingo, Juvenile's
already gone to warrant
on our little man.
His name is Wiley
Denton, AKA Spider.
- Fantastic.
- Really?
We just checked with R and I
and came up with this rap sheet
and a recent mug photo.
- Have they picked him up yet?
- No, he's split.
I guess he must've
heard about Muldare.
- We better find him
before his friends do.
- Now the uniform guys
are just having roll call,
so they're running
off a few extra copies
and Joe's passing
them out right now.
- Well, that's more like it.
Let's take a look
at this map here.
We can't cover the whole city.
Let's concentrate on this area
where this guy Denton was
living and fan out from there.
Check every gutter and
every shooting gallery.
I mean talk to everybody.
But no heroics, we want
this guy for questioning.
You getting my message?
- Now I don't care what
you do, but you find him.
And when you do, don't
louse it up like you did last time.
This stuff is pure dynamite.
It's 99 and 44 100% pure.
When he fixes, you
know where to deliver him.
- Thanks, pal.
And, by the way, don't
mention our little talk
to anyone, you understand?
Okay, good, good boy.
(shouting)
- [Basketball Player] Hey, man.
- What's happening,
little brothers.
- Nothing happening
unless you planning
on keeping that basketball.
- No, man, just
wanted to talk to you.
- Hey, man, what are you, the
heat or something, Mr. Mellow?
- Well, let's just say a
little something, okay?
- Hey, there ain't no call
to be rousing us, man.
- Hey, man, ain't no rouse.
Ain't no rouse.
I just wanna know whether
or not you seen this guy.
- Say, man, this
is that same dude
them other cats was
looking for, you know?
- What other guys?
- Hey, they was the heat, man.
But they dressed a lot
better than you, you know?
They dressed
like real detectives.
- All right.
Right on.
- [Ball Player] Come
on, let's split, man.
- Thanks again, Sloop.
You see him, give
me a call, will ya?
- [Joe] 12-Y-52 to 50.
- 12-Y-50 to 52, go ahead.
- [Joe] Pep, is Bill
there, can I talk to him?
- Hang on, Joe.
- [Bill] Go ahead, Joe.
- 50 to 52, hey, Bill, is
Juvenile looking for this guy?
- Juvenile?
No, they're just getting a
warrant out on him, why?
- Well, a couple
of kids just told me
about two plain clothes officers
who are looking for the
same guy we're looking for.
- Maybe your
hunch was right, Pep.
Joe, I doubt that those
guys are on our side.
I tell you, you better get
a good description of them
and pass it along, okay?
- [Joe] Roger.
- We better get a jump on 'em.
(knocking)
- Spider.
- [Spider] Yeah, I
already gave at the office.
- We were sent by a friend
of Mr. Henning's, Spider.
Open up.
(knocking)
Spider, we got a
little surprise for you.
Where's your old lady?
- She...
- [Henchman] Yeah.
- What do you care, man?
What's that to you?
- Well, you just looked like
you could use somebody
to take care of you.
Or something.
- Yeah, well where's
the package?
- Oh, first I've got a message
for you from Mr. Henning.
He wants you to know that
he's checked into your case
and he thinks he can
get you a dismissal.
But he wants you
to stay out of sight
until you hear from him.
And he thought you
might be able to use this
to help keep you cool
while you're waiting
to hear from him again.
- Wow.
- [Henchman] What's wrong?
- That's full O.Z., man.
- Well, I guess he figures
you might be holed up here
for a couple of weeks.
- You know, I
heard that lady cop
who was on my case took a fall.
- Really?
- [Spider] Yeah.
- You hear about that?
- Well, whatever happened,
I ain't gonna spend any time
crying over it, you know?
- You know, you don't
look so good, Spider.
You could probably
use a little taste
right now, couldn't you?
Why don't you go ahead and fix?
- All right, okay,
I'll be right back.
I've got my kit in the bathroom.
- [Henchman] Okay.
(ominous tones)
Spider.
(thrilling jazz music)
Spider.
(glass shattering)
(screaming)
- Joe, you wanna call
in for some backups?
They were last seen
running down that alley.
Nothing down there but a bunch
of empty warehouses
and factories.
Pepper and I'll work the alley.
You guys swing around
and take the street
and parallel us, okay?
Let's go, Pep.
- [Joe] 400 and Waldon Drive.
You got it.
(popping)
(grunting)
(menacing tones)
- See if you can
get in down there.
Spider, what are you hiding for?
We only wanna help you.
Spider.
Spider.
- 50 to 52, there's a fence
down here down on one and 7th.
We're gonna continue
through the alley on foot.
Starting with Casual Imports.
- [Joe] Roger.
(screeching)
- Help!
Help!
(thrilling music)
(screeching)
(glass shattering)
- [Pete] Police, hold it.
Put your hands...
(gunfire)
- Hold it!
(gunfire)
Hold it right there.
Drop the gun.
Drop it.
Put it down, put it down.
Put your hands on
the top of our head.
Joe, Pete!
All right, hold this.
Cuff him.
How's this one?
- Those two goons
were sent by Henning
to do a number on me, man.
They wanna pump me
full of pure, you know?
And that lady Juvie
cop in the hospital?
- Yeah, what about her?
- Well, she...
These yo-yos,
five will get you 10,
they tried to ice her, man.
Tell me it was no accident.
You freak!
You freak, you creep.
Hey, can you help me out, man?
I'm really sick.
- Joe.
- [Joe] Yeah.
- You better get 'em
separate ambulances.
Just keep 'em in
the holding tank
till Royster and Styles
get back from the jail ward.
I'll follow you to the
hospital and meet you there.
- I'll see what else
I can get out of him.
- [Bill] Okay.
- Okay, Spider, let's talk.
- I'm really sick.
Can you...
You're gonna help me out, right?
- Yeah.
- You know, you
don't have to talk to us
if you don't want to.
We know where to
find you if we have to.
- You know, my
friend, if I were you,
you know what I'd do?
I'd get myself a
good book and relax.
Now, according to
Denton and your friend,
we've got you on
possession of heroin,
four counts of assault, and
two counts of attempted murder.
So you're gonna
be here a long time.
Have a nice trip.
- Hold it.
Let's rap.
- Yeah, we just heard
they took her off critical.
Pepper and I are gonna
go over and see her now.
Okay, Tom...
Hey, Tom, who are you
guys starting pitching Sunday?
You do and I'm
gonna put Pepper in.
Working the dugout.
Okay, see you.
- What'd he say?
- The DA's gonna issue
warrants on Henning and Madison.
That'll take 'em out of
circulation just for awhile.
- You got 'em.
- Yep, with your help.
- Sure.
- How you feel?
- Terrific.
Hey, Crowley, if your team
ever needs another smart lady...
- What do you mean another?
- Watch it.
- You watch it.
(giggling)
- We can work on it.
- Are you serious?
- Sure we're serious.
Maybe you could
take Royster's place.
- Oh, you...
- You're just thinking I've
had enough of Juvenile.
- Maybe.
- And the bottle?
You don't have to
worry about that.
I've made up my mind.
I've gotta get my
head straight on that.
(chuckle)
I better.
And as far as the job
goes, I only got one job.
In a way, I
guess it's all I got.
You wanna know
something about kids?
- What?
- I sat down once
and I figured out
there are two billion
kids in this world.
So many of them need somebody.
Somebody who cares.
Somebody, anybody.
Maybe even me.
Didn't that doctor
say something to you
about leaving me
alone after a minute?
- He did say something
like that, didn't he?
- Why don't you get out of here?
- Sergeant Crowley,
Sergeant Anderson, I'm Olsen.
I was here on guard duty.
Dressed up like a cop.
- Yeah, how's it going, Olsen?
- Okay.
I was happy to hear
that Sergeant Muldare's
coming around.
- She's gonna be okay.
- Sergeant, I would
just like to apologize
for what I said about her.
- Well, it's a step.
(heroic music)
