they didn't follow us here i checked all

the way home you wouldn't see them if

they did

who are they

why are they chasing you

come on let's try and clear this thing

up okay

you jump in my car two guys with guns

are right behind you now i figure

if they catch you they're going to try

and use the guns on both of us

fine best thing to do now then is just

call the police no police

my best friend is a cop you can trust

him no police there's nothing they can

do to help

then there's nothing that i can do

either

i'll do that they're from the consulate

what consulate new dutch indies

i was brought over as a housekeeper to

go to school the rest of the time

sounds like a reasonable arrangement if

that's what it had been

but from the day i arrived i was a slave

they didn't let me go out for the first

three months i was working without light

up morning till night

and after dark

there were other amusements

what about your family i have none

and the police are no help

these men have diplomatic immunity they

cannot be prosecuted

come on that's crazy perhaps but it's

true

it's got to be something that you can do

no

i'm sorry i i can't i can't accept that

where are you going

let's prove you wrong stay here

so checking out the game tomorrow

sorry sir but you can't park here i just

did

no i mean this is a restricted area

those restrictions do not apply to me

anyway the rookie who called it in sees

it

picks it up getting his prince all over

the thing

walks over to us asking if it's anything

important and i scream at him not

anymore it's not

hey i did the same thing first crime

scene i went to i was so

eager anything going on nothing don't

jinx it okay

yeah okay

where's your commanding officer

out to lunch who is in charge now please

adam

then i will talk to you my name is

martin von skroyd

i wish to report a robbery here's a

picture of the woman who took the money

she's been in the employee of the

consulate for several months now

what was taken three thousand dollars in

cash 2 000 in bearer bonds

we discovered the theft less than an

hour ago so she cannot have gotten very

far

your name pedro

sergeant adam bedro i expect you

to put all your resources on this

bedroom

you will call me as soon as you have

found her

aren't guys like that supposed to goose

step or something

you guys get on this you want us to

round up the usual suspects

i want you to follow the standard

procedures

nothing more nothing less you're

supposed to use all your resources

you are all my resources

you do know how to treat a woman hey

these are ordinary hot dogs these are

the best hot dogs in the city

maybe in the entire state one day i'll

take you to

the best polar sausage place you've ever

been to anywhere

i didn't know this was a contest in my

life everything's a contest

now give me a dollar

i already bought lunch lunch doesn't

give us a client attorney relationship

who says i need one the way you sounded

on the phone

now what's your interest in the

diplomatic community

i'm just trying to broaden my general

knowledge grading my lawn was fertilized

last week

okay

someone i know is being chased the guys

that are after have immunity

why are they chasing her she says

they're keeping her as a slave in their

consulate

okay the important thing for her to do

is to apply for political asylum

does she have any kind of criminal

record

i doubt it then all she has to do is get

to a foreign office and they'll start

the process

what about the guys that are after her

is there any way to get them arrested

uh-huh they're on the diplomatic list

they're totally protected from criminal

proceedings

come on if they rape somebody or they

they commit murder

totally protected what you're saying is

they just

totally ignore the law i'm afraid so

and whatever they did to her they just

keep walking around

the important thing is that you get your

friend to a safe place

and they're protected there right as

long as she's got a clean record

if you have any problems call me

all this for a dollar yoon boudreau will

always get bargain raids

[Music]

[Music]

do

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

elena

first thing tomorrow we're gonna get you

political asylum

you just walk into a foreign office and

ask for

it i asked a lawyer friend of mine you

won't tell the police willie

no she won't

you didn't break any laws did you how do

you mean

when you escaped you you didn't uh try

and do anything to get back at those

people did you

[Music]

the mistake of coming in early to catch

up on some paperwork and instead

secretary don't bother to read them

they're all from the same guy

ben has been calling every five minutes

for the last

hour thank you detective kelsey

i promise personally take all your calls

for the rest of the day

i'm holding my breath at home

sergeant

why is there no action on the vans quite

missing person

first thing we say is good morning right

good morning now tell me about van gogh

he came in here yesterday to report a

robbery we did all the standard stuff

what's the problem

you tell me

he called you too uh-uh i gotta call him

down down from the chief

i'm impressed i'm not he got a call from

the capitol

foreign office did i just walk through a

time warp or what

they're real interested in keeping new

dutch indies happy

something to do with computers so the

chief wants this missing person found

pronto

come on charlie my people get cases up

to their eyeballs drop them

all of them until the girl's found

[Music]

so

[Music]

elena wake up time

[Music]

i found a little problem

[Music]

elena

[Music]

are you in there

[Music]

the political asylum thing it's it's not

going to be so easy

elena are you decent

coming in

[Music]

what's going on

you got her here in the nick of time so

she's gonna be

okay she'd just gone into shock why

people wait so long to get their

prescriptions refilled

young people always have more important

things to do yeah

i've got her resting now you'll be able

to take her home in about half an hour

that's great thank you doctor thank you

for getting her hair so fast

elena is one of my favorites if anyone

else wanders in i'll be in my office

making some calls thank you again

[Music]

tell the doctor i appreciate his call

withdrawal what brings you here

i thought i might take a look at the

girl's room get some indication of where

she went

excellent i'm glad to see you are

increasing your efforts yeah

murder robbery rape they're all taking a

backseat to this one

i sense some annoyance

look i understand your desire to get

your money back that's important

it's just that we have other priorities

to worry about

everyone thinks his priority is the most

important

that's why we need diplomats yeah

this feels more like a mugging than

diplomacy yeah

whatever proves effective

the girl's room is just behind you help

yourself

danke

[Music]

thank you dr rushman you keep in touch

now

come on thanks a lot doctor

you could have told me earlier i thought

i could go long enough oh

how much did we give you a month's

supply great

are we going to the foreign office now

no

why not i'll um i'll explain later

hey

kill him

woof

[Music]

look i'll get it here go to the car but

they have guns go let me get the house

[Music]

though

[Music]

[Music]

did you see it did you see the plate

[Music]

god

that's little with a why make sure you

get it right

yes ma'am now miss little did you get a

look at the woman driving the car

of course i did someone nearly runs you

over you're close enough to see them

real well

can you describe her young

it's the young ones that always drive

like crazies

and the men who were chasing her

foreigners

how do you know that i heard their

accents

what did you think i asked for their

passports sergeant

dr confirms that she stopped by to get

the insulin evidently she got here just

in time she'd gone into insulin shock

somebody brought her in here's his

description was there an accent

doctor didn't mention it

thanks miss little uh did you see anyone

in the car with a young woman

no one anyone near the car six feet

uh dark hair i told you no one

okay thank you very much

officer yes ma'am

i did happen to get a partial

license plate number

[Applause]

thank you miss little

any luck on the partial licensure main

computer's been down for the last two

hours

great maybe we should send van scoyke

over to sell the computer guys as new

it certainly wouldn't hurt your

department's efficiency

although it would appear that almost

anything would be of help

we're all doing the best we can yes well

you'll be relieved to know that your

services are no longer required

which is good news i think for both of

us yes

certainly is for me so what happened

the young lady in question contacted us

and has agreed to give the money back

in return we will drop the charges and

see about getting her returned home

the whole incident will simply be

forgotten

there'll be some paperwork to fill out

send them by the consulate i'll have one

of my people take care of it

i would thank you for your help with

robert there's been so little of it

you are amused sergeant

just reflecting

you know with you as a diplomat i'm

amazed your country is not in a

permanent state of war

you have no right to such insolence

just exercising my rite of free speech

too bad they don't make people like you

read our constitution before you come

into this country

i can cause you a great deal of trouble

sergeant you already have

i had cases that needed immediate

attention and they didn't get it

you are only our public servant pedro

and so are you

no we are hardly the same yeah that you

got right

my country and yours sees fit to grant

me certain powers

except you don't use them you abuse them

i did nothing more than report a crime

and insist that i drop everything else

listen up pal

people count more than property

i have a murder and two missing persons

that one hell of a lot more important

than your bearer bonds

i can have your career ended

get in line

you're gonna hear about that one i

certainly hope so

you want me to cancel the run on that

partial

how come man comes in here and climbs

all over us about finding some girl that

does a 180 without even slowing down

i want to know why

oh we have to get you out of the country

they have my passport

not to worry i know this guy in little

saigon is the best of making up phony

papers problem is he's very expensive

and he doesn't give credit so

what can you do well i'll think of

something

okay and voila

it's wonderful all right

i need um an advance

how much a thousand

that's pretty advanced i'm serious b

you got trouble no no nothing that some

money can't cure

sounds like trouble to me you want to

talk about it

look i need a loan you want to make it

fine you don't want to make it that's

cool all right but just spare me the

cross-examination okay

okay okay you need it

you got it but for me not from the bar

thanks

it's hard to resist when you're being so

charming

i'm sorry it's just uh it's been a long

night you're not planning on eloping or

anything like that are you

what your date the girl you ran out of

here to be with the other night remember

well i mean that was okay it was nothing

special

all right um

at the end of the night just take it

from the bar here i'll

hit the bank tomorrow on square with

malloy

thanks pete i really do appreciate this

hey you have anything left over

there's this book called how to win

friends and influence people

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

so

[Music]

do

[Music]

isn't pedro an owner of a bar

called malloys yeah

then i think this address is definitely

worth checking

[Music]

how long do you think you could keep it

up

i don't know hey

an hour a day a week

rest of your life give me a guess till

she's safe however long that takes

it's a fool's game grady it's the only

way to play this one

wrong you come to me we figure out what

to do

sorry b can't do it why the hell not huh

you don't trust me that's not the issue

no then tell me where is she

where is she

damn it after all this time you don't

trust me enough to let me help you

yeah you got it all backwards i trust

you too much now what the hell does that

mean

you are the most honest man i've ever

met oh come on it's got nothing to do

with it you're also a cop

yes i'm also a cop so if i had to come

to you what would you have done

hopefully i'd have done the right thing

you're gonna arrest the people that are

after her no

so then you would have to take her back

to them i'm not sure i'd have had to do

that

well if you're not sure then how the

hell can you expect me to hand her over

to you

oh so you trust me in certain situations

but not in others

that's right that's not the way trust

works

it's not a rheostat there's just two

positions man

on or off anything else you misusing it

when i get the feeling that you just

make up the rules as you go along

i'm just learning new ones or relearning

old ones that's it

and then you just pass them on to me

uh-huh

and what makes me so damn lucky because

you were the only one i got

now where is she

no yes because those people have gotten

lloyd's license plate the same as i did

and you can bet they figured out how to

tap in our computers now where is she

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

elena

but if they're insulin they're gonna let

it die

you don't even know for sure if they got

her the hell i don't

i mean in court sure yes your honor i

saw them take it by force from the

premises

so you're seeing no search warrant

that's what i'm saying

okay guys excuse me but as usual you're

looking at this thing all wrong

what is the point of the exercise to

rescue helena right

so who cares about search warrants we're

not looking to make a righteous bus

we're looking to get her out

it doesn't make sense pedro on rare

occasions

[Music]

no argument i'm trespassing it's a

misdemeanor violation i'll pay the fine

it's not there to be try upstairs

[Music]

stop

[Music]

just go back to sleep buddy

[Music]

[Music]

this one's for diplomacy

[Music]

you okay okay come on let's get out of

here

[Music]

buddy hey

[Music]

i think this is the best friend i was

talking about

nice to finally meet you young lady yes

for me too

all right let's get the hell out of here

[Music]

hey how come i get stuck cleaning the

kitchen

you lucky you got me here at all

actually out of curiosity

why the helping hand because if malloy

found this place a mess

she'd never get off your back and

there's more important things for her to

get after you about

oh life

like you showing up on time

like you not leaving until the end of

the evening

like you making sure the inventory's

kept up to date

okay yeah sure like that

we done could be that we did

elena's on our way home van scoyk's been

recalled right

right his government will prosecute him

because he doesn't have immunity in his

own country

still say it's a stupid law you know

you say that a lot countries got a lot

of stupid laws

oh hi

i'm impressed you should be

well anything interesting how loud was

gone

say more stuff same old stuff

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]
