not dangerous just uh i don't know a

bank fraud sort of thing but um

a lot of bounty hunters are looking for

him oh uh oh so you want to know if i

you damn first well you know this city

better than i do

yeah and i could really use a backup oh

it'll pay really really well how well

can you get us into police records or

anything like that oh yeah

i know a cop who will help us if this is

legitimate

well if we beat everybody to this guy

then it's 50 50.

50 000 for you and 50 for me

what do you say we can do this together

we can have a lot of fun

okay

and lisa lisa

this better not be a god i swear

i can't help

hey everybody this is lisa

lisa this is malloy hi nice to meet you

nice to meet you oh and this is the cop

i was telling you about adam boudreau

b this well next to me this is one of

the best fighters i know

yeah yeah lisa hanson

we already met what yeah you know

i think i got to go what's going on

today your friend here blew a

three-month undercover operation

look it was a legitimate mistake and

i've already apologized

and i suppose you're showing up here was

just a coincidence

b what are you talking about you just

introduced me as the cop you told her

about

yeah so let me guess she asked you to

get some police information from the cop

you told her about

look i don't need this i'm not here lisa

lisa

will you wait lisa wait lee you have to

leave

i don't believe you let me ask you a

question huh

did she ask you for information i

volunteered your help what's the matter

with that we're supposed to be friends

and friends do favors for each other

right yeah that's right i'm your friend

but i decide if and for whom i do favors

and i don't want to be used by bounty

hunters

what's just doing her job b well you got

some kind of problem with bounty hunters

yeah most of them yeah bounty hunters

will do whatever they can

to get their man including going to old

boyfriends and asking them to go to

their friend the cop

well you think she knew i had a cop

friend that's not what lisa's about

i saw her in action this morning believe

me that's exactly what she's about

i i get it oh

i bring somebody here that i've known

for years

that i lived with but you somehow were

you you somehow know her better than i

do

look i don't want to be used i don't

want to see you get used

fine you know

sometimes i think i answer the time warp

for you you knew me when i was eight

years old and in your eyes i just never

grown up in fact you spent

half of your life just trying to hold me

back just hold on

you call giving you a job and a place to

stay holding you back

if you feel so damned oppressed why

don't you just get your things and move

out

adam you took the words right out of my

mouth i'm out of here and i'll send

somebody for my stuff tomorrow

[Music]

fine

[Music]

man you know you i just can't get

through to him

you're sure he was so totally wrong

and what do you say i think that girl

meant a lot to him adam maybe more than

we realized

[Music]

yeah well look he'll

he'll come back here tomorrow we'll talk

it all everything will be all right

[Music]

hmm

[Music]

are you sure you kill after this so when

we catch this guy the sooner i get to

get on with my own life

you bet well the best way to do that is

to crack his motor vehicle records sure

except we still need help from a cop to

do it yeah

maybe i can still do something about

that right here

okay

great how you doing hey nice tie

oh thanks very much yeah what's up b is

be around now i'm expecting him in for

another

hour an hour oh man i'm trying to figure

something out

maybe i can help you i'm looking for

this guy right

and all i've got is a plate number oh

let me just uh

run the plate number through motor

vehicles and pull an address yeah what

if he's moved

ah well then check his parking tickets

see if there's a pattern

a dmv is gonna give me all that uh no

but uh

they'll give it to me any friend of a

joe's is a friend of mine

come on really yeah step into my parlor

yes that's great i owe you uh

a beer a beer ross will never forget all

right my friend thank you

okay look how about we talk

following me later you know i'm i'm kind

of busy doing what

while i'm registering with the desk

sergeant because like i said

i am helping lisa

i thought that might have blown over by

now i'm flying over why

huh well maybe you think that i'd just

make these kind of decisions on a whim

granny you have no idea what you're

getting into here

i pulled her file from back east why

that is none of your business man

yeah it is my business she's got a

string of busts that go back to age

15. i know all right maybe you should

have pulled my file b

and then you would have found out that i

was busted with her on probably half of

those arrests all right

things like oh what shoplifting

running out on restaurant checks things

that throwaway kids do

when they're trying to survive on the

streets why is it that my trying to

protect you makes you so damned angry

because i don't need your protection

all right i can make it on my own now if

you don't mind

i gotta go

you have a warrant for the guy you're

hunting down

are you asking me as a call yeah i'm

asking you as a cop

fine okay

why don't you uh take it

it's there

any luck yeah guys not exactly a model

citizen

got nine tickets in the last couple of

months five of them on the same block

this is great yeah you really had to

look more happy

yeah i i had it running with boudreaux

gritty you're not gonna back out on me

yeah how do you want to handle it hello

i'll take the front you take the back

what are you doing the reason i'm so

good at bounty hunter

is i always get in the door you know you

really ought to wear those

tonight when we celebrate what the

garter belt or the handcuffs

both now get out of here

[Music]

hello hello anybody home

what do you want hey uh my car broke

down and

i could really use a phone i don't think

so

no look i'm late for a date if you know

what i mean

there's ways i could pay for it let's

just hope you're calling long distance

anybody would tell you you look just

like edward samuelson

who are you

[Music]

ah

okay

well you couldn't do it on your own huh

what break my nails

who sensu soaking bail bonds you know

they'd really like to have a chat with

you you're crazy you don't know the

trouble you're getting into your stupid

little tram

manners

let me get into the car i'll come back

to your bike later please

you got anything on the samuelson

warrant yet i'm not sure

this was a valid warrant but court

canceled it a year ago

samuelson does have a record doesn't he

yeah but everything's one of the past

years been deleted

do you know what that means yeah i think

i do

i gotta get to grady

[Music]

i don't know how he'll take to an

outsider

it's me i got him

so

i can kid like i said you pay a little

more

you get a little more yeah done a great

job

let me take care right now

[Music]

oh

it was a setup brady it's a mob hit the

cops gonna blame us

hey any word from grady no

you know i'm afraid he really stepped in

at this time i just hope the argument

wasn't the last words we have trade

what why freeze nobody move

what is this

who are you special agent simpson who

are you okay check out that room over

there

detective sergeant adam bedrock the

metro police what are you doing here

we own the place what's your connection

to grady jamison

grady jameson works here now do you want

to tell me what's going on there's

nobody here

but it looks like jameson has a room in

back search it no you stay right there

i want to know what the hell's going on

we had a little problem with a protected

witness

your pal jameson and a woman named

hanson snatched him from his home an

hour ago

you sure about this the neighbors got a

plate number off the girl's car

we found jameson's motorcycle at the

victim's house the victim

they took our witness to a building on

10th street and were responsible for him

getting his brains blown out

look you barking up the wrong tree grady

jamison would never have done that

yeah well i think we'll let the jury

decide that now do you mind if we start

our search

we have a warrant

[Music]

here

[Music]

we'll be safe here for a while what is

this place

oh gang hang out our own little romantic

hideaway

here yeah this isn't much worse than the

last place we should

you want to uh maybe tell me what's

going on lisa

you want my best guess yeah samuelson

was in the witness protection program

well i don't get it but hitmen don't

like going after protected witnesses

they have to ask too many people too

many questions to find them

all right

so you think the shooter fooled you into

finding samuelson for him

exactly and when i brought him in he was

gonna blow me away so there wouldn't be

any witnesses

i'd heard about this sort of thing

happening

i just thought it was too smart for it

to happen to me

you are lisa you're safe

we can nail this guy all right but we

got to get the cops on our side

what makes you think the cops are going

to believe us look boudreau will stand

up for us but i don't want to drag him

into this

and then what the cops park us in jail

where they check out our stories

we won't last one day before someone

slides a ship in our backs

that's great well there's got to be some

way out of this

there's only one way i can think of we

stay on the run and we catch this hitter

ourselves

it's great it's great

hey you guys seen charlie pine around

he's with a bunch of feds adam is great

he really involved

unfortunately in that case i wish i was

a catholic so i can go to confession

what's that supposed to mean i pulled

the guy's address for grady

you did what grady said he needed help

tracing

somebody would run into him and you

weren't around so i figured what was the

harm

there was a lot of harm rothman grady

couldn't come to me so he conned you

i know i know i'm sorry sarge

all right just fill me in on what

happened it looks like after samuelson

was shot dead in the office

somebody moved the party out here i

found this chair on its last legs

uh so to speak my guess is greater use

that as a weapon

did we find any other signs of anybody

being hurt no if grady was here he

wasn't hit

if that's what you're asking thank god

for that

all right you find anything more you

give me a call okay

what are you doing here i'm

investigating a murder that took place

in my precinct

to which grady may be involved i don't

think so

come on charlie if grady was involved it

was a setup

where do you get that read the signs

simpson

they obviously thought they were making

a legitimate delivery to a bail bondsman

oh i don't doubt they could have been

hired by somebody here then why the

shootout

because they were amateurs this place

has plenty of ties to organize crime it

was safer to kill him than to pay him

look grady had nothing to do with a

contract on samuelson

then why did he run from the police

maybe you were scared

maybe he's out there with lisa right now

trying to catch the shooter no

i'll tell you what happened the girl got

stiffed on a contract

and almost killed now she wants her

money or revenge

she used your friend to get to samuelson

and she'll keep on using them to get to

whoever hired her

and who might that be

you know something don't you you know

who wants samuel sunderland

none of your business now go home

no come on

i hope your friend does turn himself in

detective

because if he doesn't that girl will get

him killed

[Music]

yeah but it's nobody i know the feds are

gonna have everything covered

we're not gonna get within a million

miles of a drill this is great

no look we might not have to i just

called the motel where kincaid is

staying

he hasn't checked out let's go

malloy in the office

any word no and there won't be

they're intercepting all our calls

gritty will never come in now yeah

that's what i told them but they don't

seem to care

maybe the fed's left something behind

adam

you know this isn't your fault right of

course it's my fault with the way i

dealt with grady yeah that's my fault

no well then it's just as much his

malloy maybe he's right maybe i still do

treat him like he's a kid well sometimes

he acts like he's still a kid

i think you treat him like a younger

brother you want to protect you treat

him like family

oh yeah right that's me adam patrol

family man i sure have had a lot of

practice with family life

well i think you've done a great job so

far malloy you're not listening to me

i grew up in orphanages and foster homes

and when i was old enough the army

i've never really experienced the real

family he'll i'd be scared to death to

have a family

yeah yeah that's why you never got

married never had a family

you know what they say raise a kitten in

the dark he grows up blind

well let me tell you something adam

boudreau i had a great dad growing up

but i looked up to you almost as much as

i did to him

you're as loving and caring a man as

i've ever met yeah

then why did everything fall apart with

grady because you're trying so hard to

protect him

and because the two of you are so much

alike

now that kind of looks like a family to

me

i gotta find grady

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

down i guess he must have run

before coming back to the room yeah look

what he left

[Music]

are you okay yeah

what happened it was a trap case was

wired

this guy's a problem you gotta get out

of here

come on

[Music]

you want me to do what tell me what the

feds aren't telling me that would be

violating the confidentiality of the

prosecutor's office

no i'm gonna find out anyway glad you

have so much self-confidence

come on come on inspector grady didn't

do it

just what is it you're looking for who

did samuelson testify against

come on sit down

tony ratches he's a big counterfeiter

samuelson was the banker who helped him

float his paper

why don't i know about tony raches he's

from back east

but he owns a labeling plant here in

town

you want to see the files okay

there you go take a look

this trial happened over a year ago and

he's still out on the streets why

ratchets was a teflon defendant

samuelson testified at his trial but the

jury didn't convict

then you're saying all this is over a

blown case hey

both the mob and the feds have to

protect their credibility

this is crazy and what do you mean if

the feds are so interested in protecting

their credibility then why aren't they

hauling tony ratchetson

who the hell are you mr ratchets adam

bedrock metro police

go ahead try it

i want to know who killed edward

samuelson it was a snitch

a lot of people wanted him dead but he

testified against you

hey listen i already had my chat to the

feds

they gave up and went home look i don't

care what the feds did

murder's a local crime too and it

happened in my precinct

so if you're smart you'll call off

whoever you're hired to do sanderson

you're very funny i'll tell you what the

joke is

every time your hitter tries to clean up

the mess he left behind he makes a

bigger one

sooner or later it's going to lead me

right to you is that what this is all

about

do you have a personal stake in this

case

the fed said it was some cute little

girl and a boyfriend that were involved

in this

pizza i would but i don't have a thing

to say

it looks to me like you came alone pedro

which means nobody's backing your play

remember this you hurt them

i heard you i remember that

so will my lawyers

[Music]

next time they get near you you better

blow them away

or else i'm gonna make someone who needs

an organ donor very happy

[Music]

ow

[Laughter]

that hurt well i've had worse

granny what are we gonna do hey

who's gonna get out of the city until

this thing blows over

and what about you well somebody's got

to stay here to resolve this

you're still trying to protect me

no before this happened i spent like

weeks trying to come up with some stupid

line

just to start a conversation with you

did you really

yeah yeah you know

it was like a gift from god

when that idiot started beating on you

right in front of me

yeah it was a gift of god to me he saved

my life

so i screwed up at least i'm sorry

i wanted it to last great

[Music]

hey i need to talk i'm busy with special

agent simpson

that's exactly who i need to talk to i

know about tony raches

now why isn't your squad all over him

what makes you think we aren't

because i just talked to him you had no

right to do that this is a federal

investigation yeah and you're trying to

crush my closest friend right in the

middle of it

maybe your friend isn't worthy of your

trust do you ever think of that

look you may have proof that lisa

hansen's a stone professional killer but

i know grady jamison's innocent

innocent he's sleeping with her oh yeah

how the hell do you know that no i i

meant you mean you've been keeping them

under surveillance haven't you

now how the hell did you find them

we uh we got lucky with an aerial search

the chopper spotted her car

and you just been watching them ever

since why it's our best way to nail

ratchets

oh so you're hoping the grady and the

girl take you to it or vice versa

man you're using them as bait if we

catch them getting payment from ratchets

we can prosecute him for the killing

yeah well what if he kills them instead

or is it all the same to you

yeah well your buddy and the girl did

get samuelson killed because you

and your crew did a lousy job of

protecting them now where the hell are

they

[Music]

also

oh hey honey where are you going

i figured out who set us up

that's great that's great let me get

dressed up

no i got us into this i'm gonna get us

out of it

lisa come on i'm not gonna let you do

this alone you're gonna have to

what look i never should have gotten you

into this grady

he said come on just let me help you you

can't stop me

calm down and listen to me no you either

fight me or you let me go

lisa lisa

[Music]

is

are you all right like i don't know how

the hell you found me now but i do not

have time to talk to you you better

because the feds have you under

surveillance

where where are they look that doesn't

matter now like hell it doesn't i gotta

get past them

and find lisa why where the hell is she

i can't talk to you all right why don't

you just get out of my way no no not

this time

not until you tell me what's going on oh

so you can just try and stop me again no

grady

look you make your own decisions just

just hear me out first

why because i want you to come back home

alive and so does malloy

i will come back home alive all right

but i'm gonna make sure that lisa does

too

lisa she's the one who got you into this

mess in the first place

fine and i'm the one that's gonna get us

out cause i will not let her down again

grady from everything i can see she's

the one doing all the letting down no

i was the one that let her down all

right

i let her fall in love with me years ago

i was the only guy in the whole world

that she could trust but i just blew her

off because i was so damn eager to chase

her down well i will not

let her down again

man are you positive she's innocent she

could just be stringing you along

i know her she's not a killer

all right i'll help you

save her the way you feel about her

grady you're my closest friend

if you trust her that much then i'm with

you

now where is she

come on

[Music]
