(slow paced music)
- Ahh, it's weird Hooker.
It's been a quiet night.
How come I can't
shake the feeling
the lid is about to blow?
- Full moon.
- Oh come on, what are you
into astrology all of a sudden?
- This hasn't got anything
to do with astrology.
I'm talking statistics.
You ask any watch
commander, they'll tell you
the action goes off the
charts when the moon is full.
- Yeah?
Glad to hear that.
I had a little action
planned for later tonight.
Stefanie Mansfield.
- Ahh, little Stefanie, the
ski bunny you met last week.
- You got the bunny part right.
(upbeat music)
- You wanna leave it here?
- Yeah.
Then we can pull in closer when
we're ready to load the guns.
(ominous music)
(loud banging)
- [Police Officer] Hiya.
The police, open it up.
- What's the problem?
- [Police Officer] We
got a silent alarm call,
wanna check it out.
Thanks.
(loud gunshot)
- He's out.
I think for good.
- Well put him over
there and let's keep going.
- Hey man we could be
looking at a murder rap.
- Hey, hey, hey, you
wanna make big bucks
you gotta take big risks.
Besides, you guys
came crawling for this job.
- What do you mean crawling?
I got you the job for the
guns we're gonna rip off.
- Yeah, and it's
your job to make sure
that those punk gang
kids pay for every piece!
- Are you sure he's alone?
- I do my homework.
I got the security
schedule down.
- Alright, alright, the
elevators are over here.
Come on, we'll pick up some
stock cards on the way out.

But you never know
on a night like tonight.
(slow paced music)
- Alright, they're over here.
Grab the handguns first,
then the rifles and shotguns.

order any shotguns.
- Shut up Gomez, we
got other customers.
You'll get your
cut from that too.
(glass shatters)
(clanking)
(upbeat music)

some other store.
Come on Picasso,
let's do our thing huh?
- Graffiti freaks.
- Looks like the
paint is still fresh.
- Yeah and I don't like it.
I don't like any of
what I'm feeling.
- Like it's a full moon?
- That, and maybe
there's more to come.
- Let's take a look around back.
(ominous music)
(tires screeching)
(faint dispatcher)
- He's dead.
(ominous music)
- Do you hear anything?
- Zero.
- This way.
- No man this way.
- Man you're crazy man.
You can't hot wire a cop car.
- Yeah watch me.
Get in, I'll drop you
off at the pick up,
you can follow me.
(faint dispatch)
- The lines cut.
- Look at this.
- One of ours?
- I thought so but take a
closer look, it's a phony.
You better call for backup.
- Our car is gone.
- Say that again.
- Gone.
We've been ripped off.
- Are you setting me up?
There's nothing
happening on the first floor.
All the phones are out.
- You think whoever killed
the guard stole our car?
- I don't know.
You better check
out the other floors.
- Well if somebody's up there,
they're gonna hear the elevator.
- Okay, that's enough.
We've got everything
the gang wants.
- Hey man did you hear me?
We got other customers.
They're taking down a bank
and they need heavy artillery.
- 10 after one, I guess
they got hung up.
- It's not like them to be late.
Hooker always gets
here ahead of us.
- Well, five more minutes
and we get back to work.
(ominous music)
- Hey Mark, Mark.
Get something to pry that open.
- Relax, we got the combination.
(loud gunshot)
- What are you crazy?!
- Relax!
That guard downstairs is
beyond hearing anything.
- Yeah, but there
could be others.
- I checked this place
out good, there's only one!
- Then check it again!
- Use the stairwell.
I don't like surprises.
(ominous music)
- Nothing.
- We got visitors.
- What?!
Who?
- I don't know.
I saw two dark figures
and a flashlight beam.
- Cops?
- Or some other
guys trying to break in.
- It doesn't matter,
whoever they are, they're dead.
(faint hissing)
- You know the
trouble with cops?
- Yeah.
They think everything
should be black and white.
(both men laugh)
- Alright, let's go.
(upbeat music)
- Anything?
- Nothing.
But this is all she wrote.
Top floor and they
gotta be in here.
(ominous music)
(clicking)
- Hooker!
- Now.
(loud gunshots)
There!
(loud gunshots)
- You okay?
- I took one in the leg.

Four Adam 30 code one.
(beeping)
Four Adam 30 come in.
(beeping)
Four Adam 30 do
you read control?
- Where are those guys?
And why aren't they
answering their calls?
- Get hold of the watch
commanders Stace.
Ask for permission to look
for Hooker and Romano.
(ominous music)
- I think we got one.
- Let's rush 'em.
- Shut up.
Nobody's rushing anybody yet.
You keep 'em pinned
down while I check 'em out.
- Damn.
- Can you still
handle your weapon?
- Yeah.
Just don't think I
can move much.
- You won't have to.
Just make sure
that no one reaches
the stairs or the elevator.
I gotta find a phone
that's working.
- Looks like I got the soft job.
- That's okay
partner, I owe ya one.
- You think there's
only two of 'em?
- If there were more,
they'd be here by now.
- With that open
area they won't be
able to get to the
elevator or the stairs.
(man laughs)
- And neither can we.
- Hey man, this is getting to be
a lot heavier than
I thought it would.
- Don't go getting
flakey on us Gomez.
Rollins said you
had credentials.
All those years
running the gang.
- Yeah but we never
went up against cops.
(ringing)
- [Operator] Operator.
- Operator, this is
a police emergency.
(loud gunshot)
- I'll tell you when
you can invite
somebody else to
your housewarming!
I like the odds just the
way they are right now!
(beeping)
- [Narrator] 40 Adam
90 to Four Adam 16.
- Four Adam 16, go 90.
- This is Sheridan.
I'm overriding the
watch command.
You have permission to
cruise four Adam 30 sector.
Try and find 'em.
And keep me informed.
- Roger, 16 out.
(solemn music)
- You okay?
- Yeah.
They blasted the phone system.
- You didn't get through?
- No.
The phones on the
lower floor are out.
Even if we can get to them.
(ominous music)
- We got the flagpole Rollins.
Let's rush 'em.
Two less cops and the
world would be better off.
- Don't get crazy,
it's too risky.
We could take
'em in a crossfire.
Get room behind 'em.
Gomez cover.
Now when I give the word,
push the gun cart like
we're going for the elevator.
(ominous music)
- Something's up.
- They may be trying to find us.
Can you move?
- No.
But I'm not gonna stay here.
(slow paced music)
(suspenseful music)
(loud gunshots)
(ominous music)
- We got 'em!
We got 'em!
- No!
- Now!
(loud gunshots)
(loud gunshots)
- Where are they?
Jim I'm really getting worried.
- Ease up, they're okay.
We'll run into them
any minute now.
- Looks quiet.
- Take a look at that.
- That's what happens
if you have nothing to do
and no place to do it.
- And you left your
brains in the drawer.
Still no sign of
Hooker or Romano.
Let's check around back.
(beeping)
- Four Adam 90 to Four Adam 16.
We got a report that
a civilian was seen
driving a black and white
in the vicinity of Hunter Park.
That could have
been Four Adam 30.
Get on it.
- Four Adam 16 roger.
(slow paced music)
(solemn music)
(ominous music)
- I'm gonna get you out of here.
You need medical attention fast.
- We try to cross
in that elevator,
we'll both be hampered.
Besides,
I don't think I can
make it that far.
- I'll get you there.
- I've got a better idea.
I'll cover while
you go for help.
- Negative.
You won't last long
alone against three guns.
- I'll take my chances.
- We're both going
out of here together.
We need some diversion.
- Why don't we just split huh?
And hit some place that
ain't loaded with cops.
- I don't know.
I guess it just sorta
makes my day.
Ooh I hate cops.
They've been pushing
me around all my life.
And now it's my
turn to push back.
- Give me your handgun.
- You hear that?
- What? Where?
- They're moving.
- Where?
(faint hissing)
- It's over there.
- Check it out, we'll cover ya.
(ominous music)
(perky music)
(ominous music)
(perky music)
(ominous music)
(suspenseful music)
(loud gunshot)
- What's that?
- Here, take it.
When I tell you, you pull it.
- One of them moved
out about 10 yards
and then went back in.
- Oh they're up to something.
- Can you make it?
- We'll find out.
- Alright.
When we get
inside the elevators,
you push the
button while I cover.
- Okay okay, Martin,
get back where you were.
Gomez, get down to
the end of the cabinet.
Now if they try something I
wanna know about it real fast.
- You ready?
- Okay wait, wait.
- You can make it partner.
- If it all goes sour,
I want you to make
sure my dad gets this.
- Easy Red.
- $20 gold piece.
Belonged to my grandfather.
Lucky double eagle.
- Well you're gonna
need it yourself
if you're gonna get
lucky with Stefanie.
Let's do it.
(ominous music)
- Alright, it's all over!
We got your flag, lay
down your weapons!
Alright that's it,
no more warnings!
Let 'em have it!
(loud gunshots) (upbeat music)
- They're empty.
- Empty.
(ominous music)
(loud gunshot)
- Get out of the way
Rollins, I'll take 'em!
(loud thud)
No, you'll hit Rollins!
(loud gunshot)
- Drop it it's over.
- For you man,
it's all over for you!
(slow paced music)
(ominous music)
- Elevator sounds
like it stopped.
- Find something
to pry the door open!
We'll look down and
see what floor they're on!
- What about the second cop?!
- I'll get him.
Cover me.
(suspenseful music)
- Come on cop!
Stick your head up
so I can blast it off!
- Give it up,
there's no way out.
- Well that's a laugh, ha ha.
You're the one
that's in trouble.
Your partner's
probably dead by now.
You know, you've
been here for two hours
and no help showed.
I got two guns upstairs,
but baby you are all alone.
- My partner can
take care of himself.
Hell I won't even make good
that your two clowns have split.
- Oh?
They'll come get me.
You see they're
too scared not to.
- I'm not so sure.
That guard you
smoked downstairs,
he adds up to enough
prison for three life times.
They'd be smart to leave ya
and save their own necks.
- How long do you think
you can hold that gun
without getting careless?
- For the rest of
your life maggot.
(ominous music)
That's how long.
(suspenseful music)
(clanking)
- He's dead.
Let's get Rollins
out of the elevator.
- It's Four Adam 30 alright.
- What do you think happened?
- I wish I knew.
Paint look familiar?
- Shopping center.
- Right, let's call it in.
(faint dispatch)
This is Four Adam 16.
We located Four Adam 30.
Both officers are missing.
Advise 4W90 there's
fresh paint on it
that matches fresh graffiti
found at Fashion Plaza.
(ominous music)
- What are you playing
hero for anyway huh?
You want a promotion?
Extra 10 bucks a month huh?
Now me, I've got a
good business going.
A real business.
I move a lot of guns.
I can put oh, a
couple hundred cash
in your pocket every week.
Tax free.
- I'm not for sale.
- Oh come on cop wise up.
Hey hey, all you gotta do is
you tell your head man
that you're outnumbered
so we got away.
Who could blame you?
- The way that
control panel looks,
neither one of us
is going anywhere.
Why don't you push a
button and see if it moves.
- What are you trying to pull?
- Well you're making
a lot of big talk.
(laughs)
You have no idea
how to get out of here.
Somebody has to
see if this box moves.
- Oh yeah?
You'd like me to take
my eyes off you huh?
Just for a split second.
Well forget it.
Besides, that panel
was blown to shreds.
- But it just might work.
And that could be very important
to whichever one of us
comes out of this alive.
I'll make you a deal.
Let's both get up
at the same time.
- Okay.
Just,
you move easy.
(ominous music)
- Real slow.
- Oh yeah.
Damn it!
No no, you don't
push any down buttons.
If we're going
anywhere we're going
up to my men.
- You wanna decide
which way this thing goes
you push the buttons.
(ominous music)
You need glasses, you
pushed the wrong button.
(loud thud)
(laughs)
- Ooh, you should
have killed me cop.
- Next time.
I will next time.
- [Martin] Hey Rollins!
You okay?!
- Yeah yeah!
Get down here
and open the hatch.
- They move you're dead.
Even if you shoot me too.
- Take it easy, we're coming!
- Tell 'em or you'll bite it.
- Hold it Martin!
Now just,
don't do anything til I tell ya.
- What are they doing?
- I can't see anything
but the top of the car.
There's a ceiling hatch
we can get through
if we can get down to it.
- The doors are jammed,
no way we can pry 'em
open to get down there.
We're gonna have
to cut 'em open.
- Okay.
We'll get the torches
out of the van.
- Oh you're tired?
- Afraid my hand will cramp
and you'll catch a bullet?
- Well you can always
throw down that gun.
I mean,
you're not gonna make it anyway.
Eh, eh, eh.
- Why don't you use
your brains friend.
You try to buy
me it didn't work.
You a man of God?
You don't have
another hand to play.
- You actually
believe you're some
kind of Boy Scout hero.
You know what I bet,
I bet you're a cop because you,
you wanna help people right?
- Yeah, something like that.
- Well here's your big chance.
Help me.
Save my life.
(laughs)
Well I mean that's what
you believe in isn't it?
(tires screeching)
(loud gunshots)
- Yeah!
Yeah!
- How your cop
friends forgotten you.
And we're losing
oxygen down here.
And I am your only way out.
- The store's gonna
open in the morning.
We'll be found then.
- So?
Unless you got the
guts to pull that trigger,
you're still gonna
be my hostage.
(suspenseful music)
(ominous music)
- Over here.
Vince.
- Get an ambulance.
Easy easy.
- Vince can you hear me?
- What happened Romano?
Where's Hooker?
- Trapped in an elevator
with one of them.
With an empty gun.
- Hooker has an empty gun
and the other guy's armed?
- Take it easy, take
it easy Romano.
An ambulance is on it's way.
Hooker!
You down there?
This is Captain Sheridan.
- Here Captain!
- Shut up!
- Look we talked to Romano,
he told us the situation.
You understand?
I understand what's
happening down there.
- I got ya Captain!
- I'll do the talking here!
Now,
I'm gonna kill your man
unless you get me out of here.
- Go on, I'm listening
to what you have to say.
- You tell your
man to drop his gun.
You get us out of this elevator,
you have a car waiting.
When I see that I
am not being followed,
I'll release your man unharmed.
- I'll think about it.
- Think quick!
- We got a lousy hand.
With an empty gun,
Hooker is a hostage.
(ominous music)
- Hurry up Captain,
you're stalling.
(loud coughs)
(Hooker mumbles)
- Not to me.
- What?
- The Captains using (coughs),
he's using tetride nerve gas.
(coughs)
They're pumping it in.
They're stalling
and pumping it in!
- What are you trying to pull?
I don't smell anything.
- It's odorless!
They're sacrificing
me to get to you!
- Cut it!
(coughing)
- I can't stand that.
Get me out.
I can't (coughs).
I can't stand.
- Sit down!
- Get me out!
Get me out!
My lungs are on fire!
- Crazy!
- Here!
I'm your hostage!
- Now what did that get you huh?
- It got you an empty gun.
- You expect me to believe that?
- Hey, I don't care
what you believe.
- Hold it.
- You don't get it.
It's all over.
- Nah.
For you.
(clicking)
(slow paced music)
- [Captain] Well let's clean
it up and get out of here.
- Captain, got a citizen report.
A guy saw a pickup follow
Four Adam 30 into the park.
Noticed a kid was driving 30.
Took down the
pickup's license number.
- And all points turn the truck
along with two juveniles
and some spray paint cans.
- The wounds bad
but it looks clean.
Nothing broken.
- Then he'll be okay?
- Yeah looks that way.
- How do you feel Hooker?
- Oh I'm glad to be alive.
I think if we had
to wait til morning
to be found in there
neither one of us
would have lasted.
- You know I got
this funny memory
for like names,
faces, badge numbers.
I'll see ya again.
I'll be thinking
a lot about you.
- You do that, 'cause
you're gonna have
plenty of time to think.
When they close
the cell doors on you
you're gonna be
old and gray before
you breathe free air again!
Get him out of here.
(solemn music)
(fast paced music)
(slow paced music)
- Ahh, it's weird Hooker.
It's been a quiet night.

- Damn.
- Can you still
handle your weapon?
- Yeah.
Just don't think I
can move much.
- You won't have to.
Just make sure
that no one reaches
the stairs or the elevator.
I gotta find a phone
that's working.
- Looks like I got the soft job.
- That's okay
partner, I owe ya one.
- You think there's
only two of 'em?
- If there were more,
they'd be here by now.
- With that open
area they won't be
able to get to the
elevator or the stairs.
(man laughs)
- And neither can we.
- Hey man, this is getting to be
a lot heavier than
I thought it would.
- Don't go getting
flakey on us Gomez.
Rollins said you
had credentials.
All those years
running the gang.
- Yeah but we never
went up against cops.
(ringing)
- [Operator] Operator.
- Operator, this is
a police emergency.
(loud gunshot)
- I'll tell you when
you can invite
somebody else to
your housewarming!
I like the odds just the
way they are right now!
(beeping)
- [Narrator] 40 Adam
90 to Four Adam 16.
- Four Adam 16, go 90.
- This is Sheridan.
I'm overriding the
watch command.
You have permission to
cruise four Adam 30 sector.
Try and find 'em.
And keep me informed.
- Roger, 16 out.
(solemn music)
- You okay?
- Yeah.
They blasted the phone system.
- You didn't get through?
- No.
The phones on the
lower floor are out.
Even if we can get to them.
(ominous music)
- We got the flagpole Rollins.
Let's rush 'em.
Two less cops and the
world would be better off.
- Don't get crazy,
it's too risky.
We could take
'em in a crossfire.
Get room behind 'em.
Gomez cover.
Now when I give the word,
push the gun cart like
we're going for the elevator.
(ominous music)
- Something's up.
- They may be trying to find us.
Can you move?
- No.
But I'm not gonna stay here.
(slow paced music)
(suspenseful music)
(loud gunshots)
(ominous music)
- We got 'em!
We got 'em!
- No!
- Now!
(loud gunshots)
(loud gunshots)
- Where are they?
Jim I'm really getting worried.
- Ease up, they're okay.
We'll run into them
any minute now.
- Looks quiet.
- Take a look at that.
- That's what happens
if you have nothing to do
and no place to do it.
- And you left your
brains in the drawer.
Still no sign of
Hooker or Romano.
Let's check around back.
(beeping)
- Four Adam 90 to Four Adam 16.
We got a report that
a civilian was seen
driving a black and white
in the vicinity of Hunter Park.
That could have
been Four Adam 30.
Get on it.
- Four Adam 16 roger.
(slow paced music)
(solemn music)
(ominous music)
- I'm gonna get you out of here.
You need medical attention fast.
- We try to cross
in that elevator,
we'll both be hampered.
Besides,
I don't think I can
make it that far.
- I'll get you there.
- I've got a better idea.
I'll cover while
you go for help.
- Negative.
You won't last long
alone against three guns.
- I'll take my chances.
- We're both going
out of here together.
We need some diversion.
- Why don't we just split huh?
And hit some place that
ain't loaded with cops.
- I don't know.
I guess it just sorta
makes my day.
Ooh I hate cops.
They've been pushing
me around all my life.
And now it's my
turn to push back.
- Give me your handgun.
- You hear that?
- What? Where?
- They're moving.
- Where?
(faint hissing)
- It's over there.
- Check it out, we'll cover ya.
(ominous music)
(perky music)
(ominous music)
(perky music)
(ominous music)
(suspenseful music)
(loud gunshot)
- What's that?
- Here, take it.
When I tell you, you pull it.
- One of them moved
out about 10 yards
and then went back in.
- Oh they're up to something.
- Can you make it?
- We'll find out.
- Alright.
When we get
inside the elevators,
you push the
button while I cover.
- Okay okay, Martin,
get back where you were.
Gomez, get down to
the end of the cabinet.
Now if they try something I
wanna know about it real fast.
- You ready?
- Okay wait, wait.
- You can make it partner.
- If it all goes sour,
I want you to make
sure my dad gets this.
- Easy Red.
- $20 gold piece.
Belonged to my grandfather.
Lucky double eagle.
- Well you're gonna
need it yourself
if you're gonna get
lucky with Stefanie.
Let's do it.
(ominous music)
- Alright, it's all over!
We got your flag, lay
down your weapons!
Alright that's it,
no more warnings!
Let 'em have it!
(loud gunshots) (upbeat music)
- They're empty.
- Empty.
(ominous music)
(loud gunshot)
- Get out of the way
Rollins, I'll take 'em!
(loud thud)
No, you'll hit Rollins!
(loud gunshot)
- Drop it it's over.
- For you man,
it's all over for you!
(slow paced music)
(ominous music)
- Elevator sounds
like it stopped.
- Find something
to pry the door open!
We'll look down and
see what floor they're on!
- What about the second cop?!
- I'll get him.
Cover me.
(suspenseful music)
- Come on cop!
Stick your head up
so I can blast it off!
- Give it up,
there's no way out.
- Well that's a laugh, ha ha.
You're the one
that's in trouble.
Your partner's
probably dead by now.
You know, you've
been here for two hours
and no help showed.
I got two guns upstairs,
but baby you are all alone.
- My partner can
take care of himself.
Hell I won't even make good
that your two clowns have split.
- Oh?
They'll come get me.
You see they're
too scared not to.
- I'm not so sure.
That guard you
smoked downstairs,
he adds up to enough
prison for three life times.
They'd be smart to leave ya
and save their own necks.
- How long do you think
you can hold that gun
without getting careless?
- For the rest of
your life maggot.
(ominous music)
That's how long.
(suspenseful music)
(clanking)
- He's dead.
Let's get Rollins
out of the elevator.
- It's Four Adam 30 alright.
- What do you think happened?
- I wish I knew.
Paint look familiar?
- Shopping center.
- Right, let's call it in.
(faint dispatch)
This is Four Adam 16.
We located Four Adam 30.
Both officers are missing.
Advise 4W90 there's
fresh paint on it
that matches fresh graffiti
found at Fashion Plaza.
(ominous music)
- What are you playing
hero for anyway huh?
You want a promotion?
Extra 10 bucks a month huh?
Now me, I've got a
good business going.
A real business.
I move a lot of guns.
I can put oh, a
couple hundred cash
in your pocket every week.
Tax free.
- I'm not for sale.
- Oh come on cop wise up.
Hey hey, all you gotta do is
you tell your head man
that you're outnumbered
so we got away.
Who could blame you?
- The way that
control panel looks,
neither one of us
is going anywhere.
Why don't you push a
button and see if it moves.
- What are you trying to pull?
- Well you're making
a lot of big talk.
(laughs)
You have no idea
how to get out of here.
Somebody has to
see if this box moves.
- Oh yeah?
You'd like me to take
my eyes off you huh?
Just for a split second.
Well forget it.
Besides, that panel
was blown to shreds.
- But it just might work.
And that could be very important
to whichever one of us
comes out of this alive.
I'll make you a deal.
Let's both get up
at the same time.
- Okay.
Just,
you move easy.
(ominous music)
- Real slow.
- Oh yeah.
Damn it!
No no, you don't
push any down buttons.
If we're going
anywhere we're going
up to my men.
- You wanna decide
which way this thing goes
you push the buttons.
(ominous music)
You need glasses, you
pushed the wrong button.
(loud thud)
(laughs)
- Ooh, you should
have killed me cop.
- Next time.
I will next time.
- [Martin] Hey Rollins!
You okay?!
- Yeah yeah!
Get down here
and open the hatch.
- They move you're dead.
Even if you shoot me too.
- Take it easy, we're coming!
- Tell 'em or you'll bite it.
- Hold it Martin!
Now just,
don't do anything til I tell ya.
- What are they doing?
- I can't see anything
but the top of the car.
There's a ceiling hatch
we can get through
if we can get down to it.
- The doors are jammed,
no way we can pry 'em
open to get down there.
We're gonna have
to cut 'em open.
- Okay.
We'll get the torches
out of the van.
- Oh you're tired?
- Afraid my hand will cramp
and you'll catch a bullet?
- Well you can always
throw down that gun.
I mean,
you're not gonna make it anyway.
Eh, eh, eh.
- Why don't you use
your brains friend.
You try to buy
me it didn't work.
You a man of God?
You don't have
another hand to play.
- You actually
believe you're some
kind of Boy Scout hero.
You know what I bet,
I bet you're a cop because you,
you wanna help people right?
- Yeah, something like that.
- Well here's your big chance.
Help me.
Save my life.
(laughs)
Well I mean that's what
you believe in isn't it?
(tires screeching)
(loud gunshots)
- Yeah!
Yeah!
- How your cop
friends forgotten you.
And we're losing
oxygen down here.
And I am your only way out.
- The store's gonna
open in the morning.
We'll be found then.
- So?
Unless you got the
guts to pull that trigger,
you're still gonna
be my hostage.
(suspenseful music)
(ominous music)
- Over here.
Vince.
- Get an ambulance.
Easy easy.
- Vince can you hear me?
- What happened Romano?
Where's Hooker?
- Trapped in an elevator
with one of them.
With an empty gun.
- Hooker has an empty gun
and the other guy's armed?
- Take it easy, take
it easy Romano.
An ambulance is on it's way.
Hooker!
You down there?
This is Captain Sheridan.
- Here Captain!
- Shut up!
- Look we talked to Romano,
he told us the situation.
You understand?
I understand what's
happening down there.
- I got ya Captain!
- I'll do the talking here!
Now,
I'm gonna kill your man
unless you get me out of here.
- Go on, I'm listening
to what you have to say.
- You tell your
man to drop his gun.
You get us out of this elevator,
you have a car waiting.
When I see that I
am not being followed,
I'll release your man unharmed.
- I'll think about it.
- Think quick!
- We got a lousy hand.
With an empty gun,
Hooker is a hostage.
(ominous music)
- Hurry up Captain,
you're stalling.
(loud coughs)
(Hooker mumbles)
- Not to me.
- What?
- The Captains using (coughs),
he's using tetride nerve gas.
(coughs)
They're pumping it in.
They're stalling
and pumping it in!
- What are you trying to pull?
I don't smell anything.
- It's odorless!
They're sacrificing
me to get to you!
- Cut it!
(coughing)
- I can't stand that.
Get me out.
I can't (coughs).
I can't stand.
- Sit down!
- Get me out!
Get me out!
My lungs are on fire!
- Crazy!
- Here!
I'm your hostage!
- Now what did that get you huh?
- It got you an empty gun.
- You expect me to believe that?
- Hey, I don't care
what you believe.
- Hold it.
- You don't get it.
It's all over.
- Nah.
For you.
(clicking)
(slow paced music)
- [Captain] Well let's clean
it up and get out of here.
- Captain, got a citizen report.
A guy saw a pickup follow
Four Adam 30 into the park.
Noticed a kid was driving 30.
Took down the
pickup's license number.
- And all points turn the truck
along with two juveniles
and some spray paint cans.
- The wounds bad
but it looks clean.
Nothing broken.
- Then he'll be okay?
- Yeah looks that way.
- How do you feel Hooker?
- Oh I'm glad to be alive.
I think if we had
to wait til morning
to be found in there
neither one of us
would have lasted.
- You know I got
this funny memory
for like names,
faces, badge numbers.
I'll see ya again.
I'll be thinking
a lot about you.
- You do that, 'cause
you're gonna have
plenty of time to think.
When they close
the cell doors on you
you're gonna be
old and gray before
you breathe free air again!
Get him out of here.
(solemn music)
