(dramatic music)
(suspenseful music)
- Beautiful, here,
this is exclusive.
- Okay, okay, I'm done.
Let's get out of here.
- Yeah, after we do upstairs.
- Oh Danny, Marcus only
gave us the alarm (mumbles)
for this part of the house.
- So we'll be careful, come on.
- Danny, Danny.
- Come on, come on.
- [Woman] No.
- We need a gold (mumbles).
(suspenseful music)
Somebody's coming.
(suspenseful music)
Welcome to the party.
- Hey, Lola.
Lola.
How's business, baby?
- Lousy.
It's not gonna get better
with me talking to you, Hooker.
- Well, let's cut it short.
I'm doing for somebody
doing in business in furs,
silverware, jewelry,
expensive things.
- Come on baby, do I look
like your second story, man.
- No, you certainly
look like a second story.
But you're on the streets,
you know what's going down.
Are you listening to me?
- Sure, I got ears, right.
- Well, then talk to me.
- I don't know anything.
- If you kept those
ears of yours open,
you might hear what's going on.
How about it?
- What's in it for me?
- My undying gratitude.
(laughing)
And I might put in a good
word for you with Vice.
- Okay.
(radio beeping)
- [Woman] Four Adam
30, four Adam 30.
- 30.
- [Woman] Four Adam 30,
a 459 silent at 6490 Palms.
Handle code two.
- I'm on my way.
- Four Adam 16
(mumbles) backing up 30.
(suspenseful music)
- How about cash, you got cash?
(woman groaning)
Huh?
(suspenseful music)
- You're hurting her.
Danny, you are hurting her.
(woman groaning)
- Don't you ever interfere
when I'm working.
- [Woman] Let me go.
(woman groaning)
Oh my god, the police.
(suspenseful music)
- Go around back.
(door creaking)
Four Adam 30, requesting
an RA unit at my location.
(dramatic music)
(gunshots firing)
(car screeching)
(dramatic music)
(engine revving)
(siren ringing)
Four Adam 30, give me
an ETA on that ambulance.
(siren ringing)
- Four Adam 16 in pursuit,
heading east on 6th Street.
Two suspects are
driving a silver sedan.
(engine revving)
(cars screeching)
(siren ringing)
(car horn honking)
(car screeching)
- Stacy, Stacy.
Stacy.
(dramatic music)
(car exploding)
(dramatic music)
- Jim, I could
still be in there.
- I know, I know.
(dramatic music) (fire burning)
- There's no sign of concussion.
You'll have a sore head
for a couple of days,
but that should be it.
- You are lucky, you
are one lucky girl.
- Thanks to Jim.
- Hey I do it for
all my partners.
- What about the woman
who got hurt in the burglary?
- She's unconscious
but she's gonna make it.
- I'm okay.
- Take her Jim, lock
her up for the night.
- Sure thing.
- I'll check with you later.
You get a good night sleep.
(dramatic music)
- Jim, you said you
were gonna leave
after I got to sleep.
That was two hours
ago, have you slept any?
- You know me,
the original night owl.
- I'm okay, quit worrying.
- Yeah I know.
It's just that I keep
seeing the car blowing up
and thinking what
could have happened.
- I've thought about
that too. Thank you, Jim.
(dramatic music)
- They want you
out in the streets.
I'll make this short and sweet.
We've got in a woman in a coma.
She apparently walked
in a middle of a burglary.
And we have 11 unsolved
cases in the same area.
Two suspects, a man and a
woman. You got the description.
Hi Stacy.
- Good to see you Stacy.
- Thanks.
- Okay, the MO's the
same on all the crimes.
They hit when no one's
home, both day or night.
The alarms are usually
disconnected or circumvented.
An entry is made through
cutout window blinds.
We're also running a check on
the alarm company's personnel.
- Meantime, check your
street sources to see
if anybody's fencing.
Expensive merchandise,
stereos, silver, jewelry.
- One more thing, these
people are dangerous.
Don't forget that.
Now, if you get a
lead, let us know.
Don't move in on your own.
- Okay that's it,
hit the streets.
- You know what.
- Jim.
- What were you gonna say?
- I was gonna say that one
of us better say something.
- Yeah.
- So.
- Go ahead, you go first.
- Well, I'm sort of confused
about last night, about us.
(radio beeping)
- [Woman] Four Adam 16,
meet four Adam 30 on tap two.
- Four Adam 16.
- I just got off the
landline with the lieutenant.
Most of the houses ripped
off from those burglaries
have the same
security system installed,
by the Safety Plus
Security Company.
- Coincidence?
- I don't know but that's
what I'm gonna find out.
I'll be in touch
when I'm through.
- Roger and out.
(suspenseful music)
- Take the upstairs.
(suspenseful music)
- Mrs. Dryer, are you home?
Mrs. Dryer?
(gunshot firing)
(suspenseful music)
- He's dead.
- It was him or me.
Come on, come on.
- You killed him.
- Come on, move it.
- There is not a thing out
of the ordinary, Sgt. Hooker.
Everyone who
works here is bonded.
All applicants must have
four quality references.
In this business,
reputation is everything.
- In my business,
results are the only thing.
I'd like to talk to some of
your people, Mr. Haines.
- I have shown you
the personnel files.
Now is that all that's required?
- I want more.
- If you're insinuating that
I'm covering something up.
- I can come back
with a court order
if you wish, Mr. Haines.
- You knew I had something
to tell you, didn't you?
I could tell.
- You'd make quite a detective.
- I almost was, I
couldn't pass the exam.
They're like ostriches in there.
If they didn't see it
happen, it didn't happen.
- But you keep
your eyes open, Mr...
- Genesee.
About six months ago,
we had a guy working here,
Marcus Douglas.
I caught him one night going
through the customer files.
Now, there's no
reason for him to do that.
It wasn't his job.
- What happened to
this Marcus Douglas?
- He worked here about a
month and just up and quick.
No point in checking out
his address. I already did.
It's phony.
- You do good work, Mr. Genesee.
(radio beeping)
- [Woman] All units in the
vicinity and four Adam 30,
shots being fired
at 922 Gold Way.
Four A 30, your
call is code three.
(siren ringing)
- You said you were hungry.
- I thought I was.
- Yeah, me too.
- What are you thinking of?
- We got to talk about us.
I don't know where
to start or what to say.
- I know. I'm confused too.
- Maybe it was your
almost being killed last night.
- Maybe, but one
thing I'm sure of.
I don't want this feeling to
affect our working together.
- Hey, nothing
would ever do that.
Hooker asked me if everything
was okay between us.
- One kiss and that's obvious.
- Maybe it's what comes next.
(radio beeping)
- [Woman] Four Adam 16, come in.
(car screeching)
- (Mumbles), they're
empty cartridges.
You two picked a hell
of a time to take a break.
- Sorry, what do you got so far?
- Same MO as the
other burglaries.
Only if this is our
burglary team,
they just graduated
to the major leagues.
Killers now.
Bullet to the heart.
- Did you find a gun?
- But judging by the
size of the wound,
it's either a .38 caliber
or a nine millimeter.
- Hey, Hooker, take a look.
It's another Safety
Plus protected house.
What's that do to your theory?
- That's a good question.
Let's finish up here.
Jim, I want everything.
Make sure they dust the
entrance door, the room, everything.
Go to it.
Stacy, talk to the
neighbors, dig.
(dramatic music)
- We'll be five
(mumbles), not bad.
(dish breaking)
What the hell is wrong with you?
- I don't want any of the
money, Danny, it's blood money.
- It was self defense.
- It was murder. You
didn't have to kill him.
I want out. No more.
- Maybe I ought to kick
some sense into you.
What do you say?
- Well, you can't
do that, Danny.
- Why not?
- Because you'll be killing
your own child, that's why.
- You're saying you're pregnant.
- Yes, damn you, I'm pregnant.
- You figured a way.
Your way to trap me
into doing what you want.
Well, it won't work,
baby. Nothing changes.
Only now, you open your
mouth about taking off,
you run off, I'll find you.
And I know how to
hurt you most, got it.
(dramatic music)
- Downtown's been
getting a lot of phone calls
from influential
citizens who don't like
their houses burglarized.
Any answers?
- Nom the computer
is working its way
through the Safety
Plus client list right now.
- That list has over
1,200 customers on it.
- Yeah, but we
deleted all the houses
with live-in domestics,
that didn't fit the MO.
- Same with those
with guard dogs.
- Every house with a series
has a simple alarm system,
that'd be set off by
opening a door or a window.
They got in by
cutting into the glass.
- And Marcus Douglas?
- His address was a vacant
lot. We're working on it.
- After eliminations, we have
five houses in the same area
that fit the MO potential.
- Okay, ride hard on those
houses for a new nights.
- There's just one problem.
The last house wasn't
serviced by Safety Plus.
- That's right.
But the owner switched
to Diamond last month.
Before that, he
was still Safety Plus.
It still works.
Four Adam 30, four Adam
16, meet me on tag two.
- Four Adam 16, over.
- [Hooker] I'm at 38 Huntington
Street, report of a prowler.
Where are you?
- Three blocks
east. We're rolling.
- I'll be around back.
(dramatic music)
Stacy, stay be the door.
Jim, you come.
(dramatic music)
(cat meowing)
- What are you doing?
(gunshot firing)
Hooker.
(cat meowing)
(dramatic music)
Hooker.
(dramatic music)
- In there. I'm
alright (mumbles).
- They're going out the front.
- Go.
(suspenseful music)
(car screeching)
(rock music)
(siren ringing)
(engine revving)
- There, it's them.
(siren ringing)
- Four Adam 16, we're
in pursuit of 459 suspects,
shots been fired,
vehicle is a red coupe,
north bound on Huntington.
(siren ringing)
(car screeching)
(rock music)
(siren ringing)
- Look out!
(car horn honking)
(loud crashing)
(electricity sparking)
(siren ringing)
(dramatic music)
- Better get a hold of Hooker.
- Yeah, that's the
least we can do.
(phone ringing)
(door closing)
- Ah, Mr. Bailey.
DA, has a charge
of burglary he wants
to file against you, and
maybe an accomplice to murder.
If you cooperate,
maybe I can help you.
- What kind of cooperation?
- He wants your husband.
He is your husband?
- Yes.
- He's not at your home address.
Where is he?
- Sorry, I can't help you.
- You're trying to protect
him, I could understand...
- Protect him (laughs).
Oh my god, that's funny.
Oh god (crying)
- Alright, alright.
Here, take her back.
Make sure the doctor sees her.
(phone ringing)
She was scared, she won't talk.
- She's obviously
protecting the guy.
- Yeah.
Who were you
protecting last night?
- I made a mistake, I'm sorry.
- It's my fault as
much as us, Hooker.
- You're right.
That's why I'm splitting
the two of you up as a team.
Lieutenant O'Brien agrees.
- Come on Hooker, Stacy
and I have been a team
for two years.
- And a damn good
one until last night.
Look, you work
together 18 hours a day.
Your partner
becomes like family.
Sometimes they become
more important than the job.
That's where I think the
two of you are at right now.
- So what happens?
- When you two get your
minds back on working
together effectively
as police officers,
I'll reassess the situation.
In the meantime, your new
partner is named Pat Williamson.
Stacy, you work with me.
Come on Stacy, lighten
up, it's not so bad.
I buy all the coffee.
- It's why I'm here.
I blew it, I feel lousy.
- Alright, it happened.
The two of you are
getting a little distance now,
that's all.
- I hope that's all.
- So do I, Stacy.
- You Corrigan?
- That's me.
- Pat Williamson,
we're working together.
- I'm sorry. You caught
me a little off guard.
- No problem, it
happens all the time.
They hear the name Pat
Williamson, they expect a man.
- The same thing always
happens to my partner,
my ex-partner,
she's a woman too.
Always bothered her,
didn't like to be stereotyped.
- Me either.
- I think we'll get along fine.
- You ready to work?
- Yeah.
You changed precincts
because you wanted to, Pat?
- Yeah, conflict of interests.
My boyfriend became
supervising officer
and it changed things.
- A lot of precinct
gossip, right.
- No, I left before it started.
Now, we'll see what we see.
You understand
what I'm talking about.
- Yeah, you'd be surprised.
(radio beeping)
- [Woman] Four Adam 30,
switch to tap two for a message.
- Hooker.
- [Lola] It's me Lola.
- Hey, I use to know
somebody by that name.
She was gonna do
something for me.
- Yeah, well I did it.
I got a name for you.
- I'm listening.
- [Lola] Ray Kincaid.
- An old friend of mine.
He helps wires cars
and sells them in Mexico.
- Not anymore, he moves
a lot of stolen goods now.
He hangs around
Eastern and the Boulevard.
Word is he's kind of
dealing with a kind of dude
you're looking for.
- I'll say hello for you.
- Don't bother, but
there is one thing.
Remember when you said
you'd put in a good word
for me with Vice.
Talk to (mumbles), Hooker.
- Take a look at it.
Gold watch man, gold watch?
- That's Kincaid.
Kincaid.
- Oh not you again,
Hooker, I'm clean man.
- Sure you are.
- You see this, you
see what he's doing.
That's police brutality.
- I don't see anything.
- Where do you get
your merchandise?
- Hey man, I buy it
off lots of people, man.
- Hey.
I checked this
merchandise out, and it ties
to a certain robbery.
You're in for accomplice
to murder, you read me.
- I don't know nothing
about that, Hooker
I just petal stuff man.
- Give me a name.
- No.
- Give me a name.
- Look at me, Hooker.
- You're in the slammer.
- Douglas.
Marcus Douglas.
- Marcus Douglas again.
- That ties in with
his job at Safety Plus.
- Furnishes the alarm
layout, setups the houses,
and fences the stuff himself.
- Full service fence.
- Let's someone
else take the risk.
- I think it's about time
we have another talk
with Stephanie Bailey.
Check that, you have a
talk with Stephanie Bailey,
woman to woman.
(car engine revving)
- Stephanie, we went
to your apartment
and talked to your
landlady today.
She told us a lot
about your husband
and the way he treats you.
You don't have to be
afraid of him anymore.
We'll protect you.
- You don't understand.
- I do understand. You're
afraid for your baby.
The only way you'll be
safe from him is if you'll
help us put him where
he belongs, in prison.
- I told you the truth. I
don't know where he is.
- Alright, then let's talk
about Marcus Douglas.
- [Stephanie] You
know about him?
- Sets up houses for you
and then sells the goods.
- We had dinner
once at his apartment.
Was on the corner of
Melton and Western.
(dramatic music)
(suspenseful music)
(loud knocking)
- Open up, police.
Ah. (suspenseful music)
(gunshots firing)
Call for back up.
- Four Adam 30, requesting
a backup unit at 617 Melton.
(dramatic music)
- Hold it.
(gunshot firing)
(dramatic music)
- There goes our
Danny Bailey connection.
We're back to square one.
- Not necessarily.
If Ray Kincaid bought
stuff off of Danny,
so did a lot of others.
There's a regular thieves
market down at the docks.
I'm gonna bring Corrigan
and his new partner in
and see what they can dig up.
They know my face down there.
(dramatic music)
- Forget this junk.
Flea market.
I need good stuff for my buyers.
- [Man] Sorry man,
this is all I got right now.
- Well, who do I talk
to, to get something
with a little class, expensive?
- Now come on sugar, now I
know you can do better than that.
- How much are
you willing to pay?
- [Man] Pay whatever it is, man.
- Hey, you get it, and my
man here, he'll meet your price.
You just make sure it's quality
merchandise, you hear me?
- Yeah, well if you got
the money, then maybe
I know somebody, honey.
- Come here, pal.
You'll call me soon, I go
somewhere else, okay.
See you around.
- You jealous?
- Me, of what?
- Somebody else
is working with Jim.
- Maybe, maybe I am.
I just feel like
she's doing my job.
Does that make sense?
- It does to me. You
and Jim were a team.
You put your lives on the
line for each other everyday.
But there's a line
you can't step over.
- So we stepped over
that line and you got hurt.
You'll never
forgive us for that.
- Look, you and Jim are
attracted to each other.
It's natural.
But you're in the
one job in the world
where it won't work.
How'd it go in the docks?
- We got a nibble. Now
we're waiting for a phone call.
- You two met?
Officer Williamson,
Officer Sheraton.
- Hi.
- What now, Hooker?
- Just like always,
we keep at it.
- That's right.
Well.
- She a good cop?
- Not bad.
Not as good as some
others I work with, but not bad.
Nah, she's pretty good.
Not bad.
Nah, she's good.
Not bad.
(loud knocking)
(whistling)
- Hi Jim, I'm sorry
to bother you.
- Hey, no problem.
Come in, come in.
- About this thing between us.
We've got to settle it
one way or the other.
- Yeah, how do we do that?
- Maybe by looking
at what it really is
rather than what
we made it into to.
- You mean, the car
crash, pulling you out.
- You saving my life.
That's what really
changed us, right.
I mean, if it had been Hooker
you saved instead of me,
just plain a cop, understand.
Not just a cop who
happened to be your partner
and also a woman.
- Hey, what have you
gone sexist on me?
- Maybe we both went sexist.
- Yeah.
I think maybe you're right.
- What I really miss
is our partnership.
You and me working together.
I just want us back
the way we were.
- That's the way you feel?
- That's the way it's gotta be.
- Yeah. I want that too.
Now what do we do about it?
- Find a way to convince Hooker.
(phone ringing)
- Yeah, yeah.
I'm listening.
Hey, if it's really
good quality, sure.
Same warehouse, you got it.
Some woman, picking up in
that contact I made at the docks.
To buy stolen goods.
- You want me
to call Pat for you?
- No, let her sleep.
We worked all night.
- Well, then I'll go with you.
- Are you kidding?
You want Hooker
to have our heads?
Excuse me, I gotta
finish dressing.
(dramatic music)
- Where's that famous
Sheraton morning bounce?
- I'm working on it.
(radio beeping)
- [Woman] Four Adam 30,
Lieutenant O'Brien is on tap two.
- Four Adam 30.
- Thought you ought to
know that Stephanie Bailey
was bailed out
about a half hour ago.
- How could that happen?
- At her arraignment this
morning, the DA only filed
on the burglary
charges, and the judge
said he had to set
a reasonable bail.
- Nobody would bail her
out except for husband.
- I know. Sorry Hooker, I'm out.
- Hooker, figures, the call.
- What call?
- The one that Jim just got.
He said it was from
a woman at the docks
responding to his contact.
He's on his way to meet her now.
It's got to be Stephanie Bailey.
- That's good thinking.
- Hooker, she'll recognize
him from the station.
(suspenseful music)
- [Stephanie] You the buyer?
You the buyer?
- [Jim] Yeah.
- We've got some
merchandise outside in the car.
I know you're a cop.
- You got to help me.
It's a chance to get out.
- I can't, he's outside.
He'll know everything.
(suspenseful music)
- Why are you so nervous?
- No reason.
- He's a cop isn't he, huh?
Yeah, yeah (laughs).
What you think, I don't
know this woman, cop?
Now move out. Come on, outside.
(dramatic music)
(loud thumping)
(car engine revving)
Come on.
- I can't.
- Then stay here.
(car screeching)
(siren ringing)
(car screeching)
(rock music)
(car screeching)
(truck horn honking)
(car screeching)
(car horn honking)
(siren ringing)
(car screeching)
(cans crashing)
(car screeching)
(siren ringing) (rock music)
(siren ringing)
(water splashing)
(car screeching)
(dramatic music)
(water splashing)
- You Bailey, hold it.
(gunshots firing)
(dramatic music)
- I owe you one.
- No you don't. We're even now.
(easy listening music)
- Can I wear this
at the precinct?
- Yeah, go with your eyes.
(laughing)
- They're making
the uniforms with that.
- Yeah, a pink uniform.
So what's going to
happen with Stephanie?
- She gets battered wife
counseling a reduced sentence
if she testifies with the state.
- And Danny?
- By the time Danny
gets out, he'll be too old
to bother anybody.
A toast to your
official reunion.
- Partner.
- (Chuckles) Partner.
- And here's to Pat, to
the partner that got away.
- Pat's a good cop
and a terrific partner.
- Well, you've always
been lucky, Jim.
- And so have you, Stacy.
(easy listening music)
(dramatic music)
(orchestra music)
(suspenseful music)
- Beautiful, here,
this is exclusive.
- Okay, okay, I'm done.
Let's get out of here.
- Yeah, after we do upstairs.
- Oh Danny, Marcus only
gave us the alarm (mumbles)
for this part of the house.
- So we'll be careful, come on.
- Danny, Danny.
- Come on, come on.
- [Woman] No.
- We need a gold (mumbles).
(suspenseful music)
Somebody's coming.
(suspenseful music)
Welcome to the party.
- Hey, Lola.
Lola.
How's business, baby?
- Lousy.
It's not gonna get better
with me talking to you, Hooker.
- Well, let's cut it short.
I'm doing for somebody
doing in business in furs,
silverware, jewelry,
expensive things.
- Come on baby, do I look
like your second story, man.
- No, you certainly
look like a second story.
But you're on the streets,
you know what's going down.
Are you listening to me?
- Sure, I got ears, right.
- Well, then talk to me.
- I don't know anything.
- If you kept those
ears of yours open,
you might hear what's going on.
How about it?
- What's in it for me?
- My undying gratitude.
(laughing)
And I might put in a good
word for you with Vice.
- Okay.
(radio beeping)
- [Woman] Four Adam
30, four Adam 30.
- 30.
- [Woman] Four Adam 30,
a 459 silent at 6490 Palms.
Handle code two.
- I'm on my way.
- Four Adam 16
(mumbles) backing up 30.
(suspenseful music)
- How about cash, you got cash?
(woman groaning)
Huh?
(suspenseful music)
- You're hurting her.
Danny, you are hurting her.
(woman groaning)
- Don't you ever interfere
when I'm working.
- [Woman] Let me go.
(woman groaning)
Oh my god, the police.
(suspenseful music)
- Go around back.
(door creaking)
Four Adam 30, requesting
an RA unit at my location.
(dramatic music)
(gunshots firing)
(car screeching)
(dramatic music)
(engine revving)
(siren ringing)
Four Adam 30, give me
an ETA on that ambulance.
(siren ringing)
- Four Adam 16 in pursuit,
heading east on 6th Street.
Two suspects are
driving a silver sedan.
(engine revving)
(cars screeching)
(siren ringing)
(car horn honking)
(car screeching)

Stacy.
(dramatic music)
(car exploding)
(dramatic music)
- Jim, I could
still be in there.
- I know, I know.
(dramatic music) (fire burning)
- There's no sign of concussion.
You'll have a sore head
for a couple of days,
but that should be it.
- You are lucky, you
are one lucky girl.
- Thanks to Jim.
- Hey I do it for
all my partners.
- What about the woman
who got hurt in the burglary?
- She's unconscious
but she's gonna make it.
- I'm okay.
- Take her Jim, lock
her up for the night.
- Sure thing.
- I'll check with you later.
You get a good night sleep.
(dramatic music)
- Jim, you said you
were gonna leave
after I got to sleep.
That was two hours
ago, have you slept any?
- You know me,
the original night owl.
- I'm okay, quit worrying.
- Yeah I know.
It's just that I keep
seeing the car blowing up
and thinking what
could have happened.
- I've thought about
that too. Thank you, Jim.
(dramatic music)
- They want you
out in the streets.
I'll make this short and sweet.
We've got in a woman in a coma.
She apparently walked
in a middle of a burglary.
And we have 11 unsolved
cases in the same area.
Two suspects, a man and a
woman. You got the description.
Hi Stacy.
- Good to see you Stacy.
- Thanks.
- Okay, the MO's the
same on all the crimes.
They hit when no one's
home, both day or night.
The alarms are usually
disconnected or circumvented.
An entry is made through
cutout window blinds.
We're also running a check on
the alarm company's personnel.
- Meantime, check your
street sources to see
if anybody's fencing.
Expensive merchandise,
stereos, silver, jewelry.
- One more thing, these
people are dangerous.
Don't forget that.
Now, if you get a
lead, let us know.
Don't move in on your own.
- Okay that's it,
hit the streets.
- You know what.
- Jim.
- What were you gonna say?
- I was gonna say that one
of us better say something.
- Yeah.
- So.
- Go ahead, you go first.
- Well, I'm sort of confused
about last night, about us.
(radio beeping)
- [Woman] Four Adam 16,
meet four Adam 30 on tap two.
- Four Adam 16.
- I just got off the
landline with the lieutenant.
Most of the houses ripped
off from those burglaries
have the same
security system installed,
by the Safety Plus
Security Company.
- Coincidence?
- I don't know but that's
what I'm gonna find out.
I'll be in touch
when I'm through.
- Roger and out.
(suspenseful music)
- Take the upstairs.
(suspenseful music)
- Mrs. Dryer, are you home?
Mrs. Dryer?
(gunshot firing)
(suspenseful music)
- He's dead.
- It was him or me.
Come on, come on.
- You killed him.
- Come on, move it.
- There is not a thing out
of the ordinary, Sgt. Hooker.
Everyone who
works here is bonded.
All applicants must have
four quality references.
In this business,
reputation is everything.
- In my business,
results are the only thing.
I'd like to talk to some of
your people, Mr. Haines.
- I have shown you
the personnel files.
Now is that all that's required?
- I want more.
- If you're insinuating that
I'm covering something up.
- I can come back
with a court order
if you wish, Mr. Haines.
- You knew I had something
to tell you, didn't you?
I could tell.
- You'd make quite a detective.
- I almost was, I
couldn't pass the exam.
They're like ostriches in there.
If they didn't see it
happen, it didn't happen.
- But you keep
your eyes open, Mr...
- Genesee.
About six months ago,
we had a guy working here,
Marcus Douglas.
I caught him one night going
through the customer files.
Now, there's no
reason for him to do that.
It wasn't his job.
- What happened to
this Marcus Douglas?
- He worked here about a
month and just up and quick.
No point in checking out
his address. I already did.
It's phony.
- You do good work, Mr. Genesee.
(radio beeping)
- [Woman] All units in the
vicinity and four Adam 30,
shots being fired
at 922 Gold Way.
Four A 30, your
call is code three.
(siren ringing)
- You said you were hungry.
- I thought I was.
- Yeah, me too.
- What are you thinking of?
- We got to talk about us.
I don't know where
to start or what to say.
- I know. I'm confused too.
- Maybe it was your
almost being killed last night.
- Maybe, but one
thing I'm sure of.
I don't want this feeling to
affect our working together.
- Hey, nothing
would ever do that.
Hooker asked me if everything
was okay between us.
- One kiss and that's obvious.
- Maybe it's what comes next.
(radio beeping)
- [Woman] Four Adam 16, come in.
(car screeching)
- (Mumbles), they're
empty cartridges.
You two picked a hell
of a time to take a break.
- Sorry, what do you got so far?
- Same MO as the
other burglaries.
Only if this is our
burglary team,
they just graduated
to the major leagues.
Killers now.
Bullet to the heart.
- Did you find a gun?
- But judging by the
size of the wound,
it's either a .38 caliber
or a nine millimeter.
- Hey, Hooker, take a look.
It's another Safety
Plus protected house.
What's that do to your theory?
- That's a good question.
Let's finish up here.
Jim, I want everything.
Make sure they dust the
entrance door, the room, everything.
Go to it.
Stacy, talk to the
neighbors, dig.
(dramatic music)
- We'll be five
(mumbles), not bad.
(dish breaking)
What the hell is wrong with you?
- I don't want any of the
money, Danny, it's blood money.
- It was self defense.
- It was murder. You
didn't have to kill him.
I want out. No more.
- Maybe I ought to kick
some sense into you.
What do you say?
- Well, you can't
do that, Danny.
- Why not?
- Because you'll be killing
your own child, that's why.
- You're saying you're pregnant.
- Yes, damn you, I'm pregnant.
- You figured a way.
Your way to trap me
into doing what you want.
Well, it won't work,
baby. Nothing changes.
Only now, you open your
mouth about taking off,
you run off, I'll find you.
And I know how to
hurt you most, got it.
(dramatic music)
- Downtown's been
getting a lot of phone calls
from influential
citizens who don't like
their houses burglarized.
Any answers?
- Nom the computer
is working its way
through the Safety
Plus client list right now.
- That list has over
1,200 customers on it.
- Yeah, but we
deleted all the houses
with live-in domestics,
that didn't fit the MO.
- Same with those
with guard dogs.
- Every house with a series
has a simple alarm system,
that'd be set off by
opening a door or a window.
They got in by
cutting into the glass.
- And Marcus Douglas?
- His address was a vacant
lot. We're working on it.
- After eliminations, we have
five houses in the same area
that fit the MO potential.
- Okay, ride hard on those
houses for a new nights.
- There's just one problem.
The last house wasn't
serviced by Safety Plus.
- That's right.
But the owner switched
to Diamond last month.
Before that, he
was still Safety Plus.
It still works.
Four Adam 30, four Adam
16, meet me on tag two.
- Four Adam 16, over.
- [Hooker] I'm at 38 Huntington
Street, report of a prowler.
Where are you?
- Three blocks
east. We're rolling.
- I'll be around back.
(dramatic music)
Stacy, stay be the door.
Jim, you come.
(dramatic music)
(cat meowing)
- What are you doing?
(gunshot firing)
Hooker.
(cat meowing)
(dramatic music)
Hooker.
(dramatic music)
- In there. I'm
alright (mumbles).
- They're going out the front.
- Go.
(suspenseful music)
(car screeching)
(rock music)
(siren ringing)
(engine revving)
- There, it's them.
(siren ringing)
- Four Adam 16, we're
in pursuit of 459 suspects,
shots been fired,
vehicle is a red coupe,
north bound on Huntington.
(siren ringing)
(car screeching)
(rock music)
(siren ringing)
- Look out!
(car horn honking)
(loud crashing)
(electricity sparking)
(siren ringing)
(dramatic music)
- Better get a hold of Hooker.
- Yeah, that's the
least we can do.
(phone ringing)
(door closing)
- Ah, Mr. Bailey.
DA, has a charge
of burglary he wants
to file against you, and
maybe an accomplice to murder.
If you cooperate,
maybe I can help you.
- What kind of cooperation?
- He wants your husband.
He is your husband?
- Yes.
- He's not at your home address.
Where is he?
- Sorry, I can't help you.
- You're trying to protect
him, I could understand...
- Protect him (laughs).
Oh my god, that's funny.
Oh god (crying)
- Alright, alright.
Here, take her back.
Make sure the doctor sees her.
(phone ringing)
She was scared, she won't talk.
- She's obviously
protecting the guy.
- Yeah.
Who were you
protecting last night?
- I made a mistake, I'm sorry.
- It's my fault as
much as us, Hooker.
- You're right.
That's why I'm splitting
the two of you up as a team.
Lieutenant O'Brien agrees.
- Come on Hooker, Stacy
and I have been a team
for two years.
- And a damn good
one until last night.
Look, you work
together 18 hours a day.
Your partner
becomes like family.
Sometimes they become
more important than the job.
That's where I think the
two of you are at right now.
- So what happens?
- When you two get your
minds back on working
together effectively
as police officers,
I'll reassess the situation.
In the meantime, your new
partner is named Pat Williamson.
Stacy, you work with me.
Come on Stacy, lighten
up, it's not so bad.
I buy all the coffee.
- It's why I'm here.
I blew it, I feel lousy.
- Alright, it happened.
The two of you are
getting a little distance now,
that's all.
- I hope that's all.
- So do I, Stacy.
- You Corrigan?
- That's me.
- Pat Williamson,
we're working together.
- I'm sorry. You caught
me a little off guard.
- No problem, it
happens all the time.
They hear the name Pat
Williamson, they expect a man.
- The same thing always
happens to my partner,
my ex-partner,
she's a woman too.
Always bothered her,
didn't like to be stereotyped.
- Me either.
- I think we'll get along fine.
- You ready to work?
- Yeah.
You changed precincts
because you wanted to, Pat?
- Yeah, conflict of interests.
My boyfriend became
supervising officer
and it changed things.
- A lot of precinct
gossip, right.
- No, I left before it started.
Now, we'll see what we see.
You understand
what I'm talking about.
- Yeah, you'd be surprised.
(radio beeping)
- [Woman] Four Adam 30,
switch to tap two for a message.
- Hooker.
- [Lola] It's me Lola.
- Hey, I use to know
somebody by that name.
She was gonna do
something for me.
- Yeah, well I did it.
I got a name for you.
- I'm listening.
- [Lola] Ray Kincaid.
- An old friend of mine.
He helps wires cars
and sells them in Mexico.
- Not anymore, he moves
a lot of stolen goods now.
He hangs around
Eastern and the Boulevard.
Word is he's kind of
dealing with a kind of dude
you're looking for.
- I'll say hello for you.
- Don't bother, but
there is one thing.
Remember when you said
you'd put in a good word
for me with Vice.
Talk to (mumbles), Hooker.
- Take a look at it.
Gold watch man, gold watch?
- That's Kincaid.
Kincaid.
- Oh not you again,
Hooker, I'm clean man.
- Sure you are.
- You see this, you
see what he's doing.
That's police brutality.
- I don't see anything.
- Where do you get
your merchandise?
- Hey man, I buy it
off lots of people, man.
- Hey.
I checked this
merchandise out, and it ties
to a certain robbery.
You're in for accomplice
to murder, you read me.
- I don't know nothing
about that, Hooker
I just petal stuff man.
- Give me a name.
- No.
- Give me a name.
- Look at me, Hooker.
- You're in the slammer.
- Douglas.
Marcus Douglas.
- Marcus Douglas again.
- That ties in with
his job at Safety Plus.
- Furnishes the alarm
layout, setups the houses,
and fences the stuff himself.
- Full service fence.
- Let's someone
else take the risk.
- I think it's about time
we have another talk
with Stephanie Bailey.
Check that, you have a
talk with Stephanie Bailey,
woman to woman.
(car engine revving)
- Stephanie, we went
to your apartment
and talked to your
landlady today.
She told us a lot
about your husband
and the way he treats you.
You don't have to be
afraid of him anymore.
We'll protect you.
- You don't understand.
- I do understand. You're
afraid for your baby.
The only way you'll be
safe from him is if you'll
help us put him where
he belongs, in prison.
- I told you the truth. I
don't know where he is.
- Alright, then let's talk
about Marcus Douglas.
- [Stephanie] You
know about him?
- Sets up houses for you
and then sells the goods.
- We had dinner
once at his apartment.
Was on the corner of
Melton and Western.
(dramatic music)
(suspenseful music)
(loud knocking)
- Open up, police.
Ah. (suspenseful music)
(gunshots firing)
Call for back up.
- Four Adam 30, requesting
a backup unit at 617 Melton.
(dramatic music)
- Hold it.
(gunshot firing)
(dramatic music)
- There goes our
Danny Bailey connection.
We're back to square one.
- Not necessarily.
If Ray Kincaid bought
stuff off of Danny,
so did a lot of others.
There's a regular thieves
market down at the docks.
I'm gonna bring Corrigan
and his new partner in
and see what they can dig up.
They know my face down there.
(dramatic music)
- Forget this junk.
Flea market.
I need good stuff for my buyers.
- [Man] Sorry man,
this is all I got right now.
- Well, who do I talk
to, to get something
with a little class, expensive?
- Now come on sugar, now I
know you can do better than that.
- How much are
you willing to pay?
- [Man] Pay whatever it is, man.
- Hey, you get it, and my
man here, he'll meet your price.
You just make sure it's quality
merchandise, you hear me?
- Yeah, well if you got
the money, then maybe
I know somebody, honey.
- Come here, pal.
You'll call me soon, I go
somewhere else, okay.
See you around.
- You jealous?
- Me, of what?
- Somebody else
is working with Jim.
- Maybe, maybe I am.
I just feel like
she's doing my job.
Does that make sense?
- It does to me. You
and Jim were a team.
You put your lives on the
line for each other everyday.
But there's a line
you can't step over.
- So we stepped over
that line and you got hurt.
You'll never
forgive us for that.
- Look, you and Jim are
attracted to each other.
It's natural.
But you're in the
one job in the world
where it won't work.
How'd it go in the docks?
- We got a nibble. Now
we're waiting for a phone call.
- You two met?
Officer Williamson,
Officer Sheraton.
- Hi.
- What now, Hooker?
- Just like always,
we keep at it.
- That's right.
Well.
- She a good cop?
- Not bad.
Not as good as some
others I work with, but not bad.
Nah, she's pretty good.
Not bad.
Nah, she's good.
Not bad.
(loud knocking)
(whistling)
- Hi Jim, I'm sorry
to bother you.
- Hey, no problem.
Come in, come in.
- About this thing between us.
We've got to settle it
one way or the other.
- Yeah, how do we do that?
- Maybe by looking
at what it really is
rather than what
we made it into to.
- You mean, the car
crash, pulling you out.
- You saving my life.
That's what really
changed us, right.
I mean, if it had been Hooker
you saved instead of me,
just plain a cop, understand.
Not just a cop who
happened to be your partner
and also a woman.
- Hey, what have you
gone sexist on me?
- Maybe we both went sexist.
- Yeah.
I think maybe you're right.
- What I really miss
is our partnership.
You and me working together.
I just want us back
the way we were.
- That's the way you feel?
- That's the way it's gotta be.
- Yeah. I want that too.
Now what do we do about it?
- Find a way to convince Hooker.
(phone ringing)
- Yeah, yeah.
I'm listening.
Hey, if it's really
good quality, sure.
Same warehouse, you got it.
Some woman, picking up in
that contact I made at the docks.
To buy stolen goods.
- You want me
to call Pat for you?
- No, let her sleep.
We worked all night.
- Well, then I'll go with you.
- Are you kidding?
You want Hooker
to have our heads?
Excuse me, I gotta
finish dressing.
(dramatic music)
- Where's that famous
Sheraton morning bounce?
- I'm working on it.
(radio beeping)
- [Woman] Four Adam 30,
Lieutenant O'Brien is on tap two.
- Four Adam 30.
- Thought you ought to
know that Stephanie Bailey
was bailed out
about a half hour ago.
- How could that happen?
- At her arraignment this
morning, the DA only filed
on the burglary
charges, and the judge
said he had to set
a reasonable bail.
- Nobody would bail her
out except for husband.
- I know. Sorry Hooker, I'm out.
- Hooker, figures, the call.
- What call?
- The one that Jim just got.
He said it was from
a woman at the docks
responding to his contact.
He's on his way to meet her now.
It's got to be Stephanie Bailey.
- That's good thinking.
- Hooker, she'll recognize
him from the station.
(suspenseful music)
- [Stephanie] You the buyer?
You the buyer?
- [Jim] Yeah.
- We've got some
merchandise outside in the car.
I know you're a cop.
- You got to help me.
It's a chance to get out.
- I can't, he's outside.
He'll know everything.
(suspenseful music)
- Why are you so nervous?
- No reason.
- He's a cop isn't he, huh?
Yeah, yeah (laughs).
What you think, I don't
know this woman, cop?
Now move out. Come on, outside.
(dramatic music)
(loud thumping)
(car engine revving)
Come on.
- I can't.
- Then stay here.
(car screeching)
(siren ringing)
(car screeching)
(rock music)
(car screeching)
(truck horn honking)
(car screeching)
(car horn honking)

(car screeching)
(cans crashing)
(car screeching)
(siren ringing) (rock music)
(siren ringing)
(water splashing)
(car screeching)
(dramatic music)
(water splashing)
- You Bailey, hold it.
(gunshots firing)
(dramatic music)
- I owe you one.
- No you don't. We're even now.
(easy listening music)
- Can I wear this
at the precinct?
- Yeah, go with your eyes.
(laughing)
- They're making
the uniforms with that.
- Yeah, a pink uniform.
So what's going to
happen with Stephanie?
- She gets battered wife
counseling a reduced sentence
if she testifies with the state.
- And Danny?
- By the time Danny
gets out, he'll be too old
to bother anybody.
A toast to your
official reunion.
- Partner.
- (Chuckles) Partner.
- And here's to Pat, to
the partner that got away.
- Pat's a good cop
and a terrific partner.
- Well, you've always
been lucky, Jim.
- And so have you, Stacy.
(easy listening music)
(dramatic music)
(orchestra music)
