T.J. Hooker (1982–1986): Season 5, Episode 17 - Into the Night - full transcript
Hooker crosses the mob and the FBI while investigating a robbery where a former police officer is shot.
(exciting music)
(sighs)
- One lukewarm chili dog.
One coffee black.
- Okay.
- One new toothbrush
and one bottle of
stomach antacid.
- That's what I need.
- Looks like you're set for a
real swinging evening, Hooker.
Anything yet?
- None.
Just got a room down the street.
His car's parked around
the corner in a garage.
When he comes out of that joint,
I'm going to tail him and see
if he takes me
any place exciting.
- What the hell are you doing
staked out on your
day off anyway?
- If I'm not here
where else will I be?
- Look at you.
You're tearing up your
stomach eating junk.
Working nights when
you don't even have to.
You're a mess, you know that?
- What's wrong with nights?
I like nights.
- This guy you're waiting
on, is he a hitman?
- Imported from Detroit
to dust somebody
according to one of my snitches.
- Who's the contract out on?
- Something to
do with a big heist.
I don't know who's being hit
and I don't know
what's being heisted,
but I don't like my
streets being dirty.
- Yeah, tell me
something new huh?
Well, I'm due back on duty.
- You got the best
legs on the force, kid.
Why don't you get out of
vice and into something safe?
- Think about getting married
sometime, having babies,
even having 'em with you.
- Babies?
I'm pretty good with babies.
One out of two's not bad.
- You know you make
the job your wife Hooker,
someday you're gonna wake up
and discover you
married a whore.
- I'll take it under advisement.
You wouldn't force an alcoholic
to take a drink would you?
- Yeah well, I just think you're
a real reclamation
project, Hooker
and I'm the lady
who's on the case, ow!
(suspenseful music)
- Police, everybody down!
(gunfire)
(screaming)
- Touch that brake,
and I'll blow you away.
Hey, hey you down there, cop!
You back off ya hear?
- Put the gun down
before you have
real trouble on your hands.
- You're not gonna fire,
'cause this pretty little girl's
gonna be hamburger
if you even twitch.
- Let the girl go
and you're clean!
Tell that bus driver
to stop and you walk.
(gunfire)
Who were you sent to kill?
Whose name is on the contract?
- You figure it smart
guy, you figure it.
- Come on Dupree, your
ticket's already canceled.
Why don't you go
out with a good deed?
Tell me about the heist,
and who's gonna be hit.
- I can use that information,
so call me as soon
as you get it, thanks.
Hey somebody die and
leave you some money?
- It's from Steven Kennedy.
He says he's learned how
to use a word processor.
And that it's not as easy
as playing the piano,
but he's betting he
has less typos than I do.
- My money's on Steven.
If you used the gun
the way you type
he would have been
dead last Christmas.
- [Stacy] Anyway, he just
finished his last quarter
at grad school and is
going to be coming out
to stay with Bill at the beach.
- Oh yeah how's Bill doing?
What's he up to?
- [Stacy] Still
working security.
- Happy at it?
- [Stacy] I guess, why?
- Once a cop sometimes
it's hard to play toy soldier.
Hey Hooker, captain
Danza's been looking for you.
- Fire in his eyes.
Have anything to do
with last night's shooting?
- How do I know?
What am I a mindreader?
- Oh beautiful, you're gonna
be fun to be around today.
You get any sleep?
- Slept like a baby.
Until somebody wanted
to use the pool table
and asked me to leave.
The deceased's name
is Angelo Dupree.
Ever hear of him?
- No, should I have?
- I'm having R&I do a run,
but one of my snitches tells me
that he's a button man
brought in from Detroit
to plug a leak and something
big is going down around it,
like a sizable heist.
- Button man, we
talking mob hit?
- Bet on it.
And just because
I got the shooter
doesn't mean that the
contract isn't gonna go down
with somebody else
behind the trigger.
- What about his
personal effects?
Anything that might
take you in that direction?
- We searched him and his room
and there was nothing,
no telephone number,
no address, nothing to go on.
And we impounded the
car he rented from Detroit.
- So maybe there will
be something there.
- Maybe.
- Hooker.
Where were you two
last night while Hooker
was trotting around
shooting up the city?
- They were off duty captain.
- And so were you.
What are you a
maniac, shooting up
a bus crowded with citizens?
- There were extenuating
circumstances,
in my report on
your desk in triplicate.
- In my office, Hooker, now.
- You know you could learn to be
a tad more diplomatic with him.
- I'm taking up needlepoint,
I can only concentrate
on one thing at a time.
- You realize how much heat
is going to come
down from this one?
Calls from the chief, the mayor.
What do I tell
them when they ask
why you were indiscriminately
blasting away in a crowd?
- It was a hostage
situation, I did what I could.
- I've been checking
your file, Hooker.
You're making half the
busts you should be making.
- Busts?
I'll make all the busts you
want to raise your numbers.
There's a difference
between numbers and justice.
- Look who are we kidding here?
You were on that bus because
one of your scuz informants
told you something
was going down.
- I've made more
cases with snitches
than any other way, whatever
works I'm gonna keep doing.
- So you have your own style,
but you depend too much
on the integrity of garbage.
Our job is to get the
scum off the streets,
not try to do it with mirrors.
- I don't need you to
check into this precinct
for 10 minutes
and tell me my job.
- You're already over
the line, friend, way over.
- What happened to you Danza?
You used to be a good cop,
now you're a headquarters guy
trafficking in human
beings and horse manure.
Busting a teenage hooker
or a few guys rolling craps
or some poor junky
with a rusted kit
isn't gonna solve anything
and neither are your
computers or your slide rules.
- And you know how to do it huh?
Nail the big guys,
clean the boulevards,
straighten out the world?
- No I don't know how to do
it any more than the next guy,
but I don't pretend that I do.
- Next time you bring heat down,
I won't protect ya.
Or maybe I'll even bust you.
- If you want my
badge, go for it.
Until then don't tell me my job.
(dramatic music)
- You sure your man inside knows
when to shut off the alarms?
- Yeah my guy
will be on schedule.
- Okay, take care of the gate.
- [Man] That dude
makes me nervous.
- He did set up the inside man.
Don't worry, when
this is all over
he won't be around
to spend his cut.
- All right everybody,
cooperate and nobody gets hurt!
You, move, open the safe.
Everybody down, face
down on the floor, move!
- On the floor, come on!
- So what happened when
Hooker tossed the hitman's rental?
- The car was clean
except for a .44 Magnum,
some hollow points, and
there were some notes
scribbled on the map in
the glove compartment.
The only thing
Hooker could make out
was the name Shelly Martel.
- Could be the intended
victim, but male or female?
And what about the map?
- You mean like was
there an X marking the spot
where the hit was
supposed to go down?
- Or the heist that
Hooker heard about?
- Forget it, unless
Shelly Martel is a bear.
It was a tourist map
to Yellowstone Park.
(beeping)
- [Dispatch] Four out of 30
and any unit in the vicinity
211 in progress south
coast cargo terminal
international airport 19th
and Palmer handle code three.
- Four out of 30, roger.
- Action at the airport.
Let's pick up a couple tickets
to the Caribbean
while we're at it.
- You're on partner.
Four out of 16
rolling back up to 30.
- Okay that's all of it.
- Come on come on come on!
- Oh no, no no don't do it!
(gunfire)
(screaming)
(beeping)
- [Dispatch] Four out of 30 an
airport security
car is en route.
We'll meet you at the terminal.
- Four out of 30, roger.
- Get the gate!
- Airport security,
come on let's go!
Hurry hurry, let's go!
(gunfire)
(booming)
(sirens wailing)
- Black van, late model.
Heading east on 19th Street.
They're armed with
automatic weapons,
not shy about using them
and call for an ambulance.
They smoked one
right over there.
- Four out of 16 need assistance
at south coast cargo terminal.
- Oh my god, it's
Bill, Bill Kennedy.
(dramatic music)
- Zoilas take a hit from that
cop, he ain't gonna get up.
And if he does, he's not gonna
be able to do the job
he was supposed to do.
And Angelo Dupree before him
which is to shut
that chick's mouth
before she spills
chapter and verse.
- Man well did you
ever think that maybe
she won't tell
nobody nothing huh?
- Look, Innis is down
and Dupree is down.
The baby blue spot is on you.
- What are you crazy, huh?
- You're elected,
you pull the trigger.
I'm telling my people
that's how it's coming down.
- All right, then maybe I take
one of these for
insurance huh man?
- I thought we were
gonna split later.
- What am I an animal?
I'm gonna go kill my wife?
- Hey hey hey hey, come on!
Let's get the hell out of here.
- I'll take care of you
another time, later.
- Okay fellas now let's do this
to the count of three all right?
One, two, three, there we go.
Looks like the
liver or the spleen.
Start a second line
with lactated ringers.
Don't deflate the mass suit.
Type and cross 10
units packed cells.
- It'll take 20 minutes.
- Too long get me some plasma.
- Blood pressure 60 over 40.
- Pulse?
- [Woman] 120 and
thready, respiration labored.
- I can't get the IV, get
me a cut down trach stat!
- Okay let's get him intubated,
I'll need a laryngoscope,
an ET tube.
- I can't get a blood pressure.
- He's got a belly full of
blood, notify the OR stat.
(beeping)
(waves crashing, gulls cawing)
- Well you've had
a good workout.
You're blowing like you just
finished the Olympic trials.
- Okay I'm a little
winded, but I didn't mean
to stop up here to get insulted.
Thought I'd check
out your sand castle.
- Well anybody who's turned on
by sand castles
can't be all bad.
- Not only am I
turned on by 'em,
I used to be a champion
at building them.
- Well you sound
like a beach person.
- I had a little shack not too
far from here a few summers ago.
I used to walk this
beach every day at sunset.
- Well then we're
practically neighbors.
My name's Steven Kennedy.
- Stacy Sheridan.
- Pleasure to meet you.
So what do you do besides
steam along the sand at an hour
when decent people
are still asleep?
- I'm a cop.
- Really?
- Turn you off?
- Should it?
- I don't know, I've known a
few gentlemen who was cruel.
- Well I'm actually
very fond of cops.
My mother married one.
- Steve!
- Speak of the devil.
- Are you ready for breakfast?
- Sure!
Dad I'd like you to meet
a new friend of mine.
- Howdy friend, name's Bill.
- Stacy Sheridan.
- LCPD, which precinct?
- Academy.
- I used to work out
on the 18th myself.
Hell of a bunch of guys.
I miss 'em a lot.
Come on in and
join us for breakfast!
Wait'll you taste my pancakes.
- [Man] He's getting cyanotic,
he'll never make it to OR.
- He's started to
throw some PVC.
- Getting any pressure?
- None.
- He's straight lined,
we're losing him.
Pupils fixed and dilated.
- Clear.
(beeping)
Come on, come on.
Come on, come on.
Come on, come on.
(waves crashing)
- I put in 19 years on the force
'til I caught a
slug in the spine
from some freaked
out punk on drugs.
So they shipped me out to
pasture on a disability pension
and I wound up
doing security work
for an outfit downtown.
Not the same as being in
harness, but it pays the rent.
(glass tinkles)
- Be careful you
don't cut yourself.
- Did I just blow it, or
didn't I fool you at all?
- Well I didn't know
down on the beach,
if that's what you mean.
- Well, you've known
some gentlemen
who were turned off by
finding out you were a cop.
I've known some ladies
who took off like rabbits
when they found out I was blind.
Figured I'd get
to know you first
and charm you to death
before you had second thoughts.
- Well I'm finished with
my running for the day.
Why don't I help
you clean this up?
- He didn't deserve that.
Two medals of valor, a
lifetime of being a good guy,
winds up on a slab in a morgue?
While the maggot who shot
him puts a notch on his gun
and brags to his
friends how macho he is.
- Bill?
You sure Steve is
back from school?
- I talked to him this morning.
What do you have on the robbery?
- Easy Stace.
- I just want to get
whoever did this.
- Okay, what do you got?
- Four gunmen,
automatic weapons,
military precision and a
definite inside knowledge
of how the alarm system
at the cargo terminal works.
- Any idea how much they got?
- On the first estimate
it's three million
in cash, diamonds,
and securities.
They knew what they were after
and hit before Brinks
made their regular pickup.
I tell ya when
your street source
told ya a big heist was
going down he wasn't kidding.
- Yeah, and the MO
is similar to the heist
at the San Francisco airport
a couple of months ago.
Any idea on the guy that
I wounded at the scene?
- Nothing, but we'll
have him printed
and run through R&I.
- I want to head
out to the beach,
let Steven know how it happened.
- Okay.
It's almost daylight.
Get out of uniform,
Jim will drive you.
- There's one
other thing, Hooker.
All witnesses swear
Bill Kennedy cooperated,
didn't give the
gunman any trouble.
The one who pulled the trigger
seemed to just blow
him away for no reason.
Almost like an execution.
- Yeah.
We're gonna nail him.
And anybody else who had
anything to do with killing Bill.
I promise you that.
(elevator dings)
(gentle piano music)
- I don't think I
ever told you before,
but I wasn't born blind.
When I was seven I
developed a disease
that gradually
weakened the optic nerve.
One day the
lights just went out.
Dad thought for a
while there might
be a chance for an operation,
but we finally gave up.
- Well he was proud that
you pursued your music.
- He always felt I had talent.
Made me get off my tail
and do something about it.
God.
Somehow after all he
went through on the force,
I guess I always
thought he was immortal.
He was more than
just my father, Stace.
He was my friend.
- He was my friend, too.
I know you don't want
to think about this,
but there are
arrangements to be made.
- There's a will.
He wanted to be cremated.
His ashes scattered out at sea.
What about the
people who killed him?
- Well we don't
have anything solid
on 'em yet, but
we're working on it.
Steven, Hooker
worked with your dad
and they knew
each other for years.
There's no way he's
gonna let this loose
until he shakes
every tree in this city
to find the guy who
pulled the trigger.
(phone rings)
- Corrigan.
- Jim, Hooker.
We got lucky with a quick
ID on the wounded man.
His name is Tony Ennis.
He's got a record,
mostly small time burglary
and he spent some time
as muscle for several unions
and was on parole when he
showed up at the cargo terminal.
- But what about grilling him?
- Well we tried that, but he's
in intensive care
and refuses to talk.
- His parole officer have a
file on known associates?
- She's giving us a list and
we found an address on 'em
but O'Brien sent a team
there and came up with less
than what the parole officer
had with one exception,
they found a phone number
and a name scribbled
on a scrap of paper.
- Do I guess?
- [Hooker] Shelly Martel.
- The phone number?
- A dance studio
on the east side.
The lady's an instructor there
but they wouldn't give out
anything else on the phone.
I want you and Stacy to
track Ennis's known associates
while I find Shelly Martel.
- We'll be on it.
- Got a hot date tonight Shelly?
- Yeah, with a pizza
and a feather comforter.
Catch you girls later.
(suspenseful music)
Can you, what are
you doing here?
(gun fires)
(tires squeal)
- Hang on sweetie and
we'll get you to a hospital.
Somebody call an ambulance.
Are you Shelly Martel?
Who did this to you?
Do you know who did it?
(sirens wail)
She didn't have a chance.
What a waste.
- So the contract
went down on schedule
even without Angelo Dupree.
- And why her if she
was just a dancer?
- People have some kind of ID?
- Who wants to know?
- FBI.
- That the girl's bag?
- Yeah, why?
- We'll take care of it.
- Sergeant Hooker.
Officer Corrigan,
officer Sheridan.
- Okay you people
can move on now.
- [Hooker] What's that
supposed to mean?
- Just like it sounds,
point yourself
in a direction and walk.
No need for reports, we'll
contact your superior to confirm.
- What's the fed's
interest in this?
The girl was iced before
the sheet could be pulled up,
you guys are crawling
out of the woodwork.
- Hooker this isn't a game show.
If we tell you to
disappear, you disappear.
It's as simple as that.
- What the hell is going down?
First a button man from
Detroit, then an airport heist.
- Then the hit goes
down and now?
- I don't know what's going down
but I'm sure as hell
going to find out.
- What about captain Danza?
He'll lay the bricks to you
if you ask for special duty.
- O'Brien will cover for
us long enough to take
a bite out of it, and if we turn
something Danza will
jump on the bandwagon
in time to take a bow
on the six o'clock news.
Salvatore Martel.
- Yeah.
- Hooker, LCPD.
- I already talked to the
cops at the morgue you know?
- Yeah I know you identified
Shelly Martel's body.
I want to ask you a
few more questions.
- Like I said man, I don't
know nothing so why bother?
- [Hooker] She
was your wife right?
- Happens every day.
One more life snuffed
out, so who cares?
- I care, I want to know
who killed her and why.
We think it was a mob
hit, shot by somebody
who wanted her out of
the way for some reason.
- That's crazy.
She didn't know anything that
anybody'd want to kill her for.
- [Hooker] What would she know?
- What?
- I said
somebody wanted her out
of the way for some reason
and you said it was crazy,
that she wouldn't know anything.
What would she know?
- It was a figure of speech.
Listen, truth is we've been
separated since she started
working at that
damn dance studio.
That's all she had on her mind.
That and shoes.
You know I'd be running
someplace uptown
if I had a 20 for every
pair she had in her closet.
- I don't know, seems to me
you got a good thing going here.
I was brought up
on Mulberry Street.
Used to come in
here all the time.
Was a little white haired
guy who used to run the place.
- Yeah?
He's dead, just like
this old neighborhood.
This dump I bought on probate's
the biggest mistake in my life.
That and marrying a dancer.
- Not exactly overwhelmed
with grief are you?
- Listen, she was a gypsy.
She had no morals,
no conscience.
- I was with her when she died.
She seemed like a
sweet, scared kid to me.
- Why don't you give me a break?
I'm paying for the funeral huh?
I got work to do pal.
- Maybe you heard
about the airport heist?
A friend of mine
was killed in it.
By the punks who pulled it.
Some scum,
executed for no reason.
I want him and I think
Shelly's murder ties into it.
- I just run out of answers
for your questions.
I got work to do.
- I'll be back.
- What's that a threat?
- No man that's a promise.
- Hey you can't
talk to me like that
'cause I didn't do
anything wrong.
- Then you have nothing
to worry about right?
(phone rings)
- Yeah?
- [Salvatore] It's
Sal, listen a cop
was just here asking
some more questions.
- So?
What did you tell him?
- [Salvatore] What do you
mean what did I tell him huh?
You think I'm stupid?
I don't like this thing here.
I'm starting to feel the heat.
I think maybe we
should split town huh?
- We stay put.
With you or without you, we
still have to fence that stuff.
But if it's without you,
you're going to have
to do some heavy
explaining to the big boys.
- Look I just meant
for a while you know?
- Get your act
together, Sal baby.
Or you can kiss your
big future goodbye, hear?
- Yeah yeah.
Hey listen you know
I've been thinking
about Bill Kennedy's son.
You know he was on the beach
when we were talking
to Kennedy at the house
and I tell you I
swear a couple times,
I caught him staring at us.
- Don't worry about it okay?
I'll take care of Kennedy's son.
- Yeah, right.
(ominous music)
- We've gone over Tony
Ennis's known associates list
and one of them turns out to be
a penny ante hood
named Sal Martel.
- Shelly Martel's ex.
- [Stacy] I thought we
came up with something.
- You did I just got
there ahead of you.
How's Steve Kennedy?
- With Bill gone he's
having a rough time.
- I made some calls.
Tomorrow we talk
with friend of justice
about the feds who
have been hassling us.
- What's the line
on Shelly Martel?
- How about this?
She was about to
become a protected witness
but she wanted to
make a deal first.
They were negotiating
whether she waited too long.
- Any idea what they were
trying to get out of her?
- Something to do
with the interstate
shipments of stolen property.
- Cargo heists?
- Starts to fit in doesn't it?
- Anything else?
- Just that the real juice
thought she was gonna testify to
had to do with the big heist
that hasn't gone down yet.
- Which was probably
the cargo terminal stickup.
- Where are you going?
- I'm going to find the
snitch who gave me
the original rumble on
Angelo Dupree hitting town.
(horn honking)
- We gotta stop
meeting like this Hooker
or people are going to talk.
- Let 'em, you wired?
- Nah it's turned off.
Those two bozos from ad
vice that I'm working with
are taking a break and I'm
just trying to talk some religion
into these street ladies
who think some pimp
in a gold limo is going to
be their prince Charming.
- I'm looking for Crystal Court.
- She's not hustling
the streets anymore.
Not since she got
herself a sugardaddy
and some catalog
work, lingerie like that.
Anyway that's what she
told me a couple days ago.
- Where can I find her?
(gentle piano music)
- My god Hooker you
scared me to death.
- Would you rather I
dropped by the table?
- You know better than that.
- Crystal.
I need more on that hit that
you said was going down.
- Look, I told you
everything I heard.
I only called you to try to pay
off some of my debt to you.
I'm clean.
I swear!
- A friend of mine was murdered
at that airport
heist, a good friend.
He left a son behind.
Son is blind.
My friend had a lot more
years to spend with that son,
so you tell me about Salvatore
Martel and Shelly Martel.
- Okay look, I overheard
one of my Johns
talking on the
phone about the hit.
But I didn't know who
the target was until
after it went down, but
what I didn't tell you was
that Sal Martel was
supposed to take over the hit
after you took out
the first trigger man.
- Who was your John?
- A guy I've known
on and off for a while.
Name of Manny Jacobs.
He's connected.
- How high up does
that connection go?
- I think Jacobs and
Martel are low level guys
who are sanctioned from above.
- Who put out the
contract on Shelly Martel?
- It could have been
nine different guys.
She just knew things
the mob doesn't want told.
- Maybe like you.
- Look, that's it
Hooker, that's all I know!
Except about the heist.
- What about the heist?
- There was an inside
man, a guy who was
into the loan sharks heavy
over some gambling debts.
- Who?
- Your friend.
The security guard
who was killed.
- Stay away from
people who can hurt you.
I don't want you to end up in
a drawer, wearing a toe tag.
- Hooker?
The security guard's son?
- What about him?
- He's blind.
- That's right.
- [Crystal] They
don't know that.
- What do you mean?
- The guys who pulled the heist.
They think the son saw them.
They think he can identify them.
- Did you reach Stacy?
- She was with Steven
Kennedy at the beach.
I told her to bring him in.
(ominous music)
- Steven!
Steven.
Four out of 16 to control.
We need an ambulance
at 626 Coast Highway.
The doctor's certain
Steven's going to be okay.
He had a slight concussion
and multiple fracture
of the right arm.
- Is there a guard
around his room?
- Yeah, but he doesn't know
why they came after him.
- When can I talk to him?
- No visitors until the morning.
- All right, you get some rest.
Jim and I are going to
go collect some garbage.
- Sal Martel?
- You got it.
- Hooker.
You people know agents
Brodsky and Carpenter don't you?
- Yeah we've met.
- Yeah that's right we have.
Did you get anything
out of Steven Kennedy?
- Who?
- You know Hooker it seems like
this is where we
left off with you.
- If you'll excuse us, captain.
- [Danza] Hold it Hooker.
We're cooperating with
Brodsky and his people.
- That's right, and if you've
got anything you share it.
Like what you found out
from the security guard's son.
- Are you threatening
me Brodsky?
- You can take it
any way you want.
We were on this case before you
stumbled in with two left feet.
- Yeah you were on it all
right, you were on it so good
you got a young girl killed you
should have been protecting.
- Shelly Martel?
She said she had information.
We didn't know whether
it was legit or not.
- Easy enough to check out
if you've been doing your job.
Instead she's dead, a heist
and another murder went down
which you should have stopped,
Shelly Martel knew
names you should have
squeezed out of her right away.
- Indictments are
what we're after,
the top dogs, not some
small chain street hoods.
- Let's go Jim.
Either of you get
in my face again,
you're going to
need a flashlight
and forceps to find your badges.
- Oh watch out!
(gunfire)
- Four X-ray 30 to dispatch,
requesting an ambulance
to the scene at Broad
and sixth, man shot.
(exciting music)
I'm in pursuit of suspects.
Proceeding north on
sixth crossing Grant.
(horns honking)
- The irony is that Steven
Kennedy didn't know anything.
He couldn't implicate anybody.
- Because he
couldn't see the hoods
we nailed meeting
with his father.
Has Steven been
released from the hospital?
- He'll be okay.
- You know his father made
one mistake in his whole life
and it cost him his life.
- Martel is in bad shape,
but I think he'll live.
I can give you two minutes.
- You know what I think Sal?
I don't think you
ever were a mob guy.
You wanted to be.
And they made you kill
your wife to make your bones,
to become a made man, but they
were setting you up all along.
Who gave the order
to pull the trigger?
You don't want the wise
guys who tried to dust you
to walk do you?
And they're celebrating,
those big boys.
Those big boys are
celebrating right now.
They're drinking a toast to
what an easy target you were.
They're laughing at
you Sal, laughing at you.
- I'm sorry but that's
going to have to be all.
- Who set you up?
Who wanted Shelly killed?
Who were the bosses?
- We've got to get him
to the operating room.
- Testify Sal, name names.
Help me take them down.
- Please sergeant, please.
- I'll testify.
I'll testify.
I'll testify.
- [Danza] He still alive?
- Breathing, if that qualifies.
They'll be mining the
lead out of him for a week.
- Will he testify?
- Yeah he'll testify.
First for us, then for the feds,
if there's anything left.
- You're charming to the
end aren't you Hooker?
- I have my moments.
(pleasant music)
(exciting music)
(sighs)
- One lukewarm chili dog.
One coffee black.
- Okay.
- One new toothbrush
and one bottle of
stomach antacid.
- That's what I need.
- Looks like you're set for a
real swinging evening, Hooker.
Anything yet?
- None.
Just got a room down the street.
His car's parked around
the corner in a garage.
When he comes out of that joint,
I'm going to tail him and see
if he takes me
any place exciting.
- What the hell are you doing
staked out on your
day off anyway?
- If I'm not here
where else will I be?
- Look at you.
You're tearing up your
stomach eating junk.
Working nights when
you don't even have to.
You're a mess, you know that?
- What's wrong with nights?
I like nights.
- This guy you're waiting
on, is he a hitman?
- Imported from Detroit
to dust somebody
according to one of my snitches.
- Who's the contract out on?
- Something to
do with a big heist.
I don't know who's being hit
and I don't know
what's being heisted,
but I don't like my
streets being dirty.
- Yeah, tell me
something new huh?
Well, I'm due back on duty.
- You got the best
legs on the force, kid.
Why don't you get out of
vice and into something safe?
- Think about getting married
sometime, having babies,
even having 'em with you.
- Babies?
I'm pretty good with babies.
One out of two's not bad.
- You know you make
the job your wife Hooker,
someday you're gonna wake up
and discover you
married a whore.
- I'll take it under advisement.
You wouldn't force an alcoholic
to take a drink would you?
- Yeah well, I just think you're
a real reclamation
project, Hooker
and I'm the lady
who's on the case, ow!
(suspenseful music)
- Police, everybody down!
(gunfire)
(screaming)
- Touch that brake,
and I'll blow you away.
Hey, hey you down there, cop!
You back off ya hear?
- Put the gun down
before you have
real trouble on your hands.
- You're not gonna fire,
'cause this pretty little girl's
gonna be hamburger
if you even twitch.
- Let the girl go
and you're clean!
Tell that bus driver
to stop and you walk.
(gunfire)
Who were you sent to kill?
Whose name is on the contract?
- You figure it smart
guy, you figure it.
- Come on Dupree, your
ticket's already canceled.
Why don't you go
out with a good deed?
Tell me about the heist,
and who's gonna be hit.
- I can use that information,
so call me as soon
as you get it, thanks.
Hey somebody die and
leave you some money?
- It's from Steven Kennedy.
He says he's learned how
to use a word processor.
And that it's not as easy
as playing the piano,
but he's betting he
has less typos than I do.
- My money's on Steven.
If you used the gun
the way you type
he would have been
dead last Christmas.
- [Stacy] Anyway, he just
finished his last quarter
at grad school and is
going to be coming out
to stay with Bill at the beach.
- Oh yeah how's Bill doing?
What's he up to?
- [Stacy] Still
working security.
- Happy at it?
- [Stacy] I guess, why?
- Once a cop sometimes
it's hard to play toy soldier.
Hey Hooker, captain
Danza's been looking for you.
- Fire in his eyes.
Have anything to do
with last night's shooting?
- How do I know?
What am I a mindreader?
- Oh beautiful, you're gonna
be fun to be around today.
You get any sleep?
- Slept like a baby.
Until somebody wanted
to use the pool table
and asked me to leave.
The deceased's name
is Angelo Dupree.
Ever hear of him?
- No, should I have?
- I'm having R&I do a run,
but one of my snitches tells me
that he's a button man
brought in from Detroit
to plug a leak and something
big is going down around it,
like a sizable heist.
- Button man, we
talking mob hit?
- Bet on it.
And just because
I got the shooter
doesn't mean that the
contract isn't gonna go down
with somebody else
behind the trigger.
- What about his
personal effects?
Anything that might
take you in that direction?
- We searched him and his room
and there was nothing,
no telephone number,
no address, nothing to go on.
And we impounded the
car he rented from Detroit.
- So maybe there will
be something there.
- Maybe.
- Hooker.
Where were you two
last night while Hooker
was trotting around
shooting up the city?
- They were off duty captain.
- And so were you.
What are you a
maniac, shooting up
a bus crowded with citizens?
- There were extenuating
circumstances,
in my report on
your desk in triplicate.
- In my office, Hooker, now.
- You know you could learn to be
a tad more diplomatic with him.
- I'm taking up needlepoint,
I can only concentrate
on one thing at a time.
- You realize how much heat
is going to come
down from this one?
Calls from the chief, the mayor.
What do I tell
them when they ask
why you were indiscriminately
blasting away in a crowd?
- It was a hostage
situation, I did what I could.
- I've been checking
your file, Hooker.
You're making half the
busts you should be making.
- Busts?
I'll make all the busts you
want to raise your numbers.
There's a difference
between numbers and justice.
- Look who are we kidding here?
You were on that bus because
one of your scuz informants
told you something
was going down.
- I've made more
cases with snitches
than any other way, whatever
works I'm gonna keep doing.
- So you have your own style,
but you depend too much
on the integrity of garbage.
Our job is to get the
scum off the streets,
not try to do it with mirrors.
- I don't need you to
check into this precinct
for 10 minutes
and tell me my job.
- You're already over
the line, friend, way over.
- What happened to you Danza?
You used to be a good cop,
now you're a headquarters guy
trafficking in human
beings and horse manure.
Busting a teenage hooker
or a few guys rolling craps
or some poor junky
with a rusted kit
isn't gonna solve anything
and neither are your
computers or your slide rules.
- And you know how to do it huh?
Nail the big guys,
clean the boulevards,
straighten out the world?
- No I don't know how to do
it any more than the next guy,
but I don't pretend that I do.
- Next time you bring heat down,
I won't protect ya.
Or maybe I'll even bust you.
- If you want my
badge, go for it.
Until then don't tell me my job.
(dramatic music)
- You sure your man inside knows
when to shut off the alarms?
- Yeah my guy
will be on schedule.
- Okay, take care of the gate.
- [Man] That dude
makes me nervous.
- He did set up the inside man.
Don't worry, when
this is all over
he won't be around
to spend his cut.
- All right everybody,
cooperate and nobody gets hurt!
You, move, open the safe.
Everybody down, face
down on the floor, move!
- On the floor, come on!
- So what happened when
Hooker tossed the hitman's rental?
- The car was clean
except for a .44 Magnum,
some hollow points, and
there were some notes
scribbled on the map in
the glove compartment.
The only thing
Hooker could make out
was the name Shelly Martel.
- Could be the intended
victim, but male or female?
And what about the map?
- You mean like was
there an X marking the spot
where the hit was
supposed to go down?
- Or the heist that
Hooker heard about?
- Forget it, unless
Shelly Martel is a bear.
It was a tourist map
to Yellowstone Park.
(beeping)
- [Dispatch] Four out of 30
and any unit in the vicinity
211 in progress south
coast cargo terminal
international airport 19th
and Palmer handle code three.
- Four out of 30, roger.
- Action at the airport.
Let's pick up a couple tickets
to the Caribbean
while we're at it.
- You're on partner.
Four out of 16
rolling back up to 30.
- Okay that's all of it.
- Come on come on come on!
- Oh no, no no don't do it!
(gunfire)
(screaming)
(beeping)
- [Dispatch] Four out of 30 an
airport security
car is en route.
We'll meet you at the terminal.
- Four out of 30, roger.
- Get the gate!
- Airport security,
come on let's go!
Hurry hurry, let's go!
(gunfire)
(booming)
(sirens wailing)
- Black van, late model.
Heading east on 19th Street.
They're armed with
automatic weapons,
not shy about using them
and call for an ambulance.
They smoked one
right over there.
- Four out of 16 need assistance
at south coast cargo terminal.
- Oh my god, it's
Bill, Bill Kennedy.
(dramatic music)
- Zoilas take a hit from that
cop, he ain't gonna get up.
And if he does, he's not gonna
be able to do the job
he was supposed to do.
And Angelo Dupree before him
which is to shut
that chick's mouth
before she spills
chapter and verse.
- Man well did you
ever think that maybe
she won't tell
nobody nothing huh?
- Look, Innis is down
and Dupree is down.
The baby blue spot is on you.
- What are you crazy, huh?
- You're elected,
you pull the trigger.
I'm telling my people
that's how it's coming down.
- All right, then maybe I take
one of these for
insurance huh man?
- I thought we were
gonna split later.
- What am I an animal?
I'm gonna go kill my wife?
- Hey hey hey hey, come on!
Let's get the hell out of here.
- I'll take care of you
another time, later.
- Okay fellas now let's do this
to the count of three all right?
One, two, three, there we go.
Looks like the
liver or the spleen.
Start a second line
with lactated ringers.
Don't deflate the mass suit.
Type and cross 10
units packed cells.
- It'll take 20 minutes.
- Too long get me some plasma.
- Blood pressure 60 over 40.
- Pulse?
- [Woman] 120 and
thready, respiration labored.
- I can't get the IV, get
me a cut down trach stat!
- Okay let's get him intubated,
I'll need a laryngoscope,
an ET tube.
- I can't get a blood pressure.
- He's got a belly full of
blood, notify the OR stat.
(beeping)
(waves crashing, gulls cawing)
- Well you've had
a good workout.
You're blowing like you just
finished the Olympic trials.
- Okay I'm a little
winded, but I didn't mean
to stop up here to get insulted.
Thought I'd check
out your sand castle.
- Well anybody who's turned on
by sand castles
can't be all bad.
- Not only am I
turned on by 'em,
I used to be a champion
at building them.
- Well you sound
like a beach person.
- I had a little shack not too
far from here a few summers ago.
I used to walk this
beach every day at sunset.
- Well then we're
practically neighbors.
My name's Steven Kennedy.
- Stacy Sheridan.
- Pleasure to meet you.
So what do you do besides
steam along the sand at an hour
when decent people
are still asleep?
- I'm a cop.
- Really?
- Turn you off?
- Should it?
- I don't know, I've known a
few gentlemen who was cruel.
- Well I'm actually
very fond of cops.
My mother married one.
- Steve!
- Speak of the devil.
- Are you ready for breakfast?
- Sure!
Dad I'd like you to meet
a new friend of mine.
- Howdy friend, name's Bill.
- Stacy Sheridan.
- LCPD, which precinct?
- Academy.
- I used to work out
on the 18th myself.
Hell of a bunch of guys.
I miss 'em a lot.
Come on in and
join us for breakfast!
Wait'll you taste my pancakes.
- [Man] He's getting cyanotic,
he'll never make it to OR.
- He's started to
throw some PVC.
- Getting any pressure?
- None.
- He's straight lined,
we're losing him.
Pupils fixed and dilated.
- Clear.
(beeping)
Come on, come on.
Come on, come on.
Come on, come on.
(waves crashing)
- I put in 19 years on the force
'til I caught a
slug in the spine
from some freaked
out punk on drugs.
So they shipped me out to
pasture on a disability pension
and I wound up
doing security work
for an outfit downtown.
Not the same as being in
harness, but it pays the rent.
(glass tinkles)
- Be careful you
don't cut yourself.
- Did I just blow it, or
didn't I fool you at all?
- Well I didn't know
down on the beach,
if that's what you mean.
- Well, you've known
some gentlemen
who were turned off by
finding out you were a cop.
I've known some ladies
who took off like rabbits
when they found out I was blind.
Figured I'd get
to know you first
and charm you to death
before you had second thoughts.
- Well I'm finished with
my running for the day.
Why don't I help
you clean this up?
- He didn't deserve that.
Two medals of valor, a
lifetime of being a good guy,
winds up on a slab in a morgue?
While the maggot who shot
him puts a notch on his gun
and brags to his
friends how macho he is.
- Bill?
You sure Steve is
back from school?
- I talked to him this morning.
What do you have on the robbery?
- Easy Stace.
- I just want to get
whoever did this.
- Okay, what do you got?
- Four gunmen,
automatic weapons,
military precision and a
definite inside knowledge
of how the alarm system
at the cargo terminal works.
- Any idea how much they got?
- On the first estimate
it's three million
in cash, diamonds,
and securities.
They knew what they were after
and hit before Brinks
made their regular pickup.
I tell ya when
your street source
told ya a big heist was
going down he wasn't kidding.
- Yeah, and the MO
is similar to the heist
at the San Francisco airport
a couple of months ago.
Any idea on the guy that
I wounded at the scene?
- Nothing, but we'll
have him printed
and run through R&I.
- I want to head
out to the beach,
let Steven know how it happened.
- Okay.
It's almost daylight.
Get out of uniform,
Jim will drive you.
- There's one
other thing, Hooker.
All witnesses swear
Bill Kennedy cooperated,
didn't give the
gunman any trouble.
The one who pulled the trigger
seemed to just blow
him away for no reason.
Almost like an execution.
- Yeah.
We're gonna nail him.
And anybody else who had
anything to do with killing Bill.
I promise you that.
(elevator dings)
(gentle piano music)
- I don't think I
ever told you before,
but I wasn't born blind.
When I was seven I
developed a disease
that gradually
weakened the optic nerve.
One day the
lights just went out.
Dad thought for a
while there might
be a chance for an operation,
but we finally gave up.
- Well he was proud that
you pursued your music.
- He always felt I had talent.
Made me get off my tail
and do something about it.
God.
Somehow after all he
went through on the force,
I guess I always
thought he was immortal.
He was more than
just my father, Stace.
He was my friend.
- He was my friend, too.
I know you don't want
to think about this,
but there are
arrangements to be made.
- There's a will.
He wanted to be cremated.
His ashes scattered out at sea.
What about the
people who killed him?
- Well we don't
have anything solid
on 'em yet, but
we're working on it.
Steven, Hooker
worked with your dad
and they knew
each other for years.
There's no way he's
gonna let this loose
until he shakes
every tree in this city
to find the guy who
pulled the trigger.
(phone rings)
- Corrigan.
- Jim, Hooker.
We got lucky with a quick
ID on the wounded man.
His name is Tony Ennis.
He's got a record,
mostly small time burglary
and he spent some time
as muscle for several unions
and was on parole when he
showed up at the cargo terminal.
- But what about grilling him?
- Well we tried that, but he's
in intensive care
and refuses to talk.
- His parole officer have a
file on known associates?
- She's giving us a list and
we found an address on 'em
but O'Brien sent a team
there and came up with less
than what the parole officer
had with one exception,
they found a phone number
and a name scribbled
on a scrap of paper.
- Do I guess?
- [Hooker] Shelly Martel.
- The phone number?
- A dance studio
on the east side.
The lady's an instructor there
but they wouldn't give out
anything else on the phone.
I want you and Stacy to
track Ennis's known associates
while I find Shelly Martel.
- We'll be on it.
- Got a hot date tonight Shelly?
- Yeah, with a pizza
and a feather comforter.
Catch you girls later.
(suspenseful music)
Can you, what are
you doing here?
(gun fires)
(tires squeal)
- Hang on sweetie and
we'll get you to a hospital.
Somebody call an ambulance.
Are you Shelly Martel?
Who did this to you?
Do you know who did it?
(sirens wail)
She didn't have a chance.
What a waste.
- So the contract
went down on schedule
even without Angelo Dupree.
- And why her if she
was just a dancer?
- People have some kind of ID?
- Who wants to know?
- FBI.
- That the girl's bag?
- Yeah, why?
- We'll take care of it.
- Sergeant Hooker.
Officer Corrigan,
officer Sheridan.
- Okay you people
can move on now.
- [Hooker] What's that
supposed to mean?
- Just like it sounds,
point yourself
in a direction and walk.
No need for reports, we'll
contact your superior to confirm.
- What's the fed's
interest in this?
The girl was iced before
the sheet could be pulled up,
you guys are crawling
out of the woodwork.
- Hooker this isn't a game show.
If we tell you to
disappear, you disappear.
It's as simple as that.
- What the hell is going down?
First a button man from
Detroit, then an airport heist.
- Then the hit goes
down and now?
- I don't know what's going down
but I'm sure as hell
going to find out.
- What about captain Danza?
He'll lay the bricks to you
if you ask for special duty.
- O'Brien will cover for
us long enough to take
a bite out of it, and if we turn
something Danza will
jump on the bandwagon
in time to take a bow
on the six o'clock news.
Salvatore Martel.
- Yeah.
- Hooker, LCPD.
- I already talked to the
cops at the morgue you know?
- Yeah I know you identified
Shelly Martel's body.
I want to ask you a
few more questions.
- Like I said man, I don't
know nothing so why bother?
- [Hooker] She
was your wife right?
- Happens every day.
One more life snuffed
out, so who cares?
- I care, I want to know
who killed her and why.
We think it was a mob
hit, shot by somebody
who wanted her out of
the way for some reason.
- That's crazy.
She didn't know anything that
anybody'd want to kill her for.
- [Hooker] What would she know?
- What?
- I said
somebody wanted her out
of the way for some reason
and you said it was crazy,
that she wouldn't know anything.
What would she know?
- It was a figure of speech.
Listen, truth is we've been
separated since she started
working at that
damn dance studio.
That's all she had on her mind.
That and shoes.
You know I'd be running
someplace uptown
if I had a 20 for every
pair she had in her closet.
- I don't know, seems to me
you got a good thing going here.
I was brought up
on Mulberry Street.
Used to come in
here all the time.
Was a little white haired
guy who used to run the place.
- Yeah?
He's dead, just like
this old neighborhood.
This dump I bought on probate's
the biggest mistake in my life.
That and marrying a dancer.
- Not exactly overwhelmed
with grief are you?
- Listen, she was a gypsy.
She had no morals,
no conscience.
- I was with her when she died.
She seemed like a
sweet, scared kid to me.
- Why don't you give me a break?
I'm paying for the funeral huh?
I got work to do pal.
- Maybe you heard
about the airport heist?
A friend of mine
was killed in it.
By the punks who pulled it.
Some scum,
executed for no reason.
I want him and I think
Shelly's murder ties into it.
- I just run out of answers
for your questions.
I got work to do.
- I'll be back.
- What's that a threat?
- No man that's a promise.
- Hey you can't
talk to me like that
'cause I didn't do
anything wrong.
- Then you have nothing
to worry about right?
(phone rings)
- Yeah?
- [Salvatore] It's
Sal, listen a cop
was just here asking
some more questions.
- So?
What did you tell him?
- [Salvatore] What do you
mean what did I tell him huh?
You think I'm stupid?
I don't like this thing here.
I'm starting to feel the heat.
I think maybe we
should split town huh?
- We stay put.
With you or without you, we
still have to fence that stuff.
But if it's without you,
you're going to have
to do some heavy
explaining to the big boys.
- Look I just meant
for a while you know?
- Get your act
together, Sal baby.
Or you can kiss your
big future goodbye, hear?
- Yeah yeah.
Hey listen you know
I've been thinking
about Bill Kennedy's son.
You know he was on the beach
when we were talking
to Kennedy at the house
and I tell you I
swear a couple times,
I caught him staring at us.
- Don't worry about it okay?
I'll take care of Kennedy's son.
- Yeah, right.
(ominous music)
- We've gone over Tony
Ennis's known associates list
and one of them turns out to be
a penny ante hood
named Sal Martel.
- Shelly Martel's ex.
- [Stacy] I thought we
came up with something.
- You did I just got
there ahead of you.
How's Steve Kennedy?
- With Bill gone he's
having a rough time.
- I made some calls.
Tomorrow we talk
with friend of justice
about the feds who
have been hassling us.
- What's the line
on Shelly Martel?
- How about this?
She was about to
become a protected witness
but she wanted to
make a deal first.
They were negotiating
whether she waited too long.
- Any idea what they were
trying to get out of her?
- Something to do
with the interstate
shipments of stolen property.
- Cargo heists?
- Starts to fit in doesn't it?
- Anything else?
- Just that the real juice
thought she was gonna testify to
had to do with the big heist
that hasn't gone down yet.
- Which was probably
the cargo terminal stickup.
- Where are you going?
- I'm going to find the
snitch who gave me
the original rumble on
Angelo Dupree hitting town.
(horn honking)
- We gotta stop
meeting like this Hooker
or people are going to talk.
- Let 'em, you wired?
- Nah it's turned off.
Those two bozos from ad
vice that I'm working with
are taking a break and I'm
just trying to talk some religion
into these street ladies
who think some pimp
in a gold limo is going to
be their prince Charming.
- I'm looking for Crystal Court.
- She's not hustling
the streets anymore.
Not since she got
herself a sugardaddy
and some catalog
work, lingerie like that.
Anyway that's what she
told me a couple days ago.
- Where can I find her?
(gentle piano music)
- My god Hooker you
scared me to death.
- Would you rather I
dropped by the table?
- You know better than that.
- Crystal.
I need more on that hit that
you said was going down.
- Look, I told you
everything I heard.
I only called you to try to pay
off some of my debt to you.
I'm clean.
I swear!
- A friend of mine was murdered
at that airport
heist, a good friend.
He left a son behind.
Son is blind.
My friend had a lot more
years to spend with that son,
so you tell me about Salvatore
Martel and Shelly Martel.
- Okay look, I overheard
one of my Johns
talking on the
phone about the hit.
But I didn't know who
the target was until
after it went down, but
what I didn't tell you was
that Sal Martel was
supposed to take over the hit
after you took out
the first trigger man.
- Who was your John?
- A guy I've known
on and off for a while.
Name of Manny Jacobs.
He's connected.
- How high up does
that connection go?
- I think Jacobs and
Martel are low level guys
who are sanctioned from above.
- Who put out the
contract on Shelly Martel?
- It could have been
nine different guys.
She just knew things
the mob doesn't want told.
- Maybe like you.
- Look, that's it
Hooker, that's all I know!
Except about the heist.
- What about the heist?
- There was an inside
man, a guy who was
into the loan sharks heavy
over some gambling debts.
- Who?
- Your friend.
The security guard
who was killed.
- Stay away from
people who can hurt you.
I don't want you to end up in
a drawer, wearing a toe tag.
- Hooker?
The security guard's son?
- What about him?
- He's blind.
- That's right.
- [Crystal] They
don't know that.
- What do you mean?
- The guys who pulled the heist.
They think the son saw them.
They think he can identify them.
- Did you reach Stacy?
- She was with Steven
Kennedy at the beach.
I told her to bring him in.
(ominous music)
- Steven!
Steven.
Four out of 16 to control.
We need an ambulance
at 626 Coast Highway.
The doctor's certain
Steven's going to be okay.
He had a slight concussion
and multiple fracture
of the right arm.
- Is there a guard
around his room?
- Yeah, but he doesn't know
why they came after him.
- When can I talk to him?
- No visitors until the morning.
- All right, you get some rest.
Jim and I are going to
go collect some garbage.
- Sal Martel?
- You got it.
- Hooker.
You people know agents
Brodsky and Carpenter don't you?
- Yeah we've met.
- Yeah that's right we have.
Did you get anything
out of Steven Kennedy?
- Who?
- You know Hooker it seems like
this is where we
left off with you.
- If you'll excuse us, captain.
- [Danza] Hold it Hooker.
We're cooperating with
Brodsky and his people.
- That's right, and if you've
got anything you share it.
Like what you found out
from the security guard's son.
- Are you threatening
me Brodsky?
- You can take it
any way you want.
We were on this case before you
stumbled in with two left feet.
- Yeah you were on it all
right, you were on it so good
you got a young girl killed you
should have been protecting.
- Shelly Martel?
She said she had information.
We didn't know whether
it was legit or not.
- Easy enough to check out
if you've been doing your job.
Instead she's dead, a heist
and another murder went down
which you should have stopped,
Shelly Martel knew
names you should have
squeezed out of her right away.
- Indictments are
what we're after,
the top dogs, not some
small chain street hoods.
- Let's go Jim.
Either of you get
in my face again,
you're going to
need a flashlight
and forceps to find your badges.
- Oh watch out!
(gunfire)
- Four X-ray 30 to dispatch,
requesting an ambulance
to the scene at Broad
and sixth, man shot.
(exciting music)
I'm in pursuit of suspects.
Proceeding north on
sixth crossing Grant.
(horns honking)
- The irony is that Steven
Kennedy didn't know anything.
He couldn't implicate anybody.
- Because he
couldn't see the hoods
we nailed meeting
with his father.
Has Steven been
released from the hospital?
- He'll be okay.
- You know his father made
one mistake in his whole life
and it cost him his life.
- Martel is in bad shape,
but I think he'll live.
I can give you two minutes.
- You know what I think Sal?
I don't think you
ever were a mob guy.
You wanted to be.
And they made you kill
your wife to make your bones,
to become a made man, but they
were setting you up all along.
Who gave the order
to pull the trigger?
You don't want the wise
guys who tried to dust you
to walk do you?
And they're celebrating,
those big boys.
Those big boys are
celebrating right now.
They're drinking a toast to
what an easy target you were.
They're laughing at
you Sal, laughing at you.
- I'm sorry but that's
going to have to be all.
- Who set you up?
Who wanted Shelly killed?
Who were the bosses?
- We've got to get him
to the operating room.
- Testify Sal, name names.
Help me take them down.
- Please sergeant, please.
- I'll testify.
I'll testify.
I'll testify.
- [Danza] He still alive?
- Breathing, if that qualifies.
They'll be mining the
lead out of him for a week.
- Will he testify?
- Yeah he'll testify.
First for us, then for the feds,
if there's anything left.
- You're charming to the
end aren't you Hooker?
- I have my moments.
