(dramatic music)
(upbeat music)
- I'm scared man.
I'm shaking like a leaf.
- What's the matter Charlie,
you wanna live forever?
- Quit talking,
let's just do it.
- [David] This is a
holdup, get on the floor.
- [Marlene] Everybody.
- [Charlie] Get down,
come on, give it to me now.
On your face,
come on, down, do it.
- [David] Now open the
door, open the door, come on.
- [Charlie] Get
on your face, fast.
- [Marlene] You two,
get on the floor now!
- [David] Open up
those cash registers.
Open them up, come on, let's go.
All right, give me the money,
put them in these bags.
Let's go now, hurry up!
- [Dispatcher] 4-Adam-16,
a citizens complaint.
Vehicle illegally parked
in the bus loading zone.
5th and Kenmore.
- 4-Adam-16, we copy
and we're on our way.
- 4-Adam-30 requests
4-Adam-16 to meet me on tac two.
- [Dispatcher] 4-Adam-16,
meet 4-Adam-30 on tac two.
- 30, this is 16,
go ahead Hooker.
- Just wondering if you
needed some backup.
- We handle the heavy
action by ourselves,
but thanks anyway, 16 out.
(suspenseful music)
- [Stacy] There it is.
- Yep.
There's somebody else across
the street parked in the red.
- Yeah, and in front of
a check cashing place.
- Let's have a look.
(suspenseful music)
- [David] Come on, come on.
- [Marlene] I said get down.
- [Charlie] What's
taking so long?
- [David] I thought I told
you to stay back by the door.
- [Charlie] Hey, down
on the floor old man.
(suspenseful music)
Down on the floor old man.
I said get down.
- [Charlie] What's
taking so long?
- [David] You better
get down old man!
- Stay put, I'll
call for backup.
- [David] Stay down,
or I'll blow you away.
I bet you'd like this
bag old man heh?
- Drop your guns, drop them!
Against the counter
now, both of you!
- [Marlene] Drop the gun cop.
Drop it!
(suspenseful music)
- [Charlie] Another cop!
- Stacy.
- [David] She's gonna
be our ticket outta here.
Everybody stays down,
and everybody lives.
(dramatic music)
Drop that gun or I'll kill her.
Drop it!
(Stacy yelps)
(tires screeching)
(siren wailing)
- [Jim] Holdup, they took
Stacy hostage, three of them.
- [T.J.] Let's go.
- [David] Get her cuffs.
Get her cuffs, put them on her.
(Stacy yelps)
Put them on, put them on.
(siren wailing)
- 4-Adam-30 in pursuit
of a late model gray van.
License two, king, nine,
seven, five, nine, six.
Headed north on
Spencer from 6th street.
A police officer is in the van
and has been taken hostage.
Use caution.
(siren wailing)
(tires screeching)
- Yoo hoo!
- Ha ha, yeah!
(suspenseful music)
- Three suspects
in a stolen van,
that's all we've got so far.
I want everyone to have
a description of that van
in the next then minutes,
and each one of you shake
down every snitch you've ever had.
- How hard do we
come down on them?
- Until something breaks.
Anything from the M.O. file?
- Negative, maybe
they're amateurs.
- Well, that'll be a break
for Stacy, if they are.
- Yeah, as long as
we don't spook 'em.
- Right, go
careful, but go fast.
The longer she's with
them, the worse it gets.
All right, that's it.
Except, find her.
Jim.
You and Stacy took on
the holdup solo, why?
- That's the way it turned out.
- What were you trying to
do, play Starsky and Hutch?
Why didn't you wait for backup?
- Stacy's a good cop,
it was a judgment call.
(suspenseful music)
- Slow down, dam it!
- [Marlene] We blew it.
- What do you mean?
- I mean we took a
lousy $5,000.00, that's all.
You said there'd be
50,000 in that joint.
You said there'd be payroll
money, lottery money.
- All right, so I was wrong.
Shut up and let me think!
- Well, while you're
thinking about it,
you better think about what
we're gonna do with her man.
She seen our faces.
- [Marlene] You know what
the bruise for armed robbery is?
30 years.
- What're you
saying, we kill a cop?
That's crazy.
- Did you hear what I said?
It's either her or 30 years.
(dramatic music)
- Not now, and not
unless I say so, okay?
(dramatic music)
- [Guard] Fell off the guys
wrist as he was running out.
I didn't stop to think about
fingerprints at all, sorry.
- American Pacific, does
that mean anything to you?
- Sounds like a train or a bank.
- I used to do a lot of
crewing on racing yachts.
There's a, there's
a big sailboat race.
Takes place every two years,
called the American Pacific.
- What's that got to
do with the bracelet?
- Well, skippers
do things like that,
sometimes when
they win, you know.
Could be a thank you from
the skipper to his crew members.
- So, you're saying that
this guy might've crewed
on a racing sailboat?
- It's just an educated guess.
- Well, let's see how your
educated guess pans out.
Off to the marina, thanks.
- Sorry about your partner.
If it hadn't been for her
coming in the way she did,
they'd have killed that
old man on the spot.
- Stacy did it on her
own, it wasn't your fault.
- I should've stayed with her.
- No, you did it by the
book, you called for backup.
- Yeah, and she went in
and saved that old man.
You heard it yourself.
- I heard it and that's the
way it's going in the report,
but that's not gonna
get her back any sooner.
(mysterious music)
- My bracelet.
- What about it?
- It's gone.
- Hey listen, if you lost it
back there, it's our necks.
- Look, will you two
forget about that.
David, we have to figure
out what to do with her.
We can't be dragging a
live cop around with us.
- She's right man.
We don't need her now.
- We can take her up to one
of those deserted canyons.
Up above Terranea Beach
It'd be weeks, maybe months
before anybody found her.
- What's the matter Marlene,
she too pretty for you?
Is that eating you up, huh?
- Are you getting a
thing for her, is that it?
All that blond hair
and all that baby face.
Well, you're not kicking
me out of bed for her.
Come here.
- [David] Leave her alone!
- Hey, come on, we're
all in this together, right?
(mysterious music)
(upbeat music)
- No, I don't recall seeing
anybody wearing one of these.
Looks expensive.
- American Pacific.
You do provide the trophies
for the American
Pacific race, don't you?
- Mm yeah, we sure do,
you can see some of them
in the pictures around here,
but we don't handle any
jewelry like that bracelet.
- When was the last time
somebody from around
here won that race?
- Oh that's easy, The
Lucinda, two years ago.
- Do you know the
owner of The Lucinda?
- Not as well as I'd like to.
Name's Georgia Wilson,
and gentlemen, she is
a whole lot of woman.
The Lucinda's berthed over
at The Gold Coast Marina,
if you're interested.
- We'll give it
a try, thank you.
(suspenseful music)
(upbeat music)
- [T.J.] Hello.
- Hello.
- [T.J.] Are you Miss Wilson?
- Yes, I am.
Now, what can I do for
my local police department?
- [T.J.] You recognize
this bracelet?
- Well sure.
It's one of those I had made up
for members of my
crew a couple years ago.
Is something wrong?
- There's been a
robbery and a kidnapping.
One of the suspects
wore that bracelet.
- [T.J.] Your crew, personal
friends, professionals?
- Friends yes, but uh,
just off the top of my head,
I don't remember just which ones
were on that
particular race with me.
- Give it some
thought Miss Wilson.
- I will, I promise.
How do I get in touch?
- Call the number on this
card anytime of the day.
- Anytime Sergeant Hooker?
- [T.J.] I'll be there.
(suspenseful music)
- Come on, you're
about to take a fall.
(Marlene yelps)
(Charlie grunts)
- What's the matter Charlie?
Can't you even handle a
woman who can't use her hands?
- I can handle her.
(foot thuds)
- [David] Hey, give it to me.
- Hey, I'll do it.
I don't need a gun.
Hey, it's a piece of cake man.
- (grunts) Drop it, drop it.
Now listen, I'll say when
and I'll say how, okay?
- Okay.
- Okay?
- Okay, okay man.
All right, okay.
(both laughing)
All right.
- All right, now you and me,
we're gonna take a little walk.
Just you and me.
Okay, easy now.
I'm just gonna
take your gag off.
Is that better?
- Give it up David,
now while you still can.
- Hey, I'm not the
one who's in trouble.
- You don't know
what trouble is.
Think about it,
every cop in this state is
looking for me right now.
You kill me, they'll
have your head.
- I'm not gonna let
anybody hurt you.
- What about Marlene?
- Ah, she's just jealous.
She thinks we
might get something
going between us, you know?
- Think she's right?
(David laughing)
- I gotta make up
my mind about you.
I'll give you this much though,
nobody would kill anything
as pretty as you, nobody.
Except me.
- Those animals have Stacy, why?
A hostage, a safe
ticket across the border?
- [Dispatcher] 4-Adam-30.
We're holding a call
from a Georgia Wilson.
Will you except?
- Roger, patch her through.
- Hooker, what've
you got Miss Wilson?
- I'm not sure Sergeant.
After you left I
made some calls.
All of my crew on that
race were good friends.
They still are, but
there was one exception.
One of my regular
crew came down sick,
so we picked up this
young man named Charlie.
I never knew his last name.
- And Charlie has
one of the bracelets?
- Oh yes, everybody did,
but about three
days into the race,
we found out that he
had a drug problem.
A very heavy problem.
It was a bad scene.
We were all glad
when the race was over.
- Have you seen this
Charlie since then?
- I think so.
Yes, yes, he hangs
around the marina.
I think he does odd jobs
on boats, things like that.
- We'll check it out,
thank you Miss Wilson.
- Call me Georgia.
- Okay, Georgia.
- And just call me anytime.
- Okay, anytime.
- That's a warmhearted lady.
- If this Charlie's a big user
and he scores at the marina,
I know who he's buying
from, Scooter Riley.
(upbeat music)
This guy's fast on his
feet when cops show up.
That's why he's called Scooter.
Cover to the front entrance.
- Like a blanket.
(suspenseful music)
- [T.J.] Scooter!
(dramatic music)
Now we're gonna have a talk.
- Let go of me Hooker.
- [T.J.] I want some answers.
- I ain't giving you
the time of day.
- Turn around.
You never learn, do you?
- Looks like smack.
- I want my lawyer.
- Lawyer, you're
gonna need a mortician.
Where's Charlie?
- Who?
- [T.J.] Charlie.
- Hooker, Hooker,
enough, enough.
You look, you look here.
The guy's name is
Charlie, and we need him.
- (laughs) Oh wow, I get
it, Hooker's the bad cop,
and you're the good cop.
It won't work man.
(fist thuds)
- It's my partner who's
missing, we're both the bad guys.
- [T.J.] Give us Charlie.
- All right, all right,
just go easy man.
Look, I, I ain't seen Charlie,
but he's got this place
up on Ocean Avenue.
Look, I'll tell ya where man.
(door thuds)
- Cover the back.
(suspenseful music)
- He's a user.
What is it?
(mysterious music)
That's Stacy's ring.
She was here.
- And they may come
back, I want a stakeout.
Let's tear this place apart.
I got a telephone bill
for Charles A. Rolph.
We got a name and some
very interesting telephone calls.
(suspenseful music)
- Hey, we just opened
a savings account.
Wait til they see the
withdraw we're gonna make.
How much do you
think we'll get Dave?
- All of it.
- When are we gonna hit it?
- Tomorrow morning.
That'll give me all
night to work things out.
(suspenseful music)
(light orchestral music)
- [Mr. Huntman] I'm Mr. Huntman.
If you two are the
off-duty police officers
I hired for security,
I want you on
that gate out there.
- [T.J.] I'm Sergeant Hooker,
this is Officer Corrigan, LCPD.
We're here on official business.
- [Mr. Huntman]
What might that be?
- [T.J.] A man by the
name of Charlie Rolph
called the telephone
number listed to your boat
14 times in the
last three weeks.
- [Jim] Some of those
talks lasted 30 minutes.
- [Mr. Huntman] Charlie
Rolph has nothing to do with me.
He hangs around with my son.
Now what is this
all about really?
- [T.J.] Armed robbery,
and the kidnapping
of a police officer.
- You telling me
my son is involved?
- I'm telling you Charlie
Rolph is involved.
We wanna talk to your son.
- David is not here.
When i see him, I'll
tell him to call you.
- Dam it, a police
officer's life is on the line.
I made a call.
Does the name Oakwood
Drug Rehab Clinic
mean anything to you?
- Oh, that's it.
David had a problem with drugs.
Not that is past history.
Get off his back, will ya?
- Is that where he
met Charlie Rolph?
- Maybe, I don't know.
- Where is your son now?
- I said I don't know,
Sergeant, back off.
You know who
this little party is for?
The Mayor, a little
fundraiser for his reelection.
You push me, you push
him, you get the point?
- If I have to, I'll push both
of you to hell and back.
Count on it.
(light orchestral music)
- [David] We'll
be safe out here.
Marlene lives in the
middle of nowhere.
- Come on, all you're gonna
get is a life term in prison.
- (laughing) They
gotta catch me first.
You hungry?
- I can't eat with my
hands behind me, can I?
Come on David, get
these things off me.
- What's the matter David?
Can't make love with her
hands behind her back?
- Shut up Marlene.
- Okay, I'll shut up.
You wanna help us with
the rest of the supplies?
- I changed my mind,
I'm tired of waiting.
I think we should do
something tonight, okay?
- What's the matter,
your cop girlfriend say no?
- Hey, hey, come on you two.
- Give me a hand,
give me a hand.
She went out the
side window, come on.
(dramatic music)
(Stacy yelps)
You do this
again, I'll kill you.
Better yet, I'll let
Marlene kill ya.
(dramatic music)
- You wanted to
see me Lieutenant?
- [Lieutenant] Yeah, we have a
visitor from downtown Hooker.
- William Murphy
from the Mayor's office.
Ah, I've been looking
over you records Sergeant,
with the Lieutenant's
permission, of course.
I must say, I'm quite impressed.
- You didn't come all
the way from downtown
to blow smoke in
my ear now, did ya?
- (snickers) No, no I didn't.
The Mayor's a
considerate man Sergeant.
He asked me to
talk to you directly,
instead of the Chief of Police.
- It's about Robert
Huntman, isn't it?
- You're a very
discerning man Sergeant.
Yes, Mr. Huntman and his son.
I'm sure we
understand each other.
- Now wait a minute,
this case file from the
Oakwood Rehab Center
establishes Mr. Huntman's son
is a known associate
of Charlie Rolph.
A man we know is involved in
Officers Sheridan's kidnapping.
- I'm sorry Lieutenant,
we're just not satisfied
that the evidence
warrants any action.
That could be
considered harassment,
or threatening of
a prominent citizen.
- What's the bottom line?
- [Lieutenant] There
will be no problem,
if you voluntarily withdraw
from this investigation.
- I'm on this case until
I find Officer Sheridan,
and you can tell the
Mayor that from me.
- That was the
Mayor talking Hooker.
- Yeah, I get the picture.
How do you feel about this?
- [Lieutenant] I'm behind you.
Now get out of here
and go find Stacy.
(gun firing)
- [David] All right,
everybody just stay put.
- [Marlene] Don't anybody move.
Now you don't wanna
get shot, do you?
- [David] Come on, come
on, come on, come on.
(Stacy grunting)
Come on, come on,
come on, get it in there.
Come on, hurry up!
Come on, come on, come on.
Move it, come on, come on!
- [Marlene] Hurry up, come on!
- [Charlie] All of
you, get down.
Come on, come on.
- [David] Move it!
Stay down, all right,
everybody just stay down.
(fist thuds)
- [Marlene] Let him go.
Let him go!
(gun firing)
come on, hurry up!
Come on.
(tires screeching)
- What happened?
- We had a little trouble.
- We had a lot of trouble.
I had to blow away
the guard in there.
- Hooker, well it looks
like your suspects
are back in business again.
Only this time, they shot
out the surveillance camera.
- What happened?
- Well, there's three
armed suspects.
There was a fight, they
killed the bank guard.
Oh, there's something else.
One of bank
officers, Mrs. Loring,
she got a look at the
face of one of them.
- How much?
- 11,000.
- Jesus, there's gotta
be more than that.
We're never gonna get
enough to get it for the boat.
- [Charlie] Where do they
keep the big money anyway?
- In vaults.
- Yeah, but the got,
they got time locks.
You gotta know when
they open those things.
- Well then what
the hell do we do?
- Wait a minute.
Where does the money come from?
Armored cars, right?
- Hey David, that's it.
We stake out a place.
- Yeah.
- We find out when the
armored cars deliver the money.
- Yeah (chuckles).
- And steal it!
- Yeah!
(both laughing)
- Great, now the only thing
that we have to figure out,
is when do we dump her?
(dramatic music)
- No, his nose
was smaller I think.
Oh, maybe not, I'm not sure.
- Try again.
- Hooker, just got this from
The Oakwood Rehab Clinic.
- That's him, that's the one.
- David Huntman.
(dramatic music)
- [Charlie] Piece of
cake, right David?
- [David] They'll never
know what hit 'em.
- David and me are
getting married you know?
We're gonna take all that
money we're gonna get,
we're gonna go away somewhere,
and we're just
gonna live on a high.
- Does David know that?
- He did til you came along.
- Yeah, I'm ready
to move on anytime.
Why don't you do
yourself a favor and let me.
- What do I get outta that?
- David.
- [Marlene] That's a good one.
- [Stacy] So, what do ya say?
- You've said enough.
I'm gonna get some air.
Stay put.
(mysterious music)
(gun firing)
- Did you really think I
was gonna let you go cop?
- You like to play
games, is that it, for kicks?
- Yeah, I like
watching you jump.
I like it a lot.
You're doing what I make you do.
(dramatic music)
I oughta blow you
away right here and now.
- Go ahead, if you wanna make
sure David hates you, go on.
(mysterious music)
- [T.J.] Pretty good match,
what do you think Mr. Huntman?
- Where did you
get that drawing?
- From an eyewitness
to a bank robbery.
They also killed a guard.
- There must be some mistake.
David couldn't do that.
- There's no mistake.
There were two
others, they wore masks.
They kidnapped an officer.
They still have her.
- All right, if you are
right, how can I help?
- One of them was a
woman, David knows her.
Maybe you do too.
- A girl.
Ah, it could be any girl.
- [T.J.] Not this one,
they were a team, think.
- Uh, there was one girl
he went with for awhile.
He even brought her
by a couple of times.
- Name?
- Marlene um, oh, I can't
remember her last name.
She lived on Duval Canyon.
- Duval Canyon, got it.
- Sergeant, if my son did
this thing, I am so sorry.
- We're all sorry.
(dramatic music)
- [Dispatcher] 4-Adam-16.
Meet 4-Adam-30 on tac two.
- Roger.
What've you got Hooker?
- I think I found
David's playmate.
Last house on Duval Canyon.
Are you close?
- I guess about two miles.
- Roger, put it
under surveillance.
Her name is Marlene Sterns.
I'll be there as soon as I can.
- I'm on it.
(upbeat music)
- Look, this is it.
This is the big score,
you understand?
I can give you
anything that you want.
- No deal David.
- (grunts) Come on,
come on, don't talk like that.
Look, it's gonna be you
and me from now on.
You and me.
I mean, I know it's wild,
I, I, I know it's crazy,
but, but I love you.
Oh, oh wow.
(chuckles) Gee, I, I never
said that to anybody before.
I, I never felt that before.
- I'm a police officer,
do you hear me?
I'm a hostage.
Marlene said she
killed a bank guard.
All you can do now
is give yourself up.
- Shut up!
What're you talking about?
You listen to me okay?
Listen good!
I'm never going back to
what I was before, never.
Either you're going with
me where I wanna go,
or your going nowhere.
(suspenseful music)
(David grunting)
- David, we're ready to go man.
- [David] Put her in
the van, let's get it on.
(upbeat music)
- 16 to 30.
- [T.J.] Go ahead Jim.
- Hooker, they've got Stacy.
They're just putting her
in a blue and white van.
They're pulling out now.
- Then move!
(dramatic music)
- They're moving south
on Hancock Boulevard.
Where are you Hooker?
- I'm closing fast,
give me a cross street.
- 57th, wait, they're
turning onto 58th.
- I know the area.
(dramatic music)
- [Jim] They're pulling over.
It's The International
Currency Exchange.
That's gotta be it Hooker.
(dramatic music)
- Let's take 'em.
(dramatic music)
(guns firing)
(sirens wailing)
(guns firing)
- Drop it, drop it!
- [David] Stay
back or I'll kill her.
(dramatic music)
- Jim, take care of the girl.
(sirens wailing)
(dramatic music)
- Come on!
Okay, it's just you and me babe.
- It's finished
David, it's over.
- No, no, look.
I took your gag off, so
that we could kiss goodbye.
- Listen to me David,
this isn't the way.
We'll do everything
we can for you.
- Yeah, yeah, I
know, a shrink right?
I don't want any more
father figures, you got it?
Look, I'm gonna really
be free now, we both are.
That's far enough.
- Put the gun down Huntman.
- (chuckles) I don't care
about getting hurt anymore.
- Hooker.
- David, look at me,
I'm putting my gun away.
- (laughs) Nice try cop.
- Stacy.
(dramatic music)
Give me your hand.
(dramatic music)
(David screams)
(upbeat music)
- [Stacy] Yeah, and
I felt sorry for David.
Not very professional.
- [T.J.] But very human.
- [Stacy] Said he
wanted to be set free.
I guess he is now.
- [Jim] Yeah, the hard way.
- [Stacy] By the way Hooker,
I hear you've got
something going
with a lady sailor
named Georgia.
- [T.J.] Oh, we
never left the dock.
Hey, when you said you
wanted to take us sailing,
I didn't know you
had this kind of class.
- [Jim] You kidding, I told
you I was a blue water man.
- [Stacy] I thought you
were a two beer man?
- [Jim] Hey sailing,
it's the same thing.
- Who owns this boat?
- [Stacy] Who cares, it'll do.
- Hey, not that boat, this boat.
(whimsical music)
(dramatic music)
(upbeat music)
- I'm scared man.
I'm shaking like a leaf.
- What's the matter Charlie,
you wanna live forever?
- Quit talking,
let's just do it.
- [David] This is a
holdup, get on the floor.
- [Marlene] Everybody.
- [Charlie] Get down,
come on, give it to me now.
On your face,
come on, down, do it.
- [David] Now open the
door, open the door, come on.
- [Charlie] Get
on your face, fast.
- [Marlene] You two,
get on the floor now!
- [David] Open up
those cash registers.
Open them up, come on, let's go.
All right, give me the money,
put them in these bags.
Let's go now, hurry up!
- [Dispatcher] 4-Adam-16,
a citizens complaint.
Vehicle illegally parked
in the bus loading zone.
5th and Kenmore.
- 4-Adam-16, we copy
and we're on our way.
- 4-Adam-30 requests
4-Adam-16 to meet me on tac two.
- [Dispatcher] 4-Adam-16,
meet 4-Adam-30 on tac two.
- 30, this is 16,
go ahead Hooker.
- Just wondering if you
needed some backup.
- We handle the heavy
action by ourselves,
but thanks anyway, 16 out.
(suspenseful music)
- [Stacy] There it is.
- Yep.
There's somebody else across
the street parked in the red.
- Yeah, and in front of
a check cashing place.
- Let's have a look.
(suspenseful music)
- [David] Come on, come on.
- [Marlene] I said get down.
- [Charlie] What's
taking so long?
- [David] I thought I told
you to stay back by the door.
- [Charlie] Hey, down
on the floor old man.
(suspenseful music)
Down on the floor old man.
I said get down.
- [Charlie] What's
taking so long?
- [David] You better
get down old man!
- Stay put, I'll
call for backup.
- [David] Stay down,
or I'll blow you away.
I bet you'd like this
bag old man heh?
- Drop your guns, drop them!
Against the counter
now, both of you!
- [Marlene] Drop the gun cop.
Drop it!
(suspenseful music)
- [Charlie] Another cop!
- Stacy.
- [David] She's gonna
be our ticket outta here.
Everybody stays down,
and everybody lives.
(dramatic music)
Drop that gun or I'll kill her.
Drop it!
(Stacy yelps)
(tires screeching)
(siren wailing)
- [Jim] Holdup, they took
Stacy hostage, three of them.
- [T.J.] Let's go.
- [David] Get her cuffs.
Get her cuffs, put them on her.
(Stacy yelps)
Put them on, put them on.
(siren wailing)
- 4-Adam-30 in pursuit
of a late model gray van.
License two, king, nine,
seven, five, nine, six.
Headed north on
Spencer from 6th street.
A police officer is in the van
and has been taken hostage.
Use caution.
(siren wailing)
(tires screeching)
- Yoo hoo!
- Ha ha, yeah!
(suspenseful music)
- Three suspects
in a stolen van,
that's all we've got so far.
I want everyone to have
a description of that van
in the next then minutes,
and each one of you shake
down every snitch you've ever had.
- How hard do we
come down on them?
- Until something breaks.
Anything from the M.O. file?
- Negative, maybe
they're amateurs.
- Well, that'll be a break
for Stacy, if they are.
- Yeah, as long as
we don't spook 'em.
- Right, go
careful, but go fast.
The longer she's with
them, the worse it gets.
All right, that's it.
Except, find her.
Jim.
You and Stacy took on
the holdup solo, why?
- That's the way it turned out.
- What were you trying to
do, play Starsky and Hutch?
Why didn't you wait for backup?
- Stacy's a good cop,
it was a judgment call.
(suspenseful music)
- Slow down, dam it!
- [Marlene] We blew it.
- What do you mean?
- I mean we took a
lousy $5,000.00, that's all.
You said there'd be
50,000 in that joint.
You said there'd be payroll
money, lottery money.
- All right, so I was wrong.
Shut up and let me think!
- Well, while you're
thinking about it,
you better think about what
we're gonna do with her man.
She seen our faces.
- [Marlene] You know what
the bruise for armed robbery is?
30 years.
- What're you
saying, we kill a cop?
That's crazy.
- Did you hear what I said?
It's either her or 30 years.
(dramatic music)
- Not now, and not
unless I say so, okay?
(dramatic music)
- [Guard] Fell off the guys
wrist as he was running out.
I didn't stop to think about
fingerprints at all, sorry.
- American Pacific, does
that mean anything to you?
- Sounds like a train or a bank.
- I used to do a lot of
crewing on racing yachts.
There's a, there's
a big sailboat race.
Takes place every two years,
called the American Pacific.
- What's that got to
do with the bracelet?
- Well, skippers
do things like that,
sometimes when
they win, you know.
Could be a thank you from
the skipper to his crew members.
- So, you're saying that
this guy might've crewed
on a racing sailboat?
- It's just an educated guess.
- Well, let's see how your
educated guess pans out.
Off to the marina, thanks.
- Sorry about your partner.
If it hadn't been for her
coming in the way she did,
they'd have killed that
old man on the spot.
- Stacy did it on her
own, it wasn't your fault.
- I should've stayed with her.
- No, you did it by the
book, you called for backup.
- Yeah, and she went in
and saved that old man.
You heard it yourself.
- I heard it and that's the
way it's going in the report,
but that's not gonna
get her back any sooner.
(mysterious music)
- My bracelet.
- What about it?
- It's gone.
- Hey listen, if you lost it
back there, it's our necks.
- Look, will you two
forget about that.
David, we have to figure
out what to do with her.
We can't be dragging a
live cop around with us.
- She's right man.
We don't need her now.
- We can take her up to one
of those deserted canyons.
Up above Terranea Beach
It'd be weeks, maybe months
before anybody found her.
- What's the matter Marlene,
she too pretty for you?
Is that eating you up, huh?
- Are you getting a
thing for her, is that it?
All that blond hair
and all that baby face.
Well, you're not kicking
me out of bed for her.
Come here.
- [David] Leave her alone!
- Hey, come on, we're
all in this together, right?
(mysterious music)
(upbeat music)
- No, I don't recall seeing
anybody wearing one of these.
Looks expensive.
- American Pacific.
You do provide the trophies
for the American
Pacific race, don't you?
- Mm yeah, we sure do,
you can see some of them
in the pictures around here,
but we don't handle any
jewelry like that bracelet.
- When was the last time
somebody from around
here won that race?
- Oh that's easy, The
Lucinda, two years ago.
- Do you know the
owner of The Lucinda?
- Not as well as I'd like to.
Name's Georgia Wilson,
and gentlemen, she is
a whole lot of woman.
The Lucinda's berthed over
at The Gold Coast Marina,
if you're interested.
- We'll give it
a try, thank you.
(suspenseful music)
(upbeat music)
- [T.J.] Hello.
- Hello.
- [T.J.] Are you Miss Wilson?
- Yes, I am.
Now, what can I do for
my local police department?
- [T.J.] You recognize
this bracelet?
- Well sure.
It's one of those I had made up
for members of my
crew a couple years ago.
Is something wrong?
- There's been a
robbery and a kidnapping.
One of the suspects
wore that bracelet.
- [T.J.] Your crew, personal
friends, professionals?
- Friends yes, but uh,
just off the top of my head,
I don't remember just which ones
were on that
particular race with me.
- Give it some
thought Miss Wilson.
- I will, I promise.
How do I get in touch?
- Call the number on this
card anytime of the day.
- Anytime Sergeant Hooker?
- [T.J.] I'll be there.
(suspenseful music)
- Come on, you're
about to take a fall.
(Marlene yelps)
(Charlie grunts)
- What's the matter Charlie?
Can't you even handle a
woman who can't use her hands?
- I can handle her.
(foot thuds)
- [David] Hey, give it to me.
- Hey, I'll do it.
I don't need a gun.
Hey, it's a piece of cake man.
- (grunts) Drop it, drop it.
Now listen, I'll say when
and I'll say how, okay?
- Okay.
- Okay?
- Okay, okay man.
All right, okay.
(both laughing)
All right.
- All right, now you and me,
we're gonna take a little walk.
Just you and me.
Okay, easy now.
I'm just gonna
take your gag off.
Is that better?
- Give it up David,
now while you still can.
- Hey, I'm not the
one who's in trouble.
- You don't know
what trouble is.
Think about it,
every cop in this state is
looking for me right now.
You kill me, they'll
have your head.
- I'm not gonna let
anybody hurt you.
- What about Marlene?
- Ah, she's just jealous.
She thinks we
might get something
going between us, you know?
- Think she's right?
(David laughing)
- I gotta make up
my mind about you.
I'll give you this much though,
nobody would kill anything
as pretty as you, nobody.
Except me.
- Those animals have Stacy, why?
A hostage, a safe
ticket across the border?
- [Dispatcher] 4-Adam-30.
We're holding a call
from a Georgia Wilson.
Will you except?
- Roger, patch her through.
- Hooker, what've
you got Miss Wilson?
- I'm not sure Sergeant.
After you left I
made some calls.
All of my crew on that
race were good friends.
They still are, but
there was one exception.
One of my regular
crew came down sick,
so we picked up this
young man named Charlie.
I never knew his last name.
- And Charlie has
one of the bracelets?
- Oh yes, everybody did,
but about three
days into the race,
we found out that he
had a drug problem.
A very heavy problem.
It was a bad scene.
We were all glad
when the race was over.
- Have you seen this
Charlie since then?
- I think so.
Yes, yes, he hangs
around the marina.
I think he does odd jobs
on boats, things like that.
- We'll check it out,
thank you Miss Wilson.
- Call me Georgia.
- Okay, Georgia.
- And just call me anytime.
- Okay, anytime.
- That's a warmhearted lady.
- If this Charlie's a big user
and he scores at the marina,
I know who he's buying
from, Scooter Riley.
(upbeat music)
This guy's fast on his
feet when cops show up.
That's why he's called Scooter.
Cover to the front entrance.
- Like a blanket.
(suspenseful music)
- [T.J.] Scooter!
(dramatic music)
Now we're gonna have a talk.
- Let go of me Hooker.
- [T.J.] I want some answers.
- I ain't giving you
the time of day.
- Turn around.
You never learn, do you?
- Looks like smack.
- I want my lawyer.
- Lawyer, you're
gonna need a mortician.
Where's Charlie?
- Who?
- [T.J.] Charlie.
- Hooker, Hooker,
enough, enough.
You look, you look here.
The guy's name is
Charlie, and we need him.
- (laughs) Oh wow, I get
it, Hooker's the bad cop,
and you're the good cop.
It won't work man.
(fist thuds)
- It's my partner who's
missing, we're both the bad guys.
- [T.J.] Give us Charlie.
- All right, all right,
just go easy man.
Look, I, I ain't seen Charlie,
but he's got this place
up on Ocean Avenue.
Look, I'll tell ya where man.
(door thuds)
- Cover the back.
(suspenseful music)
- He's a user.
What is it?
(mysterious music)
That's Stacy's ring.
She was here.
- And they may come
back, I want a stakeout.
Let's tear this place apart.
I got a telephone bill
for Charles A. Rolph.
We got a name and some
very interesting telephone calls.
(suspenseful music)
- Hey, we just opened
a savings account.
Wait til they see the
withdraw we're gonna make.
How much do you
think we'll get Dave?
- All of it.
- When are we gonna hit it?
- Tomorrow morning.
That'll give me all
night to work things out.
(suspenseful music)
(light orchestral music)
- [Mr. Huntman] I'm Mr. Huntman.
If you two are the
off-duty police officers
I hired for security,
I want you on
that gate out there.
- [T.J.] I'm Sergeant Hooker,
this is Officer Corrigan, LCPD.
We're here on official business.
- [Mr. Huntman]
What might that be?
- [T.J.] A man by the
name of Charlie Rolph
called the telephone
number listed to your boat
14 times in the
last three weeks.
- [Jim] Some of those
talks lasted 30 minutes.
- [Mr. Huntman] Charlie
Rolph has nothing to do with me.
He hangs around with my son.
Now what is this
all about really?
- [T.J.] Armed robbery,
and the kidnapping
of a police officer.
- You telling me
my son is involved?
- I'm telling you Charlie
Rolph is involved.
We wanna talk to your son.
- David is not here.
When i see him, I'll
tell him to call you.
- Dam it, a police
officer's life is on the line.
I made a call.
Does the name Oakwood
Drug Rehab Clinic
mean anything to you?
- Oh, that's it.
David had a problem with drugs.
Not that is past history.
Get off his back, will ya?
- Is that where he
met Charlie Rolph?
- Maybe, I don't know.
- Where is your son now?
- I said I don't know,
Sergeant, back off.
You know who
this little party is for?
The Mayor, a little
fundraiser for his reelection.
You push me, you push
him, you get the point?
- If I have to, I'll push both
of you to hell and back.
Count on it.
(light orchestral music)
- [David] We'll
be safe out here.
Marlene lives in the
middle of nowhere.
- Come on, all you're gonna
get is a life term in prison.
- (laughing) They
gotta catch me first.
You hungry?
- I can't eat with my
hands behind me, can I?
Come on David, get
these things off me.
- What's the matter David?
Can't make love with her
hands behind her back?
- Shut up Marlene.
- Okay, I'll shut up.
You wanna help us with
the rest of the supplies?
- I changed my mind,
I'm tired of waiting.
I think we should do
something tonight, okay?
- What's the matter,
your cop girlfriend say no?
- Hey, hey, come on you two.
- Give me a hand,
give me a hand.
She went out the
side window, come on.
(dramatic music)
(Stacy yelps)
You do this
again, I'll kill you.
Better yet, I'll let
Marlene kill ya.
(dramatic music)
- You wanted to
see me Lieutenant?
- [Lieutenant] Yeah, we have a
visitor from downtown Hooker.
- William Murphy
from the Mayor's office.
Ah, I've been looking
over you records Sergeant,
with the Lieutenant's
permission, of course.
I must say, I'm quite impressed.
- You didn't come all
the way from downtown
to blow smoke in
my ear now, did ya?
- (snickers) No, no I didn't.
The Mayor's a
considerate man Sergeant.
He asked me to
talk to you directly,
instead of the Chief of Police.
- It's about Robert
Huntman, isn't it?
- You're a very
discerning man Sergeant.
Yes, Mr. Huntman and his son.
I'm sure we
understand each other.
- Now wait a minute,
this case file from the
Oakwood Rehab Center
establishes Mr. Huntman's son
is a known associate
of Charlie Rolph.
A man we know is involved in
Officers Sheridan's kidnapping.
- I'm sorry Lieutenant,
we're just not satisfied
that the evidence
warrants any action.
That could be
considered harassment,
or threatening of
a prominent citizen.
- What's the bottom line?
- [Lieutenant] There
will be no problem,
if you voluntarily withdraw
from this investigation.
- I'm on this case until
I find Officer Sheridan,
and you can tell the
Mayor that from me.
- That was the
Mayor talking Hooker.
- Yeah, I get the picture.
How do you feel about this?
- [Lieutenant] I'm behind you.
Now get out of here
and go find Stacy.
(gun firing)
- [David] All right,
everybody just stay put.
- [Marlene] Don't anybody move.
Now you don't wanna
get shot, do you?
- [David] Come on, come
on, come on, come on.
(Stacy grunting)
Come on, come on,
come on, get it in there.
Come on, hurry up!
Come on, come on, come on.
Move it, come on, come on!
- [Marlene] Hurry up, come on!
- [Charlie] All of
you, get down.
Come on, come on.
- [David] Move it!
Stay down, all right,
everybody just stay down.
(fist thuds)
- [Marlene] Let him go.
Let him go!
(gun firing)
come on, hurry up!
Come on.
(tires screeching)
- What happened?
- We had a little trouble.
- We had a lot of trouble.
I had to blow away
the guard in there.
- Hooker, well it looks
like your suspects
are back in business again.
Only this time, they shot
out the surveillance camera.
- What happened?
- Well, there's three
armed suspects.
There was a fight, they
killed the bank guard.
Oh, there's something else.
One of bank
officers, Mrs. Loring,
she got a look at the
face of one of them.
- How much?
- 11,000.
- Jesus, there's gotta
be more than that.
We're never gonna get
enough to get it for the boat.
- [Charlie] Where do they
keep the big money anyway?
- In vaults.
- Yeah, but the got,
they got time locks.
You gotta know when
they open those things.
- Well then what
the hell do we do?
- Wait a minute.
Where does the money come from?
Armored cars, right?
- Hey David, that's it.
We stake out a place.
- Yeah.
- We find out when the
armored cars deliver the money.
- Yeah (chuckles).
- And steal it!
- Yeah!
(both laughing)
- Great, now the only thing
that we have to figure out,
is when do we dump her?
(dramatic music)
- No, his nose
was smaller I think.
Oh, maybe not, I'm not sure.
- Try again.
- Hooker, just got this from
The Oakwood Rehab Clinic.
- That's him, that's the one.
- David Huntman.
(dramatic music)
- [Charlie] Piece of
cake, right David?
- [David] They'll never
know what hit 'em.
- David and me are
getting married you know?
We're gonna take all that
money we're gonna get,
we're gonna go away somewhere,
and we're just
gonna live on a high.
- Does David know that?
- He did til you came along.
- Yeah, I'm ready
to move on anytime.
Why don't you do
yourself a favor and let me.
- What do I get outta that?
- David.
- [Marlene] That's a good one.
- [Stacy] So, what do ya say?
- You've said enough.
I'm gonna get some air.
Stay put.
(mysterious music)
(gun firing)
- Did you really think I
was gonna let you go cop?
- You like to play
games, is that it, for kicks?
- Yeah, I like
watching you jump.
I like it a lot.
You're doing what I make you do.
(dramatic music)
I oughta blow you
away right here and now.
- Go ahead, if you wanna make
sure David hates you, go on.
(mysterious music)
- [T.J.] Pretty good match,
what do you think Mr. Huntman?
- Where did you
get that drawing?
- From an eyewitness
to a bank robbery.
They also killed a guard.
- There must be some mistake.
David couldn't do that.
- There's no mistake.
There were two
others, they wore masks.
They kidnapped an officer.
They still have her.
- All right, if you are
right, how can I help?
- One of them was a
woman, David knows her.
Maybe you do too.
- A girl.
Ah, it could be any girl.
- [T.J.] Not this one,
they were a team, think.
- Uh, there was one girl
he went with for awhile.
He even brought her
by a couple of times.
- Name?
- Marlene um, oh, I can't
remember her last name.
She lived on Duval Canyon.
- Duval Canyon, got it.
- Sergeant, if my son did
this thing, I am so sorry.
- We're all sorry.
(dramatic music)
- [Dispatcher] 4-Adam-16.
Meet 4-Adam-30 on tac two.
- Roger.
What've you got Hooker?
- I think I found
David's playmate.
Last house on Duval Canyon.
Are you close?
- I guess about two miles.
- Roger, put it
under surveillance.
Her name is Marlene Sterns.
I'll be there as soon as I can.
- I'm on it.
(upbeat music)
- Look, this is it.
This is the big score,
you understand?
I can give you
anything that you want.
- No deal David.
- (grunts) Come on,
come on, don't talk like that.
Look, it's gonna be you
and me from now on.
You and me.
I mean, I know it's wild,
I, I, I know it's crazy,
but, but I love you.
Oh, oh wow.
(chuckles) Gee, I, I never
said that to anybody before.
I, I never felt that before.
- I'm a police officer,
do you hear me?
I'm a hostage.
Marlene said she
killed a bank guard.
All you can do now
is give yourself up.
- Shut up!
What're you talking about?
You listen to me okay?
Listen good!
I'm never going back to
what I was before, never.
Either you're going with
me where I wanna go,
or your going nowhere.
(suspenseful music)
(David grunting)
- David, we're ready to go man.
- [David] Put her in
the van, let's get it on.
(upbeat music)
- 16 to 30.
- [T.J.] Go ahead Jim.
- Hooker, they've got Stacy.
They're just putting her
in a blue and white van.
They're pulling out now.
- Then move!
(dramatic music)
- They're moving south
on Hancock Boulevard.
Where are you Hooker?
- I'm closing fast,
give me a cross street.
- 57th, wait, they're
turning onto 58th.
- I know the area.
(dramatic music)
- [Jim] They're pulling over.
It's The International
Currency Exchange.
That's gotta be it Hooker.
(dramatic music)
- Let's take 'em.
(dramatic music)
(guns firing)
(sirens wailing)
(guns firing)
- Drop it, drop it!
- [David] Stay
back or I'll kill her.
(dramatic music)
- Jim, take care of the girl.
(sirens wailing)
(dramatic music)
- Come on!
Okay, it's just you and me babe.
- It's finished
David, it's over.
- No, no, look.
I took your gag off, so
that we could kiss goodbye.
- Listen to me David,
this isn't the way.
We'll do everything
we can for you.
- Yeah, yeah, I
know, a shrink right?
I don't want any more
father figures, you got it?
Look, I'm gonna really
be free now, we both are.
That's far enough.
- Put the gun down Huntman.
- (chuckles) I don't care
about getting hurt anymore.
- Hooker.
- David, look at me,
I'm putting my gun away.
- (laughs) Nice try cop.
- Stacy.
(dramatic music)
Give me your hand.
(dramatic music)
(David screams)
(upbeat music)
- [Stacy] Yeah, and
I felt sorry for David.
Not very professional.
- [T.J.] But very human.
- [Stacy] Said he
wanted to be set free.
I guess he is now.
- [Jim] Yeah, the hard way.
- [Stacy] By the way Hooker,
I hear you've got
something going
with a lady sailor
named Georgia.
- [T.J.] Oh, we
never left the dock.
Hey, when you said you
wanted to take us sailing,
I didn't know you
had this kind of class.
- [Jim] You kidding, I told
you I was a blue water man.
- [Stacy] I thought you
were a two beer man?
- [Jim] Hey sailing,
it's the same thing.
- Who owns this boat?
- [Stacy] Who cares, it'll do.
- Hey, not that boat, this boat.
(whimsical music)
(dramatic music)
