[THEME PLAYING]

[♪♪♪]

Ready?
I'm not sure.

About five minutes
and you'll know, baby.

Just keep your mind
on business, Pauly.

Hey, don't worry,
it's there.

This one's for you, Tess.

Yeah. Yes, sir, Jeffrey.

We've got ourselves
a new partner.

[♪♪♪]

Hold it.

There's cops.

[INDISTINCT DIALOGUE]

Let's go.
Jeff, let's get out of here.

Easy.

They're just chewing
the fat.

We'll wait inside.

DISPATCH:
All units,
this is a RATS alarm broadcast.

A robbery is in progress
at the supermarket,

1010 Olive View.

Repeat,
this is a RATS alarm broadcast.

A robbery is in progress
at the supermarket,

1010 Olive View.

Four-Adam-30 to all units.

RATS alarm test
has now concluded.

RATS alarm test
has now concluded.

One remote alarm
transmitting system, Mr. Doyle,

compliments of your local
police department.

Well, I'd rather have you
and Hooker staked out

in the back of my market
with shotguns, Romano.

There's no need for them,
Mr. Doyle.

This is high-tech.

This is law enforcement's
future.

You push the button,
we roll.

One little silver box

against five market robberies
in this area?

Now, somehow that just doesn't
seem to be much comfort.

Man's got a point, Romano.

Stakeouts used to be
a terrific deterrent.

Smoke one bandit,

robberies would drop to zero
overnight.

Stay that way for months.

I vote for that.

Unfortunately, it's not
on the ballot. Progress.

[♪♪♪]

Thanks.

So long, Mr. Doyle.

Um...

Heh. You mind if I drive?

My driving getting
on your nerves, Romano?

No. No,
I just wanna stay in touch.

You know, keep the feel
of the road, stay tuned in.

It's a nice shiny car.
No nicks, no dents.

No scratches.

Be my guest, Road Runner.

Beep, beep.

[♪♪♪]

All right,
this is a stickup!

Everybody over here! Move!

Move! Move! Move!

Everybody move!
Get over here!

Come on! Move!

[WOMAN SCREAMS]

Against the wall! Move!

Against the wall!

JEFF: Move! Move!

Everyone! Against the wall!

JEFF: Move!

PAULY: Everybody, move, move!

PAULY:
Up against the wall!

Go! Come on!

Number three, cover.

Now!

This was--
You, come on, open it up!

Open it. Put it in there.

MAN: I'm moving.

Now, it's-- All of them.

Good, thanks.
Up against the wall.

Come on, put it in there.

Fill that.

JEFF: Open it!

Open it, come on!

Now, get over here. Come on.

Lie face down.
Come on, on your stomachs.

Move, move, move! Move!

PAULY:
Open it up.

Put it all in there.

Just put in there.

Hey.

WOMAN: Please.

What are you doing?
You set the alarm off.

You just took the last bill out!

No, I didn't.

PAULY:
She's got the cops rolling.

Let's go!

That means you're gonna be

our ticket out of here.
Now, move! Move, come on!

Let's get out of here!
Get out! Move!

[♪♪♪]

[WOMAN WHIMPERING]

[MAN SHUSHES]

[TIRES SQUEALING]

[♪♪♪]

You know, somehow you get
to have all the fun, Hooker.

I mean, I've never even driven
a pursuit yet.

You got your whole career
in front of you.

Yeah, yeah. But it's like
being a fighter pilot.

I mean, this is my thing.

I get behind the wheel,

I feel like the Red Baron.

DISPATCH:
All units, frequency stand by.

Four-Adam-16 is in pursuit
of 211 suspects

from the market
at 1010 Olive View.

Now northbound on Overland
toward the foothills.

Suspects are driving
a Trans Am,

yellow in color, no license.

That's Joe Doyle's market

where we delivered
the RATS alarm.

Yeah, but that's not it talking.
Hang a U-turn.

[♪♪♪]

[SIREN WAILING]

Four-Adam-30, we're a mile
east of 16's call.

Tell them we're moving up
to a code 100

at Overland and Eastman.

And switching to Tac Two.

[♪♪♪]

They're closing!

That's only because
we're still on the flats.

If they'd give me room,
I'd nail those suckers.

Hold your position.
Just stay with it.

We still got two of them
left on our tail.

Hey, dump her.
That'll slow them down.

Don't. You'll hurt her,
you hear? You can't do that!

JEFF:
Shut up!

Coming up.

Now.
No!

No!

No!

[WOMAN SCREAMS]

[♪♪♪]

They're all yours now,
Romano.

You just bet they are.

Four-Adam-30.
Pursuit terminated.

Requesting shop tow.
We are involved.

They threw that girl
out of the car.

Let's get down there.

Another car trashed. We're
really gonna be in trouble

with Sheridan on this.

What's this we business?

You were driving.
I wasn't driving.

It's always we
when you're the driver.

Let's get a board under her.

Why did they do this to me?

Take it easy.

You're getting a lot of help,
okay?

What's your name?

Karen.

Karen Stewart.

Why did they do this to me?

Karen, is there anybody in your
family you want me to call?

There was just me
and my dad.

He died last year.

Karen,
if you have the strength,

I want you to try and remember
everything you can

about those people
in the car.

They never took off
their masks.

But I'm almost positive
one of them was a girl.

What makes you say that?

Her voice.

I heard her ask them--

I heard her ask them
not to push me out.

[WHIMPERING]

She had
kind of a Southern accent.

I have school tonight.

I'll be able to go, won't I?

Doctor?

My exams
are important to me.

I can't afford to miss them.

Let's take it all
one step at a time, Karen.

I wanna get you
to the hospital,

take some pictures,
look them over,

get you cleaned up.

Let's roll.

I'm studying to be a PE teacher.
If I miss tonight,

it'll set me back
a whole semester.

You make them understand,
okay?

I will.

It's her spine, isn't it?

It's serious, Hooker.

[♪♪♪]

[SIREN WAILING]

I'd like to bring
all the judges, all the lawyers,

all the well-meaning people
who understand

the plight of the unfortunate
who turn to crime.

To see that young girl

and the agony she hasn't
even been through yet.

HOOKER:
All right, bring her back.

Bring her back.
A little further.

A little further.

Turn your wheel.
All right, hold it.

Seymour says
we can't have another car.

What are you talking about?

He got orders.

Something
about being over budget.

What do you mean?
What are we supposed to do?

Patrol on foot?
Orders from who?

SHERIDAN:
Orders from me, Hooker.

You know, maybe this city
would be a lot safer

if you two were on foot.

HOOKER: Oh...

Now, this is your fleet
safety record.

Now, you two
have the distinction

of leading this precinct

in the willful destruction
of patrol cars.

Now, May the 5th,
that was $914.

That was the right front fender
and the door.

Ah, yeah.

That was the Irishman
who ran the red light.

Remember that one, Romano?

ROMANO:
Yeah, May 5th.

The guy was celebrating
Cinco de Mayo.

Couldn't hold his tequila.

[GROANS]

June 12th.

I know what you're gonna say
on that one.

You can't hold us responsible
for that.

I can't?

It was both a tactical

and cost-effective decision.

Let me see
if I got this straight.

The bandits pile
into the getaway car,

so you figured
the best tactic is to ram them?

Avoided a shootout.

So being cost-conscious,

you put your car into reverse
and you ram the crooks' car

with the back of your unit?

Saved the front grill,
the radiator and the engine.

If Hooker banged them head-on,
captain,

the cost
would've quadrupled.

You've destroyed
my fleet safety record,

and I feel as though I should
thank you for saving me money

that shouldn't have been spent
in the first place No, no.

You two guys, you're--
You're driving me crazy.

So why don't we just talk
about the market robberies?

Yeah, Hooker, why don't we?

We might have nailed
those bandits today

if you had delivered the RATS
alarm to that market on time.

Police work got in the way
of our delivery schedule.

But we also
might've nabbed them

if you'd quit writing
technology articles

for Police Chief Magazine

and put your Robbery people
on stakeout.

I told you before.

I'm morally opposed
to a stakeout

unless it's the last resort.

Six market robberies

in a 10-square-mile area,

at the rate of two a week.

Masked suspects, a shotgun,
45 autos

to back up their
"move-move-move" robbery style.

Two victims with concussions
from blows on the head,

and today a young girl
thrown from a car.

We don't know
if she's gonna walk again.

If that doesn't spell last
resort, I don't know what does.

Hooker, three suspects.

Voice ID'd one of them
as a girl.

There were two men only
on the other robberies.

Maybe they recruited
a third gun, sir.

What do we know
about the six stolen autos?

Five have been recovered.
Today's is still outstanding.

And, you know, for a thief
to steal a car before a robbery

is as common as a cold.

We chased your
common cold car today, Conrad,

and it was anything
but stock.

CONRAD:
Making excuses, Romano?

Maybe you need refresher time
on the pursuit course?

Hey, wait a minute, Conrad--

Hold it. Cool it.

Now, look, Conrad handles
the detective work on this one,

you two hit the streets.

Now, that's the end of it.
Okay?

Make it clear.

I guess the debate's over.

But not our investigation.

You got something in mind?

I won't know
until I got my hands

on Conrad's follow-ups.

Hooker,
that's 484 in the penal code.

Theft.

But you're wrong, Romano.

There's one element missing
in the crime.

I have no intent
to permanently deprive.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

I'm afraid, Jeff.

You just can't keep doing
robberies to feed this.

You got no gripe.

You're doing just fine
just six months away

from that Texas farm
I bailed you out of.

Mm.

Jeff, I love you.

Mm.

I would go anywhere
just to be with you

even if it was back
to my daddy's farm

or the Army base.

[CHUCKLES]

But when we came out here,

you didn't tell me
we was gonna be doing this.

Then why don't you go back,
sweetie?

You didn't have the guts
to do what was necessary today.

Hey, shut up, Pauly.

The market heists are buying
all the parts

for my little toy here.

And I'm gonna be
king of the hill real soon.

Nobody can stop me from it.

Devil Dan is gonna eat
my smoke.

Not until you get 5000
for that turbocharger.

That'll happen tomorrow.

Anybody gets in our way
on this hit,

I'm gonna do more than just
shove them out of a car.

For sure.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[INDISTINCT CHANTING]

HOOKER:
Charge!

Immobilizer.

Effective.

If you've got the time
and the space.

Every precinct carries one

in the supervisor's
station wagon.

And it's good
against mental cases

and suspects
carrying knives.

But it takes practice.

Unless you're a member
of a circus family.

Here. Come over here.

Any results on the follow-up
to the Trans Am?

All we know is that
it's been reported stolen

four hours
after the robbery.

And not recovered yet.

Oh, by the way, Romano.

Everyone knows that you blew
a pursuit yesterday.

And now you're grounded
without a new set of wheels.

I wonder what that's gonna do
to your dashing rep.

This rumor mill
has gotta stop.

Sixteen spun out
on that one too, you know.

And we do have
a new set of wheels.

Your dad, the captain,

just wanted
to chat about it first.

Well, when my group of Phase Two
recruits hit the street,

your kind of foul-ups
just won't happen.

Foul-up?

If you were a man--

Oh, but I'm not, Vince.

I'm all woman.

Part cop and a better driver
than the Philly Flash.

Well, you got
the woman part right, kiddo,

but when it comes to dri--

Stacy.

Uh, excuse me, Romano.

Stacy, I had a call
into the hospital.

Any word on Karen Stewart?

Surgery lasted for 12 hours.

She's still in intensive care.
They still don't know

if she'll be able to walk.

Poor kid.

What about the follow ups on
the recovered robbery vehicles?

Detective Conrad
didn't lock his file.

Good for you, Stacy.

Number six
won't be in there.

Still outstanding.

Camaro, Trans Am,
FIAT, BMW...

Stacy, run criminal records
on each of the car owners.

Pull all associates,

break them down by male, female,
age, birthplace,

and current resident address.
Will you do that?

What are you on to, Hooker?

When I find that Trans Am
we lost yesterday,

I'll let you know, junior.

Tell you what, Sheridan.

Since you Phase Twos
think us Phase Fours

are such foul-ups,

let's put it to the test.

Why, Romano.

You wouldn't be suggesting
a little contest?

Pursuit track.
Nose to nose, wire to wire.

Tell your class
to pick a driver.

They already have.

You?

[LAUGHING]

I love it.

[LAUGHING]

Thank you. I love it.

Wanna name a prize, Romano?

Oh, I have a few ideas.

Quite a few.

[CHUCKLING]

[♪♪♪]

So do I, Romano.

So do I.

[♪♪♪]

Air-One to Four-Adam-30.

Air-One to Four-Adam-30.

Thirty. Go, Air-One.

Air-One. I covered sector two
west of the ridge.

Just like you said, Hooker.

I've got one Trans Am
sitting in the bush.

A hundred feet from Skyridge
and Wonderland Place.

Roger, Air- One.
Thanks much for the assist.

[♪♪♪]

How much do you know
about cars, Romano?

Hooker, you are talking
to the South Philly Flash.

Come on.
Hey.

In high school,

I put together
a '69 Mustang.

Listen.
She had Indy 500 heads,

Speed Pro eight-to-one slugs

[LAUGHING]

and a roller cam, chromed crank.

Nobody
but nobody could touch me.

Street drags.

You figured
the Trans Am is suped?

In a way.

Get us a tow truck

and we'll see
if you were flat outdriven

or if the bandits
had some help.

[MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKER]

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

Hey, how you doing?

Hey, how are you?

WOMAN:
Good. Good.

Great.

MAN: Come on, get over here

I wanna show you something.

No, I'm serious.

All right, you'll see then.

Look at us.
Less than 20 minutes ago

pulling a heist,
you're up on the hill.

It's my thing, Pauly.

Jeff,
I can't go through this again.

I just can't.

Ease up, Texas.

I'm gonna take you
to a party.

[LAUGHS]

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

Devil Dan Danko.

I'm about ready to drive
you into retirement, old man.

You must have an oil well
somewhere, sonny.

I hear you got
gold-lined lifters

in that heap
you call a hill car.

Heh. I got
what it's gonna take to do you.

How about Saturday?

You come around,
maybe about 5,

then I'll see.

[♪♪♪]

It's been wiped clean,
Hooker.

Except for this one
partial print the lab just found

behind the rearview mirror.

This car
is telling us nothing.

This car is telling us a lot,
if you study it hard enough.

Hill racers.

Come again?

A breed you don't find
in South Philly, Romano.

Suspension and engine-tuned
for high terrain.

Driving flat-out on washboard
straights, hairpin turns.

You figure a hill racer
is pulling these jobs?

Stacy's preliminary look
at the stolen car victims

says that each one, up to now,
is a hill racer.

And my gut tells me
that the guy stealing these

and driving them
is a part of that fraternity.

Because they know
the kind of wheels to steal

and the terrain we have trouble
catching them on.

And not one
of those stolen car victims

had these on their cars
when they were stolen.

Suspension equipment.

Could be the answer
to stopping those robberies.

[♪♪♪]

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

WOMAN:
Ready?

[MEN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

HOOKER:
Hill racers. Nothing like them
in the world.

Gas shocks,

frames dipped in acid
to lighten the load.

Beefed up suspension.

How do you know so much
about hill racers?

Let's just say
I had a good education.

[WOMAN WHOOPING]

Hey, that car's
gonna make a run.

Traffic Detail's been trying
to stop those runs for years.

ROMANO:
I'll just get in
a little enforcement for them.

Nailing that peanut car
should be no problem at all.

[SIREN WAILING]

[♪♪♪]

Stay on him.

I'll get him.

What is going on
with this peanut car?

Oh, no.

Hooker!

[LAUGHS]

[HOOKER GRUNTS]

My ego has just been
totally destroyed.

That's what happens when
you chase peanut cars, junior.

And you,
what am I gonna do about you?

[CHUCKLES]

MAN: Here they come.

WOMAN 1: All right. Uh-oh.

MAN: Who won? Who won?

[MEN LAUGHING]

[CROWD CLAPPING]

[WHOOPING]

WOMAN 1:
All right.

[MAN WHOOPING]

WOMAN 2: That cop car's beast,

but the dude driving it
has got himself a tight gearbox.

You gonna write up
my baby sister, cop?

Maybe I ought to write you up,
wise guy, for contributing?

She begged, pleaded,
and I gave in,

so arrest me.

One day I might have to,
Dan.

There's too many cars at the
bottom of Deadman's Curve.

It's dangerous.
It's gotta be stopped.

Sounds
like you are gonna write me.

Bobbi, you get a warning.
A registered warning.

You could lose your license.
I'm serious.

[DAN LAUGHS]

You're still tough as ever,
Hooker.

And Bobbi tells me
you're still king of the hill.

Kind of like owning
the fastest gun in the West.

Always a new one coming around
wanting to beat me.

Except one.

You, Hooker. I've been waiting
15 years for that challenge.

What's he talking about?

He's saying that people choose
different paths in life.

Yeah. I took the crown
and Hooker got himself a badge.

ROMANO:
Hooker?

You were a hill racer?

DAN:
We were the top contenders.

That day could've been
Hooker's race.

But he stayed in class
at the police academy

and I took the crown.

You know,
I'm still wondering

if I could've beat you,
Hooker.

No way, Dan.

Not on your best day.

[CHUCKLES]

DISPATCH:
Ninety to Four-Adam-30,
come in.

I'll get it.

So, what brings you back
up here?

Memories?

Robberies.
Tied to hill cars.

I've heard kids got their
wheels copped, but robberies?

Bobbi got a warning
because I need your cooperation.

Come on this way.

Romano, pop the trunk,
will you?

A Stuebin torsion bar.

I've been gone a long while,

but I'd say these
are specialty items.

Well, they both are.
That sway bar is custom.

There's only one shop
in the state

that handles
a Stuebin torsion bar.

Which one?

Mine .

Market robbery number seven
went down 30 minutes ago.

They shot a security guard.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

All right, Dan.

You've done okay
for yourself.

Keeping that Porsche
fit for the hill

would bankrupt Fort Knox.

I was forced into success,
Hooker.

Look at these wheels.

Can we take a look
at those sales records now?

Yeah, sure. Come on inside.

Bobbi,
you suppose that, uh...

hunk of steel could be made
to cut it in the hills?

Sure.

Main thing is to strap down
the suspension,

get a torsion bar

that won't put you
over the edge,

and lock down the auto trans
so you can keep the revs up.

Then learn how to drive.

Thanks. I needed that.

Just kidding. But if I can
give you any tips, just whistle.

I'm whistling.

Maybe we could get into it
over dinner.

You're on.

Right now, uh...
you think you could show me

how to do the strap-down?

[LAUGHS]

My pleasure.

This is it.
Every Stuebin torsion bar

we've sold so far this year,
plus the inventory.

Can you think of a customer
you've sold more than one?

That'd be rare, unless they had
more than one car.

Or unless they wanted to rig
their stolen getaway car.

Hooker,
I really must congratulate you

on that report
on the torsion bar.

Police work moves along
when one has the right leads.

Well, you're in luck,
Conrad.

Mr. Danko here is the sole
statewide distributor

for those torsion bars.

I know.

I ran a check
through the FBI.

They contacted Interpol,
we got a quick answer

from the Stuebin factory
in Germany.

Detective Conrad,

Dan Danko.

I also got a quick answer
from our lab.

Our distributor here belongs
to that partial fingerprint

we lifted from the Trans Am.

Mr. Danko, you're under arrest
for robbery and kidnapping.

I'd also like to talk to you
about that guard

that was shot
in this afternoon's robbery.

[♪♪♪]

Dan Danko is not your man.
He can't be.

Now, he fits the description
to a tee.

His records can't account
for the torsion bars,

and Conrad tells me that his
kid sister is his only alibi.

And there was a female
on the last robberies.

She had a Southern accent,
captain.

Bobbi is California girl,
born and bred.

That's why
she's not in jail yet,

but she's still a lousy alibi.

I'm Danko's alibi.

I was on the hill
when the robbery went down.

You were on the hill, Hooker,
but was Danko?

Captain, Hooker was talking
to him when we were notified.

Thirty minutes
after the robbery.

You timed the run
from the market to the hill.

What was it?

Twelve minutes.

He could've pulled off
the robbery,

went back on the hill
by the time you saw him.

Now, the evidence
is overwhelming, Hooker.

So why are you here, Hooker?

You wanna ask me personally
if I did it?

You didn't do it.
I know you didn't do it.

But if you want me
to help you,

you've gotta help me.

Heh. Only way you can help me

is to get me a good lawyer.

That's not
what I'm talking about. Come on.

You read the papers,
you watch the news on TV.

Seven market robberies.

The last two pulled
by three bandits,

one of them a woman
with a Southern accent.

They wear masks, they steal
hill cars for getaways.

Yeah, and I'm in here
because I drive the hill.

Put that blue suit on,
you're all the same, Hooker.

I've been the roust route
before.

When you were rousted,

did you match the description
of a bandit?

Was your fingerprint found
on a getaway car?

I didn't do it!

Come on, Dan! You're not blind,

you're up there on the hill!
Think, man!

Give me something
to work with.

I have thought it.
I don't come up with nothing.

Conrad nails me
behind the torsion bar

because I represent the company?
What about the sway bar?

You go out and lock up everybody
who deals them.

Because they're custom.

You said they were on each

of the six stolen cars.

Right.

They'd have to be modified

to fit each car.

And that's specialty work.

There's only a few people
in town

who are good enough to do it.

Now you're thinking.

Name names.

Start with one you know.

Who'd steal
from his own mother.

Axel's Suspension and Brake Shop
down on East Channel Road.

Jailer!

That's a place to start.

Listen, what about Bobbi?

It's taken care of.

She'll stay with Fran
until I can get you out of here.

DAN:
Hooker.

I guess I should say thanks.

If you feel like saying it,
save it.

Till you have reason
to thank me.

[♪♪♪]

What we've got here
is you call camber and toe-in.

Whole front end
is out of alignment.

And your brakes are worn
to nothing.

Very dangerous, lady.
Dangerous.

It'll cost you
283 bucks now,

or maybe your family's life
if you scrimp and don't do it.

My good friends, the police.

I take care
of all their cars.

Excuse me, lady.

Hello, Axel.

Nice to see you.

What do you want, Hooker?

Get lost.
You're bad for business.

Good business requires
referrals. Getting many?

Oh, come on.
Fade away, will you?

I'm gonna sic my lawyers on you
fast.

This man has a bad attitude
problem, Sergeant Hooker.

Hey. You take a flying leap too,
sonny.

Axel.

Sway bars.
Talk to me about sway bars.

Seven cars
in the last four weeks.

FIAT, BMW, Camaro, Trans Am.

All to the same customer.

You're in the wrong place.
I ain't into that no more.

What, sway bars?

On getaway cars?

Come on, fade away,
will you, guys?

Back off. I'm legit, see.

And I'm a pink elephant.

Listen to me.
The maggots I'm looking for,

they're heavy,
and I want them.

Now, they seem to have
this idea

that they can shoot
security guards,

thump people on the head,

throw young girls
out of moving cars.

Listen to me, Axel.

I have to ask myself why.

Why should the people
who do that,

and the people who help them
do that,

be allowed to even walk
the streets?

Why you telling me all this
for?

So that don't forget
the victims,

I don't forget the agony
they go through.

So you send your lawyers.

Maybe I'll send
our undercover people from bunco

to check you out.

Maybe that lady over there
is one of them right now.

All right, all right.

It's two guys
and a blonde girl.

What kind of a car
are they driving?

Brown and beige GMC van.

Cash?

Yeah, yeah.
No names, no records.

I fixed them up
with a sway bar and I collect.

I don't know nothing else.
Honest.

Then why are you sweating?

[♪♪♪]

Hooker, I got an answer
from Germany.

They shipped a dozen
torsion bars

to an importer house
in Long Beach.

I tried to call to track
the importer's customer,

but they're closed. I'll try
again first thing tomorrow.

The van info come back yet
on Romano's computer run?

Yes, but nothing worthwhile.

And the hospital called,

said you can see Karen
in the morning.

Any word on her injuries?
Paralysis?

The test for that
comes in the morning.

Well, we'll just have to say
a word of pray for her,

won't we?

Oh, Hooker.
Do you have any idea

where I might find Romano?

He's not in the barracks,

he didn't sign off
the academy grounds.

Try the garage.
He's into cars this week.

So that's it.

[TAPS]

Romano.

You've been discovered,
hot shot.

I found this parts requisition
in the captain's inbox.

Right. It was just delivered.
That's what I'm hooking up now.

You admit it?

Oh.

[CHUCKLES]

You think

this is so I can whip you
in the pursuit course?

Heh. No, no, no.

This, sweetheart,

is to get our unit
flat enough to the ground

so we can nail
the market robbers.

It has nothing to do
with you.

Nothing to do
with the pursuit course?

For that, I need no help.

Grab a wrench.
You can change the plugs.

They're in the toolbox.

Platinum tips?

These are hot plugs.
What are you trying to pull?

You know about that stuff?

I built a '52 Chevy
from the frame up

in high school auto shop.

Remind me to check your car
before the race.

It's winner take all.
I wouldn't want you

taking advantage of me.

You wouldn't?

Come to think of it.
Maybe I would.

[♪♪♪]

JEFF:
Look at it.

Five grand
worth of turbocharger.

That'll be the undoing
of Devil Dan Danko.

Why don't we just shoot him?
It'd be a lot easier.

[LAUGHING]

Jeff.

Jeff, why do you want that crown
so bad?

[SCOFFS]

The rep.

The power.

And knowing I can eat
every squid rookie alive.

I'm gonna get pure pleasure
putting them

into the boneyard
under Deadman's Curve.

You get yours and I get mine.
Tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Gotta live,
gotta keep up the cash flow.

We're riding again, sweetness.
And the...

And then...

I'm gonna be king.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

Karen,
you mentioned the girl.

What about the two others?
Men for sure?

Their voices
were definitely male.

If I were to guess,
in their early 20s.

But that's only a guess.

It helps.

Was there anything special
you noticed about them?

An accent? Clothing?

The driver.

He wore a blue stone ring,
a signet ring.

He was the one who told them
to throw me out of the car.

Well, doc,
what's the verdict?

Won't know for sure
until I put you on your feet.

When do we do that?

How about right now?

[♪♪♪]

Let's see if you can make it
to Sergeant Hooker.

Come on.

Here goes nothing.

Come on.

[LAUGHS]

I did it. I can walk.

Of course you can.

[♪♪♪]

According to a certain professor
I've been talking to

you've got a lot of exams
to make up.

[WHIMPERS]

[♪♪♪]

Did Conrad take Danko
to arraignment yet?

I saw him headed back
to the jail a minute ago.

And, Hooker, I just got the info
from the import company.

The torsion bar customer
was a woman.

A Tess Parker. But it was a man
who picked up the order.

Any address?

Cash customer.

I have a woman on the van F.I.
print-out named Tess Parker.

She was alone.

Where does the van DMV to?

Not in file.

That's one the vehicle unit
is running down for us.

Hooker.

I talked to the kid
who owns the Trans Am.

He remembered Dan gave him
a cockpit lesson on the hill

over a month ago. Danny adjusted
the rearview mirror.

That explains
the fingerprint.

That should be enough
to get him out of jail.

But we need more.

More what, Hooker?

More evidence to put the real
suspects in the slam.

The Trans Am owner
cleared the print.

Dan, think.

Two guys and a girl.

South in her mouth.

They travel around
in a brown and beige GMC van.

The girl's blonde.

The guy wears
a blue signet ring.

The guy who wanted to go for the
crown wears a ring like that.

And he drives a van.

Simpson. That wimp.

Oh, he's capable of robbery,
all right.

And he had a girl with him
the other day. Blonde.

This Simpson
have a first name?

Jeff. He hangs with a crazy
named Pauly Culver.

They were arrested
three years ago.

For smash-and-grab burglaries
on auto parts stores.

Semi-rich kids, they were.

Given probation
by agreeing to join the Army.

Where I find them?

Simpson's hill car
has a personalized license.

Crown6. That help?

A short DMV should take us
right to the throne.

[♪♪♪]

Okay.
I cased this market last week.

It's go the exact same
floor plan as the last one.

I mean, this time of day, there
aren't that many customers,

but there's plenty of cash.

I mean,
they got the payroll checks

coming in this afternoon.

Then that's the one
we'll do.

And then we'll go straight
to the hill.

I'm not going.

You can do whatever you want
to me,

but I'm not going.
I can't do that.

Just say the word, Jeff.

Lady Tess likes the life,
she just can't take the work.

Isn't that right, babe?

I feel
like I'm gonna be sick.

You just be here
when we come back.

[♪♪♪]

HOOKER:
That's the girl.

We're looking
for Jeff Simpson.

It concerns robbery.

[♪♪♪]

That's a roger.
We have reason to believe

there's a supermarket
at 3460 Granville.

DISPATCH:
Roger, Four-Adam-30.

Advise all units in the area
that we're one block away,

rolling in silent.

[SIGHS]

Well, I'm ready.

And this car is ready.

[♪♪♪]

JEFF:
Cops!

Grab her.

All right, Simpson,
put it down!

We know who both of you are.

Then it doesn't matter,
does it?

[WOMAN GRUNTS]

I'm leaving here,
and this pretty girl's gonna die

if you try to stop me.

Try sneaking behind them.

I'll start the car.

Keep her in front of me.

Got it.

Over here!

HOOKER:
Stop, police!

[SIREN WAILING]

WOMAN: Look out! Aah!

MAN: Look out! Look out!

You all right?
Yeah.

How about you?

I'm supposed to be driving.

[♪♪♪]

Four-Adam-30, in pursuit.

South on Playa
toward Summit.

All units be advised,
do not join in pursuit.

Do not join in pursuit.

Suspect is headed
for the summit run.

Don't forget a bump.

Apex...

Compression...

Accelerate.

Come on. Come on.

And push it.

Slow it down.

Slow down.
You can't make it.

I'm the king!

I'm the king, baby!

You can't make it.

[METAL CRUNCHING,
GLASS BREAKING]

[EXPLOSION]

[♪♪♪]

You just weren't good enough,
punk.

[♪♪♪]

What'll happen to the girl?

Well, she took part in a crime.
But I'm sure her reluctance

will be taken into consideration
by the court.

The main thing is the right
people are behind bars.

The main thing is the right
people were on my side.

I won't forget it, Hooker.

Neither of us will.

How could I not help
the king and queen of the hill?

[BOBBI LAUGHS]

[♪♪♪]

Well, I'm ready.

It's Mario Andretti.

You won't make light
when the Phase Four Flash

consumes the Phase Two Filly
on the pursuit course, Hooker.

Let's get to it,
Officer Sheridan.

I'm afraid there is not
gonna be a race, Romano.

Says who?

SHERIDAN:
Says I, Romano.

This is an academy
with a training mission,

not Indianapolis.

Understand?

Yes, sir.

Cheer up, Romano.
The captain and I worked up

a substitute for you.
For both of you.

No kidding?

Yeah?

The secret to proper
pursuit driving

begins with concentration.

Hands on each side
of the wheel.

Are you ready?

[ENGINES REVVING]

[♪♪♪]

Hit it!

Come on!

All right.

[♪♪♪]
