Let's stop 'em
before they kill themselves.

One day your blood's
gonna be all over that hill.

- Just like your brother's.

Bobby, suppose
you knew two brothers.

One was killed,
and he was your best friend.

Wouldn't you do what you can
to try and save the other?

I wanna do to you exactly
what you did to my brother.

Shoot your best shot.

Go for it!

Hey, hot shot.

I just drove all the way
from Riverside to run with you.

In that bucket?
Glad you made it.

I want you, man.

I want you real bad.

Well, I'm here, squid.
Let's do it.

You're on.

'Here we go!'

'Alright. Here we go.'

Good luck.

I'm gonna eat you up,
hot shot.

And take this hill
away from you.

The only thing you're gonna eat,
friend, is my exhaust.

Well, look who's here.
Cadet Nelson.

Lost, little brother?

The academy's the other way.

I'm working the field
today, remember?

I get to see
how the big boys do it.

Looks kinda neat, man.

It's hard to believe
he's your brother.

Well, welcome aboard anyway.

There's your
first assignment.

And don't spook him.

Hang in there, Fido.
Nelson boys to the rescue.

Come here, Fido.
Come here, boy.

'Come here, Fido.'

Good boy.

Good boy.

Good boy. Come here.

Good little fella, yeah.

How ya doin'?

Here they come! Oh!

Yeah.

How's your new buddy?

Looks a little scared,
but he'll be alright.

'15 Mary 6 and 7, LA.'

'Check on a report of racing'

'on Mulholland Drive
North of Coldwater.'

'LA 15 Mary 6 and 7, 10-4.'

'Let's roll, partner.'

Hey. What about me?

Looks like you got your hands
filled, little brother.

See you back at Central.

Good dog.

One thing's for sure.

I'm not taking you
to the pound. No.

There they are.

Let's stop 'em
before they kill themselves.

LA 15 Mary 7..

I'm okay. I'm fine.

Alright, take it easy.
There's an ambulance on its way.

Guess I'm lucky, huh?

Yeah, this time.
Just keep your head back.

'Alright?
Keep your head down.'

Alright, folks. Come on.
Let's get back to your cars.

Let's go. Break it up!
Come on.

No, no. Not in
a million years.

Harlan, if you'd
just look at him.

There. I looked at him.
Now take him home.

We don't know
where he lives.

We'd keep him
in the station

but you know how allergic
to dogs Getraer is.

Besides that, I heard you kept
a dog of your own down here.

I had the measles once, too.

That doesn't mean
I want them again.

Harlan, we can't
take him to the shelter.

If no one claims him,
you know what that means.

The big kennel
in the sky.

Is that what you want
on your conscience?

Alright, just until
you find the owner.

I'm not running
Noah's ark here.

You won't be sorry,
Harlan. I promise.

I think I'm sorry already.

Come here, baby.
Come on. Come on. Come on.

Bobby, this racer that you
arrested on Mulholland.

- Bruce Williams.

Friend of mine
had a kid brother by that name.

Maybe it's the same one.

Why don't you give your
friend a call and ask him?

Can't...he's dead.

He went off Death's Door.

- Yeah.

That's what racers call
the last curve on the hill.

- Sorry, Ponch.
- I am, too.

I was the one
he was racing against.

I'm pretty sure
that's his kid brother.

Do you know if anybody
made bail for him?

Not that I know of.

Then it's the least I can do.

Hey, wait up.

You go on ahead, partner.
I'll wait out here.

Yeah, get some sun.

Yeah, it's good
for the complexion.

Hello.

How ya doin'?

Okay.

Yeah, so you
bailed me out.

What do you expect me to do?

Give you a big hug?

A simple thanks will do.

Yeah, well, thanks.

Do you remember me?

Oh, yeah, I remember you.

Frank Poncherello.

I recognized you as soon as
I saw you on the hill.

Why didn't you say
something to me?

Like what?
Give me a break?

I promise I'll
never do it again?

If I had asked you really nice

would you have let me go?

No, you were
breaking the law.

But sometimes that's when
you need a friend the most.

Yeah, well, let's get one thing
straight, Poncherello.

You were my brother's friend,
not mine, okay?

And I saw what
that friendship got him.

Now, am I free to go?

Yeah, you're free to go.

What does it take
to be a CHP?

Bravery...dedication...
fearlessness.

It sure sounds
like exciting work.

It is.
What do you do?

I'm with the vice squad.

Fellow officer, huh?

Uh...maybe we can spend
some off-duty time together.

Look, I'm having
a little party at my place.

Give me a call
and I'll fill you in.

Great.

And tell your partner.

Tell your partner what?

Something about a raffle
she's selling tickets to.

Hmm.

- Impound garage.

Oh, that's just great.

Well, what am I
supposed to use to get it out?

How about
trying money?

Cash

I'm busted.

After that 350
I paid for your bail

I'm left with
exactly 20 bucks.

I got about 30 on me.

Let's go get
your friend his car.

Billy Joe, this is one honeymoon

I'm gonna remember
the rest of my natural life.

Oh, it's just the beginning,
Honey Jean.

That's if this old jalopy
doesn't drop dead

of sun stroke first.

Oh, come on.

'Look at that car.'

Ooh, I hear ya, Honey Jean.
Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Hold on.

Hey! Follow me!
Over here.

Yeah, okay.
Mm-hmm.

Crazy drivers.

Crazy drivers.
What's wrong?

Freeway's not
big enough for ya?

Aw, gee. I'm awful
sorry, mister.

Sorry? What do you mean,
you're sorry?

Now, I got insurance,
so don't you worry none.

You better have insurance.

- Oh, uh, it's back here.

Keep it in a safe place.

Yeah, keep it in
a safe place.

It's safer..

Where's your license plate?

Why, it's-it's
in the trunk.

In the trunk?

Hurry up.
I haven't got all day.

Oklahoma.
I should have known.

'Where's your driver's license?'

'Oh, I'll get it
right away, sir.'

'Get your driver's license.'

Yes, sir, right away.

I wonder what's
gonna happen next.

- Hoo-hoo!
- Go, Honey Jean. Whoo-hoo!

Hey, come back here!

Billy Joe, I'm so glad
I accepted your proposal!

Too fast, Lenny.
Too fast.

Hey, what time
did you get here?

A few minutes ago.

You alright, partner?

Yeah, sure.

Come on, let's get to work
on that accident report.

The way I figure it,
he must have been doing about 85

when he took
Death's Door.

Wrong, partner.

He was doing about 85
when he tried

to take Death's Door.

Harlan, you gotta know someone
who could use a good mechanic.

The whole world can
use a good mechanic.

How do I know this Chris kid's
any good, anyway?

Because we're telling you.

A good mechanic
is born, not made.

- Yeah, I know what that is.

A surgeon's tool.

A scalpel, for performing
delicate surgery.

Wrong, it's a wrench.
You see what I mean?

Harlan, this kid's
got real talent.

Maybe if we could get
him a job working on cars.

He wouldn't get himself
killed racing them.

Okay.

I've got a friend
who's one of the best

racing mechanics
in the business.

Big Jim Telford.

He might need an assistant.

- I'll give you his number.
- Alright.

Put that down!

There's just enough
left for Northbound.

Yeah, I named him
after the direction

he was heading
on the freeway.

I thought after
Dave the dog died

you weren't gonna have
any more pets.

Here you go, Northbound.

I'm not.

As soon as Grossman
finds the owner

out he goes,
and good riddance.

Hey! That's his donut.

Come on, boy.

Harlan?

Uh-oh.

Dave the dog didn't
like Getraer, either.

Come on, Northbound.
Come on.

You stay there, now.

Frank, I just
got a report on..

Ah...ah-choo!

'...on that jalopy the two kids
traded in on the new caddie.'

It belonged to a..

Ah...ah-choo!

It belonged to a Billy Joe
and a Honey Jean.

Smith..

Uh..

They're up here on their
honeymoon from Prairieville.

We're trying to locate
where they are now.

Harlan.

Yeah?

Is there a dog around here?

- No.
- Oh.

Must be getting a cold.

Thanks.

So this is the old
neighborhood.

Yeah, this is it.

I grew up just
around that corner.

Just a second.

Frank?

Oh...oh, it's
been so long!

Oh, will you..
You just come in, come in.

Mrs. Williams, this is
my partner Bobby Nelson.

- It's good to meet you.
- Hello.

Well, uh, would you like
something to drink?

How about some lunch?

No, we had a hot dog
on the way over.

A hot dog?

Now, what kind of lunch

is that for two grown men
like you?

I'm gonna get you
some roast beef.

No, thank you, Mrs. Williams.
Another time, okay?

Promise?

Cross my heart.

It's been too long,
Frankie.

Much too long.

'Well, I've been busy.'

Can't believe
how fast time goes.

Are you busy or..

...you've got too many memories?

Which?

- A little of both.
- Ya.

Well, Chris told me
what happened

and I'll see to it that
you get all your money back.

I'm not worried
about the money.

I'm worried about Chris.

What am I gonna do, Ponch?

What am I gonna do?

He's a, he's a good boy.

He doesn't steal,
he doesn't fight.

It's just that, it's just
that car, and that hill.

It's in his blood, just like
it was in his brother's blood.

It's in your blood, too.

You were lucky.
You got out before, before..

'What am I gonna do?'

Where's Chris now?

Oh, where else?
He's out back with that car.

He's trying to figure out
a faster way to kill himself.

Please talk to him.

That's why I'm here.

To try and get him
interested in something else.

Turbo hydro.
How's the drive shaft?

Chrome. New u-joints.

Do it yourself?

- Yeah.

456 gears. 12 bore.

Tell me about the cam.

Iski. 560 lift.

There's no faster
hill racer around.

Hill racer? There's only
one kind of racing.

The kind of racing
we do around here.

You see that baby
over there?

What do you think?

Well, I think if he's willing
to work, work hard..

...he'll make one heck
of a racing mechanic someday.

It's up to you.

Sure, why not?
I'll start Monday.

You'll start now
or not at all.

You're the boss.

- Thank you, Jim.
- Hey, don't mention it.

By the way, say hello to that
grunt Harlan for me, will you?

I will.

Come here. I wanna
show you a race car.

We still haven't
been able to find out

where the honeymooners
are staying

but we do know that they're
touring the amusement parks.

So keep your eyes open
for them in those areas.

Alright. That's it for..

...for now--

Northbound! Northbound!

I knew it. I knew it.
A dog. Harlan!

He just got out, sarge.
It won't happen again.

Just got away?
What's he doing here?

Ah. I just got a call from
my friend Big Jim Telford.

- Yeah.

He came to work
right on time this morning.

Then he went out for coffee
and never bothered to come back.

Harlan. Harlan,
you get that dog out of here.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Bless you, sarge.

'I thought you were gonna give
that job a try.'

Well, you thought wrong.

You know what
you're throwing away?

Look, I'm a driver,
not a mechanic.

The hill's in my blood.

And one day your blood's
gonna be all over that hill.

Just like my brother's, huh?

Just like your brother's.

And who's fault was
that, Poncherello?

Think about it.

You think about
that last race

when you knew
Lenny had you beat.

Until he went off
Death's Door.

You just think about that.

You gonna eat that
or use it as a flare?

Are you kidding? This is the
first thing I've had all day.

I've got news for you, Bobby.
It could be your last.

- No, thank you. I'm not hungry.

Hey, Ponch. Don't let
that kid get to you.

It's not worth it.

It's not just the kid, Bobby.
It's what's up here.

All the memories,
the questions.

About what?

Lenny going off
the hill that day.

He lost control, Ponch.

It's as simple as that.

But the day you start
blaming yourself

is the day they put you in a
little white room with nurses

who look like they should be
playing linebacker

for the raiders.

Comprende, companero?

Muy bien.

Alright, lunch is over, boys.

I haven't even
taken a bite yet.

Looks like
I'm saving your life.

We've located
the honeymooners.

They're at the City Center
motel, Sunset and Hill.

Alright.

Hey, Bruce, how are you doing
with those reports I gave you?

They're all filed, Ponch,
and I even updated the pin map.

You're kidding.

Remember that monthly
mileage report?

- Mm-hmm.
- Well, I already made it out.

Hey, the kid's fantastic.

Yeah, I knew I should have
drowned him a long time ago.

Well, you sure like doing
paperwork, don't ya?

Well, Ponch, it gives me
a feeling of satisfaction.

Well, that's too bad,
because we were gonna ask you

to come along with us
to make an arrest.

Just keep up
the good work, okay?

Ponch, I hate paperwork.

Now that's more like it.
Come on.

Let me get my helmet!

You stay here.

Here

'Keep your eyes open
and stay out of trouble.'

- Billy Joe.

How are we gonna explain
this brand new car

to our folks back
in Prairieville?

Well, we'll just tell 'em
we won it, Honey Jean.

I mean, after all,
everyone knows that Hollywood's

the land of dreams.

I don't know, Billy Joe.

I just got the feeling

that Prairieville is never
gonna be the same to me.

Uh, you may be right,
Honey Jean.

But I sure wouldn't mind being
there right this very minute.

I thought you told
the kid to stay out of trouble.

He was never much
of a listener.

LA 15 Mary 6 and 7 in pursuit
of a brown convertible.

California license
1-Adam-Boy-Ida 125

west on Venice between
Hughes and Clarington.

'10-4 Mary 6 and 7.'

Billy Joe, it looks
like we're in for another tour.

Sure does, Honey Jean.

Oh. Oh, look. Isn't that--

'Well, it sure does
look like her.'

Oh, I just love
all your movies.

You better sit yourself
down, Honey Jean.

Oh, my. The folks back home
are never gonna believe this.

'I've a feeling they're gonna
read all about it.'

Get out of the car.
Put your hands above your head.

- Yes, sir.
- Put your hands on your head.

Looks like
the honeymoon's over.

Aw, now don't worry

your pretty little head
about it, Honey Jean.

There's always
the second one.

Figured you'd be here.

Just can't get it
off your mind, can you?

That last race, Bobby.

What if I did crowd Lenny
a little too close

make him take
Death's Door too fast?

It could have been my fault.

It wasn't.

Hey, Ponch.

I hate to tell you this.
You're not perfect.

You make mistakes
just like the rest of us.

And you're not the easiest guy
to have as a training officer.

'You can even
be boring at times.'

But if it's one thing
you're not, it's stupid.

And that's what it takes
to run a man off

a hill just to win a race.

I'd say he was
doing about 90.

I'm gonna ride down there
and give him a ticket.

Another ticket?

Sure, man.

But what good will it do?

Ponch?

Frank Poncherello?

Elena!

I thought it was you!

What are you doing
in the old neighborhood?

Don't tell me
you're moving back.

No, no, no.

I just thought
I'd see if Eddie Bendino

was still around.

Yeah. That grease monkey?

Yeah, he's still here.

I guess most of us
are still here.

You look real pretty, Elena.
How you been?

Fine. You heard
I got married?

And guess what?
I have a little girl.

- No.
- Yeah, she's almost four!

What do you know?

Ponch..

You ever think
about the old days?

You, me, Lenny?

I do.

We had some fun times,
didn't we?

The best.

I-I better get going.

I gotta pick my little girl
up from my mother's.

It was good
seeing you, Ponch.

Really good.

- Hey, hey, hey.
- Oh, yeah!

Well, how's she look, huh?

Just like the day
when I sold it to you.

I haven't used her much myself
the last few years.

My old lady ever saw me
anywhere near Mulholland

she'd skin me alive.

That's why I was a little
surprised when I heard you, uh..

...planned on racing
the hill again.

You heard

Lenny's kid brother
Chris.

Is that true?

Listen, how long's it gonna take
you to get it ready?

Seven, eight hours.

Alright, uh, maybe I'll
come back later.

Give you a hand, huh?

Ponch, that kid's got a real
hate on for ya, you know that?

Yeah, I know.

Hey, Bruce.

Congratulations on capturing
the honeymooners.

- Thanks.
- Yeah.

I heard that
was some job you did.

Well, it's all in being at the
right place at the right time.

That's why I stationed him
near the Alleyway.

Oh, yeah. Good thinking, Ponch.

And I told him to
keep his eyes open.

No question about it.

I couldn't have done it
without my partners.

I doubt that very much

but congratulations
anyway.

I understand that you're a whiz
at neatness and organization.

Thanks, sir.

So I knew you'd want a crack

at straightening up my desk.

Now, you can start
any time you want.

You know, when I was a cadet

we used to have
a little saying..

"The shortest distance between
overtime and vacation time

is pleasing the sergeant."

It's not gonna run
any smoother than that.

Nothing runs
smoother than that.

I knew it. You're gonna
race the kid, aren't you?

You're crazy.

You're always saying I'm the one
flying off without thinking.

Well, what about you?

Bobby, suppose you
knew two brothers.

One was killed,
and he was your best friend.

Wouldn't you do what you can
to try and save the other?

It's wrong, Ponch,
and you know it's wrong.

You call me hot dog.

Well, you're a crazy,
hot-blooded Mexican tamale.

I hate hot food.

Well, well.
You made it.

Seemed pretty sure
that I would.

Well, you know how it is,
Poncherello.

Once the hill gets
in your blood..

I've gotten this hill
out of my blood a long time ago.

Yeah, well, then,
why are you here?

To make you a deal.

Well, go on.

I'll race you.

You're the man to beat,
king of the hill.

But if I win, then you
give up racing, call it quits.

'
Sheesh.

Poncherello, is that
all you think I wanna do?

Beat you? I could do that
blindfolded in a low gear.

Then what do you want?

I wanna do to you exactly
what you did to my brother.

'I'm gonna run you
off Death's Door.'

- That's not what happened.
- Look, I was there, man!

Lenny passed you, he was gonna
take the hill from you

so you crowded him
until he went off.

- That's not the truth.
- I saw it with my own eyes!

You saw what you
wanted to see.

Lenny was out to prove
he could take Death's Door

faster than any man alive.

And he lost.

'It's about time
you faced the truth.'

Hey, there is only
one truth, Poncherello.

You pushed him off,
and that's exactly

what I'm gonna do to you.

And you think by doing it
that you'll get rid of

that hatred that's
eating you up?

Yes, I do.

Alright.
Shoot your best shot.

You got it.

Say when.

Go for it!

You alright?

I'm okay.

- Ponch, I--

No, wait.

You said it was time
I faced the truth.

The truth is,
you just saved my life.

And I wanna thank you for it.

Alright.

There's another truth,
too, Ponch.

I know you didn't have anything
to do with Lenny's death.

I guess I, I just wanted
somebody to blame it on.

I'm so sorry, Ponch.

It's okay.

Ponch, I just
talked to Big Jim.

He's willing to give
Chris another chance

if he shows up
to work tomorrow morning at 9.

Yeah, well, he'll be there.

Nelson, Poncherello,
I wanna see you in my office

in a half an hour.

Ah...achoo!

Harlan, I thought I told you
to get rid of that mutt!

'Outlaw! Come on, Outlaw!'

Good boy.

Ah...achoo!

- Outlaw's master.

Her parents are waiting
at the front desk.

- Northbound's real name.

He jumped out of the car, and
they've been calling all over.

Time to take
Outlaw home, Tammy.

Goodbye, and thanks for taking
such good care of him.

Let's go, honey.

Ah...sorry, Harlan.

Sorry for what?

You think I enjoyed
having that mutt here?

Getting under my feet,
messing everything up?

Oh, no. Good riddance.

Why do you have
tears in your eyes?

Why? 'Cause I caught
sergeant Getraer's allergy.

Oh..

Hey, Bruce.
Where'd you get the dog?

I found him
on the freeway

heading south.

Southbound!
