You know, Hooker, I love this part of our beef. Hey, when are you going to

learn, Junior?

Cops and fashion models mix like oil and water.

It's usually the models that rise to the top.

I thought you learned that three months ago when you broke off with Amy.

That's not why I broke it off, Hooker.

Sure, I walked when our ex -fiancee turned up.

Not because he was a big -time fashion photographer.

I just wanted to give her some room. Well, that's the point. She needed the

room. Behind those high cheekbones is a little girl from Idaho. Iowa. Iowa.

She's chasing a rainbow, Junior.

And she's in the kind of business where the right guy can lead her to a pot of

gold. All you can offer her is love and happiness.

What do you think, Louie?

Will they buy our furs?

They have to.

All those years.

Everything.

Riding on 15 coats.

Ah, but what coats?

The finest pelts?

Your rich designs?

You can feel it. See it.

Guns? Masks?

I thought you were coming when no one was here after they closed. Never mind

what you thought. Just get back before somebody misses you.

Let's keep it cool.

No! Not the birds!

These are big guns. They make a big hole going in the Grand Canyon coming out.

If any of you want to find out what that feels like, just get in my way.

Sounded like shots.

Stay right where you are. I got myself a real pretty hostage here. One false

move and she gets it. Amy!

Come on. Get back.

Stay right where you are.

Nobody move.

Nobody move.

Get to the car. Put out a broadcast to cordon off the entire garment district.

They've got Amy.

Get to the car, Ronald.

Move!

2 -11 just occurred at 1142 Wall Street. Shots are fired.

Suspects have hostage.

Only one way.

Sorry, lover.

This is as far as you go. What are you doing?

We're going to slow down. I'm going to throw you out.

I want

to

get that license number broadcast.

Two 11 suspects in a step van license.

William 352617.

Are you okay?

I think so.

Vince, my pain.

Is it all right?

How about perfect?

I had to take care of everything.

Louie, he watched the store.

I only did the design and cutting.

Now I might lose him.

He's going to get the best of care.

And we'll do everything we can on our end.

There's nothing to do.

Those 15 coats, that was all there was.

Weren't the furs insured?

It was all we could do to pay for them.

We mortgaged our house.

We borrowed everything we could.

You'll want to be with your husband. Let me help you.

Just let the doctors check you over.

You'll be out of there in an hour.

That's what you said the time we fell at the roller rink.

We were in the emergency ward half the night with my sprained ankle.

You didn't fall.

You were trying to hold me up.

Tell Sergeant Hooker thanks again for me.

Amy.

I kind of feel like we're saying goodbye again.

And I'd kind of like not to.

Vince. Look, I'm sorry.

We have to at least for now my life's all mixed up

Parker, every fur company in the garment district has been burning up the

mayor's phone lines, and he's been burning up mine. Now, I want effective

visibility increased in that area on the double. You got it.

Start it tomorrow.

We'll check out the security systems of every fur company on the beach.

Stacy, are you going on watch now?

Just as soon as I get suited up. We had a Garment District robbery go down.

Call communications, will you? Have them track the dispatch tickets on the

perimeter we set up. I want to narrow the response down. Tie that truck into a

smaller area. I know that they didn't get out of the Garment District.

I'll get right on it, Sergeant.

We let the furs are delivered direct to the buyer and trainers as soon as the

linings are replaced.

So they can't be identified.

You still owe Nelson for his piece.

Plus the rental on the garage where we dumped the truck. He'll get his as soon

as the furs are turned over and trainers pays the bill.

Amy!

Harry, you lied to me.

You've got me in the middle of something terrible.

They said at the hospital Mr.

Santini's in intensive care. He may die.

And if he does, sweetheart, you'll be charged with murder like the rest of us.

That's the law.

You're already facing attempted murder, Amy. Understand?

Now, we needed those furs to fill an order. We took them the most efficient

possible.

Now, when they're delivered, we'll establish the legitimacy of court

furs. And when court furs is at the top...

He'll be right there with us.

And that beautiful face of yours will be in every magazine all over the country.

Harry, I feel like I've lost a piece of myself.

But I can't get it back, so I guess I'll just have to live without it.

She'll be fine.

Yeah. Fine enough to help us fill our bid with the Jay Bowman chain?

If we get it.

She'll turn up for her rehearsal call tomorrow at Town Furriers.

How else will she get to the top?

Take your time.

That's it. Turn.

Lift chin as you come back. Good, good.

Beautiful, beautiful.

Lift.

Turn a little. Rehearse it.

Lift chin as you come back. Okay?

Vince, what are you doing here?

Evaluating the alarm system.

I see they gave you a clean bill at the hospital.

A few bruises.

Like they say, it only hurts when I sit down.

You remember that restaurant at the beach?

The one with the great oyster bar? Where you eat standing up?

You don't miss a shot, do you?

Not if I can help it.

Vince, don't make it difficult for me, huh?

I'm just not the right girl for you.

town thing you wanted me to do. It won't work. Slow down, Amy.

What's the problem? The policeman I told you about.

He's here checking out the alarm system.

Is he still hitting on you? He asked me to dinner because he cares about me.

And I said no thanks for the same reason.

I think you'd better exercise your woman's prerogative.

Change your mind about dinner. Find out how that alarm system works right now.

At 8.

I got a feeling, Hooker.

Everything is timing.

And this is the right time for Amy and me. I don't want to rain on your parade,

but you're gaining altitude pretty fast.

I don't want to see you come down even faster, so take it slow.

4W90 to 4ATM30 on TAC -2.

30, go ahead, 90.

Communications Division says the district is saturated with units less

minute after Romano's call yesterday.

I got it narrowed to a two -square block area. The only place the truck could

have been ditched is in the vicinity of Second and Market.

That's a Roger, 90.

Another place.

Frankie Poole's old storage building.

Wendell. Empty.

Where's Frankie, Wendell?

Probably on a toot.

First time he's run this place in years, and the people ain't moved out when

they're supposed to. When were they supposed to move out?

Sure, checked out today.

Do you know who the people are?

There was one guy I never saw.

What about Frankie?

Did he say anything about the guy?

Name? Business?

Anything? Nothing.

You know, Frankie doesn't say much.

Wendell.

Why don't you do me a favor? Dig around.

Find Frankie.

Tell him I want to talk to him.

And fast.

All right.

The excitement of being a model.

That's always been a trump for you, hasn't it?

Well, I haven't made it yet.

Not the way I want to.

I want the magazine covers, the exclusive commercial contract.

But I may be getting too old.

Too old?

You've got to be kidding.

I mean it.

I'm 23 and all the girls have made it big -headed by then.

Amy, what if you're just good?

Never great.

I've thought about that.

When I decided to become a cop, I thought maybe I had what it takes to be

someday.

That was before I met one who is great.

Your partner?

They only made one like him.

Don't get me wrong.

I still believe in myself.

Being a policeman is really dangerous, Vince.

Sometimes.

In between, though, a lot of hard work.

And a lot of people who need help.

Some routine duties, too.

You mean like today?

What's the matter with town's alarm system, anyway?

Oh, well, it's a pushover. That's the problem.

The alarm reactors feed into a main wire.

You flip one switch or cut that main wire, the whole system goes dead.

More wine?

I have an early call tomorrow.

Can I have a rain check?

Lunch tomorrow.

We're going to be in the district most of the day, running down a lead on the

Santini robberies.

Oh, really?

What kind of lead?

Well, we found out where they hid the truck.

So we're trying to locate the owner and see what kind of information he can give

us.

Don't tell me anymore. I'll have nightmares.

You sure you don't want me to stick around?

I'm sure I do.

That scares me more than the nightmares.

Harry, he just left.

I found out about the alarm system.

And I also found out we're in big trouble.

4 Adam 30.

4 Adam 30, go 90.

I just got a call from Frankie Poole, the owner of the storage building.

He wants Hooker to meet him in front of Delaney's bar on Olive.

That's a roger, 90.

Look out, Frankie!

Frankie, go for cover!

to the one piece and they can testify.

We've got backup units on the way.

Come and get me.

I'll get him to show himself. Maybe he can get a clean shot.

You don't have to die.

Come out with your hands up when we can see them.

Come on up.

I want the both of you.

First,

I change.

Then? I kill.

Hi.

Lunchtime. I thought I'd surprise you.

Sergeant Hooker, how about joining us? No, not for me, thank you.

Oh, I forgot the plastic cups. They're in the car.

I'll go get them. I'll be right back.

Something wrong, Sergeant?

I'm not sure.

Does it have anything to do with me?

And my partner.

I'm concerned about him.

The two of you are such totally different kinds of people.

You're ambitious.

What's wrong with that?

Nothing ever doesn't hurt anybody.

What makes you think I'd be that cold -hearted?

In your business, you deal with the way people look, their outward appearance.

We deal with what makes people tick.

You want to make it, no matter what, don't you?

Here's your mind hooker. You gonna join us? No, thank you. I got work to do.

What's eating him?

I don't think he likes me.

Oh, don't be silly.

It's just that when he gets involved in a case, it gets very intense, that's

all.

Come on.

I know a great place where you can have a nice, quiet, uninterrupted, romantic

picnic. The precinct coffee room.

Isn't that a little public, a coffee room? Nobody uses this place.

Coffee's terrible.

See, what did I tell you?

I get the police where it takes a lot more out of you than I thought.

Well, you said being a cop was going to be easy.

Things are sure looking up lately.

The fur robbery case?

That too.

We nailed one of the bandits yesterday.

They're going to run a biopsy on his background.

Do you think that will lead to the others?

Every little bit helps.

Last night, this?

You are some kind of cook.

I get by.

You know, if you tell me that you can sew a knit, it'll make my mother very

happy. Now, if you were Italian, she'd be ecstatic.

Did I say something wrong?

No, not wrong.

You're just coming on kind of fast.

And that's something you should take some time to think about.

Okay.

I thought about it.

I think it's a terrific idea.

I need just a little more time than that.

Okay.

Harry?

All right, I've done like you asked.

I just left him at the academy.

What more do they have on Nelson?

He said they were doing a background biopsy, hoping it'll tie him to someone

else. Somebody he's done time with.

That leaves me in the clear.

Harry, let's get out.

Please, let's just stop now.

You know the answer to that, Amy.

Just do what you're told.

I'll talk to Maria.

Take these mug shots of Nelson.

Start showing them that end of the street and work your way back. Okay,

only take a minute. Stacy's jeans I called. Dooley's waiting for me.

Maria, what's going on?

Just making sure everything's protected for the auction next week.

Hey, we still might get your furs back.

We found one of the men who robbed you.

He's trying to get away.

This is his picture.

His name is Douglas Nelson.

Do you recognize him?

I've never seen him before.

What about these men?

They're known associates of Nelson.

I'm sorry, Sergeant.

I've never seen any of these men. Just a minute.

Do you recognize any of these names?

These are people that Nelson associated with.

Kramer, Medeiros, Zuckerman.

Do you know how many Zuckermans there were in the fur business?

Hogan, Roth.

Court.

Harry Court.

He used to be a salesman at Town Furriers when I worked there.

Something happened.

Bob Schultz, the sales manager, fired him.

It was about two years ago.

Court, sure.

He signed for Nelson's bail on a theft charge two years ago. Do you know where

might find him?

I don't even know where you could find Schultz.

I heard he left town furriers months ago.

Maria.

Don't give up.

Not yet, anyway. There's still a chance.

I came up empty on Nelson. How did you do? Well, I got something. A name at any

rate.

Did you take care of everything?

Well, sort of.

Dooley wouldn't give me Stacy's money back.

I was afraid of that.

Did they at least exchange the jeans?

Oh, yeah, of course. He exchanged them.

He's not at the jeans anymore, though.

Romano, what's in the bag?

Dooley made this incredible buy on this stuff. I mean, Stacy's going to love it.

It's important.

What's in the bag? Let me see the bag.

Would you give me the bag?

Ramallah, you got Stacy an electric walk. How could you?

Azula gave me a choice of what he's selling right now.

I think I'm going to turn any clothes on an electric walk.

And I know she's not pregnant.

That's the stupidest thing I ever heard.

Good news is the J. Bowman chain has accepted our bid.

We got the order.

We fill it. We got enough money to go legit.

But? They want to see the furs tomorrow.

Come on, Harry. We're talking about the big time now. Over 50 coats by tomorrow?

Yes. But fortunately, we've already targeted town furriers as our supplier

the Bowman order.

And their coats are out of the vault.

for the showing this afternoon.

There's no way I'm gonna find someone to help me with this heist by this

afternoon.

I guess that just leaves me.

Get me everything you have.

If he hasn't got a criminal record, try the FI file.

And intelligence. And contact the Fur Merchants Association. See if they can

locate a sales manager by the name of Bob Schultz.

Romano, did you return my jean?

You know I was going to.

But Dooley had something I knew you would really love.

Romano. I've got it in the barrack. I'll go get it.

Hooker, tell her how terrific it is. Go on, tell her. Listen.

Well? Well, it's a, uh... It's got a, uh... Say it by the bell.

Academy Precinct.

For you, Hooker.

Hooker! Sergeant, after you left, I remembered I did speak to Harry Court

too long ago. He was kind enough to help me out.

With what?

Well, we needed a model to show our line.

And he told us about a very pretty girl who was willing to work for what we

could pay.

What was her name?

Amy Robbins.

Thank you, Maria.

I'm sorry, I can't tell you anymore.

You've told me enough.

Booker, what do you think, huh?

Stacy doesn't like his electric walk. She is going to love this wrapping.

Put your finger there, will you? That's very nice.

What's the matter?

Too much red. You're right. I'll try the blue ribbon. Romano.

One of Nelson's known associates was Harry Court.

I know. I got that from Maria.

And Harry Court recommended Amy to the Santinis.

Yeah? So?

So.

Those girls were working in the back room.

when the robbery came down.

One of them could have unlocked the door.

What are you getting at, Hooker?

Just this.

When you first asked Amy for a date, she said no. Then I see her go to the

telephone, and suddenly it's yes.

You've had it in for Amy from the start. No.

You're going down the wrong road, partner.

Then we get a lead on Frankie Poole.

He almost gets blown away before we can get to him. And you just happen to

mention that lead to one person.

I'm warning you, Hooker.

Stop right now. Will you listen to me? Just listen to what I'm saying.

She turns up unannounced with a picnic lunch. Why?

What are you talking about? What does she pump out of you this time?

Shut up, damn it!

Something wrong, kid.

I feel a kickin' in my gut.

And I think your friend Amy is doing a kickin'.

I give a chip.

Harry Court isn't buying his furs from the usual sources.

Did Schultz think Court was stealing them?

Possibly.

Court has a big order for the J. Bowman chain.

It has to be shown by tomorrow.

Where would he get his hands on that many furs today?

Town furriers is having a showing.

All of their furs are out of the vault.

Stacy, get town furriers on the line. Tell them to double their security. Let

them know we're on the way.

I'm glad you're here.

Let's roll.

About what happened.

You have to talk. No, Mama, believe me, I know what you're going through.

And we'll have that talk.

The kind partners should have.

Right now we got a job to do.

Luma rain and wheat mink stroller designed by Jason Wild, exclusively for

furriers. It's $10 ,000 at Gerard & Sons. We see it here in a

casual look with velour pants by Clayton Adams.

Excellent timing, Amy.

Like they say, practice makes perfect.

Can I go back now?

Not this time.

We need your help with the furs.

Harry, I'm scared. Please don't make me stay.

Stay in, honey.

One way or another.

Keep rolling the racks up.

in your picture.

I'm not going anywhere now.

All right, you're covered.

Slide your weapon out.

And move out slowly.

Take off your mask. Turn around. Put your hands on the back of your head.

Move!

Fire first!

You're covered.

Slide your weapon out.

What are you doing?

To reach the top.

Was getting there that important?

More important than... Anything?

That's what I thought.

You going to be all right?

Okay.

We have to talk.

Okay, talk.

What happened today in the barracks?

I was mixed up.

You were talking, accusing the girl that I was going to... Hey, I understood how

you felt.

Okay.

How are we going to square this?

It's easy.

How are they buying?

Those people are from Traynor.

Their insurance company paid for their loss when they returned the stolen furs.

And they're using the money to buy from us.

That's terrific.

How are the kids?

Thanks to a very special police sergeant.

There's a ray of hope for them.

Oh, Stacy, I hope Dooley didn't get me in trouble. Not to worry. I talked to

Dooley, and he's giving Stacy everything she wants.

You bet he did.

And I'd be very happy if you'd accept these for the children.

Thank you.

Looks like everyone's getting their wish today.

I have to get back to work.

Thank you, officer.

Hey, Romano.

Let's see Jenny tonight.

Since Stacy doesn't have a walk anymore, I'm buying.

Now, you two go ahead.

I need some more time.
