All language subtitles for T.J Hooker s03e01 The Return

This is 5 William 22.

We're buying in on 5 Adam 19's hot shot
call.

Roger, 5 William 22.

What, the pride sucker?

We're dead.

You all right?

Yeah, fine.

Eat some coffee up if you want. I'll be
with you in a minute.

Now I know why you always have me pick
you up in front.

I can't believe you're living like this,
Hooker.

Life goes on, you know.

We've been divorced nine months.

Fran and the kids are alive and well in
Oregon.

Love them to death. Make them like hell.

Yeah, I know.

It's hard on you and Fran.

Final break.

In the end, what hurts the most... When
you realize that love isn't always

enough.

At least they're in God's country. And
you live in here? In a motel?

Just temporary.

Might find time to get an apartment.

You gotta get out of here.

It's the bad guys who belong in the
cells, not the cops.

Oh, third looking next weekend.

Next weekend?

Good. You're gonna look last weekend.

Dead, we looked for the Harbor Hill
rapist.

I can't believe you, Booker.

My father did, huh?

You sure don't want a quick cup of
coffee? Thanks. I already cleaned my

Harry J.

Booker, are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Can you turn off the radio?

Can't find the on -off button.

Turns off by itself.

Don't you love modern convenience?

Come on, partner. Perk up.

They're waiting for us. The muggers, the
rapists, the robbers, the killers.

Yeah, it's a jungle out there.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four. One, two, three,
four.

One,

two, three, four. All right, item 11.

The stolen car ring did its number again
last night.

As you can see from your flyers, two
Porsches and an Eldorado evaporated from

the streets of our city in the early
morning hours. Now, come on, guys.

had a partial description of two of
those car rustlers for the past five

Let's get with it.

Last item and possibly the hottest.

South Bay Precinct has been playing tag
with a gang of bank robbers for the past

month.

And they're losing, even with the help
of the FBI.

What do you expect from South Bay?
Miracles?

I'd say it's a solid police work.

Now, I hope you gentlemen don't have to
eat those words.

Hooker and I have been mapping the
robberies, and the pattern seems to be

heading our way.

Now, South Bay Robbery has compiled an M
.O. sheet, which you have in front of

you. That is right.

Familiarize yourself with the details,
hit the streets, and watch your

backsides.

What is it, Hooker?

The M .O. on those bank robbers.

What about it? Four men, large banks
only, and stocking masks.

The leader takes a woman hostage, two
other spray -painted surveillance

then leap the counters to clean out the
cages. The fourth covers the rear exit.

Sounds pretty well thought out.

Sounds like a bad dream to me.

I mean, you've seen my place at the
marina. You've seen Stacy's. There's a

vacancy coming up at the end of the
month.

I'm not sure I want to cut it in the
single scene, partner.

4 Adam 30 and any other units in the
vicinity.

A 211 silent at National Savings, 4121
Wilton Boulevard. 30, handle code 2.

4 Adam 30, that's a roger.

4 Adam 15, we're rolling back up to 30.

a one -handed man.

Can't let him take the hostage.

The one -handed man. I want his name.

His name.

Give me his name.

Give me his name! He's dead.

I wanted him alive.

Call an ambulance.

Get out of broadcast on the getaway car.

Lincoln, license EWI -489.

The one -handed man.

You know him.

Five years ago.

He killed my partner.

Okay.

How come you never talk about Johnny
Durrell?

It's just hard to...

When you lose a partner, it's almost
like losing your wife.

Day in, day out.

Your life is in his hands, his and
yours.

When he goes down, a lot goes with him.

I'm not sure how well I'd handle that.

Well, I haven't handled it.

And I won't.

Until I nail Johnny's killer.

I'll wait.

Johnny's widow remembers you with
Johnny.

That's the way it ought to stay.

Hi, sweetheart.

Sue gets more beautiful every time I see
her. You should see little John. Looks

more and more like his dad.

I'm sorry I haven't been by in a while.

This place brings back memories.

Johnny and I threw our first baskets
here.

The backboard was made of wood then. The
ball didn't come off as hard as it does

now. I got some news for you.

The man that killed Johnny.

The one -handed man.

He's back.

Back in town.

Back robbing banks.

And I'm going to get him.

I knew you'd never give up.

I want him so bad, I'm grasping at
straws.

Any straw that might bring him in.

I don't understand, Hooker.

in the hospital.

He gained consciousness for a moment,
and he talked to you.

You told me that what he said was
personal, and I'm sure it was, but I

can't help feeling that there was a
message in there for me, too. I mean, he

such a good cop.

I can tell you his exact words.

Love you, kid.

Wish I so many things wanted.

Red Ford.

Carol?

Carol?

That was it. We're gone.

So you see, it was personal.

And the part about the car.

We'd been talking about buying a new
one.

I'm sorry to put you through it again.

It's all right.

Finally, there's been time.

I started living again.

I'm getting married.

Carol, that's terrific.

I met him at little John's school.

I know it comes as a surprise. It did to
me, too.

He's a teacher, too. And he likes the
kids.

They need a father hooker.

You don't have to explain it to me. I
think it makes all kinds of sense.

I'll always love Johnny.

I'll always love the time we had
together.

But I need somebody.

We all do.

The

pickup

truck was stolen last night and the
getaway car was grabbed this morning.

No ID on the guy I had to shoot.

Crime report said they got $40 ,000 in
cash and another $5 ,000 in traveler's

cash. Any trace on the missing teller?
Nothing so far, but we're going to keep

looking. Booker?

What went down? We sealed off the harbor
and he still got away.

Did you get a clean look?

Yeah. Same guy, all right. Same one I
keep seeing in my nightmare.

Not one eye width in the South Bay area
picked up on his missing hand.

He must be damn clever at concealing it.
Just as clever as he was five years

ago. And just as methodical. The only
change in his M .O. is he switched

A plastic to a stocking mask.

Is he still toting a .22? Still.

Still taking a girl hostage.

I'm afraid we're going to find that girl
dead the same way we found the others.

Let's hope that robbery homicide gets a
line on him fast. The same way they did

the last time? He never let up on them,
do you? They never worked that case hard

enough. That's what you thought. So you
decided if they couldn't find the one

-handed man, you would. But they didn't,
and you didn't. No.

But now he's back.

And I have another shot at him, and this
time I'm going to get him.

You were a divisional narc the first
time you went up against him, Hooker.

you're in a uniform in black and white
with the front end bashed in. Do you

think that makes a difference?

Look, Cap, five years ago when I came
out of the hospital, my partner didn't,

traded in my gold shield for a set of
blues for one reason.

To get back on the streets and hit crime
as it comes down, not after the fact.

You had an opportunity to do that today,
Hooker.

Unfortunately, it didn't pay off.

So now the case is out of your hands.

Wrong.

The case is mine.

Until it's done.

Long time between phone calls, Hooker.
You were terrific.

This is quite a spot you get here.

I was doing improvement over what I had.
I was tricking and you befriended me.

Is that what I did?

Some front you and your partner had.

Flash clothes and white rolls.

Tristan from Tucson.

To me, you were better than Christmas.

Until you found out that we were really
narcs and what we were after was an

intro to local suppliers.

What are you up to this time?

That west side disco that you used to
dance at.

BZB.

Haven't been there in years. It's
closed. I checked it out.

Good for you.

You can't get over anything.

That bartender.

The busy bee, the one you duped me into.

Freddie Hamilton?

Freddie put you onto Lou Gresham.

And tracking you to that bank got your
partner killed.

I wouldn't think you'd ever want to see
Freddie again.

I want to speak to him.

I haven't seen him since the day I
turned my back on the West Side.

You must still see some of the same
people. Not really.

Look around you, Hooker.

Everything changed.

Look, five years ago,

It was my job.

But I liked you.

I liked you.

I wouldn't fight hard to like you again.

And I don't suppose it could go
anywhere.

I suppose.

But I still want to talk to Freddie
Howell.

I don't believe in old -time say
-cooker.

It's too bad.

Because that's one of the few things I
do believe.

with a shotgun. His name was Ted
Lindley.

Two priors for armed robbery and
possession and sale of narcotics. You

right. Probation said he walked through
the gates of San Quentin a month ago.

Yeah, but we just found out that he had
needle marks on his forearms, which

means he probably shot up before the
bank jumped.

That fits the pattern.

And Hooker wounded the one -handed man's
partner five years ago.

He was also a user and a dealer. Right.

Hey, anything on the bank teller? It
just came in.

Adam 15 found the Lincoln abandoned in
an alley.

She was in a trunk, shot, left to die.

She's critical, but they're hoping
she'll pull through.

4 -Atom -30. 4 -Atom -30, your request
on whereabouts of an ALMA apprentice

believed tied to the first Metropolitan
Savings Robbery five years ago.

Confirmed she is still employed at
Rainbow Pier.

4 -Atom -30, roger.

Okay, come on. Oh, there, right.

Okay.

All right.

Okay, Harvey, go!

Back so soon, Lucas?

Seems like you were here just a couple
of weeks ago.

A month.

Well, I hope the questions have changed.

They haven't. Well, neither have the
answers.

Your partner's five years dead, Hooker.
Is it time you put him to rest?

New development?

Yeah.

Thank you.

Young girl taking hospital.

Sure. Thought maybe you'd never heard
about it.

I don't.

The man with one hand was running the
show.

He was the same 22. So what?

So I thought it might jog your memory.

Might break through the shield that
you've been putting up all these years.

I know you know them, Alma.

I know them.

If I didn't know the one -handed men
five years ago or a month ago, I don't

them now.

One of these days, you're going to tell
me the truth.

And I'm going to keep coming at you
until I hear it.

It was him, wasn't it?

Hooker. Hey, hey, what's the matter?

He give you a hard time?

Lying's always hard for me, Jack.

I never do it except for you.

Hey, come on.

It's a cheap price considering all I've
done for you and yours now, isn't it?

Okay.

All right, that's why I let you use the
apartment upstairs.

I like running this round.

The kids, the people who work on the
pier.

They're like a family to me.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. We're not
going to be here forever.

Come on.

Just take care of your business and go,
all right?

Come on, Alma. Okay?

Just get out of here!

Was it who we thought it was?

Hooker? Yeah, we should have wasted him
five years ago.

Hey, this Hooker has got a bad rep, man.

Listen to me, Clay.

We've been together for a long, long
time.

I've never disputed any of your choices,
but we ought to pack it in.

Hey, besides, we got $100 ,000 in the
kitty.

We can go back to Mexico and live
until... I'm calling the shots.

Hey, come on, Tommy.

We got a nice easy thing here.

We must have built a thousand new banks
since the last time we worked this

territory. Besides, yeah, man.

You got Alma to do all your errands.
Don't start with me, Fleming.

You get on my nerves, I'm going to feed
you to the fish.

Right underneath this pier.

Hello. Ellen.

Hooker, got your message.

Too interesting in finding Freddie
Hamilton?

You bet I have.

I made some phone calls.

Found out he's running a new place
downtown.

The Malabar.

Just like the old days.

I owe you.

Keep that in mind, huh?

Thank you.

Run a check on this card and bring it
back to me.

George, don't stop with the credit
check.

I want a complete reading on these
people.

Yes, sir.

You looking for me, Hooker?

I'm just checking the place out.

What do you think?

Evelyn helped you find me. Forget
Evelyn.

Five years ago, Freddy, you duped me and
my partner to do Gresham.

A drug dealer got the idea that robbing
banks might be easier.

Ancient history, Hooker.

Dead and buried with Gresham and your
partner. Not for me, it isn't.

I'm looking for a killer.

A man with one eye.

The man Lou Gresham worked with five
years ago. He's back in town.

And I'm betting he's getting drugs for
his new boys from an old connection.

You.

You're dreaming.

Have you done any good lately for a guy
named Ted Lindley?

Never heard of him.

He bought it, trying to knock over a
bank a few days ago.

The man with one hand was with him.

You're talking about a thug, Hooker.

You're in a beautiful restaurant in a
sophisticated part of town.

And you're talking about a thug.

Mr. George?

A number one, Mr. Hamilton.

They verified directly with Denver.
Terrific. Thank you.

You finished with me, Hooker?

Now who's dreaming?

Thank you, but...

But what happened to your credit card?

Welcome. The Malabar.

You know, we have a place a lot like
this in Denver.

You remember the steakhouse near the art
museum, don't you, Charlie? I don't

forget any of our times together, Donna.

Like I mentioned earlier, we'd kind of
like to make a day of it.

I don't want you two nice people to feel
let down in any way.

I can leave here in about 30 minutes
when the lunch hour is over, and maybe

we can do a little shopping together.

Sounds good to me.

Here we go.

I was afraid he'd change his mind.

I brought along some company.

You remember George?

Sure.

You never know when you're going to get
ripped off in this world.

I knew you wouldn't mind.

We don't mind. As long as you two don't
mind doing the time.

Freeze, both of you. You're under
arrest.

You're in deep this time. I'm ready real
deep.

I've been catching on human weakness for
the last time. Now I'm going to catch

in on you. You hear me, scum?

You're going to give me what I want.

What do you want? What are you doing
here?

I just got word that the cops grabbed
Freddie Hamilton.

Oh, God.

Does he know where you're staying?

I don't know.

I can't take any chances.

I might have to move in a hurry. I need
that 20 grand that I left with you.

Oh, where is it?

It's all there.

Jack, I'm scared.

Please. I want you to go now.

Now, you said there wouldn't be any
trouble.

If they find you at the merry -go
-round, I'm going to lose everything.

Please, I want you to go now.

What is this, Elmer?

You're caving in on me?

Just lucky for your brother, Ray. I
didn't do that to him, huh?

You forgotten?

If I hadn't yanked him up off that bank
parking lot five years ago, he wouldn't

just be in a wheelchair now. He'd be
dead. Dead, you know, just like your

Lou. I think about Ray a lot.

I wish I could see him. I wish I could
help.

Hey, we can do something about that.

I'm headed back to Mexico after just one
more job.

You come with me, you can see your
brother Ray, and I can show you the good

life, huh?

But I like my life here.

Here.

When Ted Lindley hit town, after leaving
San Quentin, he had to have met a

friend who already found a connection.

A friend with one hand.

Jack Clayton.

He came up from Mexico about a month
ago.

Jack Clayton.

How long have you known Jack Clayton? I
don't know, I don't know. Five, six

years. He spent most of his time in
Mexico, ever.

Since, uh... Ever since he killed my
partner.

And he came back.

When Lily was kicked loose. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. And they both came to see me that

first night on the streets.

Where can I find Clayton? I don't know.
I don't know.

He always found me. I never went looking
for him.

That's the info on Jack Lee? Yeah.

He's got a heavy record, Hooker. Mostly
armed. Look at this. Never mind.

What about his known associates?

Here they are. Just three of them with a
rundown on each. There's Thomas

Fischetti.

Theodore Lindley. We'll scratch him.

And Raymond Ford.

Hold on a second. Let me see that.

Is Johnny Earl A. dying?

He said something to his wife about a
red Ford. She thought he was talking

buying a new car for the family. But I
got a... Here it is.

Raymond Ford.

Nickname. Red.

He wasn't talking about a new car. He
was trying to give his wife a message

you about a guy named Redford. Just like
Johnny. Doing his job even as he was

dying. So Redford had to be one of the
bank robbers five years ago. Probably

one that dropped his mask. Johnny must
have recognized him. Hey, look at this.

One of the people authorized to
correspond with Ford while he was in

his sister, Alma Prentiss.

Bingo. That's the tie I've been looking
for.

Let's go talk to the lady.

Who is it?

Hooker.

You don't give up, do you, Hooker?

It's five in the morning. This won't
take long, Alma.

Junior, I'd like to handle this alone.
There's a lot of water under the bridge

between Alma and me.

We're gonna go through this whole thing
again, the same old dance. Your brother

read Ford.

He never told me you were married.

He never told me your maiden name was
Ford.

You never told me he had a brother. You
never told me he was a bankrupt. I

couldn't.

The man he ran with saved his life.

Five years ago.

Yes, he took him to Mexico. He took care
of him.

My brother is in a wheelchair.

The man we're talking about has one
hand.

His name is Jack Clayton.

This is the time to tell the truth,
Elmer.

Where's Clayton?

I can't tell you that. I owe him.

I told you this is the time.

Another girl may die.

Another innocent bank teller. Just like
the one Clayton grabbed when he was

working with your cousin and your
brother.

You want me to tell you what they did to
her before they shot her?

No.

Do you want to help him get away so he
can do it again?

Okay.

He... He forced me to open up a room for
him upstairs.

With his friends over the merry -go
-round.

Give me the keys.

If we get lucky enough to have Clayton
and his gang, we're going to need

I'll call Corrigan and safety.

Look, there's one more thing I have to
tell you.

Clayton said that he was going to do one
more job before he went back into

Mexico. No, he's not, because I'm going
to do a job on him, one that will put

him behind bars for the rest of his
life.

They got Fleming, Clay.

They also got 20 grand in our shotguns.

Had to be Alma gave us away. Had to be.

Get on the floor.

We head back to Mexico.

On our way out, we'll take down that
bank just like we planned.

The two of us, we can handle that.

Whatever you say.

Before we take that bank, though, we're
going to pick up Alma. Take her with us.

If you must.

Stacy and Corrigan can secure things
until the detectives are out.

Meanwhile, we'll take our friend down to
the precinct.

Yeah, what then? We're off duty.

I'm not letting go of you.

I'm coming back on my own.

What do you think the odds are of
Clayton showing up?

Long shot.

Except for the 20 ,000 in a shoebox
upstairs.

Yeah, I'd like to see his face when he
comes around and collects it and runs

into four detectives. It's not going to
get that far.

I've waited a lot of years for Clayton.

He shows.

He's mine.

Four out of nine in all units in the
vicinity of 1819 South Coronado. A

of 207.

Suspects are in a dark blue Chevrolet
sedan.

Four out of nine see the woman.

Three streets over. Isn't that Alma's
address?

Clayton must have grabbed her. Let's see
if we can grab Clayton.

Hooker, dark blue Chevy sedan. It's
Clayton. They got Alma. We'll stick as

as we can and wait for an opening.

It goes like this.

I go in. I check the bank.

It looks all right. I come back out.

Then the three of us go in.

There they are.

We take it down.

And you, uh, carry out the money.

I know.

Find the phone. Call for backup.

Don't even breathe.

Alma, get out and stand on the curb.

You, put the gun down on the seat.

Real slowly.

That's a good boy.

Now, come on out.

Real slow.

Put on your knees.

Hands behind your neck.

Nail him to the pavement.

Tommy!

Hold it!

Please!

Why do you go on the pavement?

No.

I almost did it.

I must have made it away from you for
good.

Wrong, Clayton.

I'd have hunted you down even if it took
five more years.

Or a lifetime.

I owe you more than I can say.

You know, anyone, anything, anymore.

Come on.

You went to bat for me with the DA?

If you hadn't, they'd have put me away
for harboring a fugitive. That's a fair

trade.

Your testimony's going to put Clayton
and the others behind bars for a long

to come.

What's going to happen to my brother?

They're extraditing him.

He's going to have to stand trial for
what he did.

You don't feel sorry for him?

Uh -uh. That he's in a wheelchair.

No.

I feel sorry for my old partner, Johnny
Durrell.

And his wife.

And his kids.

You say it like it is, Hooker.

And you're right.

I know.

Okay, everybody, mount up. Come on, find
a horse.

Those who've been on the right, get off.

There is nothing like a merry -go
-round, Hooker.

Magic when you're a kid.

Even when you're not.

I couldn't think of a better way to
spend such a cent.

I remember when I used to put my kids on
those horses.

It was 25 cents then.

Everything changes, Hooker.

And stays the same.
