Thank you

boom boom

Hooker, you wouldn't believe the way these females carry on in their lives.

They can like this every night.

They must have something.

And his contact hasn't shown yet. It's been 35 minutes since she phoned.

I don't like it, Hooker.

Romano never should have latched on to a contact who's the suspect's girlfriend.

You paid off, didn't you?

She said she's bringing him evidence that'll not only knock off Santee, but

us a supplier as well. You have no complaints, Harkin. You're the one who

us in on this. I asked your captain for help, period.

If I'd known I was winding up with the T .J. Hooker brass band, I never would

have asked. At the moment, I've probably lost up the job, Lieutenant.

it's not the job

I've got it.

Keep it with me.

Be at table 12. You got it.

That's her. I'm agreeing to that.

You know, Gavin ought to give us a raise. If the cops ever got their hands

that picture of him and Sassy, he'd be in a slam.

I still have a better coffin hanging.

They got whatever Betty was bringing to Romano.

Look, it's Romano's contact.

She's dead.

I saw the wagon.

The man who shot her is on the way to the hospital. The other one got away.

Where's Romano? In the office. All over Santee.

If he doesn't ease off, you're going to find your partner up on charges.

Where's Toby Clark?

How do I know?

This is the one night of the week he doesn't dance.

Betty Parsons was his girl.

She told me he was working for you as a drug dealer. Tell me about it. You tell

me.

Cop.

You're the one who's been dancing and snooping around here.

I'm going to be dancing all over your face if you don't tell me what's going

Ramon, what the hell are you doing? Kimmy.

Let's go.

Keep him away from my suspect.

You're hurting from any old problems, you deal with me, understand?

What's that all about with Arkin?

Old wounds you won't let heal.

What's with Santee?

Santee had something to do with Betty getting killed. I know it. Could be.

I got her into this hooker.

Convinced her we'd help straighten out Clark.

She trusted me.

Look, the best thing you can do for Betty is to find Clark and see what he

knows.

What's wrong?

I'm just thinking about Betty's sister.

This is going to tear her apart.

You want me to tell her?

No.

No, I'll tell her.

Kate, we have to talk.

Outside.

Trouble at the club.

Shooting.

Betty was... Killed.

She was helping me.

I'm really a police officer.

I didn't know the danger. I never would have asked her for help.

Kate, I... I'm so sorry.

Kate.

I have to know.

Did Betty tell you anything or show you anything?

Maybe about Toby Clark.

All right.

I'll go.

Please.

Get in touch with me.

Come up with anything at Clark's apartment?

The manager.

A divorcee.

She thinks she's Clark's one and only.

He must have a stable full of nights. Bet he didn't show up at the club he

with his knockout brunette.

How'd you guys do chasing the guy who was killed in the car we chased?

Carl Hobbs.

Found out he's an ex -Navy frogman.

Got a dishonorable discharge along with another frogman named Beamer. Sid

Beamer?

Beamer?

I thought he was walking the straight and narrow.

He runs a scuba school near the marina. Let's go have a talk with Mr. Beamer.

My people are looking for you, Clark. Well, what's going on? You gotta call

off. Look, I phoned. I told you my girlfriend ran off with that photograph.

I even followed her to the club. I even fingered my own girlfriend to protect

you. If you hadn't taken the photograph in the first place, I wouldn't have

needed to be protected.

I was sick and tired of dealing for Santy, so I followed him to your

I figured the photograph would buy me a chance to deal for you. I don't need

dealers. Yeah, you do.

Look, the knock's all over Santy. He can't push cocaine for you no more.

Only I can.

What if I say no?

I'd have to give that negative to the police. I don't like blackmail, friend.

Look, I'm not trying to rip you off, Mr. Gavin. All I want is a chance to be

your top man, your top dealer.

You're telling me you can deliver Santy's whole network of pushers?

Yeah, but you better make your mind up fast, or the supplier's ready to move.

All right.

You've got your shot.

And now, give me the negative and all the pictures.

Well, even if I had the negative with me...

I wouldn't be stupid enough to hand it over to you now.

That's my life insurance.

You'd better be ready to cough up that negative when I deal up your first

shipment of snow.

Or you are dead meat.

Practice our underwater breathing.

Hooker, what do you want?

Conversation.

Your place or mine?

I see her into designer -colored tanks. Yeah, they match my eyes. That's cute.

Yeah?

So what's your problem?

When was the last time you saw Carl Hobbs?

That'd be cute.

I bet he was pro.

What about Toby Clark?

Who? We asked the question.

We want to know about Clark, Leo Santee, and what you've been up to with Hobbs.

Hooker. Take a look outside.

A guy'd be crazy to blow a straight profitable gig like this.

Not as profitable as drug smuggling.

And not as risky either.

I'm a two -time loser.

I think it's time to begin. I'm looking at hard times at Folsom. You better be

leveling with me, mister.

You're going to have to repaint those tanks prison gray.

I want you to help me find the negative.

I know Betty stashed it here. Come on.

Look.

Now,

I'll be back.

Remember that.

Where'd he go?

Wait here.

Even though we didn't get the goods on Santee, he's out of business.

My men have him covered like a blanket.

He can't buy or sell an ounce of cocaine without my knowing about it. Great.

What about Toby Clark?

Nickel and dime stuff, Romano. We'll get to him after the bigger fish are

caught. Lieutenant, Clark was involved with Betty Parsons, and she's dead now.

Last night, he broke into the apartment she shared with her sister. Well, that's

burglary. I'm narcotics.

Tell your boy to cool it, Hooker.

As of now, all of you are off this case. Like hell we are.

We've made contacts.

Developed lines of investigation.

If you stop that, you'll go a lot of hard work for personal reasons.

You just stay out of my way, or I'll have you up before the division brass.

Hooker, we can't wait for Harkin.

I'll talk to the captain. Get an okay to work on our own.

And see if he can spring a unit to keep an eye on Kate.

I talked to her about that last night.

She's an independent lady.

Won't accept any kind of protection.

That doesn't surprise me.

Let's get Corrigan and Stacy to check on Santee's known pushers.

See if any of them aligned with a new supplier yet.

And give me the name and address of that brunette that Clark is messing around

with. Right here. The lady's a stockbroker. Works for Hamilton and

All right.

Let's see if we can get lucky on the market.

So what happens here? One of your fishing boats dumps the stuff right here

the harbor?

Mm -hmm.

And my divers pick it up and bring it to the warehouse.

Right under the harbor patrol's nose. Yeah, I like that.

So what's my move?

You meet me at the warehouse, and we wait for the diver.

Well, yesterday you gave me time and place. What are you dragging me out here

for again?

I want you to understand that when the deal goes down, you hand me the

or you're going for a long scuba dive without any air tanks.

Think it's going to work out?

He's ambitious.

Greedy.

Tell his mother if the price was right.

The perfect drug dealer.

Phil, time to suit up.

It's you, Tucker.

Miss Winslow?

Miss Carol Winslow.

Yes. What is it?

Vince.

Oh, Vince, is that you?

I know. You didn't recognize me with my clothes on. This is what I do for real.

Well, I think I'm pleased to hear that.

I understand you're a friend of Toby Clark.

Close friend.

Involved. Well, if that's a question, Sergeant, the answer is yes or no.

I know you spent a lot of evenings with them.

It was fun.

Used to be anyway.

I wouldn't say we're involved.

I'm trying to find Clark. It's important.

Wish I could help you.

I mean, he was staying at my place briefly, but he left this morning for

You sure he won't be back?

Well, first of all, he took all his things, and secondly, he borrowed the

Sounds like a bad investment.

Well, he said he was going to pay me back after five tomorrow when his big

went through.

But I'm too smart to believe that.

Smart enough to cut your losses.

Sweet Pea Moran is one of Santee's pushers.

He usually hangs out around here.

There he is.

He just made it.

Okay, sweet pea, come on, up against the wall. Let's go.

Come on, Corrigan, I ain't done nothing.

Come on, man.

You know you shouldn't be carrying?

It's like heroin.

What's this for?

I need it for protection.

I don't get it, Jim. Look at him. He's hurting.

How come he didn't fix?

Because he's waiting for the other half, aren't you, sweet pea?

A heroin and cocaine sandwich, a little speedball.

Who's your new man?

I don't know.

Okay, Stace, cuff him.

Hey, I swear, I don't know. He's a big blonde guy.

Kind of a strong looking.

Clark? Bet on it.

Okay, sweet pea.

You get a free ride this time.

But you won't be needing this because you don't have anything to protect.

You mean you're going to take my stuff?

I have a new diet for you, pal.

Called Cold Turton.

Parsons at the Princess Louise restaurant.

Boy, I'm 30, Roger.

watch my mouth okay where is the negative look i know betty mailed it to

where is it in the purse you got it on you don't you give me a purse give me

purse

Kate. Kate.

What happened?

Hey, take it easy, partner.

I'm sure Kate isn't hurt that badly.

Maybe my skin isn't as thick as yours with her, but that girl in there lost

sister because of me. And now she's being beat up because of me. We're not

about that. You want to bet on it? No, what I want to do is get the facts and

something about them.

We have to hurt her.

You know how hard Kate's worked to build a life for herself?

What makes your day just to talk to her?

We can't let anything happen to her.

She was shaken up. A minor concussion, but she'll be okay.

Can we see her?

I gave her a sedative. She could use a rest.

Maybe just one of you.

very sad about what happened to betty and you i

care about you

a

photograph that must be what betty was going to give

me what was in the photograph

Dad said you were here.

How's Vince taking it?

Hard.

He's carrying a lot of guilt about Betty and now this with Cade.

He came over for coffee last night. Couldn't stop talking about Cade.

Well, don't blame him. She's an appealing lady.

You turn anything on Clark?

We didn't find him, but he's out there.

According to what we got on the street and from Sweet Pea, I'd say that Clark

has his eyes on Santee's territory, trying to cut Santee out.

Looks like Lieutenant Arkins tagged onto the wrong man.

Yeah, you tell him.

He's not about to take any advice from me.

She's resting.

Told me Betty was bringing me a photograph.

Mail the print and the negative to Kate.

What kind of photograph?

Santee and another man making a big drug buy.

Probably a supplier.

Did she know him?

No, but she'd recognize him if she saw him.

If it's Santee's supplier, Santee'll know who it is.

And Clark is connecting with the supplier at 5 o 'clock tomorrow.

You two keep looking for Clark.

We'll light a fire under Santee.

starts at 9, gentlemen.

What do you say we come in and wait?

You disappoint me, Santee.

I never thought you'd let a punk like Toby Clark move in and take over. Hey,

man. All I do is run this club.

If you ever want a moonlight, let me know. My customers have been asking

you. I got a news brief for you.

Your ex -supplier has a shipment coming in at 5 o 'clock this afternoon.

We figure you'd have a real good idea where it's being delivered.

Say I do.

Why would I tell you?

Revenge. Payback for being cut out. If this is Clark's supply, it'll put a real

crimp in his operation if the deal falls through. We figured he'd have a real

good idea where it's being delivered.

Let's go, partner.

Mr. Santee isn't as smart a businessman as I thought.

Hooker.

Yes.

Rumor is there's a warehouse and a Pier 12.

Could be it's used as a drop site.

And what does rumor say about who's bringing the cocaine in?

If I happen to be in the drug business, I'd want to keep a hustler like Clark

out of it.

And maybe I'd want to hurt the man who cut me off when things got rough.

And you're too scared to roll over on him. Oh, no.

Too smart.

We'll be in touch.

Count on it.

Get on the horn to Stacy and Corrigan.

You better tell Arkin, too. He's not going to like it. What else?

430, 416, attack two.

Take it inside.

We wait and check it out now, right?

We wait and check it out when I have a negative imprint.

All right, Mr. Gavin, no problem.

Okay, get the boat ready.

Ten kilos of evidence up in flames. Better than having it up hundreds of

You came close, damn close. Close only counts with hand grenades.

You were out of line, Hooker. You should have waited until our units got there.

The suspects started a firefight.

We had to defend ourselves.

Let's face it, Ark, no matter what happened, you'd have hated it. You've

your perspective.

You're letting five years ago screw up what's happening now.

You are right on the edge, friend.

You don't know how much I want to lay an insubordination charge on you. Be my

guest.

I'm ready any time you are.

Keep digging for Clark, right?

Shall we find him? Thought we'd stop by the county recorder's office, find out

who owned the warehouse.

Let me know what you find out.

I'm trying to keep it together, Hooker, but it's getting to me.

Everywhere we turn, it's a dead end.

But now the dead end is water.

Water and scuba divers.

Sid Beamer.

We're looking for Beamer.

Oh, maybe that explains why he isn't here.

He in trouble?

Let's just say we hope you haven't paid for a lot of lessons in the band.

Oh, maybe I'll just borrow some of his equipment to cover my loss.

You know, most of the dust on this boat.

How do you like my new school outfit?

Great, thanks.

Check this.

A bullet grazed this tank.

It's like the lead in the crease. It's recent.

How about yesterday at 5 o 'clock?

Photographed Beamer in his Navy days.

It's his frogman team. There's Hobbs next to Beamer. Let's get an APB out on

Beamer. And then hit the streets. Somebody out there must have a line on

4 Adam 30, meet 4 Adam 16 on tap 2.

4 Adam 30, roger.

This is 30, go 16.

We had to dig through a bunch of dummy corporations, but we finally turned up

the warehouse owner.

His name is Paul Gavin.

He owns a commercial fishing fleet.

Paul Gavin. That's the name of the lieutenant in the photograph of Beamer's

frogman team. Ask Stacy if she knows where we can find Gavin.

Stacy, you got an address on Gavin?

Gavin Fishing Enterprises, Pier 8.

Thanks, Stacy.

Gavin. Sergeant Hooker, this is Officer Romano.

Have we met before, sir? No, but I've seen your picture on Sid Beamer's boat.

I haven't seen him since he left the Navy.

Didn't know he was located in this area.

Oh, really?

We were wondering what he was doing in your warehouse yesterday.

Warehouse?

Oh, the place that burned down.

Funny about that place. I bought it but never used it.

The fire was started by some gunfire.

That's right. And Beamer was involved.

Well, I think you ought to be asking him these questions.

We will, as soon as we can find him.

Well, if that's all, I'd better get back to business.

I'm running an inspection on this boat. That's your privilege.

We'll be around when you get back.

Okay, let's go!

He smells fishier than his boat.

Yeah. Let's get back to Beamer's.

Pick up that photograph of the frogman team.

Show it to Kate.

I have a hunch you might be able to recognize Gavin, the man in the

with Santee.

Anything wrong?

Something's damn wrong.

I turned myself inside out trying to keep a low profile, and you have my

hanging in your lousy boat.

Your picture?

The frogman team, I hung it up in there to make the school look legit. The cops

saw the photograph.

Their nose hanging around.

I think we've really got a problem here, Mr. Gavin.

Like what?

Well, that photograph in negative of you and Sandy, Betty Parsons mailed to her

sister before your man had a chance to shoot her. You're telling me she saw the

photograph? Well, I took it from her to give it to you.

If the cops show her that picture of the frogman team, she'll ID you.

We'll have to make sure she doesn't see your picture.

I want her to disappear so there's no killing for the police to investigate.

You mean Deep Sixer? Unless you have a better idea.

Kate's car is here. What could have happened to her? Nothing good.

I blew it again, Hooker.

I shouldn't have let her turn down protection this time around.

Couldn't force it on her.

It was up to her.

We both know Kate makes her own decisions.

Doesn't change the fact.

She was a target. I let someone get her.

Gavin.

Clark must have told him that Kate saw the photograph.

Could identify him.

We've been looking for Clark ever since Betty was killed. We haven't come close

to finding him. Now that Clark's taken over for Santee, he's going to have to

surface and contact Santee's pushers. And we know one he's already contacted.

Sweet Pea Moran.

Get on TAC -2.

Get Stacey and Corrigan.

Tell them to find Sweet Pea.

I want to talk to him.

Part of 30, part of 16, TAC -2.

He wasn't hard to track.

He can barely move.

I'm going to be okay.

I am okay.

You'll see.

You mentioned Toby Clark.

Where's Clark?

Where did you see him?

Easy, sweetie.

Easy.

Maybe you won't have to wait for Clark.

But you're going to have to help me.

Did Clark say he was going to wait for delivery?

Uh -huh.

Daddy's going to pick the snow up at the beach.

It's funny.

The snow at the beach? What beach?

The one by the old fort.

Coral Beach?

Yeah.

Now you're going to help me? Yeah.

We'll get somebody here who can really help you.

Easy.

You be cool.

I'll call the detox unit. Have them pick up Sweet Pea.

Coral Beach.

It's wide open except for the construction house. And the dredging

Secluded enough to land frogmen.

Starts to be here any minute.

Then we'll have the boys take the lady out and dump her.

Get ready for your return trip, Beamer.

I'll take it.

A muscle twitches and I drop it.

Put your hands on your head.

Come up!

All right, Gavin, turn around nice and slow.

Any news from Narcotics Division?

Just heard Arkin's men track down a Colombian tanker that was feeding

fishing boat.

The Coast Guard confiscated 50 kilos of cocaine.

Good, that'll keep a lot of poison off the streets for a while.

You know, I still don't get it. Why don't you give Arkin your collars? Do

owe him something or what? I owe him nothing.

Well, let's face it, he's a good cop. He pushes a little hard, but he gets the

job done. That's what counts.

Yeah, you got that right.

We'll catch up with you at Sherry's.

You're gonna have to get along without me tonight, partner. You got a hot date

tonight? Yep.

Miss Wetsuit?

Hi, Kate.

Good to see you.

Oh, sure. I learned signing in case I ever met

a beautiful lady like you.

Dinner tonight?

Now, hold on.

Thanks for the invitation.

But... Two is company.

Three... Hey, watch your language, Junior.

There's a lady present.
