See you, Karen.

I don't need you to call. Know her?

No, but Hooker does.

How about dinner to fill in the blank?

I've met you.

You've got a lot to learn for a cop. You've got a lot to learn as a human

Officer Remy. What about her? She's dead, Hooker. You're carrying a torch,

Hooker. She left you for me. You're not only not on this case, but you better

stay a million miles away from it.

Four out of 30 come in.

30, over.

We spotted your shooting suspect going south on Overland near Rose.

Thanks, guys. Glad I have friends in high places.

This is 4 -Atom -30 requesting SWAT and a backup at 3455 California Street.

I'm under fire from a single assailant with an automatic weapon.

Here's a female hostage.

All units, 4 -Atom -30 needs help. Shot fired at 3455 California Street.

1 -Zebra -10, we're on it. Z -10, code 6 on the help call. Roger, Z -10.

This is 4 -Atom -30.

Let's move on that backup.

You inside the house!

We're back at 1 Zebra 10. Glad to have you.

I'm through.

What's it got in there?

A newsie.

And a hostage.

It's good to see you, Karen.

I've been meaning to call.

Please. I'm getting out of here.

I don't do anything stupid. You can go. Leave the girl here.

Come on.

Let's go. Come on.

You

crazy.

You're going to kill the girl.

I didn't, pal.

Relax.

Who have they teamed you with?

Wyatt Earp.

It's plain old John Reed, one man gang.

I'm getting out of here.

And she's my cover.

If you take any more pot shots, then I'll kill her for you.

Get his attention.

Cover me.

Hooker, don't be a hero.

Still looking after me?

I'm leaving.

You and that were...

You cops all talk the same out of the side of your face.

Ellen,

come here!

You hurt the girl. No one's going to help you.

You think that's the kind of nutcase, huh?

Come on.

Please don't. Nobody moves. Please.

Nobody moves.

Stay right where you are. Don't be getting hurt. Just shut up. Please

Come on.

Come on.

man is this? Please, my dad.

Please, don't. Please, don't. Okay.

Are you okay?

I guess so. A little scarce.

Why don't you have him checked to make sure?

Okay.

You pick our day in court to have all the fun. Anybody hurt?

Well, the girl got a little taken out, but everything else is all right.

Excuse me.

You know her?

No.

But Hooker does.

Well, I guess that wraps it.

I'm sure glad it was you who was backing me up.

It's been six months.

I bought dinner to fill in the blanks. You think that'll be smart? I think

be fun.

I don't doubt that.

I've missed you.

But I can't.

Not today.

When?

I'm into something I have to wrap up.

Give me a rain check, Hooker.

Call me at the end of next week.

You got it?

Okay.

Can you believe it? The mother of that guy with the machine gun is trying to

post bail for her boy. She says it's all a mistake. Love is a wonderful thing.

Not as wonderful as some other kinds of love. Boy or girl, Princeton?

What do you think, Hooker? I think of mine as wandering.

I called Judge Dobbins. He had my rundown on the case.

And with this guy's record...

For assault and battery and rape charges.

She's gonna slap him with bail that'll keep him off the streets for a long

while.

Hooker, I need to talk to you.

Well, who's filed a complaint against me this time?

No complaint.

I just got a phone call and bad news.

My kids?

Chrissy? Tommy?

No, it's not them.

What the... Come on, Pete.

Officer Remy.

Karen. What about her?

She's dead, Okra.

About an hour ago.

Dead.

How? Well, I don't have it all yet. She was alone in her car on 63rd and

Webster. What's the rest of it?

It's not pretty, Okra.

It looks like a hit.

How? Shotgun.

Close range.

Sorry, but no one is allowed past this desk of the holding section without

clearance from the coroner's office or the equivalent of same. The equivalent

same is a court order, right?

Right. At this hour, forget it. Sergeant Hooker!

Sergeant Hooker!

What are you doing, Hooker?

It's business, Tom.

Who are you looking for?

Officer Remington.

The female officer who was brought in a little while ago?

That's right. Do you have a personal interest in this?

Yes, I do.

Then you don't want to see her.

This is not the way to remember her.

She took a 12 -gauge.

Pull a buckshot.

At close range.

In the face.

Leave her be, Hooker.

She'd want it that way.

Lieutenant said he'd be here.

Karen said she couldn't go on with a relationship that didn't have children

part of the future.

I can understand that.

Sounds like a woman who wanted a full -time relationship.

Well, I had just settled Tommy and Chrissy with their mother in Oregon.

They were my first priorities.

So she transferred into intelligence.

Out of my life.

Did what you had to do.

You going to be all right?

When I find who killed her, yeah.

It's late, Hooker. Why don't you go home and get some sleep?

I gotta make sure the funeral arrangements have been had. I gotta call

parents in Ohio.

Can't that wait till morning?

Nothing can wait till morning.

Don't you understand that?

Damn it, Captain. Answer me this.

How does an intelligence officer end up on a slab after going alone to an area

that produces two homicides a week?

And nobody in the division knows anything about it. I told you, Hooker.

a call from an informant who wanted to talk.

She wanted company. All she had to do was ask. What about her partner, Reed?

He's off duty.

She was working on her own. It smells, Captain.

It stinks.

Warning, Reed.

Hooker here doesn't like the way I run my division.

Well, Officer Remy was.

Well, they were close.

More than that.

She's a hell of a cop.

An outstanding human being.

If I were to kill her, I'm going to pay her. Oh, wait a minute.

You're not only not on this case, but you better stay a million miles away

it. Special circumstances, Hooker. The captain has jurisdiction.

Then I'm officially notifying you that I'm taking one week of time off due to

starting right now.

You stick your nose into this, Hooker, I'll have you suspended.

And if that doesn't work, I'll call for a trial board hearing.

I won't be hard to find.

I didn't expect to see you here, Hooker. What do you want? Hey.

You act like you own the place. I said, what do you want?

It's personal.

I was just leaving.

That picture was buried deep in a drawer until a couple of days ago.

Karen and me.

We were close, understand?

A team.

Yeah, but you died alone.

What does that mean?

She received a telephone call.

Went out without any backup.

Why? She was a good cop. She wouldn't have done that.

Unless she had a reason.

Unless she didn't trust her partner.

Try that again.

You're a damn fool, you know that?

How do you think I got that?

Karen gave it to me.

That's my key.

Think about it.

I just came here to pick up some of my things. Get out of here.

Sure.

Why not?

But you ought to know this.

We were going to get married.

You're carrying a torch, Hooker.

But face it.

She left you for me.

Came down from Nash that the information concerning Remy's killing was not,

under any circumstances, to be released to you, Hooker.

Don't do this to me, Lieutenant.

You owe me for past favors.

I'm calling in your marker. That's sitting below the belt. You know that.

Tell me what was found at the murder scene. I had to do something. Look, all

can tell you is that it's being taken care of.

Del.

Oh.

All right. In here, Booker.

I've got a surprise for you.

There's nothing to hide. There's tire marks and an oil spot.

Maybe the killer's car.

Now, the tires on the car match up to at least 100 ,000 pair of the same make.

What about the oil?

Oil spot?

Right. Re -refined motor oil. Standard stuff.

That's it?

Yep. Come on.

Does the plaster cast of the tires indicate the size tires of an older,

model? Or the smaller, lighter ones? Heavy. How much wear on the treads?

Say less than 1 ,000 miles. And it's the type tire used in high -performance

vehicles. All right, unless that vehicle was parked in the streets for six

months. Somebody had to put on a new set of tires in the last 30 days. Oh, I see

where you're headed. My feet are getting sore already. Jim, check every tire

store in the inner city. Run the makes through the computer on any car over 2

,500 pounds still rolling the streets with a new set of those high

tires. I owe you one.

As far as I'm concerned, this conversation never happened.

Whatever works.

Hooker. How'd it go with Kennedy?

They found some tire marks.

Corrigan's checking on them.

Anything I can do?

As a matter of fact, there is.

You were going with an officer from Metro, weren't you?

Went out a few times, yeah.

But I'm not looking to start things up again.

Yeah, well, I want you to call him.

And sweet -talk him into finding out what kind of a caseload Karen and Reed

carrying on their duty calendar.

You really want me to deal with this guy again?

You can handle it.

Quick thing.

Got a minute?

Did you get lost, Hooker? Can't you see I'm busy?

Don't even think of it.

Hooker, I have been out here for three hours. That was my first customer.

I know. Things are tough.

Where's Gus?

I haven't seen the creep in months.

Come on, Trixie. I remember when you and Gus shared everything.

Before I passed around, you know that.

Yeah, but Gus was special.

Last time I saw him was a year ago.

He was talking to Officer Rennie.

Remember her?

Wasn't she found dead a day or two ago?

You got it.

I figured Gus Pearson would know if anybody had a contract out on a cop.

Well, Gus retired.

Who are you kidding?

The truth.

Gus went straight.

When he picked up all his little toys and went away, he forgot to take along

one person that was kneeled to him.

He'd done real well for himself, too.

Damn him.

Trixie.

Where's Gus?

What do I owe him, anyway?

You might try that place off 10th and Alameda. His name's on the sign out

Can I go now, Hooker? I'm not getting any younger, you know.

I want to talk to you, Gus.

No way.

Hey, what are you trying to do? Get some answers.

What are you talking about, man?

Oh, so Remy is dead.

I want to know who he is.

Who? I am off the street. I lost all my contacts.

I don't know.

I don't know. Look, I own this place. I'm clean. You've never been clean.

Give me some answers.

Last chance, Gus. I had nothing to do with killing that cop, I swear. I read

about it like everybody else.

I was real sorry, Hooker. She always treated me square. Goodbye, Gus. No,

wait. If I open my mouth now, I won't last a week. Give me a break. If you

open your mouth, you won't last five seconds.

Okay, okay.

One of my girls was doing business with this guy from out of town.

And he went to meet these people in heavy tech development.

Make that clear.

Okay. He set me up in this place. He needed a front, a business, where he

travel in and out of the country without raising suspicion.

He went from pimping to moving stolen merchandise. What's that got to do with

Officer Remy?

I'm trying to tell you something. Look, we needed protection.

We needed...

Gun. Who was your protection?

Go to hell, Hooker.

How's the arm? Wound doesn't seem to be bothering you much. You're lucky the

bullet missed the bone.

You ignored my direct order to steer clear of this investigation, Hooker.

And for all your effort, we now have another body on our hands.

Gus Pearson was responding to my question. Somebody shut him up for

Gus Pearson had bashed heads with our judicial system. That doesn't mean he

anything to do with Karen Remy's death.

The way Hooker told it, I'm not sure, Captain.

That is a gash. Why else was he killed?

Just a minute, Sergeant.

If Pearson had anything to say to you before he died, I want to know it.

It's all in my report.

Quote, we had to have protection, unquote.

That's it? You forgot he also told me to go to hell.

I was in the chief's office a little while ago, Hooker.

Now I'm going to have a little talk with Lieutenant O 'Brien.

So you have me suspended.

Why?

What are you afraid I'll uncover?

Come on, take it easy. No, it's all right.

If you check with the desk sergeant, you'll find he already has my gun and my

badge.

What happened to your arm?

Hear about Gus Pearson?

Who's he?

One of Karen's best snitches. You mean you didn't know?

Oh, she didn't tell me everything.

Did you work last night?

Look, Hooker, what I do any time is none of your business.

I tell your people to stop nosing around asking questions.

Got it?

Look over your shoulder, Reed.

From now on, your business is my business.

Count on it.

Going to get you in trouble?

All they can do now is fire me.

You find out anything from your old boyfriend?

Most of Karen and Reed's time in the past weeks have been spent dealing with

some kind of industrial espionage case.

Mean anything?

Maybe.

There might be a connection between that and Gus Pearson.

He said he was being set up by someone to act as a front to clear merchandise.

Hooker.

Take a look at this.

10 -2.

Stacy, find Karen's parents' telephone number in the directorates in the

bedroom. Phone them. I've been trying to get them on several occasions.

And I keep missing them.

Get me a time and a date on the services for Karen. And then make me a plane

reservation.

May I have a minute of your time, Sergeant Hooker? This is Mrs. Green, the

manager.

Jim, you fine -comb everything in here?

Yes. Uh...

I hate to bother you, you looking so busy and all, but could you do me a

What's that?

Day after tomorrow, I have to see my sister in Seattle. The doctor says she

to go right into surgery.

I'm sorry, but what can I do?

It's not me, it's Princess here.

She belonged to Miss Remy.

She asked me to look out for her a few days.

But now, I don't know what to do with her. Neither do I.

Remembering... how it used to be between you and Miss Remy, I thought... I see.

Well, when your plans are finalized, call me at this number.

I'll come by and pick her up. Thank you very much.

You finish up here.

You got it.

I'm going to have a little talk with Reed.

Going somewhere?

Hooker! You come by to pound me into the ground or what?

I wouldn't. You only have one good arm.

And I fight dirty.

I want some information.

Yeah, look it up in the yellow pages.

Ah!

Let's talk.

What do you want?

Did you and Gus Pearson do business?

Hey, you told me it was Karen Snitch, remember?

I never knew him. What do the numbers 10 -2 mean to you? Are they a date?

Time for a meeting? What?

Where'd you find out about 10 -2?

They were written on Karen's calendar.

You stepped in it again, Hooker.

You want to know why Karen wrote down 10 -2? I want to know.

Personal stuff, man.

It was the date one year ago when we first made love.

You're scum, you know that?

Give it up, Hooker.

You've got nothing on me.

And you never will have. We're finished.

We'll never be finished.

I promise.

More out of 16. I have a patch through from Sergeant Hooker on a landline.

Go ahead, dispatch.

Stacey, did you reach Karen's parents?

Affirmative. The housekeeper said they left yesterday on a Caribbean cruise.

Does that make sense?

No.

You and Jim meet me at the morgue in ten minutes.

10 -4, Hooker.

This is Mrs. Green.

Screen, Sergeant Hooker. About that cat, Princess.

Oh, Sergeant Hooker, I won't be leaving for Seattle until... Mrs. Green, when

Karen gave you Princess to keep, what did she say?

Why did she want you to keep her? Why, uh, she said she was to be gone for

a month or so.

She said I wasn't to tell anyone, but I'm sure she wouldn't mind if I tell

Oh, I'm sure she wouldn't, Mrs. Green.

Thank you.

I thought we were going to be alone.

We are.

They hear nothing unless I tell them to.

Can you get the money?

The money is not the question. The question is how much did Pearson talk

he took that fall.

Oh, he didn't say anything.

How do you know?

I know.

Oh, there's the blueprint.

Oh, you'll get it.

As soon as I get an even million. A million?

That wasn't part of the deal.

Ever hear of supply and demand?

Well, I'm the only supplier, so I can demand whatever I want.

I don't need a lesson in economics from you.

Do I get my million?

Agreed. I'll call you later and tell you when and where to meet me.

You are not an honorable man.

Where does honor get you?

I spent ten years throwing crumb balls into jail, and they'd walk right out

again. They'd get richer, I'd get poorer.

Regulation issue. Got the same kind of my car. That plaster cast was taken from

a police car. What? Why?

That's what we're going to find out.

You're saying Karen was killed by a cop? I am saying that Kennedy knew what that

plaster cast was when we talked to him in the office.

Anything else?

Your contacts said that Karen and Reed were working on a very sensitive

industrial espionage case right out of the chief's office.

That's right. It's beginning to smell more and more like a copper. The

is, of what?

I had orders from the chief's office on this one, Hunter.

Yes, I know. They ordered me to go through the entire charade if you showed

I did not want to do it. You have no choice. I know.

I do. Let's go.

I'm sorry, Hunter.

Any way you slice it, Herb, the clock is ticking.

Our next few hours are critical.

Yeah, the only fly in the ointment is poker. Chief's up to me.

This is the chief. What do you think you're barging in on? That's right,

Same old, Hooker.

I've got an office. Don't you believe in making appointments? What for? You knew

I'd be along sooner or later.

I was hoping it would be later.

I want to talk to you about Karen Remy.

She's alive, isn't she?

Yes, she is.

Why this rain?

Let's take a little walk, Hooker.

Check with me later.

You're running long on an empty tank, Hooker. Watch out.

It's a long story, but I have the feeling you put most of the pieces

already. Is she okay?

Let me assure you she's safe. She's at my own beach cottage.

The department phoned it up Karen's death.

Why? To protect her from Reed?

Oh, as we're a good cop, Hooker, you got it.

Somewhere along the line, Reed went dirty.

So Reed used Pearson's setup for his own score.

That's it.

The FBI asked us in, and Karen and Reed were assigned to work with him.

This high technological theft is big business.

You don't have to look for buyers.

Reed killed Pearson to shut him up. It looks that way.

Why did you bring him in?

He's gone underground.

How did Karen fit into all this?

She caught on that Reed was setting up his own deal. There were some special

high -tech blueprints for the fortune.

Reed asked her if she wanted in.

And she told him to stop it? Yeah.

She did better than that.

Came to my office and gave me the story.

It wouldn't take Reed long to catch on. When he did, well, she was a dead woman.

Decided to beat him to it, figuratively speaking.

May have been a bad idea.

She's alive.

I was told how you felt about her.

Sorry to put you through that ringer.

Would you like to talk to her?

I'd like that.

Come on.

Wait out here.

ago, the man who took the blueprints was found dead and no blueprints.

Do you want to stay on this case?

All the way.

Hello, Karen?

Yes.

Somebody wants to talk to you.

Karen. Hooker.

So good to hear your voice.

It's better to hear yours. I wanted to tell you, but I couldn't.

Well, you're going to have to make it up to me.

Any ideas?

Yeah, I have plenty of them up. We're going to have to talk about it later.

Right now, I want to talk about Reed.

What do you want to know?

The chief filled in what I hadn't already dug up myself.

All except where Reed would set up the payoff.

Any ideas?

You wanted me to go with him?

Yes, I know.

Did he have a plan?

His boat. He wanted to sail it to Mexico.

Does it have a name?

The 10 -2.

The 10 -2.

So that's what the note on your calendar meant.

Where does he keep the boat?

Sea dock, Sunny Coast Marina.

Okay.

Now, Karen, think carefully.

Is there any place you know that would seem a logical location for him to set

this meeting?

We met a contact a couple of times close to the pier.

Right next to the slip where he docks the 10 -2. I know it.

I'll call you when I get back.

Oh, no. I want in on his bus, too. I'll be there in ten minutes.

Karen!

Chief, call her back.

I'll fill you in later.

Keep an eye out for Karen.

And keep her with you.

I'm going on board.

Oh.

Oh. Oh, thank God you're here.

Oh, my God!

There he is.

Where's Hooker?

I don't know, but we better take these guys.

John intends to drop us off in some very deep water.

Go! Go!

Little fish.

Big paw.

To you.

To us.

To us.

We're still a great team.

Oh, boy.

Hooker, did I make a mistake walking away from you?

You did what you thought was right.

Yeah.

I definitely made a mistake with Sean Reed. That's past history.

What matters is that we're together again, right?

Do you think so?

You know, that's something that you do that has always irritated me.

What? That.

Answering a question with another question.

The only people who do that are shrinks and... Cops.

Right?

You did it again.

I did?

Ooh!
