King 10, this is 4 King 22.

Here we go again, Lieutenant. Second time I've tailed him past this

Stay with him, O 'Brien. We'll continue to parallel you.

Well, what do you think, Hooker? We got a bad tip?

Nah, they're itching to keep it.

It's just a matter of feeling right about the place they've picked.

I tell you, working with this guy all those years, Romano, he's got instincts

that won't quit.

Yeah?

Too bad his instincts don't extend to banking.

Oh, really?

Financial problems, Hooker? I ran out of checks.

Can't seem to get any more.

Computer lost a deposit of mine.

I keep getting the statements of T .R. Booker. He probably gets mine.

If you banked at Ascot Savings, you would get dynamite service, Hooker. I'd

to that personally.

Her name is Crystal.

Or King 10, this is King 22.

Looks like they're making their move. They're in the alley behind the ringside

liquor store.

I'll eyeball the front.

King 23 takes the north end of the alley. We can hold down the south end.

King 23, this is King 10.

You've got the north end of the alley. I'll stay with the command post in the

black and white.

Robbery confirmed.

Suspects have the money. They're coming out the back.

King 43, it's a go. Repeat, it's a go.

almost had me.

I owe you one, Hooker.

I recall saying the same thing to you 17 years ago.

And with your retirement coming up, I didn't think I'd get a chance to get

either.

Okay.

Breathe.

And down.

Thank you, everybody.

See you all tomorrow.

Hey.

That's working out.

Thanks. How about you and me getting together for that dinner I've been

about? Oh, thanks anyway, Larry, but I'm really tied up, okay?

Sure. Some other time.

Right. Bye.

Don't scream again or you'll never finish it.

Sweet Val.

Sweet, sweet Val.

That same way we took down the Mosley brothers.

No kidding.

That collar's a legend in the police department.

I didn't know it was you two who took down the Mosleys. Neither did they. I

thought it was too late.

Units in the vicinity and 4 Adam 16.

A possible rape just occurred in the underground garage.

1705 West Van Buren. 4 Adam 16. Handle code 3. That's our area.

What the hell, Lieutenant?

Oh, daughter of Bono.

Excuse me.

Valerie.

It's me, Hooker.

What the hell, honey?

Daddy.

Daddy. Oh, sweetheart.

Daddy. Who did this to you?

Come on.

They'll take her to the hospital. She'll be okay.

Get her to the hospital. Roll.

We have a witness.

Oh.

You're right about.

I'll keep you filled in.

She's all I've got, Hooker.

This was 20 feet from the suspect.

Black clothes, black mask gloves.

Something shiny in his hand.

Not much to go on.

Which means we're going to have to count on the victim to nail him.

Dr. Kaufman, telephone please.

Dr. Kaufman?

How's Beth?

I can't get any answers.

She's sedated, that's all they tell me.

Except wait.

Don't pull us all together despite what's happened.

I asked a professional from the Rape Crisis Center to come down. And Paul,

captain has authorized me to take Val's statement.

You don't have any other evidence?

All the witness saw was a man dressed in black with something shiny in his hand.

Telephone.

born here in this hospital.

I brought you and Sharon here in a black and white, remember?

I'll never forget that night as long as I live.

I was ten feet off the ground.

I was handing out cigars to everybody.

In pain.

Physically, she'll be okay.

But her emotional state is a little shaky.

Five minutes, Lieutenant, okay? Okay.

Yeah,

she'll be all right.

Daddy.

I tried to stop him.

He wouldn't. I know. It's all right. It's all right, baby.

Oh, God.

I feel so violated and empty.

So dirty.

Val.

We still have to find him.

Black clothing.

And a chrome automatic that he held against my head.

He was wearing a mask.

Black.

But it was more than a mask. It was like a hood.

Like a black hood.

you know the suspect?

I recognized his voice.

He's a member of the health club, an attorney, I think.

How long have you known him?

What are you thinking? I didn't do anything. He's a member of the club. He

me out and I turned him down. I didn't do anything. Baby, baby.

Honey, it's all right. I meant nothing by the question.

I swear it.

I promise.

How's the practice of law treating you, lady?

Sweet. How are you?

Fine, Sergeant. Thank you. That attorney over there, is that Lawrence Foster?

Yes, that's him.

Thank you.

Excuse me, Mr. Foster.

Yes, what is it? I'm Sergeant Hooker. Your client's going to need a new

attorney.

You're going to jail.

Really? The rape of Valerie McGuire.

Sergeant, you're taking a dangerous step towards some very serious litigation

here. I think you better ask yourself, do I look like a rapist? You tell me

a rapist looks like.

And I'll show you what a cop's daughter looks like after she's been raped.

Suspect number one, repeat after me.

Val, sweet Val, sweet, sweet Val. Val, sweet Val, sweet, sweet

Val.

It's through the mask.

Are you sure I'm close enough?

Suspect number two, repeat the same phrase.

Val, sweet Val, sweet, sweet Val.

Number three, repeat the same phrase.

Val.

Sweet Val.

Sweet, sweet Val.

I think that's him.

Are you sure?

Pretty sure.

Are you positive?

She said it was him.

Lieutenant, I don't want to have to ask you to leave.

Now, do you want to hear the fourth one, Miss McGuire?

No. At first I thought it was number one, but the last one sounded like Larry

Foster.

I'm almost positive.

Almost, but not quite.

What do you want, Tyler?

You can dismiss the prisoners.

That'll be all.

He did that, Tyler. Not us. He took off his own mask.

McGuire's right.

Val said it was Foster before he took off the mask.

It's him.

What's wrong with you? It is him.

Chuck, it's a lawyer's trick.

You both know the charging standards of the DA's office.

Now, ignoring the lawyer's trick, there's nothing to corroborate the voice

identification, and the lady wasn't positive.

But she was.

Not beyond a reasonable doubt, Lieutenant. I'm sorry.

Chuck, come on.

She said she knew it was Foster.

I heard what she said. I heard her doubts.

It's just not enough.

Now, you have to come up with some form of corroboration for us to prosecute.

Until then, I'll have to order Mr.

Foster's release.

Paul, listen to me. I knew this was going to happen. Why should it be

for my kid? Paul, listen.

I'll dig. I'll plant myself on Foster and turn up the corroboration we need.

Another promise, Hooker?

No. We all know how the law works these days. It's time we stop fooling

ourselves. Maybe time for me to take matters into my own hands.

It just doesn't seem right that sicko Foster could walk right out of here. It

isn't, and it's up to us to change it around.

How? The DA's already ruled.

The door is still open.

Foster is twisted and manipulative. That says to me that Val McGuire isn't a

first.

The reason you asked for his NCIC background file.

You bet.

Hey, that's my car.

Hey, you, stop!

Hey, that truck is throwing away my car!

Why didn't you stop that truck? I tried to, Hooker, but they had papers. It's

being repossessed.

But I only had one payment left on my loan. I sent in a check for last month's

payment. You can't do this to me! They can if you're with the wrong bank.

With Crystal, this never would have happened.

Crystal? I don't care. I don't care how many times you check the building. I

want every apartment door knocked on until every resident has been

Paul.

You have a package there that I asked Stacy to run down for me? It's out of

bailiwick now, Hooker. Maybe.

But it's not in yours. Hey, I'm in charge of detectives.

Then take yourself off the case. Booker, I'm a father trying to protect

daughters like yours.

And I'm a friend trying to protect you from yourself.

You're up to your armpits in a motion.

You're about to put everything you've worked for on the line. What I'm putting

on the line, Sergeant, is my affair.

And you, Officer Sheridan, I expect you to follow my orders without discussing

them with everyone in the station.

Is that understood?

Is there a problem, Lieutenant?

No, there's no problem.

I'm just conducting an investigation.

I don't want to be interfered with.

Well, it's going to happen in this case, McGuire. I want you to stay clear of

it. This character, Foster, plays the law like a violin, and he'll be all over

this department if you harass him. Don't throw the law up to me, Captain.

I've worked my whole life for the law. Now when I need help, I can't get it

because of scum like Foster punching so many holes through it.

Come on, Paul. You've worked these kind of cases before. Yeah, yeah, I've worked

them before.

Yeah, here.

Here's your precious research hooker. Take a look. Look at this. Here.

been there before. New York, Washington, D .C., Baltimore.

Picked up for rape release.

Insufficient evidence.

That's what I figured. It's a beginning. No.

No, it's further evidence that an animal like Foster can do whatever he wants,

whenever he wants, and gets away with it. But, Paul, give me some time.

I've got a theory that... No.

You've had your turn, Hooker.

Now it's mine.

This is going to prey on your mind.

Until you hear a jury say that he's guilty.

And then you'll be free of him.

I'm going to be going out for a while.

I've got a lead I have to follow through.

I know this is tough for you.

But I'm going to find a way to work it out.

I promise you.

The legal theory is solid.

Now what I need is a victim on you to go with him.

How?

Those other rapes were all out of state.

M .O., Junior, that spells pattern, which spells the ability to develop

cumulative evidence, something to back up Val's voice -only identification.

And that backup means finding a prior rape victim. Let's keep digging.

Maybe tomorrow we can bring the Maguires some good news for a change.

You mean repair a strained friendship?

Long worth repairing.

What do you mean I should be more responsible?

Some pea brain in your bank pushes the wrong computer button and wipes me out.

My car's been repoed.

Oh, you're the woman who takes care of the computer.

Well, if the shoe fits... Hello?

Hello?

Good news.

On the prior rape... victims one from baltimore a lady lawyer she lives here

we don't have an address but the name might sound familiar marcy wade public

defender very nice of it our cumulative case is beginning to cook you

Don't scream again or you'll never finish.

You know what I mean, sweetheart?

Sweet, sweetheart.

Units in the vicinity and 4 Adam 30. A woman screaming.

Possible assault in progress at Glen Park Plaza.

Subterranean parking level 2.

4 Adam 30. Handle code 3.

This wait is going to have to wait.

4 items, 30 roger.

That girl over there, she's just been raped. The guy in some kind of black

he just took those stairs.

Handle the girl.

Good time, maggot. You stay inside.

Here's your case, Chuck.

Taylor's back in jail.

New victim is in the hospital.

I interviewed her. He asked her to dinner 15 minutes before he attacked

turned him down.

She can voice ID him.

And she's willing to testify.

It's still a voice ID.

But I have to admit, it's starting to come together, isn't it, Hooker?

NCISC turned up three other rape cases, New York, Baltimore, Washington, D .C.

Same M .O. was used, and one of the victims lives here now.

Sounds like we're putting together a pretty good cumulative package.

Everything fits except this.

The one time he's actually caught near the scene of the crime, the M .O. is

different. He's using a knife instead of a gun, which makes it a little shaky.

Oh, sorry.

Didn't mean to interrupt.

Lieutenant McGuire asked me to come down and file Valerie's case. We found the

evidence to corroborate her voice ID. Evidence? What evidence?

Witness found it at the original scene.

Registered to foster.

Maybe that explains the change in M .O., Hooker.

I'm not sure what it explains.

What's up?

My back, Paul.

You're my friend.

And I'd like to save you from a lot of grief.

But you just screwed up a chance for the DA to file on Foster.

Maybe you haven't heard.

I got Foster cold.

No, Paul.

I had Foster cold this afternoon.

Same M .O.

Another voice I .D.

And I was headed for the stretch with a case.

When you said it all back again, he could be cut loose. Cut loose?

I tell you Foster is dead in the water.

I sent O 'Brien to the DA's office a couple of hours ago with a piece of

evidence that's going to bury Foster.

Yeah, I know. I was there.

I brought this back.

Because the only person it could bury is you.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about planted evidence.

I'm talking about Foster pulling every legal string in town to rid out of jail.

Because you contaminated a case that was starting to look pretty damn good. What

are you saying, contaminated?

You broke into Foster's apartment, didn't you?

You had to.

Because I searched that garage.

And it was clean.

So you missed the gun. You're not perfect, Hooker. You're using one of

men to build a house of cards that's going to come down on you.

All right.

Now listen.

If you say that you could have missed the gun in that garage, it'll work,

Hooker. We can make it work.

You know that?

It's the only way, Hooker. The guy's got to be punished.

No, Paul.

The case I had going is the only way.

No, you're wrong.

They wouldn't have filed without that gun, without that kind of evidence, and

you know it.

What have you got?

You got another voice ID.

You just said it yourself.

Foster's pushing for another writ, and he'll walk away, Hooker. He'll walk away

again. Yeah, he might.

If you don't turn it around.

And if he does...

You have yourself to thank for it.

This is wrong, Paul.

Dead wrong.

Everything you're doing is getting in my way, hooker.

You're pushing your luck, Paul.

Bailiff said you wanted to see me, Sergeant. Yes, about the same man that

were looking for in here the other day, Lawrence Foster.

I'm sorry, I can't help you.

We're building a case against him, Miss Wade.

We need your help.

What kind of case?

Same as yours in Baltimore.

Rape.

I tried to prosecute them, but all I had was a voice identification.

Not enough for a judge and a jury.

I moved out here from Baltimore to start a new life and a new career.

And then Foster shows up here two months ago.

I can tell you one thing.

This time I do not intend to run away.

He says you had a case against him.

Anything solid?

Well, it was solid until now.

Good cop went sour.

I have to rehabilitate the case with the DA.

If we could get somebody like you, an officer of the court, to help build a

cumulative case against him, we just might be able to put Foster away.

What about him, R .C.? Will you help us?

You don't have to tell me what the boss is getting away with.

Captain, I'm asking you to listen to me. Look, I'm through listening to you.

I've given you every possible chance, and you've left me no alternative but to

step in.

Well, here's my old friend, Hooker.

Why?

Why'd you have to burn me, Hooker?

What are you talking about? Come on. You know damn good and well what I'm

talking about.

Hooker had nothing to do with this.

The D .A. called, concerned about where the case was headed after Hooker and O

'Brien left his office yesterday.

He's also concerned about a release writ that Foster is processing, alleging

false evidence.

Now, you black bag, Foster's apartment.

You stole this gun, you planted it, you made up these phony records.

Now, I don't need anyone to show me the trail of evidence in and out of the

property room to smell out your misconduct for myself.

I'm sorry, Paul.

But you forced me to take away your badge and your gun until a board of

convenes to determine your fitness to remain a police officer.

And with the kind of support I can offer, the DA's office will have two

cases against Foster.

The flight of Lieutenant McGuire's attempt at planting false evidence.

My father just wasn't himself, Mr. Tyler.

I wish I would have understood that sooner.

Chuck, the department is taking formal disciplinary action against Lieutenant

McGuire.

What about you, Miss Armstrong?

Oh, you bet I'll testify.

Sounds to me like the case has been rehabilitated.

What about it, Chuck?

I think we have a conviction in our pocket.

Where's the rest?

Open up, officer.

Come on, open up. I haven't got all day. I'm taking the prisoner to be

arraigned. Lieutenant, I don't have a notice of transfer. I can't be

for every breakdown of communication.

Let me in there.

Look, why don't I just call the captain? No, no, no. The captain's not in. If I

don't have this man in front of the judge in 22 minutes, he's going to walk.

Come on, open it up.

You're going downtown to be arraigned. Arraigned? There's no felony arraignment

after 3 o 'clock. Lieutenant Hito.

Put these on.

Quick.

Come on.

Step inside.

I'm not going anywhere with you. Try to get away from me and I'll blow your

rotten head off.

Stop him! He's kidnapping a prisoner! Stop him!

Don't do it!

You're crazy. You're never going to get away with this. Why not? You got away

with raping my daughter.

Your daughter? Yeah, my daughter. That's why you're so special to me. That's why

I picked a special place for you to die.

Paul.

Don't try to stop me, Hooker. Oh, for God's sake, listen to me. I'm listening

up.

I talked to the DA.

He feels there's enough.

Paul, no.

Get on the horse. Tell him what's going down.

And tell them those shots are to be fired.

Don't put too much hope in it being saved.

It catches as you die now.

Come on, get out of there.

Come on!

Hurry up!

Paul! Stay away, Hooker!

Paul, don't destroy everything you've ever worked for. I think it was worth

Stop him, Hooker! Shut up, you slime!

You wouldn't.

Don't make me find out.

Come on.

Come on. Let me hear you beg.

Beg. Like I made those women beg.

Like I made my daughter beg.

Beg. You're pushing me, Hooker.

I guess we're both going to have to find out.

I'm your friend, Paul.

But I'm not going to make it easy on you.

He has to die, Hooker.

Put your gun away.

Don't make me take you down.

He has to die or there's no justice. There is justice.

I talked to the DA.

He's going to file.

Press charges on accumulated evidence. Get away from me, Hooker. Leave me

He's convinced enough to put him away for good.

Hooker, it's not going to work. I don't believe it.

Believe it.

I've never lied to you, Paul.

I'm not going to start now.

It's all over for Boston.

Hold still your gun.

Pull yourself together, damn it.

Decide who you're going to kill.

Strength runs in your family.

Hey, hang in there.

I'll be with you right to the end of the trial.

I think maybe they're gonna love getting a cop on the chopping block.

But I did cross the line, Hooker.

Thank God you were there to stop me.

Well, maturity weighs your years of commitment against that animal who

your daughter.

Who knows what the verdict will be?

I'll leave you two to talk.

Something wrong, Romano?

No, not at all.

This just came for you.

It's your gift for opening your new bank account.

Oh, it must be my clock radio.

You see, Hooker, it's like this.

The value of the gift is in accordance with the amount of deposit that you put

in the bank.

They didn't have anything smaller.

Teddy bear.

I want a clock radio.

I'll take this up with Crystal. She's handling my new account. I want the

radio. I've been wanting to talk to you about that.

You see, Crystal doesn't work at the bank anymore.

Romano.

Well, she got a better job.

This is a teddy bear. I'm a tough policeman.

You want her to have a better job, don't you?

Don't give me that stuff. This is a teddy bear. I want a clock radio.

If you ever get to Vegas, Crystal says she can get you great seats if you ever

want to see the Follies de Paris. You know, woo -hoo. Romano!
