On a block!

Selfier Hotel, Plaza NB.

4 Adam 30, roger.

On your feet, come on! Everybody in this thing! Come on, get up!

You two, move!

Move! Move!

Move! Move!

at you, Dad. Get out!

Nearly bad enough.

Okay, pal.

There's no other way out.

Come out with your hands up.

Hands on the bar.

How was the suspect you shot?

He's got a 70 -30 chance, but he's strong. They have a 24 -hour guard

hospital room.

They say he can't be moved to the county jail ward until tomorrow, maybe the day

after. What's our next move?

The sweet young thing who dented your forehead.

Not to mention my ego.

Dr. Seidelman, two X -rays, please. Dr.

Seidelman.

I don't know. They got a guard outside the door.

We're going to do something fast.

I heard some talk at the nurse's station. The cops might try to send him

jail ward tomorrow.

What do we do?

You're going to go with me. We're going to get a lay out of this place.

We're going to get him out of here tonight.

Cindy, anything on our young lady bandit?

The matron found this in her search. Room 115, but no name of the motel on

I'm running it down now.

Did you run the prints on the suspect in the hospital?

Mm -hmm. His name is Henry Baker. The records show he has two sons and a

stepdaughter. I'm waiting for a rundown on them as well as the hotel robbery M

.O. Two sons and a stepdaughter.

Looks like we have a family operation on our hands.

What a shame.

Pretty girl like you.

The only shame is I got caught.

Things could be worse.

If you'd hit me just right with that bottle, you could have killed me.

Then you'd be looking at a murder charge.

Too bad the bottle wasn't a hammer.

Must be hard.

You're a tough guy, Act, and I don't think you are.

I'm not acting.

What you see is what you get. What I see is a kid who got herself deserted by a

bunch of cheap rip -off punks in front of the Excelsior Hotel today. They're

cheap. And they didn't cut out on me.

You'll see.

My brothers will come back and bust me out of this dump.

The brothers Baker.

And Father Henry.

They're not your blood relatives, are they?

How old were you when Henry married your mother?

Ten. If it's any of your business.

We're running a check.

You want to tell me now your first name?

Carol Ann.

Now I'm through talking.

Getting out of here.

I'm going to make you an offer.

Free of charge. No strings attached.

I don't want anything from you.

Hey.

Carol Ann.

Your stepfather and your stepbrothers are using you.

You have your whole life ahead of you.

It could be a new life.

If you cooperate with us.

How old are you, 17?

Bingo. Give the man a prize.

I'm guessing you lost most of your teens to a pack of mad dogs who used you to

pick up after them.

I bet you lost a lot of your childhood.

Boyfriends.

School dances.

Fun.

Laughter. When was the last time you laughed?

It's not too late to get some of what you missed back.

You're not 18 yet.

You can be placed in a foster home with decent people, a chance to meet decent

friends, nice schools, everything you should have.

All you have to do is say, I want a new start.

On my own, without them.

Think about it, Caroline.

Think about it real hard.

That's a pretty deal you offered her there. Feeling sorry for her? She's a

victim herself. I figure if we help her, she'll help us. But she won't. So we

tracked down the maggot she ran with. Hooker!

It's a family operation, all right? The son's name's with Freddie and Sammy. The

stepdaughter's name is Carol Ann. There are warrants out on them in five states

for everything from an armed robbery to murder. This guy Freddie's a charmer. On

top of the beefs against the family.

He's wanted for rape and assault.

What about the M .O.?

Just like here. Hotel robberies in Louisiana, Alabama, New Mexico, Mexico,

San Diego. We also ran down the motel.

Safari Motel on Crocker.

We'll run it down.

Hooker, turn it over to the detectives, okay?

We can do it now while we're on patrol, Captain.

These guys are armed and dangerous.

They'll need to stand a protocol while they're out on the streets.

Hooker, can't you ever take no for an answer?

Not when yes makes more sense.

What time are you planning on visiting Valerie at the hospital?

As soon as I change into my civvies. Her mom needs a break from the bedside

vigil. Well, you give them both a great big hug from me, and you tell Val's mom

I'm praying to.

Nice operation.

Free hotel brochure. Study the layout. Take off with the cashier's money. Nice

hotel. It's a lot different from this dump.

What do they make of this? Looks like they drew it themselves. Some kind of

floor plan.

Excelsior Hotel Lobby.

Fourth floor of the community hospital.

Henry Baker's on that floor.

He's not the only one.

Fran just started her shift.

Mrs. Fernandez, front desk, please. Mrs. Fernandez?

Dr. Biggert, pediatrics, please.

Dr. Biggert?

Whoever said hospitals were a bad place never saw what they got here.

Mrs. O 'Brien, telephone, please.

Mrs. O 'Brien?

there'd be something if this elevator got stuck between floors.

I like your puppy.

Dr. McCullen, surgery, please. Dr. McCullen?

Hi, Fran.

Oh, Stacy.

Hi. Valerie's mom just went down to the coffee shop. Boy, is that little girl

looking forward to your visit.

Before item 30, alert our police security at community hospital that a

escape plan for suspect Baker may be in progress.

Hi, Valerie.

Hiya, Stacy.

Look. A kid, a puppy.

I thought maybe he weren't coming because he had to catch a crook or

No crook could keep me from you. You know, I was thinking maybe if they fixed

good. I could be a policewoman, too.

You bet you can.

Victor 10, Victor 10, 4 Adam 30 reports a possible escape plan in progress. How

you doing?

What's going on out here?

Come on.

Let's go. Come on, come on, come on.

Move, move.

What? She's a lady cop.

Put on your weapons.

You ain't telling us nothing.

Now, we're giving the orders here.

You tell the top police I show to give us what we want, or we're going to kill

everybody on this floor.

The numbers of all the patients on the fourth floor. Okay? Get it.

How many hostages, Hooker?

According to the registrar records, there are eight patients up there.

Some of the nurses went on a coffee break.

So it appears that Fran was the only staff member up there.

I'm sorry, Hooker.

So am I.

How about Stacy being up there?

She was visiting the daughter of some friends of ours.

Along with the guard.

That makes a total of 11 hostages.

My team has the fourth floor isolated, Captain. The other floors are secured.

As soon as I go over the blueprints of the building, I'll recommend a plan of

attack. Hold on a second, Digger.

I suggest you take a look at the suspect's rap sheets.

Two of those men are violent criminals.

We'll take our chances.

It wasn't your team that I was thinking about.

It's those hostages who don't get to vote on your plan.

My baby is up there.

They were just going to bring her down for emergency surgery.

What kind of surgery?

She has a coarctation of the aorta.

The blood flow to the heart is being squeezed off.

Did the doctor say how much time we have?

It could stop her heart at any time.

If she's frightened or if her blood pressure goes up for any reason.

Fourth floor nurse's station.

For you.

Yeah, what can I do for you?

This is Lieutenant Decker.

I'm calling to see if you and I can't find a way to work this out without

anybody getting hurt.

You must be one of the yo -yos they bring in when they want the bad guys to

up. You forget that.

I want to talk to Sergeant T .J.

Hooker.

The cop who shot my old man.

I want to kill him before all this is over.

But right now I trust the harness bull more than I do a smooth talker like you,

Yo -Yo.

Hooker, he wants to talk to you.

and T .J.

Hooker. Now, you listen real good, Hooker.

You got two hours to get me $100 ,000 and a station wagon.

When the money gets here, I want my baby sister out of jail so she can bring the

money up here to us.

Now, if everything's in order, we'll come down and take a nice long drive

from here.

Now, hold on. You're asking for an awful lot.

Oh, yeah?

Well, I'm gonna give you something.

For free It's coming down in the elevator right now

together, Hooker.

But that's it. Two hours.

Or your lady cop takes the next ride down.

Baker, listen to me.

I want to speak to you man to man.

You got a little girl up there named Valerie Webb, room 402.

She needs surgery real bad. If she doesn't get it, she could die at any

Look, you've got ten other hostages.

Let me send a doctor up and get her.

Nobody gets up on his floor. You got that, Hooker?

That kid's so sick, you better do what I told you.

You got an hour and 57 minutes, T .J.

We know that Stacy's a cop.

We'll do whatever it takes to keep her alive.

I'm telling you the truth.

Little girl's overdue for surgery now.

That's the way it goes.

Your Honor, there isn't time to think about it.

Well, they have ten hostages that we know of.

Among them is a little girl who may die without immediate surgery.

Yes, sir.

I'll wait for your call.

His Honor, the mayor is running for re -election and says these are times for

law and order, not times to give in.

But he'll think about the money.

Did anybody talk to the DA about releasing Caroline Baker? No.

The chief is making that call, but the DA is running for re -election, too.

it.

Dealing with scum would kill a policeman without blinking an eye.

Everybody's worried about their own re -elect.

Hooker's right, Captain.

We don't have time.

According to these blueprints, there are only three ways into the fourth floor.

Firescape, stairway, and elevator.

And all of them are easily guarded from the nurse's station.

Let me repel a couple of men down the side of the building.

Make them try to enter from the rooms farthest from that station. Hold on,

Decker. This building is ventilated for climate control.

Those windows are sealed.

That's right.

Your men would have to break a window to get in. What if one of the bakers hears

them? How many men do you lose? How many hostages did those psychos kill?

We've already got one dead officer.

How are you doing, honey?

How come the doctor's in here yet? And my mom?

Oh, don't worry, sweetheart.

I've just been delayed a little.

Think happy thoughts, hmm?

Stay with me, please.

I don't want to be alone.

Shh, shh, shh.

You have to be quiet and stay very relaxed.

Just like a little raggedy Ann doll, remember?

But I'm scared.

It's my mommy.

When does she come?

Now you just lie back for me, darling, okay?

Now, you just lie still and rest, and I'm going to see if I can find someone

come sit with you.

I

need

her. The little girl's blood pressure is in the danger zone.

I don't have anything to quiet her.

Medication for children has to be special ordered from the hospital

I need her, too.

The only way sweetness here leaves my sight is if I search her for weapons.

Mommy!

I want my mommy!

You can search me.

Keep an eye on things, Tammy.

When he's with a girl, he just does not know how not to.

That light, that's from your father's room. He must have regained

How long before the money gets here?

About a half hour.

I got an idea. It's a long shot.

But it's worth a try.

Oh, God, I'll do anything.

Captain, I'd like to call a press conference for Mrs. Webb.

What good will that do?

They could nudge him a little, soften him up.

Soft isn't going to work.

Well, it better.

Because according to the chief, not only is the D .A. not going to release Carol

Ann... He's going to make an announcement to the media that he's not

release her.

If the Bakers see that, he could be sentencing the hostages to death.

Let me put a couple of my men through the windows now.

Just because the D .A. is willing to play Russian roulette with their lives

doesn't mean we should.

Did you see Mommy yet, Aunt Stacy?

She'll be here.

Now you rest and don't worry.

They won't let anyone help my little girl.

The doctors say that she could die without any warning if she gets upset or

scared.

Her heart could stop and she'd be gone.

I can't believe that those people could just sit there and let a child

die.

Please.

I'm talking to you, Henry Baker.

And your son.

You're a family.

You know how much my little girl means to me.

I'll be right back.

Don't go too far.

Please.

Let a doctor come and get her.

Why don't you do something?

He's not like your brother.

Do you want that little girl to die?

Come on.

Come on.

Look, Dad, I just don't like what Freddy's doing.

I want that little girl to have help.

And if he gets in the way of that, it's going to have to be passed to me.

Okay, by me.

Cut it out, both of you.

Buddy, I want you to let them help that little girl.

There's no time to be fighting amongst ourselves.

It's Freddy Baker.

He wants to speak to you.

We've still got 45 minutes left.

Baker? You can come get the little girl, Hooker.

I'd like to bring a doctor up. What do you say?

I say you better get one of those phones for the hearing impaired.

I said you can get the little girl. You got two minutes. Otherwise, forget it.

Two minutes to get Valerie.

Take charge, Lieutenant.

I have to brief the chief.

Yes, sir.

Now's the time to go.

Hooker being on the floor getting the girls the perfect distraction.

Lieutenant, it's too late to let Hooker know what you're doing.

It's better he doesn't know.

Then he won't do anything to Tippett.

The captain would never go for this.

You heard him. I'm in charge. Plan zebra the stairway and the elevator.

It's worse than using Hooker as a decoy. At least the decoy knows what's coming

down.

Hooker would do the same thing in my shoes.

No, he wouldn't.

I know my partner.

And I'm not just going to sit here and let you set him up.

I ought to kill you right here, Hooker, for shooting my old man.

You'll get your chance.

Right now, I'm keeping you to your word.

I'm taking the child.

I'll get you both out of here.

You know you will.

This may be the only time in my life I'll ever be glad you're a cop.

Hello.

Aunt Stacy says you're the best police officer she knows. She does.

Well, I don't know about that, but there's one thing that I really am

at, and that's giving little girls a ride.

I have two daughters of my own, you know. You do?

Sure do.

You wait right here.

And I'm going to go get one of those rolling chairs.

We'll go for a stroll.

Take your teddy with you, too.

I shut down the electrical. frame system so there won't be any lights or bells

to alert him okay go hold it romano this is as far

as you go it's going to take your whole team to stop me lieutenant

I'm taking you down the elevator.

Why not?

If anybody's on it, you all die.

I'm going to kill you.

big mistake hooker you think if i knew they were coming i'd be caught standing

in the middle of a hallway with two innocent women i'm gonna kill you just

putting me in here he may be the only one on our side yeah then ask him to

explain why i just saw some tv news lay saying that va wouldn't release caroline

no matter what had to do with some law and order stand he was making

tell you what hooker

I think I'll get my boys to kill half the patients in here.

As my law and order stand.

Listen to your son, Henry.

I'm all you got.

Now, if I'm not out of here in one minute with that little girl, you can

on it all ending for you right here in this hospital, because those cops will

keep coming at you till they get you.

If I get out of here, I'll do everything I can to see that your terms are met,

because I want to see these hostages set free.

I'll think about it.

There's no more time for you to think about anything.

I'm taking that little girl.

Now.

Wait a minute.

What are you...

telling you.

They always get a lot of people killed, Decker. We're down to 14 minutes.

You've got to complain. File it.

You better sit on this guy.

One of his men is wounded because of him.

When the bakers pick up the M -16 and you try storming that place again,

be ready for you. You've got a better plan, Hooker.

We've got to do something they'd never expect us to do.

Something that'll surprise them.

What's she doing here? Now, you heard the DA. He's not releasing the Baker

Captain, I'm the arresting officer.

As such, I have the legal right to check her in and out of jail and interview

her any place I choose.

Besides, who said anything about releasing her?

I'm going to ask for her help one more time.

I'll take it.

Let me accuse you.

Knock it off, you guys. Knock it off!

you up with your stepfather.

I figured you would eventually.

I told you they wouldn't split without me.

I almost caused the death of a little girl.

They're threatening the lives of a lot of helpless people.

What do you want me to do, stop them?

They never paid attention to anything I've ever wanted.

They treated me like a slave, except for Sammy.

But he's not smart enough to do anything about it.

Look, have you been thinking about what I said?

Yeah, I've been thinking.

If you go back with him into the life you've been leading, you'll be caught

again.

Only this time you'll be over 18.

And any chance you had of turning your life around will be gone.

What you said before, is the offer still open?

It's there.

All you have to do is take it.

No strings.

No strings.

You don't have to help me.

But if you do decide you want to, you gotta tell me now.

Because we have nine minutes.

But if I don't want to help, you won't change your mind.

I can just stay away from them, and you'll see that I get a new start.

That's what I said.

What do you want me to do?

You better be talking business. In eight minutes, your lady cop buys it. Hold on

a second, Baker. I got Carol out of here.

I'm sending her up with the money, but I need 15 minutes first.

Send him up right now.

I got to count the money.

I don't want to shortchange you. No, you won't want to shortchange me. Will you

count fast, Hooker? You got 10 minutes.

You get the old man ready. We're moving up.

You get ready, too, ladies.

They're going to be our protection, right?

Oh, yes, Sammy.

For starters.

Just for starters.

Now, don't shatter my faith in Sergeant Hooker or his faith in you.

Now we're running the department on faith?

Try it, Decker. Sometimes it works.

Yeah, sometimes.

Get out of here. Ready?

Ready. Count that money first.

I don't want anybody pulling the scam on the pretty good family.

There.

There.

Sammy?

Push that button, lady cop.

Don't try it. You're dead.

I'll let the state settle with you for all the rest.

I don't suppose there's any chance you're still glad I'm a cop.

Maybe a little bit, whenever I see Valerie alive and smiling.

Enough to break bread with me tonight at your favorite steakhouse?

I'll think about it.

Oh. All day.

Eight o 'clock?

Sure. Dr. Anderson to maternity, please. Dr. Anderson.

Valerie!

The doctors tell me they fixed you up so good.

You could become a policewoman.

Just like Stacy.

Sit down, Hooker. Valerie has something for you.

What you've got.

I love you, Hooker.

I love you too, sweetheart.
