I'm here.

I'm sorry. I had to go back to the barracks to get my driver's license.

All right. Sit down. Take it easy.

All right. As you know, Officer Sheridan has completed her phase two training.

And today begins your week of ride -alongs to determine her fitness to move

full Phase 3 field duties.

The streets are finally going to be safe.

Thank you, Officer Romano.

That's not the funniest thing I've ever heard.

Stacy, your training officer will be Jim Corrigan, Adam 16.

Jim, you were off yesterday.

We didn't have time to brief you on your new assignment.

Baker and Doyle, Adam 32.

Now to the crime picture.

Two convenience store robberies in the industrial area. Detectives say they

probably picked because they cash paychecks and are near factories. Both

went down on factory paydays.

This dude is heavy and dangerous and worth every bit of your attention.

Description, male Caucasian. Black hair, brown eyes, 160 pounds, six feet tall,

medium complexion. His favorite toy is a .45 automatic.

And he's not reluctant to use it.

Boy, am I nervous.

I know the feeling.

Just stay alert and let it happen. You've been trained for it, Stace. And

Corrigan, you know what happened to his last training.

Hey, Andrews was a washout because he couldn't cut it, Stace. It's that

I hope you're right.

I am.

Well, you're just full of surprises, Hooker. It was time to move her to the

phase. She's ready. Says who? Says me and the review committee.

I'm not sure I agree. I'll tell you, there's no special favors coming from

You mean because she's the captain's daughter? I know the captain wouldn't

it. I'm just telling you, she gets the full treatment, and I'm going to

you she's ready for it. Listen, Cord, you're the training officer.

Make sure, make a decision, one way or the other.

Shotguns loaded. Four in the magazine and secured in the rack, sir.

The name is Jim. I'm not sir, okay?

Okay, Jim.

Anything else I can do?

Yeah. You could be on time for roll call in the future, and when you get there,

pay attention.

You might learn something.

Here you go.

You're driving.

That's the first thing I'll evaluate.

You know, nobody was doing Stacy any favors when they saddled her with

Hey, that's my judgment you're hacking on, Junior.

Jim Corrigan happens to be the best training officer on the watch. Yeah, but

he's got an attitude problem.

Sure, his partner was killed.

That's not easy to live with, but it happened a long time ago. That's only

the story.

The day his partner was killed, Corrigan was out on sick leave.

His partner was riding with a lady cop.

Yeah.

And don't screw up, kid.

Don't be.

Okay, everybody.

Roger.

Sounds like the same M .O. as the dude you told us about this morning.

War item 16 advised 30. We're rolling for backup on the 211.

Sheridan.

30 was assigned code 3. We weren't.

Sorry. I know only the assigned unit goes red and siren. On it.

I guess I'm just edgy, sir. And Jim.

I want everything.

Money, jewelry.

Hey, give us a break, huh? We just checked our picture. Shut up.

Or you'll all end up like that.

Come on, come on.

What do you have behind your back, lady?

What?

Nothing.

Nothing, eh?

Don't take that. Please, please don't take that.

I'll show you what nothing feels like.

Adam 30 in pursuit of two 11 suspects and silver charger.

Licensed. 622 Adam Paul Adam.

Westbound on 7th from Industrial Parkway.

He just shot him for no reason at all.

Mutant Ambulance of Delhi Junior Market. 929 Victory.

ambulance is en route.

He won't be needing it.

Step back.

Sheridan.

My God.

That's Tucker's wife.

Slow down. I'm jumping out.

Hey, man, give me that. What are you doing? Move the bag.

Hey, it's mine.

It's my money. Let's go.

Come on, man. Half of it. Come on, man. We made a deal. Come on.

The hand's behind your back.

Cup.

Ready?

My ring.

He took my ring.

It was the first thing you ever gave me, Hook.

Don't you worry about the ring.

We'll get it back.

in our slot this morning. Hey!

Hey, Mickey.

Take five, okay?

I need another set -up.

Not before I get my cut from yesterday.

That driver you put me onto was a loser. If he hadn't screwed up, I would have

scored. No money, no set -ups, Hendricks. That was the deal.

Well, let us call it the down payment, okay?

What's this?

It's real.

That's what it is.

And you'll get the rest tomorrow after the next job.

In the meantime, I want another car in the name of another driver. And he

be good this time, or you'll be sorry you ever saw my face.

Let me hear it again.

Where were you?

Let me hear it.

Come on, McGuire, spell it out. Where were you?

You're looking at a long stay in here, unless I hear chapter and verse.

What's Hooker doing?

I thought he was at the hospital.

He was, all night.

He's back with full head of steam.

The suspect's already been questioned by the detectives. I'm going over

everything on this case myself.

The witnesses, the evidence, and that suspect.

You know the book, Hooker. You're too personally involved, so just back off.

Dennis!

Fran is lying in the hospital with pressure on her optic nerve. If it

relieve itself, they're going to have to go in with a laser.

We're talking about the possibility of her being blind for life.

Are you ordering me to back off?

You understand one thing.

One toe over the line.

I'm going to have to pull you.

After smashing into that truck, it's a wonder if there's anything left of this

car.

What kind of firepower in that engine? It seemed like that could go 80 in four

seconds. Who taught you about souped -up cars?

Me. I built a Mustang from the frame up in high school.

Who taught you?

When I was with San Francisco PD, I moonlighted driving stock cars at the

Oakland Speedway.

Well, there are a few good tracks around here.

I stopped racing a couple years ago.

Is that when you lateral transferred into LCPD?

Yeah, I figured as long as I was devoting my life to catching bad guys,

it where the weather's pleasant.

Well, if you ever decide to get back into a stock car, I'm pretty good with a

socket wrench. Look, Sheridan, my orders ought to be a partner on the job.

Let's keep it that way.

This way it'll be easier on both of us when the partnership ends.

I was just trying to be... Friendly.

Corrigan, Stacy.

Fran Hooker had a picture taken of a ring for insurance purposes. We had

made. Good. You getting this out to jewelry stores and pawn shops? Along

special M .O. bulletin and a composite of the suspect.

Where'd you turn the car?

Stolen six months ago.

New engine number, phony registration.

Been cleaned and reconditioned by x -rays. It's full of top -end soup.

I'll make sure these get out. See if there are any parts on that car that we

follow up on and push forensics for a complete report.

Hooker, I'll sing on top of it here.

You go cheer up Fran.

When we get that ring back.

And the scum who took it, that'll be cheer up time.

Hi. I knew it was you.

Name is Hooker.

How are you?

How are the kids doing?

Are you kidding? Their father's taking care of them.

Sending them to school, feeding them. Hot dogs.

Well, it's the only thing I was sure I wouldn't ruin.

Well, at least you make a good cop, Booker.

Thank you.

How's Stacy?

How's she doing out in the street?

She's doing fine. She's got a good training officer.

Jim Corrigan.

He's one tough cop.

Maybe too tough. You've got to be tough to win the Medal of Valor.

Franny.

I... I still don't have an idea on these... Suspects.

I know you did this yesterday, but I gotta ask you to try again.

Are you sure you can't remember anything?

Anything they said, a gesture, anything unusual?

Well, I... I've tried, honey, I really have.

And... Well, this just might be my imagination.

Well, that's okay, because... At this point, I could use any lead I can get.

Well, right before he shot the other man, I think the two of them...

It was as if they recognized each other.

That's beautiful. I'll try and check that out.

Oh, you might just be wasting your time, hon.

Hey,

you spend your time doing your job.

It's getting better.

I'll do my job, which is checking out if...

You really saw what you think you saw.

Okay.

Yes? Mrs. Wilson?

Sergeant Hooker, Officer Romano.

We'd like to talk to you about your husband.

My husband is dead, Sergeant.

Yes, I know.

Someone close to me was injured in the same robbery.

May we come in?

Your husband was a stock car driver?

One of the best.

But he couldn't get any work lately, so we took a job over at the car plant.

He hated it, though.

Said it would be the death of him.

Mrs. Wilson, we're sorry to bother you at a time like this, but we were

wondering if you might recognize this man.

I'm sorry. I don't know who he is.

What about you, son?

When my dad took me to the car show last week, A man who looked like that was

having an argument with him.

Do you remember what it was about?

Something the man wanted Dad to do.

Only Dad said he wasn't interested.

He sure was the same man.

Yeah, I remember.

Because he had this weird tattoo in his arm.

A hawk and a snake killing each other.

The skin around it was all red.

Like he just got it or something.

Very good, son. Very observant.

We're going to get the man who did this.

And when you do...

Will he pay the mortgage and feed my children?

No But he'll pay in other ways

a good driver.

Well, I'm working.

Hey, give me a beer and one for my friend here.

This might have a good job for you.

You did a hawk and a snake in this guy sometime ago.

You said I did.

Some of the other parlors down the street.

And your menu.

Yeah. Well, I'm pretty busy right now, so if you ain't got a warrant... Hey,

got a long record, scum.

Listen,

you. I got a friend in the hospital because this guy.

Either you tell me his name right now or I'm going to play tic -tac -toe all

over your face. You understand?

But he had this accent. I thought it was French. He said he was from Quebec or

someplace. That's all I know. So help me God.

If God is going to help somebody, it's not going to be you, friend.

What's wrong now?

Did they change the course and interrogation techniques?

Or were you just trying to, uh... What?

The man at the Drag Racist Association was trying to help us. There was no need

to push as hard as you did.

I felt he was holding something back. He wasn't. How can you be so sure?

Experience, Sheridan. Something you might acquire in a few years if you're

around.

4 Adam 16, switch to tap 2 for 4 Adam 30.

4 Adam 16, roger. This is 16, go 30.

16. You can put a French -Canadian accent with that composite.

We've sent it to the RCMP, waiting for a reply.

Roger, 30. So far, we've come up dry.

Four out of 16 and all units in the vicinity of Bay and Six.

A 211 in progress at Bay Street Quick Mart.

Handle code three.

Okay, hit it.

Amy, the drive spell is over.

Bay and Six.

That's near the Duro Paperworks.

End of shift.

Bayon 6 is way across town.

It's at units in the vicinity.

What if we hit it?

In two minutes, we can be in the vicinity.

Adam 16 in pursuit of two 11 suspects heading west on Bay from Union.

Seven suspects now.

Anybody hurt?

Oh, we're all right.

You said she was ready, Hooker, and I believed you.

Damn!

Is this what you call ready?

Jason Hendricks, a .k .a. Jake.

courtesy of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

RCMP wants to put armed robbery and murder. Same ammo mug shots will follow

the morning.

See, the copy of that mug shot gets to every place who's in a compartment.

You got it.

Oregon?

Hey, Jim.

Every phase two makes mistakes. I almost got killed.

My life depends on her for eight hours every day. You're a training officer.

Mistakes go with the territory. I don't need you to tell me my job, Hooker. I

put a lot of good cops on the street.

None of them women.

Jim, I've given you a lot of time.

I thought you'd get it together by now. If I'm wrong, let me know.

Look, you assigned her to me. If you don't like my attitude, then get her

another ride.

No way. Not so easy. You want out? You're going to have to ask out.

Okay. So I'm not an ex -

Okay. Just tell me one thing. Why did you want to become a cop?

Maybe it's the way I grew up.

Watching my father, his friends, knowing they were the thin blue line.

Fighting to keep the streets safe.

I guess I just wanted to get into the fight.

Over there. He's waving to us.

alert bulletin on an emerald ring. Did someone hawk it? He tried to. I went to

the phone to call the police. He got nervous. Must have known what I was

So we got away. With the ring.

What did he look like? Could you give us a description?

I can do better than that. Come on.

You can thank that baby up there.

Yeah. Yeah, that's the clearest picture on the tape.

Well, that's great.

Remember the color jacket he was wearing?

Uh, black. And the stripe was yellow.

Thank you very much.

You're beautiful, Mr. Browning.

Yeah.

Here he is, Hooker. In living black and white.

Well, that's great.

We know the suspect's name now.

Hendricks. Jake Hendricks.

That's not the man on the videotape.

Sure isn't. What?

Well, whoever this is, the ring must be a payoff or something.

Maybe it's the guy who's supplying Hendricks fresh cars and drivers.

You know, I bet on it. The guy on the tape was wearing a black jacket with a

yellow stripe. Now, that's connected to a race team.

Why don't I take the tape? I'm sure I could run something down through the

Drivers Association.

Good.

Let's hit it, kid.

Romano, it's not working. I know he must think I'm a washout, but I'm really

trying.

It's not you, Stacy.

You're picking up the tab for another lady cop.

What are you talking about?

The lady was riding with Corrigan's partner while Corrigan was on sick

And his partner bought it.

Oh.

Pretty heavy load to carry.

Yeah.

Maybe I'm just thinking about myself.

Where to?

You're going to start running down all the racetracks in the area.

I'm going to go see a lady I know.

Could you call me at 555 -2807 if you turn anything up?

Thank you.

Dr. Biggert, Pediatrics, please.

Dr. Biggert.

Oh, Hooker.

They have to operate.

Did you get a chance to talk to him?

She asked me what color the flowers are.

Give me a time in life.

Cut. No?

behind your neck.

You listen to me good.

Those three slugs that destroyed your radiator and cut your engine in half

357 magnums.

What they did to this pile of junk they could do to you. Don't give me any jazz.

There's a ring that belongs to somebody I care about.

Some scum named Hendricks beat her.

I don't know if she'll ever see again. I do know I want Hendricks.

And I don't want you to waste my time. Now, where is he? I don't know.

All I know is he's pulling another job tomorrow.

Where? It could be anywhere. I don't know!

All right, Stacy. Your first felony. Okay.

Quantrek pays its workers today.

It's too remote. There's no place to cash checks nearby.

Well, let's see. It's payday at A &E Manufacturing. How about that?

No night shift.

Those workers won't be coming out for five hours.

Well, what about Pacific Electric on Alameda?

There's an easy mark about a block away from there.

The turnout shows that the plant closes at five.

Good thinking, Sheridan.

Maybe some of the Corrigan smarts are rubbing off on me.

They're a good training officer, Jim.

She can cut it with the best.

Time will tell, Hooker.

Hold it!

Didn't oversteer.

Had to learn by my mistakes.

Where'd you pick up that trick with the baton?

Hooker taught me.

Sort of makes up for my size.

Yeah.

Well, you did good, kid.

You cannot just let me die, eh?

You're right.

That's what separates the rest of us from a scum like you.

Give me your damn hand.

fingers are swollen and this is shrunk.

Oh, Mommy.

Easy, easy, Fred. We don't want to overwork those eyes.

Okay, everybody, I've got some work to do here.

We'll wait outside.

Okay.

She must be very happy.

How is she?

She's going to be fine.

He must be Jim Corrigan.

Yeah. Stacy told me you are her training officer.

I don't think I want to hear what else she had to say about me.

Why? She just said she thought you really knew your stuff.

Is Stacy going to become your partner like Vince became Daddy's?

Uh, Chrissy, I think there's an ice cream store across the street.

I'll buy the carpet.

Is she going to make it?

Too early to tell.

Some recruits just take a lot of patience and a lot of hard work.

Don't I know it.

Don't I know it? What kind of crack is that?

Well, for some recruits like Sheridan, it really pays off. Oh, don't I know

it.
