um

Here you go again, a victim of love.

But time and love...

And it wasn't too long till he was
flippin' free, flippin' free.

Now you know so well what only your
heart can tell.

So baby, when the table gets turned, you
love and you learn.

You said you had cards that you needed
to play.

But the game didn't.

You're a definite hit. Oh, is this real?

Is this me?

I feel so lucky to be here. Luck has
nothing to do with it. Your family would

have been so proud of you.

You're my family, Hooker.

And the applause belongs to you because
you're the one that got me here. Hey,

let's get one thing straight. You got
yourself here. Come on, Hooker.

I'd still be mainlining if it wasn't for
you.

Bonnie, I put a lot of people on the
drug program.

Not all of them have been able to hack
it. You did.

You're clean. You're going to stay
clean.

And you did it yourself. All I did was
point you. And you got Stacy to take me

in until I got it all together.

Hey, I hope she's going to be able to
drop by before the night's out.

Yeah, she's on duty right now. But she
and Cora are going to come by with the

second set. I'll be watching for them.

You know, it's funny, but three days ago
I couldn't even get a job at the

Pleasure Palace.

The Boulevard.

It's no place for you, kid. That's where
your trouble started.

Yeah, I know.

Shouldn't you get some rest for the next
set?

Don't tell me, let me guess.

You got a run, right?

I got a run.

I never can get you pinned down. I'm in
training for the Olympics.

I'll call you tomorrow.

Keep quiet.

And you keep moving.

What's wrong?

Well, you got her, didn't you? Yeah, but
the cops got Hanneman.

Did you give her the injection? Yeah!

Now, I'll help you get her in the
ambulance.

What went down, Hooker?

Kidnapping.

I got one of them. One of them got away
with the victim.

Stacy, the victim was Bonnie McCall.

What?

Bonnie?

Why Bonnie?

I can't say.

Everything went down so fast, I couldn't
get a lock on what the story was.

I don't know whether you find trouble or
it finds you, Hooker.

Well, as it says in the manual,
Lieutenant, we're always on duty.

Yeah.

They said you got a make on the body.

Earl Hanneman. I busted him a few years
ago.

He works with a carbon copy loser named
Carl Malick.

He and Malick have been a team since
they went to reform school.

I'd bet my pension it was Malick who got
away.

I'll look into it. And you know the girl
who was kidnapped?

Yeah.

I know her.

She didn't have any money.

There's no family to ask for ransom.

She just has a younger sister in Jersey.

She's alone out here.

She was also very pretty. Maybe the idea
was... Right? No, I don't think so.

It isn't in Hanneman's rap sheet, nor in
Malick's. Then why did they grab her?

I'll let you know when I find out.

Drummer. Yeah. Don't forget to follow up
on Malick.

I told you I'd look into it, Hooker.
I'll look into it.

It's wrong, Hooker.

Bonnie's been through so much.

Now this?

It isn't over for Bonnie, Stacy.

We'll see to that.

I told you before, Dobbs, the timing of
these runs is critical. The flight plans

I have to file don't allow for much
leeway. I'm sorry. We had trouble on the

way. Look, I just barely have enough
time to drop off the girl and get back

before operations figures out I made a
detour. We all take chances, Peterson.

We're all getting fat, too.

Another wind -up toy, huh?

It's pretty.

That's what they want.

That's what they get.

Well, I appreciate your cooperation.

Come in.

If you think of anything else that might
help us, please contact me at the

precinct, the number I gave you.

Yes.

Thank you very much.

How long you been on that thing? I've
been trying to get you. Wanted to know

whether I should pick you up for work or
not. The answer is yes.

I've been on that thing for two hours.

Dr. Bonney's sister in New Jersey. The
employees both shift to the club she

worked at. The manager there.

The guy owns the apartment building.
Anybody I could think of.

Still looking for a reason why she was
taken, huh? I'm trying to find if she

robbed anybody the wrong way.

Had a flake for a boyfriend.

Coupon in case. Anything.

Nothing. Sip.

There's no reason for anybody to have
kidnapped her. I know.

It just doesn't add up. Doesn't add up
to justice either.

She finally climbed the mountain.

She was standing in the sunlight.

Maybe we're overlooking something.

When I couldn't get through to you, I
called a precinct, got Corrigan. He was

looking through Hanneman's effects.

And? Well, maybe it's nothing.

But he found out that Hanneman worked at
a club on the boulevard.

The Pleasure Palace.

The Pleasure Palace.

When I talked to Bonnie last night, she
said something about the Pleasure

Palace.

That's right. She looked for a job there
a few days ago.

Maybe that's where Hanneman spotted her.

Four girls disappeared from there last
spring.

Cases are still open.

Here's your game of Scrabble, Hooker. I
waited up for you last night so we could

play. But when you didn't come home, I
played solitaire.

You played solitaire Scrabble?

Yeah, that way I don't lose points for
spelling.

Just put it anywhere, sweetheart.

This is my partner, Miss Romano. Hi.

Listen, Hooker, do you have a pot I
could borrow?

Pot? She wants a pot.

You new in the neighborhood? Yeah, I
live next door with my roommate, Dawn.

Dawn, huh?

What do you girls do for a living?

They're brain surgeons, Ramon.

Here you are.

Here's your pot.

Thanks, Hooker.

Bye. Bye.

What was that?

A pot. She's going to cook something in
it.

Those four girls have disappeared.

There was a white slavery angle on it.

But Vice let it drop because it didn't
fit the usual pattern.

Which is?

Ads appear in a newspaper asking for
girls who can sing and dance and are

willing to perform more scenes.

And when they get there... They're
grabbed, and that's the last anyone

them.

You got it.

Girls who are grabbed from Buenos Aires
or Tokyo. I can't do anything about it.

But when they're taken off of my
streets, like Bonnie, that's different.

damn well going to put a stop to it.

Are you suggesting that that's what
happened to Bonnie McCall, White's

You had a better suggestion?

What about the Pleasure Palace?

The detectives checked that out? Yes,
they checked it out, and the manager,

Lorraine Daggett, said, yes, Hanneman
had worked there as a part -time

bartender, but as for Bonnie McCall, she
never heard of her. That doesn't track

with what Bonnie told me.

She went in there looking for a job. She
even filled in an application.

Well, your Bonnie may have had a little
problem with the truth. I don't think

so. No, well, you see, I pulled her
file, and she's been busted three times,

twice for possession and once for
solicitation. File's old news.

I put her in a drug program. She was
getting her act together. She wouldn't

Somebody's not telling the truth.

I gave you a name last night.

Carl Malick.

Known associate of Hanuman's. Yeah,
well, you called that one wrong, too,

Hooker. I ran it down.

Malick is doing time in Florida.

Drummer's crowing.

The computer has Malick in prison in
Florida.

You buy that?

I still think it was Malick in the car
with Bonnie.

If you're right, Malick might have been
seen at the Pleasure Palace where his

buddy Hanneman worked. But how do we
find out? They don't exactly open up to

cops and join something.

What about one of us going in there
undercover?

A drummer would never go for it. Well,
let's hit the street.

See if we can pick up a lead out there.

I know that look.

Don't do it, Stacy.

Don't go in there on your own.

I'll do whatever it takes if I'm gone.

All right. Now, when you fill out this
application, don't leave any of the

questions blank.

Okay?

You can fill it out over there.

Hi. Hi.

I'm Stacy.

I'm Shirley.

I guess you're applying for a job, too.

One look and I can see you don't belong
here any more than I do.

Times are tough.

I can get what you want and when you
want it.

I hope you're right.

Just understand, Dobbs, the girls don't
arrive as ordered.

I shall go elsewhere.

And then you and I are finished.

Hasta luego, amigo.

Good luck. Good luck to you, too.

Not from what I see.

What I see is prime stuff ready to be
packaged and shipped.

I heard what you did yesterday.

Look, I know how you feel about Bonnie,
but going to the Pleasure Palace was

just too risky.

Risky and thoughtless. We were worried
about you.

Thanks, Pilate.

Okay, Hooker, I read you. And I know
you're right. But as dumb as it was,

something did happen.

Like what?

The manager offered me a job. I start
tonight.

You've got to be crazy.

Oh, wait a minute.

It just might be our only way to go.

Hooker, I know Stacy's good, but she's
not ready for something like this.

She could be if we did it right.

You mean put a wire on her? Then stay
glued to her.

Now you're talking.

There's just one hitch.

We have to trade apartments.

Trade apartments?

When I filled out the application, I
couldn't put down my phone number and

address. Everyone in the building knows
I'm a police officer.

So you gave them my place?

Well, sure.

No one's there permanently except for
you.

And I figured the motel manager can play
along with it.

Stacy, I've got to hand it to you. You
have got guts.

It's a big deal. I've done undercover
work before.

I mean about Dane and Hooker's promy
pad. That has got to be the supreme

sacrifice.

Of course, there is Claudia and Don.

Claudia and Don?

Never mind.

You're too young to hear what he's
thinking.

I'll run this undercover thing by
drummer. He won't approve, but maybe

look the other way.

What makes you think so? I got him over
a barrel.

The lab lifted a partial palm print.

from the dash of Bonnie's car.

It belongs to Malick.

You ready to roll?

Just about.

It takes you getting dressed. It took us
a while to get the equipment from the

priest. Hooker, what happened with
Drummer when you told me he had definite

proof that Malick was in town?

He didn't want to buy it. Even with the
palm print, he hung tight until I put a

call into the prison and flew out. That
must have been beautiful.

How did the computer blow it? A
computer's only as good as what you pump

it. Nobody bothered to tell it that
Malik had been transferred to a medical

facility. And then somebody else dropped
the ball when he was transferred from

there. Let's double -check the
transmission.

Make sure it's working.

Stacy, we're running a test.

Say something.

One, two, three, testing.

Hooker, the window in here. If you want
to open it, you have to jiggle the

latch.

And about the plant.

Make sure they all get enough water. And
don't forget to talk to them at least

once a day. They like that.

I always get tongue -tied when I talk to
a philodendron.

Oh, one other thing. There's a big guy
with blonde hair.

Let him in.

He's using my shower until his gets
fixed.

George? George is using her shower?

What's taking her so long? Her costume's
only this big.

Yeah?

Ta -da.

Anything you want me to do at your
place, Hooker?

You don't have to water dirt.

Stacy's already installed the boss.

That's what we're counting on.

Maybe the boss, one of the waitresses,
maybe one of the customers, will drop a

confidence on him and give us a lead.

Mayor, we need a refill.

Coming right up.

Gotta look at the file.

Bonnie's application wasn't in there.

We know she made one up.

So did the girl I met yesterday.

Hers wasn't there either.

I don't like the sound of that.

Wait,

wait, wait, wait, wait.

What do you mean I can't have Stacy?

Dobbs, we agreed.

We'd never take a girl who worked here.

We can't have any trails leading back to
this place.

To us.

Look. I could get a lot of bucks for
her. She's special.

Look, I've got a sweet arrangement here.

Pay steady, the owner's out of state,
and I've got a free hand.

And for you, this is the ideal setup for
screening talent.

As long as we keep playing it safe.

We've got to make an exception. I've got
to deliver.

Now give me Stacy's application.

I'm going to check her out.

Who is it?

Virgil Dobbs. Pleasure, Pallet. I want
to talk to you about your application.

I don't understand. I'm already on the
job.

Well, if you want to stay on the job,
I'd open the door and talk to you.

Look, sweetie, it's our policy to verify
the backgrounds of our employees. All

this stuff yours?

Yeah, I'm a collector.

I never throw anything out.

I caught your number last night. You've
danced before, haven't you?

From Miami to here.

Like the song says, I was born free.

I notice you're from Florida.

That's where I hear from.

Oh, really? Where about?

Oh, you don't know. It's a little town
outside the Everglades Cable.

You know, for somebody who's born free,
you've got an awful lot of stuff here.

Uh, look, Mr. Dobbs, I have a problem.

A guy who hit on me at the club is on
his way over.

And if you're here when he comes...

I blow a hundred bucks.

You dig?

Okay, I'll talk to you later about this
after the club.

Four out of 30. Detective Richie Pace
reports a Carl Malick located living at

845 West 5th Street.

Four out of 30, that's a Roger.

All right, Richie, I knew you'd come
through for us.

Malek's taste in cars is usually fast
and stolen.

I'll check with the manager.

You start running these license plate
numbers.

Start with that Corvette.

Throw your gun down.

Come on out.

Shoot him to position.

Where's Bonnie McCall?

I've never heard of her.

Well, you're going to hear of her.

Dirtbag.

For the rest of the day.

Freedom is right.

You have the right to remain silent.

If you give up the right to remain
silent, anything you say can and will be

against you in a court of law.

Three, four, five.

You resisted arrest.

You ran.

And you took shots at officers of the
law.

Hey, Matt, I just spent three lousy
years at the Florida State Prison.

why I boogied. That's not why.

You ran because of what you did to
Bonnie McCall, Malik.

I told you I'd never heard of her.

That's funny, but somehow your prince
appeared in her car.

Kid.

Now, wait a minute.

Bonnie, yeah.

That was her name.

I picked her up like a week ago in some
joint.

That was a one -night stand. I forgot
all about that.

The only one -night stand you had with
Bonnie McCall is when you snatched her

from Misty's and put her out of
circulation.

You calling me a killer?

I'm calling you a white slaver.

You shipped Bonnie out of the country.

Well, you've been smoking swamp weed,
Hooker. But you didn't do it alone

you haven't got the brains. You haven't
got the connections.

Who's the honcho?

You give him to us. Help us get Bonnie
back.

It'll go a lot easier on you.

That swamp weed really getting to you.

You see, I've seen it with a lot of guys
back home in Pahokee.

As soon as your head clears, then you're
going to know that I didn't grab Bonnie

or anybody else.

Malik, you had your chance. You should
have taken it.

Because now I'm going to bury you and
whoever's in this with you.

Now, just a minute, Hooker.

I'm not finished with this suspect.

You wasted your breath on him.

That's what he thinks.

Did you find something out? I think
Stacy did this morning.

Let's see where we are with it. Did you
hear back at our inquiry into Cable?

Gee, I just came in. According to the
local police, Virgil Dobbs was born

all right, but he's been gone a long
time.

I also heard back from NCIC, and they
got nothing on him.

Southern Florida.

When I was in the Marine Corps, I spent
one long, hot summer down there at

Homestead. The Air Force base?

I finished their preparatory training.

Cave Hill, where Virgil Dobbs grew up.
And look what's three miles upstream.

Pahokee? What's Pahokee?

Where Malick comes from.

That's too much of a coincidence for me.

Call up the files on the four girls that
were missing this spring.

I remember right.

In two of those cases, Weiss came up
with the same prints, never identified.

Yeah, but they couldn't be Malick's. I
mean, he was in prison last spring.

Virgil Dobbs wasn't.

It's an ambulance? This is Dr. Sprague.

I'm going to need an ambulance tomorrow
to transport a patient to Pacific

Medical Airlift.

Five o 'clock sharp.

No, same location.

Oh, and by the way, can I have that
driver I use?

Dodge, yeah, that's it.

All right, thank you, sir.

You're going ahead with safety.

I have to.

What about Malik and the car?

Don't worry about him. He'll keep his
mouth shut. He's a good old boy.

Is that for Dob?

Yeah, his fourth tonight.

Well, let me take it to him. I want to
make some points with him.

Good luck.

She's making her move, Hooker.

I hope I didn't keep you waiting, Mr.
Dob.

Some things are worth waiting for.

Let me know when you need a refill.

Oh, this will be all right for this
evening.

I'll see you.

Dobbs prints are on the glass in the
office.

I think he's about to leave.

Hold on a second. Kurt, this is for you.

When Dobbs leaves, you move in. We'll do
our thing.

I'm about to dance around it.

Give me a beer.

Long came through.

Dobbs, Leighton, taken off the glass,
matched those of a previously

prince from the other cases. You were
right, Hooker.

Dobbs is our man. All the way. We have
him linked to the disappearance of three

of the girls. I guarantee he connects to
all five.

I think you should be leaving for the
Pleasure Palace about now.

I don't want her going there.

Corrin, you stay here in case Dobbs or
Stacy show up. Right.

Where's Stacy?

You two?

Cops? Where's Stacy?

I don't know.

She didn't show up. You're in big
trouble, lady.

Stacy's a policewoman.

I haven't done anything.

Yes, you have.

You and Dobbs are running a white
slavery ring.

You're crazy.

Yes, again.

Your other associate, Malick, finally
buckled.

He gave us the whole scam.

Body McCall.

Four girls have disappeared last spring.
Now, Stacy, if you don't start talking

fast, you'll pay as big a price as Dobbs
and Malick.

Dobbs set up the whole thing. All I did
was point out prospects.

Get Corrigan out of here.

Where did Dobbs take Stacy?

He works at Sun Ambulance. It's not far
from here.

On Taylor, near Bradman.

Take her in. Book her.

You and I will hit some ambulance.

I'm going to pray my partner is okay,
lady.

Oh, no, no, no, no. Shh.

Don't fight the drug, baby.

By the time you wake up, you'll be in
Mexico, and from there, who knows what

garden spot you'll be off to.

You know, you're a special one, Angel.

I'm almost going to miss you.

Where's Virgil Dobbs?

On a call.

Transporting a patient to a Pacific
medical airlift at Baker Field.

Should be there any minute. You want me
to try and reach him? No. Give me the

phone number.

We got a clearance?

Yeah.

I'll take it.

Pacific Met Air.

This is the police.

Sergeant Hooker speaking.

Has the sudden ambulance arrived yet?

Uh, no, not yet, sir.

All right, this is an emergency.

Listen carefully.

That plane is not to take off.

When the ambulance arrives, tell the
driver nothing.

Vote the patient at stall.

We're on our way.

Okay, cut.

I bet it's been a change in plans. I'm
going with you.

It's your party.

There's the entrance.

No sign of our backup.

Dispatch, there's two units of meters
there.

Can't wait.

That's the plane we want, and I told
them I'd let it take off.

Could it play tag with a jet?

No, but we're playing chicken.

We could end up a foot ornament on that
thing.

pounds of fuel on this baby. I'm not
buying my carcass for you unless you

you can fly it.

I'm hurt.

You better hope we get five young women
back.

Or you're just beginning to hurt.

Oh, baby.

I know you've been lonely, but I'm back
now.

Hooker, look what you did.

You were supposed to talk to Stacy's
plans. I did, honest.

Philodendrons don't like cop stories.

What's the word from the State
Department? Good news. They found Bonnie

Mexico. Is she okay?

Physically, yes. Emotionally, she's
going to need a little help.

I don't think you'll have to ask for
volunteers.

The name I squeeze out of Dobbs is
Mexican Connection Mendez.

State Department cut the federales down
and had to jump all over him. He talk?

He spilled his list of customers and
Interpol's moving in. What about the

girls? Any hope of finding them?

Keep your fingers crossed.

I'll get it. I'll get it.

No, you get it.

Excuse me?

Aren't we polite?

Meanwhile, there's a guy out there with
a pizza and it's getting ice cold.

Hi, George.

I don't believe it.

I don't believe you've been letting this
guy come in and disrupt your life,

Hooker. Use your shower.

That's not so bad. In an hour, his
girlfriend comes through and she looks

Claudia.
