look at this scene hooker all these kids
at this hour of the night you think

they were homeless but the truth is
almost all of them have parents and

well what's with the parents don't they
care you tell me

Street, a GTA just reported at 413 Maple
Street. Vehicle is 71 Firebird, red in

color, license 421 Boy Mary Charlie.

That looks like a man.

4 out of 30 in pursuit of possible GTA
suspect in a 71 Firebird, license 421.

Boy Mary Charlie, heading north on Mason
Pass 5th Street.

4 Adam 16 heading west on 18th.

We will intercept. Our ETA is 2.

You guys are crazy.

Look what you made me do to my dad's
car.

Put that to music.

Freedom of rights and custody.

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.

You have the right to speak with an
attorney and to have the attorney... Oh,

God.

Hooker.

An attorney will be appointed for you
without charge before questioning.

Put a call in the corner.

Call Homicide.

She's such a kid.

Put her away.

My, she don't listen.

I'm making this film for the foreign
market, Asia, the Middle East. You know

what they want over there. Something
young, fresh.

A baby doll.

I found you a baby doll.

Gloria Neely was a baby doll who
developed problems.

So she cost you $200 a day for coke. So
what?

That isn't it.

It's my whole operation.

What do you think would have happened if
I just cut her loose?

Would you have kept her mouth shut about
the abortion?

About being in hardcore flicks at 16?

Look, it's just the whole idea of
killing someone.

That's not the idea. That's the fact.
The idea is not to wind up in prison.

Now, I'm shutting down the operation,
and you're out of a director's job until

you come up with another baby doll. You
understand?

They're tough to find, Mr. Laszlo.

Gold is tough to find, Miles, but it's
out there.

Dolly.

Look here.

What are you doing here on your day off?
Tracy, I was worried about you. You

sounded pretty upset.

I was, until I talked to you.

Have you heard from Homicide?

Yeah.

Preliminary findings indicate that
Gloria Neely died from a single shot at

Detectives are going to need help on
this one.

I've already talked to Corrigan.

I volunteered for the forum.

22?

Sounds like a professional job.

On a teenager?

Yeah, it does sound strange.

Maybe she witnessed something.

Something she wasn't supposed to see.

Maybe your family's into something
illegal.

That doesn't track with what the
detectives found out.

Her father's a highway construction
worker, a widower.

Gloria Neely.

Popular, good student.

She was a cheerleader at Washington
High.

Apple pie.

A girl like that shouldn't end up dead
in a trunk.

Isn't Washington High one of the schools
you and Corrigan are monitoring for

drugs? They've got a supply that seems
like it's on a conveyor belt.

Any ideas pushing coke there?

There's no proof yet, but I can give you
a name.

I think you know him, Hooker. Tommy
Carmel.

Yeah.

Senior, 18, going on 50, slick and
nasty.

Can't wait to meet him.

Put it on your schedule.

Hooker!

Where you headed?

Dr. Wagner. She should be finished the
autopsy by now.

You want me to come with you? No, no,
no. You stay here.

Make sure that she's okay.

You know, swim a few laps.

Working your pecs.

It's not just another case.

Not when they're as young as she was.

No matter what they say about our being
immune to these things, don't you

believe it. I never did.

About you.

Find out anything we could use.

For one thing, I was right about the
cocaine. She was a user and a heavy one.

The face of an angel.

An angel on a fast track. She also had
an abortion.

Could you tell how long?

Within the past four or five weeks.

Not a very good one either.

You think it was a backroom job?

Maybe, maybe not.

Even a practicing physician can get
careless.

What is it with kids these days? They're
old before they start.

I not only see it here, I see it with my
friends and their children.

That scares me, Elker.

Maybe that's why whenever I think about
marriage, I back off.

Well, that's not the answer.

You'd make a great parent.

Because you care.

Is that a proposal?

Don't put ideas in my head.

Elker, my job's through. Yours is just
beginning. Where do you go from here

Gloria Neely?

Right to the end.

I don't like living in a city where a 16
-year -old girl who's already hooked on

coke has had an abortion and gets shot
in the head.

I'm going to find out how and why it
happened.

Excuse me, Miles.

Yeah, how are you doing? Uh, excuse me.

I

thought

you'd never get here.

I'm coming down.

Have you thought about the thing we
discussed?

But you said before that there are new
things.

But you name a movie today that doesn't
have it.

I don't know, Miles.

I mean, my parents.

Hey, they're never going to know.

Besides, you're a big girl.

I'm offering you a career in cash.

How much would I get?

Would you believe $3 ,000?

Thanks.

Have I ever lied to you?

Gloria was a beautiful girl, Mr. Neely.

Yeah, she was.

Now she's in the ground.

Must be rough.

Yeah. Now, what can I do for you?

According to the autopsy report, Gloria
used cocaine.

I suspected she was on something.

Came down on her real hard.

She wouldn't level with me.

You know kids.

She was okay until about six months ago,
and then... I don't know. She just went

to hell.

Did you know she was pregnant?

And had an abortion?

That's why she spent that week at her
girlfriend's.

Didn't you ask her why at the time?

Look, I gave her money to spend. I
bought her a car. I did everything I

But I got my own life to live.

Do you know who got her pregnant?

How the hell would I know that?

This girlfriend you mentioned.

Lisa Telford. In Gloria's class at
Washington High.

We're cheerleaders together.

Best friends.

Probably told her everything she never
told me.

Maybe Lisa had time to listen.

Thank you, Mr. Miller.

I get the feeling if Gloria had come
home and said she was pregnant, Neely

wouldn't have paid much attention.

Maybe that's why she didn't go home. She
knew there was no love there.

I want to get Stacy and Corrigan out
checking the clinics and the hospitals.

I told the skipper that would follow
through on the abortion angle.

Do you think a legitimate medical
facility would perform an illegal

mean, obviously, there was no parental
consent involved. Well, it might have

been a quack, an opportunist looking for
a fast buck.

We've got to take a run at it.

Where to now?

To find Gloria Neely's cheerleader
friend.

Lisa Telford?

Yes. I'm Sergeant Hooker. This is
Officer Romano.

We're investigating the murder of your
friend Gloria Neely.

I was at the funeral the other day.

I still can't believe it.

I've been having nightmares about it.

Anything you might be able to tell us
about Gloria could be helpful.

Like what?

If Gloria was in any trouble.

If there was somebody who might have
wanted to hurt her.

I don't know anyone who didn't like
Gloria.

We talked to her father, Lisa.

He said that Gloria was your best
friend. Sometimes she stayed with you.

She must have confided in you, huh?

Yes, about most things, but... But what?

I don't know.

Lately, she was kind of private.

You knew about her abortion?

Yeah, I knew about that.

Do you know where she had it done?

No.

But, um...

I think I remember her saying she liked
the doctor.

This doctor, do you know his name?

I think Gloria said his name was Adam.
I'm not sure.

That'll help.

Thanks.

What's up, Booker?

A drug -dealing punk we should have a
chat with.

Tommy Carmel?

You got it.

Hey, Tommy!

Come here!

I want to talk to you!

Hey, Tarun, you're dead.

We want you to sing us a song.

I don't have to tell you nothing, cop.
Try again, punk.

We want some answers.

If I give you the answers, what do I
win? If you're smart, you try and cut

losses. What do you know about Gloria
Neely?

Like I said, I don't talk to cops.

Especially you, hooker.

That does it, wise guy. Assume the
position.

To see if you have a concealed weapon.

Give us rights, Romano.

I'm getting very good at this.

You have the right to remain silent.

If you give us the right to remain
silent... Save your breath, man. I know

by heart.

All right, you're head.

If you're any part of what happened to
Gloria Neely, you're not looking at a

juvenile hall this time. We're talking
hard time.

Try again.

Gloria Neely.

Okay.

Gloria was a cokehead, man.

I hear she went from zero to being the
biggest user around. How big?

Maybe 200 bucks a day.

Where'd she get the money?

She was into movies.

At least that was the word.

If Gloria's making movies, how come the
world didn't know about it? There'd be

big news around here.

There's one kind of movie you don't talk
about.

Especially if you're underage.

Corner.

Turn him over to the narcs.

Yeah, I played ball with you guys.

You did, and now you can play ball with
the narc.

Nothing so far on Gloria's involvement
with teen pornography. I sat down with

the guys in Vice and told them what we
were looking for. They said they'd get

back to us. Yeah, thank you.

Well, we've come up dry in the hospitals
and clinics.

No one of Gloria Neely's description was
the patient at any of them.

The doctor's name that Gloria's friend
would be sure about.

Adam. Anything on that?

There are no doctors in the city with
that name, neither first or last.

Scratch hospitals, clinics.

Gloria Neely got her abortion on the
black market.

No wonder she was so hacked up.

Poor girl must have been desperate.

Somebody else was, too. Somebody who
stood to lose and it became apparent

she was pregnant.

Illegal abortion mills operate
underground.

They're pretty hard to uncover.

Yeah, but girls like Gloria who keep
them in business somehow manage to find

them. How?

Referrals. A friend of a friend of a
friend.

How do we get referred?

I think I know someone who might point
us in the right direction.

We're still tracking Gloria Neely's
abortion.

We've eliminated all the legitimate
facilities, clinics, hospitals.

So then it's down to an outlaw shop.
That's our thinking. And it occurred to

that you might be able to help us.

Maybe I can.

But there was a case some years back. An
obstetrician was brought up on charges

for performing an abortion on a young
girl without benefit of parental

I did the autopsy on the girl.

Was the doctor prosecuted?

No. Witnesses backed out at the last
moment, so the DA had to drop the case.

What? The state board revoked his
license. That's good news.

Dr. Adam Garwood could be our man.
Sounds like our man.

You sure? For all I know, he could be
selling shoes these days.

I don't think so.

Doctors like this tend to keep
doctoring.

License or no license.

Okay,

now, Lisa, the camera's going to want to
see a lot more of you, okay?

But first, I want you to start with the
top lever, all right?

And I don't want you to hurry. I want
you to tease me, okay?

Yeah? All right.

Here we go.

Okay, honey, let's do it.

Can I help you, officer?

No. Wait, you can't go in there.

What's going on here? I'm seeing a
patient. Not anymore, you're not.

Everything's going to be all right.

Hey, wait a minute.

Wait a minute here. What the hell is all
this about?

Let's start with a patient of yours
named Gloria Neely.

Neely.

I don't believe I've heard that name.

I think you have.

Look, I don't discuss my patients.

It's a matter of confidentiality.

Or haven't you heard?

Haven't you heard?

Gloria Neely is dead.

What has that got to do with me?

She was a minor.

You performed an illegal abortion on
her.

Butchers like you don't stop with one
victim.

Garwood.

From the DA's office through talking to
the girls you've treated.

There'll be an army of witnesses waiting
to bury you. I'll be the one with the

shovel. I'm not saying anything until I
talk to my lawyer.

Who brought Gloria Neely here?

Who paid for your services?

I'll have to ask you to leave.

Sure, I'll leave.

But by the end of the day, the DA's
investigation will be all over you and

bogus weight loss dodge.

You've performed your last illegal
abortion.

You've maimed your last pregnant girl.

Doctor.

Hello? Dixon?

This is Dr. Garwood.

Yeah, what can I do for you? The police
were just here.

They found out the Neely girl had an
abortion.

They tracked her to me.

You didn't mention my name, did you?

Not yet.

But they're going to close me down, and
I'll need money to set myself up

someplace else.

Another state.

How much?

25 ,000 cash.

I'll give you an hour to get it, and
then I'll be there to collect.

That Dr. Garwood just called.

The police just ran him down.

He'll be here in an hour.

He wants 25 grand off the finger of me.

I'll take care of Garwood.

You guys got a doctor's appointment.

Kill him?

Dead.

Now that's what I call my kind of girl,
Dixon.

Got us a real hot baby doll here.

A real baby doll.

What do we do now?

Brian, stay out of hot water.

Michelle. Hooker.

Did you come for an autographed picture
or did you want to take a dip?

We're here on business.

My partner, Vince Romano.

Michelle Jameson, reformed film star of
Jenny's Delights and Babes in the Woods.

Nice to meet you.

Don't get up.

Now, Hooker, you're no longer on by.

And besides, you don't have any reason
these days to bug me.

So what kind of business did you have in
mind?

We're looking for someone who's cranking
out teenybopper porn.

Losing real teenyboppers.

Most of them try to fake it with 18
-year -olds.

I played 16 till I went over the hill at
20.

Are you kidding?

You? Over the hill?

He's a sweet hooker.

Why don't you give him the afternoon
off?

Hey, the subject is teen porn.

Give me a name.

Miles Dixon.

He'd be my leading candidate.

He's out here from the East Coast.

Where'll I find this Miles Dixon?

The Black Star.

It's a nightclub on the west side.

If he's in town, that's where I'll be.

I can point him out for you.

I'll take you up on that. Good night.

you at Dr. Garwood's office.

For item 30, roger.

What happened?

Close.

You're not kidding.

They get away?

One of them didn't.

Over there. He's dead.

4 -Atom -30, switch to TAC -2 for 4
-Atom -8. I'll get it.

Roger.

This is 30.

Go ahead, 8. This is Corrigan.

Corrigan, Romano. Tell Hooker Scarwood
didn't make it.

Okay, Romano.

Hooker.

Garwood's dead.

Bad news.

Good news for all the young girls,
whether they know it or not.

Now all we have is a porno lead.

Yeah.

If Dixon doesn't show tonight, I'm going
to have to bring you back here

tomorrow, Michelle.

You and Sid Tucker?

I'm all yours.

I didn't see anybody who looked like
Dixon come in while you guys were

boogieing.

You know, Hooker, you move pretty good
for a senior citizen.

Are you kidding?

I'm an Arthur Murray grad.

Want to see my rumble?

Not while I'm eating.

Hiya, Don.

Hey, um, haven't seen you here before.

Maybe that's because I haven't been here
before.

Well, you're in for a real blast now,
sweetie.

Wait till you see some of my moves.

Why don't you show me the one that gets
you lost?

Another one bites the dust.

Stacy's spreading a lot of insecurity
among the young bucks. They're all

on her.

Not all of them.

I'm not exactly joining in.

No. I haven't seen anyone who really
turns me on.

That's too bad, because I have.

Oh? Who?

You.

Look, buddy.

If anyone is going to pick me up, it's
going to be somebody in high heels and a

miniskirt.

Don't leave.

I'll be back.

I keep telling Romano he ought to get
his hair cut.

Booker, looks like we've been watching
the wrong door.

They're ticking.

Who's the girl he's with?

Lisa Telford.

I want to fix this.

I get the uneasy feeling that Dixon
might be setting Lisa up.

To replace Gloria Neal.

That's kind of anything that sticks in
life.

What's in back of this place?

Stacy and I were asking the same
question.

Just checking it out.

Relax, Hooker. Stacy can handle herself.

I'd sure like to think so.

Hi, yourself.

What are you doing here?

I'm looking for the powder room.

You're looking in the wrong place.

I already figured that out.

It's a big place. They ought to give out
road maps.

We told you the powder room was back
here.

I think we better see what's going on.

Look,

can we talk later? I really have to find
the little girl's room, you know?

Right along.

Yeah, it's worth it.

It's worth it.

Come.

We are getting closer.

Stacy described the guy she ran into
last night at the Black Star.

Vice put a name on him. George Laszlo.

The money man. He owns the Black Star
and several other clubs.

Vice has a smell that he may be moving
into the porno racket.

Probably backing Dixon.

Yeah, back them to the hilt if you can
judge by Dixon's flashy wheels and his

expensive condo. All of which means
nothing. For all we know, Laszlo and

could be making legal porno films, if
you can believe that phrase.

What about the picture I found of Gloria
Neely?

You can't hang him on that, partner.
They could say some agent submitted it.

we have to catch him dirty.

Right on.

Vice says we have to nail him on the act
of filming a teeny -bopper flick.

That's when they'll jump in.

Meanwhile, we're going to need some
help.

Are we talking about Lisa Telford?

We are.

According to your partner here, she may
be willing to cooperate.

Well, when Dixon dropped her off last
night, they had a hot argument. She ran

into the house crying.

I hate to use her, but I'm going to have
to.

There she is.

Lisa.

Do you remember us? We talked to you
about Gloria and Amy.

I remember.

We need to know more.

Look, I told you everything I know.

Then perhaps we can tell you something.

Gloria Neely was mixed up with Miles
Dixon, too.

We saw you last night at Blackstar with
Dixon coming out of the studio.

Well, I'm through with him.

I'll never do what he wants me to do.

You mean performing in his movies?

The whole thing is sick.

But I was afraid of him.

Lisa, Dixon will go on destroying the
lives of... Other young girls like

Unless you can help us stop.

I found out last night that he was the
one who made her pregnant.

And he paid for the abortion.

I hate him.

Then help us stop.

I don't understand. How can I help?

Tell Dixon you'll do what he wants.

That you'll make a sleazy film.

These little chicks are flaky. First
they say they will, then they say they

won't. You can't expect me to control
that.

That's what I'm paying you for.

Look, Mr. Laszlo, we're talking about
kids. It takes time to suck them in.

time's run out, Dixon. Back up your
gear. They're the officers.

True.

Mr.

Laszlo, you might want to reconsider.

Miles, I was praying you'd be here.

I've got to talk to you.

Now.

That's all right, Angel. We're all
friends here.

You can't cut me off.

You've got a problem, kid.

I'm not interested anymore.

Please, Miles.

I'm in a bad way.

And... I changed my mind.

Now, you listen to me, Lisa. This is the
last time we're going to do this little

dance. Okay? Now, I'm going to give you
enough stuff to get through tonight. And

the way you get through tomorrow, if you
show up here at 9 o 'clock bright and

early, ready to do what we started.

I'll be here.

You can't let me down this time, honey.

We're talking trouble like you never
dreamed of.

9 o 'clock sharp, all right?

We shoot tomorrow morning at nine.

Good.

What? What do you want?

What Dixon gave you.

Sergeant Parker, please. I can't quit
cold. Yes, you can.

I promise.

I'll get you medical help long term.

You won't need drugs ever again.

Lisa, you can do it.

You and your people made this case,
Hooker, so it's your book.

We appreciate that.

Corrigan, Stacy, you stay with Weiss.

Okay, now we're rolling.

Lisa, honey, look, don't be nervous,
okay?

Let's do it.

What are you doing? You got no right to
do this. Get on your knees. No right? We

got a warrant for your arrest.

Hands on your head.

Are you scared?

You bet.

Trouble's only starting here, Dixon.

You're looking at a murder rap.

And where do you get that? I didn't kill
anyone. Gloria Neely.

Hey, wait a minute. I had nothing to do
with that. You also paid Garwood to give

her an abortion.

And I had him killed to shut him up.
Look, I swear you're wrong. I'm not a

killer. You'll do.

We've already read him his rights.

We'll take him. Hold on just one moment.

I'm booking you for murder one.

You alone.

Order one.

All right, all right.

It was Laszlo. It was George Laszlo.

Hooker. Laszlo's bodyguard.

I just saw him. He spotted me and then
took off.

Laszlo will know we're out of him.

Hold on just a second.

Where will I find George Laszlo?

Then wash your hands.

This meat is freshly ground. The butcher
did it for me an hour ago.

This wine is freshly made, too. Romano,
when you buy the vino next time, make

sure it's aged more than an hour and a
half.

Corrigan, it just tastes strange to you
because you used to wine with screw -off

caps.

Now, that's enough, you guys. Now, let's
get this thing started.

Anybody got a match?

Yeah, just wine and furniture polish.
Oh, does that look good? Am I hungry?

Here, help yourself, partner.

Salud.

That should do wonders on untreated
wood.

Hooker, what happened to Lisa when you
took her home?

She laid it all out on the table.

Her parents took it pretty hard, but I
think it's going to work out.

What about the drug program? You think
she'll stick with it?

Yeah, and I think the parents will
follow through.

Let's get this barbecue in motion.
Hooker, light the fire, would you?

I don't light fires.

I put them out. Yeah?

That's not what your ex -wife told us.
Are you kidding?

We used to keep a fire extinguisher by
the bed.
