you

Hmm.

He's dead.

Hooker's dead.

Hooker... is...

dead.

supposed to be back in Oregon last
night?

Yeah, but I didn't see him in the locker
room and Ramon was looking for him in

Roll Call.

I hope there's no problem.

Oh, if there is, Hooker will take care
of it.

He still treats Fran more like a wife
than the next life.

Hey, Hooker.

Everything okay?

Yeah, I took the morning flight.

I wanted to spend as much time as I
could with the kids. They are getting so

big, they're changing so fast.

They just made it in time for roll call
in this madhouse in the precinct.

There's still nothing new on the Rand
kidnapping.

It would sure help if the FBI were in on
it, but they won't jump in because the

parents asked them not to.

Kidnappers are hard cases. It's not no
offense.

They even brought in a psychic to help,
a woman who's worked on some heavy

cases.

Got a solid reputation.

Mystical mumbo -jumbo is going to solve
this case. It's going to take good,

solid police work. Oh, come on. What
about the psychic in Florida?

I found a little boy was missing for
three weeks. Read the reports again.

you look between the lines, you'll see
it was solid police work. They took him

to the same place that this psychic
conjured up in his head. Oh.

Oh. Yeah.

The burrito?

Burrito.

Yeah, but we never had to fill it.

Tell us once more, girls.

What happened the last time you saw Amy?

The three of us were coming out of dance
class.

And Mary and I forgot our leg warmers,
so we went back to get them.

And when we got to the door, we looked
back. That's when the maroon car drove

and the man got out to talk to Amy.

And you didn't hear anything he said?

Right. We were too far away and he only
talked to Amy for a second. Then he took

her arm and made her go into the car.

Are you sure that neither of you can
tell me what the men looked like?

All right, ladies. Thank you very much
for helping us. Your parents are waiting

down the hall.

The officer will take you.

Oh, Lieutenant, no matter how hard I
try, I can't seem to get anything more.

A location. A street sign.

Oh, Lieutenant, my head is pounding. I
haven't been able to sleep. I am trying

as hard as I can.

The kidnappers have moved the deadline
twice so the family can raise the

I don't think they'll move it again.

Well, I'll just take Amy's picture
and...

Lieutenant,

that officer, who is he?

It's Sergeant Hooker.

Do you know him?

No, not really.

Can I work with him on this?

With Hooker?

Why?

He's a street cop. He jockeys a black
and white.

Lieutenant, we're not getting anywhere.

And the deputy chief said you're to give
me all the help you can.

Please trust me.

I think it would help if Hooker were
with me.

I'll tell you, at this point, I'll try
anything.

Hooker! Over here.

Julia Hudson, Sergeant Hooker.

Yeah, that's Hudson.

I heard you were working at Amy Rand
kidnapping.

That's right.

As of now, you are too, Hooker.

I'm what?

Oh, don't worry. I'll clear it with
Captain.

Don't I have anything to say about this?

Three stripes, gold shield.

It's called pulling right.

Barton here.

Yeah, all right. I'll be right there.

You two get acquainted. I'll catch up
with you later.

Yeah. I miss Hudson.

Oh, please call me Julia.

I don't expect we'll know each other
long enough for first names.

No offense, but I don't believe in
psychics.

Hooker. Hooker.

I don't give a damn what you think about
me. But the little girl who was

kidnapped needs your help.

And so do her parents.

At least come to her house with me and
talk to them before you make up your

ironclad mind.

All right.

One stop.

The little girl and her parents, and
then that's it.

Let's make this fast, will you?

My partner's back in the precinct
shuffling papers, and he's paid to

streets. Look, Hooker, I know you think
that what I do is a waste of time, but

it's not.

For some unexplained reason, I pick up
vibrations, visions of things that come

to pass. Maybe you have a strong,
intuitive mind.

Look, Hooker, you don't know what it's
like.

Knowing things that nobody else does.

Things you don't want to know.

Isn't it possible that what you have to
say, people don't want to hear?

I can't stand by and do nothing.

Not if there's the slightest chance that
I could help somebody like Amy Rand.

I wish I believed you could.

You think I'm a wacko, don't you?

I don't say that you don't care for
people and you want to help them.

But you do too, right?

Perhaps we have something in common
after all.

Julia, has something happened? Some clue
about Amy?

No, Louise, no clues yet.

Are you going to give the detectives a
hand, Sergeant?

Oh, I thought I'd just familiarize
myself with the case, Mr. Rand.

If it's all right with you, I'll go back
to Amy's room while you talk.

Of course.

Maybe this time.

I forget my observation.

But you don't seem like a family who'd
be targeted for a kidnapping.

I know.

We've been going through pure hell
trying to put together a $100 ,000

But every time I add it up, we come out
short.

I don't know what we're going to do when
the kidnappers won't give us any more

time. We've mortgaged the house and sold
the car.

We still need almost $30 ,000 to get Amy
back safe.

She'll be all right.

Give us a few minutes.

Yes, sir.

A stuffed animal.

A lamb.

A child's hands holding it.

They're Amy's hands, I know it.

A man.

A kidnapper.

I can't see his face.

Their faces never seem to come clear. I
just keep seeing poor Amy.

Hooker, please don't tell her parents
about this. I don't want to get their

hopes up.

Count on it. It's our secret.

There's no end to these reports and
lists of possible suspects.

Gathering all this information was a
tough go with no FBI to help. The Grants

put everything they had into help.
Including a high -class working fellow.

Back off, partner. Give her a break,
will you?

Nobody gets a break on this one.

The Rands are decent, ordinary people.

They've had to mortgage everything
they've ever made to ransom the little

life from some maggot who's probably
planning to kill her anyway.

Barton's checked out every known
offender.

Everyone who's worked with Sam Rando
knew the family.

Detectives checked them all to see if
they had records.

Waylon Gilbert.

Couldn't be two Waylon Gilbert.

His name's been checked off, meaning no
record.

Waylon Gilbert.

Roomed with a guy by the name of Sal
Gennaro, who I busted for extortion.

We didn't book Gilbert because he wasn't
involved.

From extortion to kidnapping, not a big
reach.

Detectives didn't pick up on Gilbert
because he didn't have a record.

And check this. Gilbert worked at the
machine shop where Amy's father is

employed until a week before her
abduction.

You think Gilbert may have learned from
his old roommate?

That, or Gennaro's out and trying to
find bigger things.

Stacy Corrigan, would you like to check
Gennaro out?

You know it. Let's go, partner. Let's go
find a Waylon Gilbert.

anymore, you won't be able to walk for a
week. What are you doing, Hooker? I got

no beef with the law.

Then what are you shaking for? What are
you afraid of?

Well, it's you, Hooker. You make me
nervous.

Really? He has that effect on people.

Looks like you've picked up some bad
habits since I busted your roommate.

Sal? No, no, I swear.

It's my thyroid.

I shake all the time.

And I never want to hear about that Sal
De Niro again.

He's 20 miles of bad road.

He's 20 years of hard labor for you if
you help set up the Rand kidnapping.

Kidnapping? Come on, Hooker. I wash
cars.

You worked at Sam Rand at the machine
shop then quit a week before his

was kidnapped.

Did you set her up? I don't know what
you're talking about.

What rock is Gennaro hiding under these
days?

I don't know if he's out.

I'd tell you if I did.

You don't look well, Waylon.

Maybe you'll remember better on a
hospital bed.

While you're at it, you can check your
thyroid.

Carla Bendix.

Sally used to be married to Carla
Bendix.

She might not.

Okay, Waylon, you earned yourself a
pass.

Go on.

Get yourself a new prescription for your
thyroid.

Something legal.

I'll call you at 8 sharp with details on
the drop. This is the last... tape

you're gonna get, Mr. Rand. I'm through
waiting. You have all the money.

Every penny of it by 8 o 'clock.

So far, your daughter's still alive.

Mommy, Dad, I'm not hurt.

I'm okay.

But I miss you.

You don't have it all tonight. You'll
never hear that voice again.

I couldn't let my wife hear that.

But they're very smart. They're keeping
Emmy happy so she won't cause him any

trouble.

Well, what am I gonna do?

There's no way I can raise $30 ,000 in
10 hours. There are ways, Mr. Rand. I've

run out of ways.

Mr. Rand, I'm sure Sergeant Hooker has
something in mind.

We have to have the money for the ransom
drop so the kidnappers will think

they've won.

And when he picks it up, we'll follow
him back to your daughter. It's the only

way to go.

I think that we've got to keep trying to
find Amy before the ransom drop.

You heard that, Animal?

What happens if he doesn't get the
money?

Like Miss Hudson said, Mr. Rand, I've
got something in mind about the rest of

the money. Why don't you go home?

Go to your wife.

All right.

You're getting something.

She's in a room.

The stuffed animal is there, the lamb.

There are other toys.

Anything else?

Sergeant Hooker, have you recently been
involved in a case where you worked in a

cemetery or a mausoleum?

I think I'd remember that. Why?

Nothing.

Just tired, I guess.

I'll, uh...

I'll take this tape to SID, see if they
can get anything else off it.

Although they didn't from the others.

30 grand?

What are you holding out on me?

Go find Stacey and Cork and see what
they're doing about locating Carla

I'll pick you up in an hour.

Sergeant Hooker, I'll be waiting for
you, too.

God bless you.

Hey, Jeter.

How you doing?

That you, Hooker?

Recognize me by my voice, huh?

I want to talk to you, Jeter.

You're not going to bust me for vagrancy
or anything.

Hey, I haven't done that in years, have
I? So what's this all about?

I've got a problem.

You think you've got problems? Look at
me, scraping by, hand to mouth, day by

day. That's right. Well, my problem just
involves a kid.

Little girl.

About nine years old.

You talking about your kid? No, I'm
talking about one who got kidnapped.

Father works in a machine shop.

They're trying to scrape together the
ransom money.

This is really terrible.

Who'd squeeze a poor working family like
that?

A killer, a psycho, probably murdered
the child if he doesn't get what he

Must be some way you can raise the
money.

I tried.

I got into the bank.

Tried to get a loan.

They need 30 ,000 bucks, but you know
how banks are.

A cop doesn't make the kind of money to
qualify for heavy loans.

My signature can't scratch those kind of
bucks.

I hate banks.

No harm.

Not like you, aren't you?

If I can help that girl save her life.

Co -sign the bank note for me.

Come on, Jeter.

Bank tells me you're good for a quarter
of a mil.

Stock market's been better for you than
I thought.

I've stopped hassling you, dragging you
in for your various misdemeanors,

because I found out who you help with
your money.

The halfway house downtown.

Men's mission.

Help, yeah, but not $30 ,000 worth.

The kid's nine.

She'll never make it to ten without that
money.

I'll see to it you get every penny back.

Hey, Hooker.

Don't worry about the money.

Just see you get the kids back.

4 item 16 to 4 item 30.

Before I'm 30, you go 16.

We got a line on Carla Bendix. Found out
where she works. A club on Comstock

called The Skin Shop.

Roger. Thanks, Stacy.

Glad you came.

Tucker!

What happened? They bust you down to
uniform?

Who's your friend?

Lady who's working at Casewoods.

Romano. Are you looking for a fourth for
a double date?

We're looking for Sal Gennaro, Carla.

The creep I was married to?

I think he's dead.

Thought we could be that lucky. When was
the last time you saw him?

You sure are pushy, Hooker, you know?

Some things never change, Carla. What
about it?

Look, I haven't seen Sal since right
before they sent him up.

I swear.

I don't care if I never see him again.
I'm trying to start a new life for

myself. I can see.

You hear from him. Call us. Let's go.

She's lying, Hooker.

You don't have to be a psychic to know
that.

Clayton Hotel.

Hello?

Hello?

Thank you, Carla. Got to get some
clothes on. We're going to take you

So you don't spend your hard -earned
money calling the wrong people. Would

like to do the honors?

I'm sure he'd like to spend a lot more
time with me.

What, is everybody psychic?

to warn them all.

And you must have the wrong address,
officer.

This is a respectable place.

Yeah, I know, and you're the tooth
fairy. I'm looking for Sal Gennaro.

What room is he in?

I don't have to tell you nothing.

He's got no warrant. Now, listen here,
Hartnell.

I can get a warrant, but that takes
time, and time is money.

Taxpayer's money, and I don't want to
waste taxpayer's money.

The sergeant is really being very
pleasant right now. I don't think you'd

to see him mad.

He's in room 216, but he ain't here now.
Where is he?

It work?

Work? Gennaro?

He ain't work since he been out to join.

Show me his room. Told you he wasn't in.

Yeah, I know, and you're a very honest
man, but I want to see for myself.

You get to the car. Go on, I mean it.

Like I said, he's not here.

I didn't think he was.

I'm looking for something else.

I think I found it.

He wasn't there. No, but something else
was.

Pile of matchbooks from a lunch joint.

An industrial area.

So he found a restaurant he likes.

Turk said that Gennaro didn't work.
Question is, what's he doing having

an industrial area? Got the answer?

Why, no.

It figures.

You get back inside.

Booker, I know Amy's close by.

I'm going to check in the restaurant and
see if anybody knows Gennaro.

Gennaro!

We got to get out of here.

Take the kid out the back. Use the car.

4 Adam 30.

Hooker, Amy's in that warehouse.

I feel it. I know it.

Dispatch to 4 Adam 30. Go, 30.

Request an ambulance and a shooting team
at Mama's Kitchen Corner of Commerce

and 4th. Man down.

Must have something to do with Gennaro.

I'm a little shook up.

Hooker, I saw Amy in that warehouse and
I loved her.

You're right.

So did I.

How

about

these toys, Hooker?

Right out of Julian's vision. One thing
for sure, this is where they were

holding her. At least we know she's
still alive.

Probably until I get the ransom.

Less than four hours from now. We've run
out of time to find Amy.

We've got to nail the kidnappers when
the drop goes down.

Can't take a chance of following and
losing.

Let me get you to a hospital.

That diesel hangs around pretty good.
I'll be all right. I have to be.

The end, it's near.

That's Amy's ribbon.

She's being driven along a road.

I knew she was in that diesel cab.

No, a car.

The back seat.

The car's maroon.

The road winds through trees.

The maroon car.

It must be the one Amy's friends told us
about.

If you won't let me take you to the
hospital, at least let me get you a ride

home. You could use the rest.

How do you know?

ESP?

Yeah. Maybe it's catching.

Control unit found the diesel cab.

Stolen. SID said it's been wiped clean.

Gives us nothing. Our luck may be
running better.

Last time Gennaro was in the slam, he
had a cellmate by the name of Tony

We checked him out, and guess what?

He's back on the street?

Paroled two months ago.

Talked to the warden.

This Oresko is a psycho.

Swore if he ever got out, he'd make
society pick up the tab.

By holding kids like Amy for ransom?

Office record, I don't think Oresko's
smart enough to go after a child whose

family's got real money.

Afraid he couldn't intimidate them. But
they call in the feds.

So he connects with his ex -con buddy,
Gennaro, who squeezes Waylon Gilbert for

the name of the Wright family.

Then Gilbert fingers the Rands.

I got news for this arrest. He was on a
collision course with trouble.

Seven. I want to be at the Rands' house
for that ransom call at eight.

We have to stop to make a long way.

You know... Figures Oresko being in on
this. He's nuts, though.

Ever meet him?

Once. Sal had me set him up with my
girlfriend.

He beat her up so bad, she ended up in a
hospital.

Did she say what set him off?

She was just kidding around about him
not being able to make it with women.

Like maybe he'd been in prison too long.

Sounds like our boy doesn't like his
manhood questions.

I think you've given me what I need,
Carla.

I owe you one.

Don't think I'll let you forget it.

Give us as much time as you can to trace
the call. Keep him talking.

I'll try, but I'm afraid he'll catch on.
What do I say?

Tell him that you followed his
instructions, that you didn't call the

And then you might tell him that your
wife is really upset and ask if she can

talk to Amy.

I think we know the identity of the
kidnapper.

The cyclone, Tony Oresko.

This is Sam Rand.

I'm going to tell this to you just once.

Take the money to the phone booth at the
corner of Spring and Dayton.

At exactly nine, I'll phone you and tell
you where to go from there.

Don't play any games.

I'll be watching you.

Listen, don't hang up.

So long, Rand.

Please wait.

Oresko, hold on a minute.

Who's this?

My name is Hooker.

I'm a cop.

We met yesterday outside of Mama's
kitchen.

That's as close as you're ever going to
get to me, blue boy.

What's the matter, Oresko?

Aren't you man enough to face me?

That's what I heard about you.

From a girl I know.

Shut up.

Shut up, you hear me?

Yeah, she said you talk big.

But all you can do with a girl is beat
her up.

All right, Joker.

You have bought yourself a funeral.

If you don't show, the kid has had it.

He wants you to deliver the ransom,
doesn't he?

No more than I want to deliver it.

Hooker, you can't. What do you mean he
can't? What are you talking about?

I should have told you this before. I
should have warned you.

I've had the same vision over and over
again.

You're carrying the ransom.

And you get shot.

Killed.

Hooker. Right on time, Hooker.

Very good.

Where's the girl?

In due time, friend.

First, we'll have a little fun.

Take off your wire.

I'm not wearing one.

You want her back in pieces?

I can see you.

Take it off.

All right, all right, take it easy. The
wire's coming off.

I don't like it. It's going sour.

Dixon Park?

Yeah, the ones by the entrance.

You got five minutes to get there.

Hold on, Oresko.

Dixon Park's more than a mile away.

I say you'd better get moving.

Dixon Park.

I'm on my way. We got five minutes.

Experience.

I told you.

Look who was smart enough to rig a
second wire.

Okay, I'm here.

Not bad, cop.

Let's see how good you really are.

Aruska, stop playing games.

Why? Not having fun?

You've got eight minutes to get to the
phone at Fifth and Main.

Fifth and Main?

I can't make that.

That's your problem.

Yours and the little girl's.

He'll never make it to Fifth and Main on
foot.

Hit the main.

Hurry, please.

I caught a bus.

No sweat?

We'll see.

The Mausoleum Chapel in the West Side
Cemetery.

You've got five minutes to get there.

Hold it! Hold it! I'm in a big hurry.

Five minutes to get there.

Get where?

Where? Come on, Hooker. Say it again.

All we can do is wait and hope he gets
to talking soon.

I'm at the cemetery.

Cemetery?

Five minutes away.

Gotta be the West Side Cemetery.

I got a feeling this is the end of the
road. I got a hunch Amy isn't with him.

Julia had a vision.

Amy in a maroon car.

Maybe it's around here.

Find it.

I'll see if I can find Hooker. We'll
look for the maroon car.

Could be the car Get

out

of the car with your hands up get up put
your hands on the roof

Keep them apart.

Put your hands behind your head.

Amy, I'm a police officer.

You'll be back with your parents real
soon.

your prayers, Hooker.

Where's the girl?

You'll be meeting her real soon.

And hereafter.

I brought the money.

Let the girl go.

I say what happens.

Now.

Slowly.

Use your left hand.

Reach around.

Take out your gun.

The girl.

First the suitcase.

Put it down.

Nice and easy.

Booker's dead.

I got a pulse.

Don't stop. Don't stop. I'll get an
ambulance.

But his hospital life's got to be
getting you down, Hooker. Well, I can't

complain. Rhonda here is going to come
back later and do her dance with the

doves. Oh, yeah? Well, shove over.
You're going to have some company in me.

Something tells me it's time to go.

Jim, did you talk to the psychiatrist?

Yeah. Yeah, he feels Amy's recovering
nicely.

Shouldn't have any lasting emotional
scars.

Get some rest. We'll be back soon.

Hello. Oh, Hooker, you're looking good.

Feeling good.

Especially about the way things worked
out. Tell me, have you changed your mind

about parapsychology?

That's a loaded question.

But maybe I'll do a little research on
the subject when I get out of here.

Oh, good. Now we're making progress.
What about psychics? Changed your mind?

Nope. No.

Hooker, Julia knew Amy wasn't in the
truck.

Right, and I also saw that stuffed
animal.

In -room car.

But she wasn't right about everything.

I'm still here.
