um

Thank you.

Peace between rival gangs.

It's been the impossible dream since I
grew up here.

And it's crucial to this neighborhood's
regaining of self -respect.

Ms. Mendez, your concept for self
-respect in the barrio is very nice, but

it work?

I've made it work in other cities.

Thanks to Teresa and her generous
contribution of office space, In her

NAPA, N -A -P -A, Neighborhood Awareness
and Positive Action.

We now have a home.

And thanks to funding from local
merchants, we'll be paying young people

cleaning up the neighborhood.

Giving them a sense of achievement as
well as non -installer.

Was it the merchants who brought you
back to our city?

No.

of Julie Mendez's program.

I just let a few people know about it.

Hooker established Teresa Santina as
neutral ground between the territories

the two strongest gangs in the barrio,
the Ochos and the Primos.

Come on, Julie, let's get this show on
the road.

Then some of them hit the streets. It's
all downhill from there.

That's why Julie's here.

To give them the chance they need.

See, Julie?

I told you it wasn't going to work.

Getting the prayers of the ochos and the
prayers of the primos together.

Me and my ochos, we're here.

Where's Chewie?

Patience, Luis. He'll be here. He
promised.

Patience.

If Chewie gave his word, he'll be here.

I've worked with him before.

And under as much of a side, he's not a
bad guy and smarter than most gang

members. How about showing us what
Teresa has set up for you, Drew?

Luis said his ochos are willing to talk
about a truth with your primos.

Maria, you know I don't like talking to
Luis or any of the ochos.

The line that separates the ochos from
the primos is invisible to my mother and

me.

We don't choose sides against our own
people because they live on the wrong

block.

They are still our people.

And they're yours.

Don't you get so serious, girl.

I'm on my way to your mother's cantina
anyway.

Remember, it had to look like the otros
did it.

Come on. Come on, you know it's my hot
track.

Come on.

Come on.

Chewie, what's wrong?

Come on, baby.

These gangs need more help than ever.

They've been living under that
territorial rights system for a long

Thanks for the advice, Hooker, but I've
been through it with every country gang

there is. Not as bad as this.

You know how deep the rivalries run
here?

And they've been festering it for a long
time.

There have been a lot of minor clear
-ups lately.

Right now, I feel the pressure building
for an explosion.

We're at a 30 and all units in the
vicinity of 8th and Lincoln.

Shots fired, man down.

Suspects driving a faded yellow
Chevrolet, lowrider type.

That kind of call will draw me up down
here.

That's got to be him.

30 in pursuit of 69 yellow Chevrolet
Capri.

Lighten 262, Charlie Adam Mary.

Northbound 8 passing Penn.

Coming our way.

Let's give Hooker and Romano a hand.

4 item 16, we're northbound 7. Show us
backing up 4 item 30.

A through and through.

Done a clone.

Maria.

Did you see who did it?

Was it them?

Hey, Maria.

What are they talking about? We didn't
do nothing.

You shot Chewie.

Maria, tell him.

We're primos. We don't shoot our own.

You hear that, Luis?

Ocho colors.

Hooker, we had nothing to do with this.

They did it.

Ain't you got ears, man?

Frankie and Angel are primos. The
shooters were wearing ocho bandanas.

You're a mighty primo pig. All right,
all right, all right. Hold it, hold it,

you guys.

Come on.

We'll find out who's responsible.

In the meantime, let's not let this
spoil our first peace efforts.

You gotta be kidding, man. I ain't
meeting with no guy who shot the primo

You didn't shoot nobody.

Talking's the only way you're ever gonna
end this kind of thing. I know how to

put an end to it.

I'll get off your turf, man.

But when I come back, I'll come back to
skin you, ese.

Orale, anytime.

It ain't gonna work, lady.

Get it?

Well, no one said it was going to be
easy.

Telephone.

Inspector June.

I tried.

He wouldn't listen.

I pleaded with him, Hooker.

But he won't order the primos to talk
peace with the ochos.

Hooker, you know Chewy. Why don't you
talk to him?

You dug me out of a barrio gang once.

Anyone who could pull that off might be
able to budge Chewy.

Oh, somebody asked.

Dr. Coffman's telephone, please.

me in here, Hooker.

You brought in that mendous lady with
her peace talk and I bought it.

Left myself unguarded.

And Maria, too.

That's the whole idea, Chewie.

Peace.

So you won't need any guards.

You don't know how it is out there.
Well, I know that a war today will be

worse than 1982, Rumble.

Gangs are bigger.

More heavily armed.

A major battle will cost lives, lots of
lives.

Oh, yeah.

You tell that to the Ochos that tried to
kill me. Wasn't the Ochos.

Two Primos gunned you down.

Frankie and Angel. No way, man.

All Primos are blood brothers.

Each one of us takes a sacred oath.

Besides, man, Angel and Frankie are
loyal to me.

Well, think about it, Chewie. They're
the right age for gang assassins. And

know as well as I do that if they're
found guilty, all they'll do is serve

Chewie time at a camp.

I'm telling you.

Someone is using your people to make
sure that Julie's program doesn't get

started. I can't believe it. Give me a
chance to prove it. And if I'm wrong,

you'll have plenty of time to start
shooting.

I can't go crawling to those lousy
Ochoas.

It's your pride talking.

You're past that.

You're one of the few leaders in the
barrio who can make some change.

By using your gang as a positive force
for talking.

instead of fighting primos ain't afraid
to fight nobody stop acting so macho

serve your people put an end to the
cycle of killing every time a nacho

primo primo kills a nacho can't you see
how stupid that is can't you see that it

has to be stopped by someone sometime

And you tell them that I want them to
listen to what Julie Mendez has to say.

How is Chewie?

He's okay.

Your daughter is staying with him at the
hospital.

Poor Maria.

She lost her father in a gang shooting
and now Chewie is shot.

It's too much.

Not for Marie.

She's strong, like you, Teresa.

She believes the barrier is a place to
be proud of. And it can be.

What do you hear, Teresa?

Noises about getting even.

You know what that means.

Hooker, no go. I've been talking to
Ochos and Primos all day. They're not

to sit down at the same table. Looks
like you made a trip down here for

Maybe not.

I'd like to make an announcement.

Sure. Come on.

Muchachos, listen up.

Sergeant Hooker's got something to say.

I've talked to Chuy Valastero.

He's going to be okay.

He'll be out of the hospital soon.

They would put in an ocho to take his
place.

You try it.

Take it easy, guys. Take it easy.

wanted me to deliver a message to the
Primos.

He says to let Julie Mendez put her
program into operation.

That leaves it up to the Ochoes.

Let's see if you're as smart as the
Primos.

Let's kick it off with a meeting of the
leaders tomorrow morning. Nine o 'clock,

right here.

What do you say, Luis? Do you speak for
the Ochoes?

Why not?

What about you, Manuel?

Can I count on you being there in
Chewy's place?

I'll do whatever Chewy says.

Okay.

I'd like that, but I have a lot to do
before the meeting in the morning. Well,

maybe we can help you out. We can all
jump in and help. Sure.

Appreciate the offer, but it's my
program. Well, if your program works,

how much easier our job will be.

Why don't you all just show up in the
morning?

Frank and Angel, where are they?

Who knows, man. They've been celebrating
on those nickel bags.

Yeah, we'll find them.

I want that Julie Mendez chick out of my
life.

Forever. Can I speak to you for a
minute?

I don't like you being here alone.

You have a short memory, Hooker.

You're talking to one of the toughest
female gang soldiers ever to walk this

burial. Until you learned that you were
smart enough to go to college.

You know, I still wonder if you had
anything to do with me getting that

scholarship. Well, I didn't get the
marks you did.

I just wonder why you didn't take a
cushy university job when you graduated.

I feel I have to put something back into
the environment that made me.

But don't worry.

I've worked with gangs in a lot of
cities.

I really think somehow to stay with you.

I want the kids here to trust me.

For that, they have to know I trust
them.

With blue -suited bodyguards around,
it'll never happen.

You're dedicated to your job, and I
respect that, but I got a job to do,

protect people.

Still the white knight, huh?

Isn't there any way I can convince you?

I'll be okay.

Really.

All I heard was one shot.

Yeah, that's all it took.

Okay, split.

Okay.

What's the word on Julie?

She's in intensive care.

The doctor spent most of the night
digging a bullet out of her abdomen.

Did you talk to her?

I got her before they wheeled her into
OR. She managed to get out a few words.

She said it was the Primos who shot her.

Primos?

Did she recognize any faces?

She only knows the leaders. She hasn't
been back long enough to know all the

gang news.

I should never have left her alone.

You can't blame yourself for what
happened to Julie. If Julie doesn't make

Come on, Hooker. She's a survivor.

Easy, partner.

You got business here? Get on with it or
get out.

Hey, lay off, copper. I'll turn you in
for bugging me.

You know, we got rights, you know.

Come on, man. We're just here to see
Julie, you know. Well, then go see them

before I bust you for contaminating a
hospital.

They could be the ones, Romano.

I told you Julie said it was Primo's.

But if Frankie and Angel were trying to
stop Julie Mendez's program when they

shot Chewie, and they wore bandanas to
put the blame on the Ochoes, why didn't

they do the same when they hit her? They
didn't have to. If Julie dies, the

program dies with her.

Booker, you have got to cool down.

Not till I prove that Frankie and Angel
did this to her.

Uriarte.

Juvenile records show their character

Puente. Point on 30, Roger.

Puente?

Isn't that the name of the guy you said
was sitting with Manuel at the cantina

last night? He's suspected of selling
drugs and guns.

He hasn't been nailed yet because he
uses teenage gang members to do his

work. Well, that's what he could be
doing now.

Let's find out.

Man, as always, Manuel, you get 10 % of
my action.

Easy money, man.

These new 45s, the guys will go ape over
them.

Look,

all we need is a war.

Get out of here. Get up and step.

car for, weren't you?

Yours? Yeah.

Your taste in clothes has gone uptown.

These studs real or phony like you?

Hey, come on. You know me, Hooker.

I'm the genuine article.

Business must be good.

A lot of people are buying hook caps, if
that's what you mean. No, what my

partner means is guns and dope.

When things heat up in the streets, you
get rich.

Now, come on, Hooker. Get off my back,
huh?

I don't want no trouble. You strive on
trouble.

It feeds you the customers for the guns
you peddle. And the kids need money for

the weapons, and they hustle dope for
you.

You got it all figured out, don't you,
Kirk?

It's too bad you don't have any proof.

Well, maybe we can find some.

Hey, are you local?

I think you better talk to your...

What do you hear about police brutality?

You put a hand on a police officer. He
has a right to defend himself.

Because he ain't got no right to come in
here without a search warrant.

What's the matter, Fuente?

That's up to Hyde.

I think maybe you're violating my rights
just by asking.

I want you to pass the word.

Julie Mendez may be out of commission,
but her program isn't. I'm going to

it and run it until she's out.

Come on, Julie meant that they ain't
dead and Hooker's taking over?

Come on, no way.

He's got Chewie in his pocket.

And Luis will bring his sniveling little
ochos begging for a truce.

So?

I've got one more card to play.

What's that?

The queen.

Maria?

You crazy man.

That's Chewie's girl.

I ain't gonna touch her. Forget it, man.

Hey, man, you're gonna do what I tell
you to do.

I still got the gun that shot you and
Julie Mendez. Hey, I didn't shoot

Yeah, well, your fingerprints are all
over that gun.

How about I just hand it over to the
cops, huh? No.

No, man, you wouldn't.

Look, we gotta make Chewie think that it
was the orchards who grabbed him, man.

We pick her up tomorrow before the
meeting.

Well,

we've been out all night.

They could be hiding in a million
places.

No reason for Frank and Angel to hide.
They don't know that we matched Julie's

bullet with Chewie's shooting.

They probably think she's dead.

She could be.

I want those kids.

Bad. We'll get them.

Thing is, I know they're just pawns
carrying out Fuente's orders.

That's who turned them into murders.

4 -Atom -30, switch to TAC -2 for 4
-Atom -16.

4 -Atom -30, roger.

This is 30, go 16.

Got a tip, our suspects could be in a
rolling shooting gallery, an old panel

truck. What's the description of the
truck? We have them in sight right now.

A blue and white 71 Ford northbound on
Fountain.

Stay with them.

We're at Alden and 6th.

Frankie and Angel, were they with you?
Were they with you? Take it easy,

Yeah, man.

Which way did they go?

Tell me.

Or to help me, you won't live long
enough to be proud as an adult.

Over there, man.

On your knees.

Hands on your head.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Put me back!

Who sent you to kill Dilly Mendes?

Tell me! Tell me now!

Who's there?

Sick.

You think this is sick?

What if I could throw it at you?

You'll feel like a walking plague.

Now move it!

It was them.

They did it.

They shot me.

I heard you brought my boys here.

Frankie and Angel shot Julie.

And they shot you too. I told you they
were going to say that.

He's a crummy liar.

Ballistics results prove that the same
gun was used in both shootings.

And Julie made a positive ID.

They are primos, hooker.

Primos don't shoot primos. This time
they did.

Accepted, Chewie. And somebody, probably
in your own gang, had to turn them into

shooters.

Somebody who wants you to think they
were watchers.

Wants you to go for revenge.

I'm listening.

How about Julio Fuente? He'd get fat on
a walk.

Fuente's an ex -primo.

He's loyal to the gang.

You ought to go after Luis Molina. He is
a psycho nut.

He wants war with the Primos no matter
what it takes.

We have a feeling you'd like it seen
that way, Manuel.

Me? You gotta be kidding.

I'm the number two Primo.

You keep bad company, Manuel.

We saw you at Teresa's Cantina sitting
with Fuente.

You showed up here at the hospital with
Frankie.

Think about it, Chewie.

Oh, Manuel.

There's a Napa meeting this afternoon at
the cantina.

If you don't show, I'll make sure that
everyone knows that you want war and are

probably involved in the shooting.

And, Chewie, you get back to bed.

The sooner you get well, the better the
chances are that the Primos stay out of

trouble.

Progress at the restaurant, Teresa's
Cantina, 4th and Commerce, 4 Adam 30,

handle coat 3.

4 Adam 30, roger.

Did you see what they did to Chewie's
girl? Cut her hair.

Disperse her. There ain't gonna be no
peace now.

And that's the way Chewie always wants
it. I want you out of here.

You better watch where you go, man.

You step out of your territory and I cut
it off. You.

And you.

Out. Get them out of here in one piece.
No.

All the work, all the trying to reason,
it's all for nothing now.

There'll be a war for sure.

Nothing's for sure.

We've just got to keep on trying.

I can't, Hooker.

I'm going to take my little girl away
from these streets.

A gang war took my husband one week
after Maria was born.

I'm not going to let another war take
her.

I'm sure this shirt's not too chewy.

It's not enough to bust Fuente.

Maybe Chewie will get the message before
all hell breaks loose.

Chewie, what are you doing?

The Ochoes.

They hurt Maria.

Shamed her.

Primo's are going to kill every stinking
Ocho.

And I'm drawing first blood.

Ocho, give Huckle time to find out who
did it.

All the Ochoes.

One ocho.

All the ochos.

Don't you see?

It makes no difference.

What are you doing? He's gone.

Went to lead his gang.

I've heard nothing will stop him now.

You see, don't be a fool.

Go to Sergeant Hooker and help him find
the truth. It's stupid to fight over

Manuel's vain words.

It is, sir.

The primos are going to keep spitting on
us till we make them respect us like

they used to.

And we're going to do it where they
first got respect shoved down their

Look at it.

It was given to me when I was leader of
the primos.

Promise me that you'll use it to avenge
what was done to Maria.

I want a piece of the ochos, too.

Hey, this is your war, isn't it?

Eat the primos with courage.

Judge Powell sure hustled out that
search warrant.

We gotta get Puente put away fast before
he unloads his artillery.

Warren. Fuente!

Fuente!

If I was Fuente, I wouldn't leave
anything incriminating lying around.

Fuente deals in guns and smack that he
does from here.

It's got to be something.

Once the first kid is hurt, there'll be
no going back.

We don't even know where the gangs are
lined up to kick it off.

Let's hope that Stacy and Corgan come up
with a lead.

Look at this.

Well, for once he tried.

He was always wiping his hands.

But it never was clean.

4 -M -30, roger.

Booker, just talked to Teresa.

She said Luis mentioned something about
before 82, a place where the Ochoes were

respected. Could be the River Street

We used to race there. The Ochoes always
won.

We're on our way.

Meet us there.

Chewie, stop, please.

Go home, Maria.

No place for you to be. Get her out of
here, Chewie. She's caused enough

like it is.

He makes the trouble.

He makes the war, Chewie.

The Ojo spit in my face when they shame
you like this.

I can't let that be.

Now go home.

gun that shot Chewie.

Same gun that shot Julie Mendez.

And the first fingerprints we're going
to try and match with those in the gun

are yours, Manuel.

We found these.

With the gun. They were worn by the
shooters.

Frankie and Angel.

So they would look like Ocho's.

They tried to frame us.

Not they.

One man.

One man who comes in on top, no matter
who wins this war. Hey, don't listen to

him. You saw what they did to Chewie's
girl. It wasn't the Autos who attacked

Maria. That's right.

Who was it?

I want him myself.

Listen to me, Chewie.

Who wants things just as they are?

Who would lose if there was peace on the
streets?

Where'd you get the guns that you're
carrying?

Julio Fuentes.

When Maria was attacked, she ripped
this.

off of Wente's shirt.

Your enemy isn't Luis and the Ochoes.
It's that man there.

You're throwing the barrier off, Wendy.

Julie and the kids, they win. You lose.

Not bad for starters.

Now that Napa is an official city
commission, shouldn't you have a real

in a real office building?

Could have, but I wanted to be here on
the street with the people. This

commission's supposed to help. I like
it.

I like the way you got Luis to
personally deliver Chewy's letter to the

Help make this official.

A little lobbying went a long way.

You two find Chewy and Maria?

Oh, sure did.

Just in the nick of time. They were
about ready to run off and get married.

I think I convinced her to wait until
she finished school.

At least I think I convinced her.
Listen, Julie, we're going to help you

settled in here. And this time we won't
take no for an answer.

If you insist.

Julie, this picture.

Why?

Well, you caught me.

I guess I have to admit it.

I used to have a crush on you.

What do you mean, used to?

Who knows? Maybe the sparks could be
rekindled.

If they were fanned.

Hey, partner.

End of watch.

What do you say we go to that new pizza
joint on Market?

Sorry, I'm busy.

I got some heavy fanning to do.
