you

Come on, sugar.

Jump in. We'll have us a real good time.
Is that the best you can offer, a good

time? Well, along with this, it's to pay
for you to give me a party.

That's all it takes, sugar.

Why would you go and do that for?

So you don't drive off creepy when you
find out you've been busted.

Solicitation of a sex act for money.

It's called prostitution. Hey, I ain't
no prostitute. Same law applies to the

tricks. We call it equal opportunity
enforcement.

Let's go, pal.

Come on.

money when the streets are full of
blonde -haired, blue -eyed entrappers?

can always move on, ladies. Set up in
another city.

Ah, police harassment. That's what this
is.

Continue the economics lesson, Junior.
There's something I want to check out.

What can I say, ladies?

We're drying it up.

Creating an environment free of lust and
moral decay.

Making this a better place to live, to
raise our children.

I don't believe the trash coming from
this man's mouth.

Hey, what about it, honey?

$50 bill paid for the whole night?

Stacy?

God, Paul.

No, Stacy, get out of here.

Just get out.

Hey, what gives?

Looks like you made your righteous
offering. You gave him a pass.

Hey, wait a minute. I've seen that car
before.

Well, get back to work.

I want you, Danny.

The name, Kelly.

I want the name of the guy who's burning
my porno investigation.

Get going or I'll blow your head off!

What'd you turn?

Night watch CP is still set up. Romano
and Stacy are running a grid search on

each side of the alley for 20 blocks
where he was last seen.

Anybody turn his wheels?

He tossed everything that moved since
the shooting. Nothing.

And the prostitute you recognize in the
motel room? Kelly LaRue. We put the word

out.

Go back to the motel. Want the names and
addresses of everybody registered

there. License numbers for a five square
block area.

Danny Silver Blue Mars is in the parking
lot. Have forensics give the full

suite. And then hit the boulevard
joints.

Put the squeeze on every hustler, every
fly -by -night who could even remotely

help us find Kelly LaRue.

Table that.

All of it.

It's out of our hands. Mine, Lieutenant
Stafford's, yours.

Daniel's work day watch vice for me. He
was with a prostitute outside his

assignment, off duty. We received an
anonymous call.

It was alleged that Daniels was taking
bribes, shaking down some porn

Come on.

Internal affairs is already on it.

They searched his house over.

Tool box in the garage.

Turned this.

It's $10 ,000.

It's a paint job.

Maybe, but it's up to IAD to find out
for sure. One way or another.

What about his wife?

She couldn't explain the money either.

Live without him, Hooker.

Oh, God, please don't let him die.

Do you have any idea what Danny was
doing in the motel tonight?

We just started to watch the 10 o 'clock
news.

The telephone rang.

A man.

He asked for Danny.

I didn't recognize the boy.

When Danny hung up, he said he had a
meet at Piccolo's.

Do you have any idea who the man was?

Danny isn't what they're saying, Hooker.
I never doubted that.

We'll clear his name, I think.

Code blue, intensive care.

Code blue, intensive care.

Thank you.

Paul Majewski just called.

He needs to get a hold of you.

You two still dating?

Occasionally.

Did Hooker turn him around yet?

He's working on it.

Hey, but Jesse called twice before
Romano took that message.

He's the guy who gave you the password
on the boulevard last night, right?

Car recognized?

I'd rather not talk about it, okay?

We're not ignoring the 18 departmental
accommodations, Sergeant, but that

doesn't rule out the possibility of
dishonesty.

Danny Daniels gave his entire adult life
to the force.

He didn't have so much as a hair of a
place in 17 years. The department has to

be sure if we're talking about a
slightest hint of police corruption

press will have a feel. He wasn't taking
any juice.

And he can't defend himself, but I damn
well can.

And I'm not about to sit around, let
this take away the one thing he has

his reputation.

I appreciate your loyalty to your
friend, Sergeant, but I'm sorry we have

through with an internal affairs
investigation.

I'm sorry.

I think you know that.

Everyone would be expecting an honor
guard.

Mayor, chief, attending the funeral.

The commission paying their last
respects.

Above all else, he is a slain cop.

Burial is Wednesday.

He can't have an inspector's funeral,
none with these allegations.

And IAD won't have completed its
investigation by then.

Then I want those two days.

You let Danny's body go to the ground,
dishonored.

How are you going to feel if the next
morning evidence surfaces that clears

name?

Just take this to the desk, Sergeant.
I'll take care of it. Right away.

We've got 48 hours.

The entire vice squad has been put on
ice, so we're hit.

Well, this Kelly LaRue has gone up in
smoke.

Vanished. Well, besides the crater, that
shotgun cut in the mattress, I've got a

good idea what she's running from.

The best we can turn up on Kelly is an
ex -roommate, Sandy Wazinski. She's on

the run, too.

Seems she couldn't cough up a $5 ,000
fine for 26 prostitution busts from

turning into a year of counting time.
Any idea where she's running to?

book guys have a high -rated rumor she's
trying to make the fine on the tables

at an illegal gambling spot on Avalon.

What's your turn on Danny's logbook?

Two entries including Kelly LaRue.

Both times, he bought her lunch out of
Secret Service funds.

Then within a week of each meet, he
deployed for warrants to search post

boxes that were supposed to be part of a
porno distribution system he was trying

to craft. What did the search warrants
do?

Came up dry both times.

What about the meet last night at
Piccolo's?

Has that been logged?

Well, we know he came by the station,
but it's not booked.

The street sources said that a man
meeting Danny's description was at

about 11 last night.

And that he left with a woman matching
Kelly LaRue's description.

Lunches, late night rendezvous to $10
,000. Maybe there was a romance going at

Kelly's pin projector too.

It could explain why he didn't log
Piccolo's or the motel room last night.

Could explain it.

It's not the theory I'm working on.

It was set up. What makes you so sure?

I know it in here.

Come on, let's go.

Stacy, get your boulevard clothes on.

I've got a prostitute cat.

What makes you the precinct's leading
critic all of a sudden?

I gave up blind faith a long time ago
when I got burned in the same kind of

situation Hooker's getting into.

Out that 100.

100.

100 to you.

100.

Let's see.

Full house, gentlemen and ladies.

Straight flush.

Cheating.

I know.

It's the only way I can win around here.

Now, wait a minute, fellas. Hold it.
That's a plant.

Miss Wazinski, police officer.

I have a proposition for you.

Savings out.

I'm not amused. I could book it in at
the station.

$5 ,000 in illegal gambling money.
That's my money!

I want it.

You want to help me find Kelly LaRue?

Or do you want me to follow procedure
and book the money and turn you over to

the sentencing court?

That's blackmail.

You're supposed to be a cop.

Okay, if I help you, can I get the key?

It's the only way you're going to get
it.

You're a real sleazeball, you know that?

26 arrests for prostitution, you call me
a sleazeball?

Well, yeah, I'll have those with humbug.
You're a retrograde.

And fantasy and paranoia have become a
way of life. That's your problem.

Retrograde. Retrograde. Want me to spell
it for you? R -E -T -R -O -G.

Something like that.

Yeah.

Daniels is dead.

What about the girl? He missed her. You
know that, don't you? He missed her.

Make sure he doesn't miss her next time.

I want Kelly LaRue dead, too.

You hear me?

Yes.

You don't want me to kill the
prostitutes?

messages, including the ones for
dispatch.

I want you to stop calling Paul.

I meant what I said. It's over between
us.

Now, like I was telling your friend,
Hooker here, Kelly Rue has not been my

roommate for over a month, which is why
you should just give me back the key and

let me get on with my life.

The life, you mean?

Yeah, well, I told the judge I'm sorry
now.

It's all behind me.

As a matter of fact, when I get out from
under the seat, it's Vegas time. I'm

going to be a dealer.

You say that Kelly LaRue graduated the
porno film. Some people think she was

tricking in a motel on the boulevard
last night. Kelly LaRue never used the

boulevard motel.

Like I said, she was out of the life.

How long ago was it she made her screen
debut in porno films?

A couple months.

And where did she make her first
connection in showbiz?

Dive on the boulevard, Piccolo's.

Some slug named Moloch recruited her
after he kicked the hell out of her pimp

and set him running.

I think you and Corrigan should work out
a way to get Stacy a casting session.

While you track down Kelly LaRue?

Yeah.

Me and my new partner here.

Manager Willie Valdez stayed on the
second floor, room 204, the third door

the right.

Valdez, was he your manager as well?

I didn't need a pimp hooker. You know,
like the veteran ballplayers, I was a

free agent.

Experienced countless times at bat.

Makes sense.

Yeah,

where do you live?

Where do you lay off?

It's your party, remember? I am the XRT
waiting to start a Vegas career. XRT,

you stay here.

I can take care of myself, thank you.

What are you looking at?

I'll take care of you, too, Hooker. Hey,
what you guys want from me?

Well, here's a cop, Willie. If I were
you, I definitely wouldn't trust you.

man. Oh, man.

I thought it was more like coming back.

I swear to you, guy, I'm going to make a
good job.

More cop with more guns in my hand. I
swear.

You got to stick your fingers, you know
that?

True. But I also have great legs in the
wedding process. That's true, too.

You say Mollick was here?

Looking for Kelly LaRue?

Dude, he's a stone killer.

Look how you did that. I don't want that
guy in my face no more.

Where did you tell him he could find
her?

Hey, man, I don't want his kind of
trouble, okay?

Don't need my kind of trouble. Now
listen to me, Boxer Bridges.

You waste two more seconds of my
valuable time and I'm going to squeeze

a paper sack small enough to flush down
a standard -sized toilet.

Okay, okay, okay.

I might have mentioned to Moloch that
Kelly has a casting. They used to work

a bar on the boulevard.

The name of the club is the War Wolf.

Her name is Victoria.

I swear to you, I don't know what she's
doing now.

Thank you very much.

You're very welcome.

He's polite, too.

You know, despite the fact that I do not
trust you, I have been doing my best to

make a team effort here, and you're not
making it easy to take.

I'm getting my $5 ,000 worth.

So ease up. What's the big push?

The big push is a murdered cop is not
getting a fair shake.

And I'm trying to make it straight,
okay?

Okay.

I understand.

3 -16, give me a meet location, Hooker.

We got a rundown on Mullick.

Gargan, there's a bar at the south end
of the boulevard. Oh, and Club Waldorf.

That's a roger.

that cop Daniel's information.

I already admitted that to you.

And I promised that I'd make it up to
you.

He said you just wanted to take pictures
of him and me so you could roll him

over, not kill him. I didn't kill him.

He tried to kill me.

Hey, hey, that's not so, Kelly.

Nobody's trying to kill you. The whole
thing has been a big misunderstanding.

Oh, yeah?

Is it a misunderstanding that Malik is
turning the streets inside out looking

for me?

He's just trying to find you so we can
talk, that's all.

Maybe I should talk to the cops. What
about that?

Not good, Kelly.

Besides, who would you talk to?

Doria.

I told you you might know a friend of
mine.

Kelly LaRue.

Police officer.

So what?

Hey.

Looking for a girl named Victoria, Kelly
LaRue's cousin.

Hey, what's the matter?

Did you hit a man?

Check it out, guys.

Back off. Police business, fireball.

See the badge?

See the badge?

See it?

My partner asked you a question.

Now, we'd like an answer before I roll
you into a tiny little ball and I bounce

you to the other end of the ball.

Victoria owns a beef boutique on
Madison.

Across from City Park.

You answer the same question for this
man.

You're being rude again.

About a half hour ago.

Thanks a lot, doll.

You're all lucky we did not book you on
a 647A.

That's enraging public decency.

Now behave.

Let's go, kid.

To the mirror.

On that goes.

Hey, kid.

Uh, Wisinski.

You did okay.

I'm a good study.

That's 647A1.

Oh, whatever.

I know I was laying in on you for making
a quick judgment on Daniel.

But my decision about Paul wasn't as
quick as you think.

As far as I'm concerned, the evidence is
in on it.

And none of it your fault?

That crossed my mind for exactly one
second.

What he did so completely turned me off
that even if it was my fault, I wouldn't

be interested in correcting the problem.

Besides, he wasn't the love of my life,
you know?

Good. Then I'll volunteer to help you
keep looking.

Thanks. But I haven't needed help since
I got my braces off in the ninth grade.

Shall we get to work?

I want to nail that porn movie
connection at Piccolo's.

A little early for it to be closed.

now.

Hold it!

This Sandy Wyszynski, where is she?

I don't know. She wasn't here when I got
back.

And after seeing that, she's probably
running, scared.

I don't blame her after what I put her
through.

You're supposed to stay out of the
Daniels investigation, Hooker.

I got a reprieve.

I was making headway.

Don't you understand how all this is
going to look? That girl you've been

running around with is a bail -jumping
prostitute.

She's my source of information.

She's the only way I have of finding
Kelly LaRue.

Look, Hooker, I understand you want to
clear a friend's name. I'd like to do

that myself.

The man worked for me, but we have to
let IAD do their job.

That's not for me. IAD isn't doing their
job.

Where were they when that woman was
filleted and hung in a meat book?

Where are they in finding Kelly LaRue?
It takes time. They do things their way.

Downtown has ordered both Captain
Sheridan and me to make sure you back

You let IAD handle it. All of it? 17
hours.

That's all I got left. 17 hours.

And Danny's laid in the ground,
dishonored. I'm not going to let that

Booker, you've got nothing anyway. The
girl is gone.

You let IAD run with Moloch, and I'm
telling you, that's an order.

It's an order.

Well, I got my problems, too, you know.
I mean, how the hell am I supposed to

know where she is?

I want her dead.

Or it's over for us. Do you understand
me, huh? The business, the money,

everything, it's over.

Just tell me where to look.

Like that cop.

I'm running out of leaves, Andrew. You
just find her.

I came that close to locating the porn
factory last night.

Did you get burned or do you have a
return invitation?

I can go back, but not till next week.
But the place connects, we're sure of

The bartender made a call from the pay
phone to try and get me a casting

session. If it's a toll call, we might
be able to run down the location.

Good.

Get a Dun & Bradstreet and a State
Corporation breakdown on Piccolo's

while you're out.

Hi.

Hi.

Thought you wouldn't stop running till
you hit Mexico.

Well, I was up all night making some
hard decisions about whether it's safe

not hanging out with you.

Oh, yeah?

Lock or key have anything to do with
your decision?

Not a smart guy.

Tell me.

She called. She said she can't trust
anyone, especially the cops.

She can trust me.

Well, there's no crazy reason that's why
I called her. She said for me to bring

you to a meet at a very public place.

Chase Park.

Chase Park.

Stay with Piccolo.

Hold it. All of you, you're not going
anywhere.

Cap, we got three hours.

And Kelly LaRue agreed to meet Sandy and
me at Chase Park.

Nobody else.

To hell with the chief's orders.

I agree.

Go, go, go!

Yeah.

Yeah, put Moloch to work.

I found Kelly LaRue.

She's on her way to meet Hooker.

What do you

think

of Winger? What?

Sandy Winger.

What's wrong with Sandy Winger?

Wyszynski. Wyszynski.

God bless you. Right. Now, couldn't you
just see me in Vegas dealing blackjack

with a Wyszynski blaster across my
chest? I wouldn't get any tips.

What?

Where?

Sandy Winter. It has a nice ring to it.
Yeah, like a doorbell.

Oh, no.

Good. Good.

No.

Not that I wouldn't want to. It's just
that that old profession kind of scares

me. You're giving it up.

Las Vegas, blackjack, remember?

Yeah, but I couldn't lie about what I
was.

I just couldn't.

Right guy could handle it.

Could you?

You know what the best part was?

I mean, before my dad kicked off, my mom
had to go back to work.

That.

She'd sit on a bench, and she'd watch
me, and I'd just swing.

And I'd swing so high, and nothing could
hurt me, because Mama was always there.

I'm talking Bryant Park, Midtown
Manhattan, by the Fifth Avenue Library.

She been there? No, no, I haven't.

Danny Daniels was brought up in
Manhattan.

Lisa, tell me about those days when we
weren't stakeouts together. You had some

fun, man, with some Brian Park.

Oh, man, so do I.

Help!

Police!

Help! Police!

All right, all right, all right.

Let me through, please. Let me through.
Let me through. Police.

Call an ambulance. Quick, call an
ambulance.

I'll kill it.

Oh, God.

I shouldn't have trusted you.

No, no, Kelly.

Sandy came here to help you. So did I.

Who did this to you?

The same people who set up Daniels?

I didn't.

They sent pictures.

Not killing.

Pictures. Were you giving information to
them?

Poor, no.

Not good, though. They found out.

Who? Who found out?

Andros.

And who?

gone at the bar.

Negative, Hooker. It wasn't a toll call.
There's no way to trace it. Yeah.

The Dun & Bradstreet on Piccolo. Has it
come in yet?

Roger, 30. It just came in.

It's owned by a holding company, Rectime
Incorporated.

Check the board of directors. Does the
name Andros appear anywhere?

Yeah, I think you're onto something,
Hooker. Andros Margolis listed as

president. Now check for property
holdings.

The holding company owns one.

Warehouse, Commerce Street, 10 ,021.

Got it.

Hooker, what does it all mean?

I hope it means the porno studio that
Danny was looking for.

Nice show, Hooker.

Is that what it is?

A show?

I don't blame you for what you think,
but you're wrong.

You know, Kelly was a lot of things, but
she was also my friend.

She's dead. You don't even care.

We each lost a friend.

Right now, I'm trying to make it up to
both of them.

Cops.

Man, you're just like my old man. You
never, never quit. No matter who you

on, do you? Your job is done.

Taken.

Just like that?

All the whore wants is her money. That's
what you think, huh?

Well, I think.

That you're half right about Kelly being
set up.

And I know it's foul. It's lousy.

Yeah. Danny didn't log his last entry on
his meeting with Kelly

because his boss sent him.

Told him that Kelly would give him the
name of the cop who was burning his

investigation.

That cop was you.

Kelly had to die before I could put it
on again.

Now I have to cover it all up again.

Money is just too good, Hooker.

At least you died taking out a real bad
character.

Isn't that always how you wanted to go?

Isn't it?

Bad mistake, mister.

I wouldn't.

You should get the best reason in the
world to blow your head off.

You helped me give a friend an honorable
burial. I'll never forget that.

You're a man of your word, Hooker.

You're okay, too, Wazowski.

I like the way you say that.

Wazowski.

Wander is kind of bland for a card
player.

Well, that isn't you, that's for sure.

Think I should stick with Wazowski?

You'd get my tip.

I hope Sandy finds what she wants in
Vegas.

That hooker even backed it up with a
phone call to a pit boss.

Thinks he's gonna give her a shot.

Loyalty. One of Hooker's better
qualities.

So I was wrong.

What do you want, blood?

What do you think, Ben?

Ah, poor it'll do.

Don't hurt me.

If you ever need anything, I'm a phone
call away.

Thanks, but I probably won't call.

I should have Vegas locked down in a
week, two at the most.

Of course, it could stay a while.

Wouldn't want you to miss that
appointment.

You're too confident.

I'm not confident, Hooker.

It's just that I'm a lot like you.

What?

You're the best at what you do.

And so am I.
