Thank you.

Flight 405 from Portland is now arriving at Gate 3.

Is that their plane?

Yeah, that's it.

You nervous?

A little.

I haven't seen them in six months.

Did you reach Romano?

He's still waiting at the house. There's no sign of the housekeeper yet.

What's she like?

Mrs. Parrish, she's top of the line.

I spent three hours interviewing her and two days checking her background.

Count on you, Hooker.

So how long are they staying?

Not long enough.

Two -week spring break, and then I got to ship him back to Oregon.

I'm not going to get my two -week vacation now.

Daddy!

Sweetheart. Hi, big guy.

How you doing, huh?

Great, but we missed you. You did? Well, I missed you, too.

How's it going, Dad?

Going just great, now that you guys are here.

Wait till you meet the housekeeper I hired.

Her name is Mrs. Parrish. You're gonna love her.

How old is she?

I don't know. Middle 60s. She comes with great references.

Terrific. I bet she knits all the time, too.

Yeah, it doesn't feel like much fun, does it?

Hey, you guys.

With the things I have planned for us to do in the next two weeks, Mrs. Parrish

won't even earn her salary.

For sure?

For sure.

That sounds great.

How far is your new place anyway?

It's over on Fairview, and it's not exactly my house. I rented it from a

detective who got transferred to another division.

What happened to your funky old motel room, Daddy?

Your dad decided it wasn't a great place for kids even to visit.

You can say that again.

Thanks a lot.

Is there a yard for us to toss a football at the new place?

Oh, for sure.

I have plenty of room for you to go down and out. My arm might be a little

rusty, but... Mom's boyfriend plays ball with Tommy a lot.

It does?

Thanks for telling me.

Yeah. Oh, he's a pretty neat guy.

Come on, man, let's go.

Don't get excited, I'm ready.

Grab it, grab it.

All right, everybody just keep getting to the floor and you'll all lift the

tomorrow, huh?

Thank you, baby.

Gentlemen.

Come on, boys, let's get out of here.

Come on, move it, guys. Come on, come on, come on.

Look, I told you I don't know you. I'm sure that I know you. Here, let me see

those baby blues.

If you don't leave me alone, I'm going to call the police.

Be back, lady. Look out, look out.

One, two, three, lift.

Okay.

Let's go. Come on.

They're never going to be able to make it out of here with that crowd blocking

the exit.

Want me to use a bullhorn?

Save your strength when the new baby arrives, pal.

You're gonna need it.

I'll just get my hat.

Careful. There's a cop.

Can we clear the drive, please?

There's another one by the car.

Yes.

Hey, what's the problem?

Ah, stroke.

Gone before we could get here.

Quite a few people at the track today. Want an escort out of the lot? Oh, no,

no, no. I think we can handle it all right.

Thanks anyway, huh?

Hold on a second.

I'm gonna take a look at the body

So what do you think?

I told them we were on the way.

Not bad.

Romano!

Romano!

Hi there.

Romano!

Hi.

I'm Camille.

Camille?

Camille Parrish. My mother twisted her ankle last night and she asked if I

come and help take care of the kids.

Boy, I bet she don't knit.

Well, I'm really embarrassed you're catching me like this. But, well, you

when I got here, your friend Romano was hanging up a house button. He asked me

if I would help him, and so I did, and I held the ladder for him. And he dumped

the pot on you.

Well, yeah, except it really wasn't his fault. You see, the phone rang, and I

jumped, and I let go of the ladder, and down it came.

It was just my mom calling to make sure everything was okay.

Quite frankly, Camilla, we were expecting your mother.

Well, not to worry, because I raised four brothers and two sisters

all by myself. And last summer at church camp, my mother and I took care of the

entire sixth grade class, and that's 21 kids, and everything went absolutely

great. Anyway, I am going to need three nights a week off. I go to night school.

I'm studying law.

I guess that's why Vince and I got along so great. We've got a lot in common.

Well, you must be Chrissy and Tommy.

Yeah. How do you do?

I bet you're starved after you've flied in, aren't you? Yeah.

Well, I have your dinner in the oven.

Great. Oh, this is our friend Stacy.

She works with Daddy.

Hi. Hi.

Can you stay for dinner?

Well, I was expecting a ride home with Vince.

He went to the hospital.

The hospital?

He received a call and he seemed pretty shaken up by it.

What happened?

Terry Stafford.

He was in 16 with Corrigan. They ran smack into a heist at the racetrack. Oh,

bad.

Corrigan? He's still down at the scene with the detectives.

I brought Terry's wife in with me.

Is he all right?

When can I see him?

You know, I wake up every night with the same nightmare. Ever since Terry joined

the force, I keep thinking that one day he's going to drive out of the driveway

in his car and never come back.

I'm sorry.

No.

Our little boy, Michael, it's his birthday tomorrow. We were going to blow

party balloons tonight.

I want you to rest

for a while.

Ramona will take you home.

After you take her home, notify her parents and Terry's.

He was a good cop, Hooker.

You trained him well.

I'm going to find out who pulled the trigger.

He just bought himself a ticket to the gas chamber.

What about Linda?

Romano's with her.

Stacey went over to help.

And we're going to be on this full time until we get some answers.

You're on vacation.

Your kids are here.

I had a long talk with the kids about Terry.

What has to be done.

How do you got?

Not much.

M14 with blood on it dropped during the getaway. I think I had to shoot it with

one slug.

Either one was shot, Terry? No, it was the driver, but I got a good look at all

of them. How many?

Three males, one female. The men were dressed like ambulance attendants.

The guard cleared them when they said they had to go to the aid of a stroke

victim. Cleaned out the cage of more than 500 ,000. Took off in an ambulance.

I put out a broadcast, but it was wearing stolen plates. Get a trace in

rifle. A lab report on the blood.

And start working up composite sketches on the faces you saw.

That's a door -locking device.

That's what held us in. Otherwise, Frank and I would have been all over them.

Who spotted the ambulance first?

Well, Don was inside. I saw them when I came out to pick up some coffee and

donuts.

Yeah, now, the dispensary's over there, but the ambulance pulled in right here

before I knew it they were into the corridor with the stretcher.

Yeah, when I unlocked the door for the coffee, they pulled guns and forced

way in now.

I'm a trained cop, Sergeant.

Uh, retirement disability, you know, and there was nothing I could do to have me

caught. You pick up coffee every day at the same time?

Yeah. Right on the break.

Sometimes I do it, sometimes it's Frank.

Why? You think maybe it's an inside job?

Or one that was cased very well.

Hey. Hey, Hooker, when are you dudes going to let me go home, man? I got a

and three kids, you know what I mean, man? Yeah, I know what you mean. The

detectives tell me that you had a long conversation with the nurse at the

ambulance before the heist.

What was that all about? Hey, what do I know about what I was talking about,

man? I ain't your snitch no more. I ain't nobody's snitch. Let go of me,

Let go of me. Damn fine cop was just blown away.

I want to know what you know.

I want it, Eddie.

Let me see your eyes. No. Let me see your eyes. Come here.

Let me see your eyes.

Okay. Hooker.

Okay, man. Okay. I popped a little mescaline. That's all, man. Just...

Just a little.

Listen, you can check my arms. Check my arms, man. You can check the soles of my

feet. No needle marks, I swear to God. There was enough drugs inside your car

supply a small pharmacy.

That means you've been a bad boy.

What did you say to the nurse? What did she say to you?

I don't know, man.

She just had these legs, you know, that wouldn't go away. So I was going to just

lay a little number on her. But, man, she just put me down like that. That's

That's all?

Any more? Any more? I got to look under her shades.

You're not going to bust me, are you, man? Well, I don't know. I'm going to

think about it.

While you ride downtown.

Downtown? Well, you've got to look at her. That means you can make an I .D.

the mug shots.

You do that, and I'll forget I ever saw you. What I .D.? What if I can't make an

I .D. now? I've got a wife. I've got three kids. I've got a wife.

I've got a wife. I've got a wife and three kids.

I stopped on the way to pay my respects to Mrs. Stafford.

At a time like this, there's nothing you can say that makes any sense, but say

it anyway.

What in hell's name made any of us want to be cops in the first place? I don't

know, Pete. I wish I knew.

You know, I hate to ask this, Hooker. I know the kids are down and all, but

we're going to need all the help we can get.

Kids have already been handled.

Pull them on out of the black and white, put us in soft clothes, and I'll have

this case wrapped so fast they'll never miss me. All right. But meanwhile, I

want you to put in the reins on that, Tim.

Is that an order or a request?

A favor.

No.

I was waiting up to let you know that everything was under control with the

kids. That they're all settled in and unpacked and everything.

Great. And also that I took the liberty to put my things in that bedroom off the

kitchen. Oh, okay.

Okay. Thank you.

Kids missed you at dinner.

Yeah.

First night in.

I should have been there.

They said they understood, but their mother used to say the same thing.

I saw on the news that the officer killed was from your precinct.

My boyfriend's been talking about joining the police academy, and every

talks about wanting to be a police officer, I just don't know what to tell

Tell him it's an honorable profession, and we need good cops.

I can't help but thinking what would happen if he were out on the street some

night and ran into some crazies the way your officer did tonight.

He got himself all shot up. We'll get the ones that did the shooting today.

They made off with $500 ,000 in hot cash.

But they'll get greedy for more.

Or someone will get greedy when it comes time to divvy up what they already

have. And then they'll make mistakes.

And that's when I'll be in their faces.

To make them sorry they ever pulled a trigger.

Good morning.

Morning, Daddy.

Hi, Dad.

Good morning.

I get it.

Would you like some breakfast? Make a terrific omelette.

Uh, take a ring cake and the omelette.

What time did you get in last night, Dad?

What's this, a bed check?

See if I made curfew in time?

He just wants to know so he can tell Mom.

Oh, great. You're going to tell Mom. Oh, I do not.

I know what it means when a policeman gets shot.

Did he die?

The policeman?

Uh -huh.

Yeah, he died.

Daddy, when you were shot that time, when you were in the hospital, remember

when we were waiting to see how you were?

Sure, I remember.

When I woke up, I was never so glad to see anybody in my life.

While we were waiting, I heard someone say you were going to die.

You did? Who said that?

A nurse.

Mommy said you were too ornery to die.

Sure. See, that's right. I am.

I got to hide like a crocodile.

I mean, nowadays, the bad guys know better than to shoot at me because the

bullets just bounce right off.

God, come on, Dad. Give us a break.

I'll give you a break. I'll break your arm. No, the other one. That's my

swimming arm.

I'll break the other one.

Okay. Jim, we may have gotten lucky.

We've had three teams tracking that rifle from the heist.

Ran its registration down to the 18th Street Armory. Was the rifle stolen?

Don't know. But only the guardsmen have access to the weapons, and the one we

recovered was issued to a Dale John Hunter.

The picture they have in his personnel file is the same guy I traded shots with

at the racetrack. He has a North Hillside address.

That's high -priced real estate.

Yeah, but when he's not being a stick -up man, looks like hunters are working

stiff. They have his occupation listed here as a houseman for Mr.

and Mrs. Thomas Bingham.

According to his records, this guy's an expert marksman.

Caretaker says the owners have been vacationing in the Bahamas for the last

weeks, but Hunter's been here all the time.

Can you say if he was in?

Hadn't seen him in the last couple of days. We've got to consent to search.

Let's toss this room.

Picked a good place to dump the ambulance, man.

Now, we broke down the money, and this is your fair share.

The others are going to split the rest tonight, and everybody will be home

What the... Who the hell I'm...

Caretaker may not have seen him, but he's been back. You want to lay odds

blood matches what we took off the rifle from the host? I know better than to

bet with you. Did the caretaker happen to mention anybody by the name of

Stephanie that Hunter might know? No, why?

What in the hell are you suggesting?

Just because I live next door to the Binghams that I'm involved in some

with their handyman?

We found this in Dale Hunter's room.

Miss Pat, the caretaker said you're the only Stephanie he knows.

He also suggested that you might help us locate Mr. Hunter.

I've never been in that man's room in my life.

I barely know him by sight.

And even if I did, I would hardly consider it police business.

Well, like I said, there's been a robbery and a police officer has been

I would think that's reason enough to cooperate.

Reason enough to insinuate something as personal as that.

Do you think this might have been stolen?

Well, yes.

From the laundry room, or God knows, from my own room.

Maybe. A degenerate creep like that might be after something more than just

lingerie next time.

When the Binghams get back from the Bahamas, I'm going to suggest that they

him. I don't think that'll be necessary, Mrs. Patton.

Oh? Why then?

I just got a blast on the radio from Corrigan. They found Hunter.

Dead. Dale's dead?

Dale?

I thought you hardly knew the man.

I always call servants by their first names.

We'll be back.

A very cold lady. A tough lady.

Two wounds.

One looks like it could have been from the exchange with me at the racetrack.

The other's fresh from close range.

No mistake about him being the rifleman from the heist? Before they took off, I

was as close as I am to you. No mistake.

Who found him?

Watchman over there.

Weekly fire safety inspector.

This car here is registered to Hunter.

I'm under the front seat of the ambulance.

Attendant's gear.

One nurse's uniform with a blonde hair on the collarband.

Ramona, make sure the doc gets a PM and a lab report out as quickly as possible.

You got it.

What about Eddie Downing and the mug shots?

We drew a blank.

But Downing and every witness at the scene of the heist clearly identified

nurse accomplice as a brunette.

And how are you doing on your composite sketches?

In the works, right along with Downing.

J .C., that ambulance.

Any registration?

Sticker on the steering column says it's from Brenton Hospital.

Stolen vehicle report?

None yet.

Check on it. See why it hasn't been filed.

Stacy.

Terry's wife.

How's she doing?

Going back after watch to spend the night.

Esposito and Allen are with her now. They said she's holding up okay.

Considering.

So what are we looking at here? This guy's been shot twice within 24 hours.

All we got are two homicides.

And the scum who shot Terry Stafford is still out there.

Hello? Mrs. Stafford?

Yes, Mrs.

Stafford. I just called to tell you how sorry I am about your husband's death. I

mean... Who is this?

Just a friend. A friend who regrets the passing of your husband.

It wasn't supposed to happen that way, you know.

Nobody was supposed to get hurt.

I don't understand.

What are you talking about?

They're all scum.

Degenerate garbage.

All of them together not worth the life of one fine police officer like your

husband.

I read about his record in the newspaper and they were going to give him the

posthumous Medal of Valor. He deserves it.

Tell me who this is, please.

You're frightening me.

Don't be frightened.

I want you to go to your front door.

There's something there.

Go on. Go on now.

What's the matter Linda?

What is it?

There's money in here. A lot of it.

Please forgive.

The money is for the little one.

There must be thousands of dollars in there.

There's no signature.

Come in and call Hooker.

You're your mom's boyfriend.

Pretty neat guy, huh?

Yeah. And they're thinking of getting married. Yeah, I know that.

I just wanted to make sure that... You guys were happy with the situation.

Oh, we'd have been happier if you and Mom didn't get a divorce.

But we'll be okay.

Well, you know how much I missed you.

How much I love you.

Your mom did the right thing for the family. If I didn't think so, I wouldn't

have gone along with it.

Daddy, you know your friend, the police officer who died?

Uh -huh.

Is he going to go to heaven?

He was a good man.

And a good father. I'm sure he will.

Mommy said that when Champ died, it was like he closed the door of one room and

went into another.

Well, that's a good way of putting it.

I may not be able to get in touch with my friend, but even though he's gone, I

know he's there.

You gonna go to his funeral?

Pay my respects to him, to his family.

Hey!

When I was looking all over town for the troops, I should have thought of your

favorite park.

Tommy. Chrissy.

We got a standing reservation here.

Sit down. Let's have some dessert.

Sorry to break up the party, but I got a call from Stacy.

She's at Linda Stafford's house.

They need to talk to you right away.

Okay, kids. Let's have some dessert to go.

And a little TV before bedtime?

Sure. Camille's going to teach me how to needlepoint.

Clever girl, that Camille.

Among other things? Take it easy, Ramona. She's got a boyfriend.

I'll wait.

That's all I can remember.

I was upset.

I think I've told you everything.

Linda, you should be in bed.

I'll help you check on Michael before you turn in.

A note?

Money?

What do you suppose it all means?

Well, they did over $500 ,000, so maybe it was worth $10 ,000 to somebody to

relieve their guilt.

The longer I'm on this job, the less I understand about some of these twisted

creeps.

Courtney's following up at Brenton Hospital.

He asked me to give you these composites. This one's the one Eddie

of the nurse without her sunglasses on.

Recognize the lady?

You make the brunette into a blonde.

You have Stephanie Patton.

I see it She's dead

X -ray 30, silent pursuit of ADW suspect in 69 Green Chevy Impala, west on North

Hillside, Fort Breeland.

I admit I was there.

I saw the girl dead in the car.

I've been around cars all my life.

I mean, people don't know how dangerous an automobile can be.

I mean, you leave the motor running in a car in a closed garage.

I mean, the fumes could kill you.

I mean, maybe she was not a happy lady.

What did the coroner say?

You know, I used to work in the coroner's office.

San Diego. You've been around them.

My dues.

You're going to wind up paying for murder. Forget it!

I didn't touch her.

She was like that when I got there.

I went in the house.

And then you show up.

She was found unconscious.

Behind the wheel.

She got smacked on the head.

There was blood outside the car.

And there wasn't any trace of carbon monoxide.

Which means she was bleeding before the car motor was turned on.

And your fingerprints are all over the place, Redding.

Look at this.

This wig.

Matches the hairstyle that the nurse at the racetrack heist was wearing. We

found it.

In Stephanie Patton's bedroom.

We found a scrap of money wrapper that matches those used by the racetrack

cashiers.

Look at this, Redding.

A recent snapshot of Miss Patton and a gentleman friend who was just murdered.

Dale Hunter.

Murder among thieves, Redding. That's what was going down.

Either a double cross or a disagreement about the split.

And you're right smack in the middle of it. I don't know what you're talking

about!

One of you wanted the whole pot of gold for himself.

Either you or your buddy in the ambulance, James Rourke.

Where do I find James Rourke?

If I cooperate.

What kind of deal can I cut? No deals. Spit it out.

I just went to get my share of money!

I didn't kill a girl. I didn't kill Hunter. I hardly even know him. Then

you get involved?

Okay, that's what you want.

Get him out of here. Book him. Let's go, pal. Burn him up. Two counts.

All right!

All right, rock, rock!

He's the one who put it together.

I didn't think he had the smarts.

But somehow he did it.

Eat him, Hunter.

And this nose in the air.

How did it work?

No hunter.

Lively.

They should get their kicks together.

This heist was supposed to be the biggest kick of all.

Maybe the biggest kick was killing each other off.

You killed Rourke, too?

No!

There aren't any ways I've got to say it!

I didn't kill anybody!

There's one way you can say it. Tell me where to find Rourke.

Looks like Rourke beat a hasty departure.

She leaves us with it.

Poor freaky people out there looking for kicks.

You know, I can't figure a lady like Stephanie Patton tied in with the

Even if she was a cold lady, it looked like she had everything she could

possibly want out of life. You have everything, and sometimes you still want

more.

Racetrack security said the thieves used a duffel bag. Maybe Rourke got tired of

carrying his money the same way. Yeah, maybe they figured they needed some

kind of traveling bag. Think he's going to Mexico?

Let's ask his travel agent.

4X830, New York Travel Agency confirms that a James Cork has a ticket on

World Airlines flight 101 to Mexico City.

When is that flight scheduled to leave?

10 .30 tonight.

Roger. 25 minutes from now.

You have a man on your 1030 flight to Mexico City.

I don't recognize him.

Have all passengers checked in.

Well, we have all the three confirmations, but they don't have to

the desk. They can check in at the gate. We want a whole takeoff of that flight.

I don't have the authority.

You saw the badge.

I'm sorry. I'll have to speak with my superior.

What gate?

Five.

Look, I'm taking you to your superior right away.

Thank you.

He just put the others together for me, that's all.

Now he's dead, just like the other two.

If you hadn't nailed Redding, I would have taken him out, too.

Why'd you do it?

Oh, pensioned off by the police force for a bad heart.

Left to scrape by on half pay.

When every day, all around me, there's money, money, stacks of money. You could

say this was just the last fling for me before my heart went on me someday.

I might buy that as a start.

I'm telling you, this thing was just a cracker box waiting for the one guy with

the brains to pull it off.

I made one mistake.

The others?

Fools. They're all fools.

I just needed them to help me carry it off.

There wasn't supposed to be any shooting.

Nobody was supposed to get hurt. I heard about that poor police officer, and I'm

sorry. I'm real sorry.

Yeah, so sorry you tried to ease your conscience.

By giving his widow some of your blood.

Let's go.

Thanks a lot.

Jack?

I'm going to get him now, sweetheart.

How's Linda holding up after the funeral?

Well, O 'Brien said she's a real fighter.

Police Memorial Fund is going to cover all the funeral expenses.

Great. Now she's going to need a lot more of that other kind of help.

It's already started.

Fran called her from Oregon.

Dad, do I have to wear this necktie all the way home?

It's a two -hour flight. It isn't going to kill you.

He just says what Mom just said. He's not taking good care of us.

Am I overdoing it?

Yeah. Yeah.

All right, then.

Except for the three days.

Oh, and then we had you the whole two weeks.

Oh, I guess I shouldn't have complained.

Flight 310 to Portland is now boarding.

All passengers... I guess that's us, huh?

Yeah, I guess that's us.

I guess that's us.

Be cool, Tommy.

Bye -bye, beautiful.

Take care of your sister.

And I'll see you when the school lets up.

I got some really neat things planned for the summer.

Do we get to have Camille back?

Yeah, we liked her a lot.

Okay, you got Camille.

Oh, right.

Take care of this.

And, uh, say hello to your mother.

You gonna be all right, Daddy?

Yeah, I'm gonna be all right.

I'm gonna miss you guys a lot.

Because I love you a lot.

All right, you guys, get going.
