Thank you.

Thank you.

I hate to keep this guy waiting. He's going to throw us a lot of business.

Mr. Steiger's going to give me a medal for this.

You're doing it again, Louie. You're killing your chickens again. Oh, let's

up.

Yeah, it sure is. Good to see you guys.

You got the right idea.

Yo, man, I don't let nobody stick it to me. I don't care if you run this whole

neighborhood. I don't care if you run this whole...

Out of town.

You're looking at a man who knows the inside and the flip side of everything

that's going down. So when you tell me you want $5 to watch my car, I say no

later for that jack $2.

I can't afford to. It's too chilly out here for this sucker to drive in. I gave

you $3 and you got a deal. Now what you gonna do?

All right, man, you got a deal.

Give me a high five, brother, man, and you know it. Let's take this money and

watch my car. I don't want nobody to sit on my car unless you think young lady

up here. What's up, mama?

What you going to do?

Talk to our school. We've got to come back and we can do it right.

I apologize, brother. You've all made me know.

I'm telling you, that's the guy they want in California.

You're right.

That's him.

Louie Felcher.

Louie the Finder.

Let's take him.

Hey, how you doing?

How am I doing? How do you think I'm doing? Setting some alleyways freezing

butt off. You know, I get better service in Detroit.

Yeah, but you can't get better merchandise. Yeah, right. Let me be the

that. Come on, fella. Step into my office. Let's do this quick.

I see the money.

You see the money?

Now, you got to improve on your sales technique.

You going to hold me up next time I'm ordering five keys?

Five keys?

When do you want it? If this is as good as you claim, I'll take the rest

Tuesday. If not, you be the blame.

It's all prepared. I think Mr. Steiger might want to handle this person.

Just set it up, man. Why you got me dealing with this?

Please, hold right there. I guess we won't.

Come on, over there.

All right, all right, all right.

Help me.

Top right pocket, fool.

So the captain calls me on Friday and says, congratulations, Hooker, you're a

detective. You got your gold shield back.

I don't know what to laugh or cry.

And then he says, you're going to go places.

And I figure he's talking about my career.

What he means is, I got to go to Chicago and pick up one Louie the fine culture

wanted in California for fencing stolen property.

Which is how I find myself in Chicago in one of the coldest winters in 50 years.

The only thing between me and frostbite is an eight -ounce mail -order raincoat

I borrowed from Lost and Found.

Tough it out, Hooker.

It's three hours, and you're out of here.

Lunch, John.

Says he found this television on the street during his morning walk.

And you didn't believe him?

Son.

Now Morell is out with the flu. Step three from our unit alone.

Last night I thought it was my turn. I woke up with chills. Excuse me, ladies.

Could you please tell me where to find Captain Pankwitz? Right over there. But

he's not in now.

You're the guy from California?

It shows.

Mm -hmm. You said, excuse me, please, and thank you all on the same day.

Good giveaway.

Captain, I'd like to talk to you about some time off. After I eat, Fryberg.

Oh, Captain Pankowitz, this is... T .J. Hooker.

Sergeant Hooker, right.

Aren't you cold wearing a coat like that? It's freezing out there. It isn't

exactly Hawaii in here, either.

I ought to go pick up my lunch.

You eat yet?

No, but I'll eat on the plane, which leaves at 2 o 'clock, so if I could have

that prisoner. Oh, sure.

Fryberg, bring in Louis Felton.

Sergeant T .J. Hooker.

Detective Sidney P. Stover. You have a good flight?

Forget about it, Sidney. Yeah, okay.

You really should wear a warmer coat.

Sidney, the man has no choice in the matter.

Choices? This man has lots of choices.

I made some long -distance phone calls on you. My dime, my time.

The man is a legend.

Angel Lopez extortion with the farm workers? That was Hooker. The Sunset

Strangler? Hooker nailed that crazy, too. He was hand -picked to teach at the

academy. He is a professor of police.

I mean, my man is high -powered, and you know it.

Yeah. Well, if you'll give me my prisoner and a shovel, I'll dig my way

Unless you want to tell me what's on your mind.

Louis Fletcher can't leave Chicago yet.

Here he is, Captain.

Good afternoon.

Do you want my ride?

I love L .A.

Hooker, listen to me.

Louie was helping us finger this guy, Rudy Steiger. Big dealer.

Wants to get bigger.

Operates a chain of drug supermarkets.

You the connection.

This is my contribution to the community.

We got him for fencing stolen furs.

Well, why don't you get California to rescind the order?

He tried.

They won't go for it.

You obviously had a plan when you came in here. What is it? We lose Louie for a

few days.

I'm game.

That's it?

That's your plan?

Chicago is a big town.

We got a whole lot of jails. And you're going to wind up in one of them pulling

a stump like that. Those days are over.

Captain, if I could have that transportation now.

Sidney, take him to the plane.

And if they miss that flight, it's your badge.

Badge? I don't need this badge.

I got a license in real estate.

Is that the only coach you've got?

Okay, how about this? You just came down with a bad case of Hong Kong flu, which

is very believable. I mean, look at the way you dress.

Where's your car?

This is it.

This is it?

59 Eldorado, mint condition, original leather interior, power seat, power

and a retractable antenna.

How come this window won't go up? It's broke.

Okay,

how about this?

Stop at a light, car gets locked in park.

I can make that happen, you know.

I can't feel my ear. I think it's frozen.

Okay, I got it. Louie tries to escape, gets wounded, so we gotta take him to

hospital. That's it. That's it.

What are you, crazy?

No, man. I mean, I'm just gonna shoot off a tank. any piece of your fire, I

mean, it won't show.

Hooker, he wants to shoot me. I really can't feel my ear.

I love your weather here. Rain one minute, then sunshine the next.

Yo, hang on three more blocks and you might see snow.

What are you doing?

That's only six blocks from here. What are you, the only cop in Chicago? Let

somebody else do it.

I don't feel too good, Jimmy.

Oh, man, what did we do?

Hold on, man.

gun, Hooker.

What's the matter with you?

What are you doing rubbing a liquor store with a toy gun?

Ray needed a fix. A fix?

He needs a fix. He's fixed now, isn't he?

For good.

That's where we're up again.

Come on, man. You got a plane to catch.

Let's just say that there are extenuating circumstances.

They need Louie for three days. I think we should go out.

I know the reality of a court order, but the only operative reality here is we

missed the plane.

And I have a bad case of the hog -cog flu, Captain.

I wasn't properly dressed.

Let me have St. Joe's by three, St.

John's by four, Notre Dame by five. I feel religious.

Put a nickel on each and I'll talk to you next week.

Hooker's got three days to get over the flu. Can you set it up? I'll try, but

what am I going to tell Steiger if he asks me about the bus?

Tell him that you made bail and your lawyer is fighting expedition.

Come on, I'll check you out of here.

Hey, Sidney, I picked up a rumor.

Ain't no rumor, baby. I am, in fact, Chicago's greatest lover. You just don't

know what you be missing.

I think I do.

The rumor is that Tiger has opened up another one of his supermarkets. Maybe

your friend here can find out where.

You keep your ears open. Ain't that right? Sure I will. Thanks. I appreciate

And I expect you to show your appreciation in a warm and sincere

baby.

Oh, please.

She crazy about me, man.

I can see that.

Hey, it's on me.

Thank you.

Roz. Roz Molino. T .J. Hooker. I know.

Well, I hear you joined the department.

Well, I came along for the ride.

Louie's on his way. All we gotta do is wait for his call.

Uh, look, I don't usually go out with cops, but I figure you're stuck here and

you probably don't know anybody, and I got these two tickets to Carmen. Hey, I

love Carmen.

Oh, great. Well, we've got this case we're working on.

Whoa, we as in you and me, we?

Maybe some other time.

Sure, some other time.

Go with the lady, man. I'll keep you informed on what's happening. This is my

case, singular.

It's maybe your case, but Louis Felcher is my prisoner, whom I have graciously

and generously loaned to you, which means for the next three days, We're

Siamese twins. You hit you, I scratch.

Let's go. Go where?

Shopping. I'm going to buy some clothing with some wool in it.

Down feathers, lining, and something.

You're like John Wayne.

He better watch and blow dry California beach ball by the learn he's playing on

my turf.

He gives me any more lip, I'm going to whip his... You just got sprung. How'd

you set it up so fast?

You're talented.

That's why they call me Louie the Finder.

All right, tell him we got a deal.

I'll let you know when and where.

Great.

I'll wait to hear from you.

Come here.

Come here.

I want to show you something.

I love this spot.

A lot of technology went into this.

Yeah, it's great.

Sure is a long way down.

You're going to be a good boy, right, Louie?

Huh?

Huh?

Yeah. Yeah, sure, sure.

Hey,

what's next?

We need supplies on 31st and Maxwell.

I told you that was a good spot.

We just opened. It's already breaking records.

Right. You're always right.

You ready for Siberia? I feel like a mammal again.

Come on, we gotta go meet Louie. Let's go.

What am I, your chauffeur?

All right, I'll drive.

Chill out, gray meat. This vehicle only understands me.

I'll drive.

You drive.

You got a new coat, huh?

You should have let me know. I could have gotten it for you cheaper.

Talk to me, Lloyd.

How about meeting a man?

Steiger? When?

Soon. He'll let me know.

You better get the cash ready.

About five keys worth.

Right. Also, I got a bonus for you.

The new supermarket?

Yeah. It's at 31st and Maxwell.

That's great, buddy.

You all right?

Better than all right.

I don't appreciate a guy dealing drugs, especially one that's dealing drugs to

kids.

Steiger is scum.

I'll be in touch.

He's got scruples. That's why I trust him. Now I'll show you how Steiger

operates.

Steiger sends runners to the different schools to tell the kids when and where

the stores are open.

Look at that kid.

I bet he's not a day over 12.

What are we going to do?

For every one we close down, four more pop up. So we just sit here and watch

them shoot up?

I can't do that, Sidney.

That's why I got to get Steiger.

Cut their head off.

What about that kid?

Now? You're right.

I'm going to take him. Wait a second.

What's your cover?

They work for Steiger.

They'll see you.

They'll see, but they won't see the real me.

Definitely an improvement, Sidney. This is not Sidney, man. This be Ronaldo, and

he be from Jamaica.

What are you doing?

I'm changing my voice.

This way they definitely not know who the hell they be talking to, man.

Where you going, man?

Give you some backup.

Ronaldo like the Lone Ranger. Ronaldo don't need the backup.

Especially from the Beast Boy, who got no jurisdiction.

I soon be back.

I don't need any jurisdiction to take a walk.

The day should soon be warming up.

I mean, it's not like Jamaica, where I'd soon be going back.

Back to Montego Bay, where I'd be fishing all day.

Ah, here we are.

Excuse me, I got a plane to catch. Oh, in the line, Jack. Back up, brother, for

I've seen you do junk in heaven.

Give me a bag of your best stuff.

Oh, it's a bug.

Come here, brother.

Hey, what'd I do, man? I'm busting you for being too damn stupid, brother.

I'd soon be back.

Yeah, I'm okay, man. Go after him. Get him.

You lose your way, mister?

I don't think so.

Better enjoy that. They don't serve beer on the joint.

Yeah, man, you better get out of here while you still can.

Not without you.

There are two ways of doing this.

Now, why don't you just put Haskell in me, man? JoJo, get this honky -kop out

here, will you? He chose the wrong way.

Look, what did he do?

Nothing, nothing. Just another honky -kop, Haskell, and a black man. He was

drugged.

Well, let's go.

Hold it!

You come in here waving a gun around. How about showing some ID?

That says California.

Also says cop.

I'm on special assignment. This man's coming with me. Let's go. That badge

no good around here. No, but this one is. All right, everybody, back up. Get

of the way.

Coming through. Back up. That goes for you, too, bigfoot.

Step aside. Get out of the way.

He's with me.

He takes care of my light work.

Let's go, maggot.

Hey, hooker, the code's leaking.

Close your head.

Back up, man.

Quiet down. We will do this in alphabetical order.

Sure, alphabetical order. I've been hearing that all my life.

Sit down, Mrs. Zwicky. Park it here, Axelrod.

Rest your rump, chum.

Hey, lady, you want to help me with this paperwork?

You catch him, you clean him. What's wrong with you? The least you could have

done, Sidney, is to call a person for backup.

Rinaldo don't need the backup.

Here you are.

Looks like you could use this.

Thanks. Of all the times to bust a bookie joint, no way I'll see Carmen

Tickets cost me 50 bucks a piece. Carmen, I'll take them off your hands.

How are you going to use them?

I think what he's saying is you process them, he makes bail, and he's out.

You, move over there.

Zwicky, sit.

There's something wrong with this system.

Booker, where's Stover? It's Louie the Finder on the phone. I'll take it.

Have you ever heard of fresh and all work and no play? I'm turning into a

dull boy. Louie.

Hooker.

This evening, 10 o 'clock, we'll be there.

There you go with that we again.

Forcing yourself on Sidney P. Stover is not the way to my heart. Well, look at

it this way, Sidney. If all goes well tonight, I'm out of your face tomorrow.

Damn, that didn't go well. This is a Sidney P. Stover operation.

Uh -huh.

And the secret of a successful operation is attention to detail.

So you want plainclothes backup, so you want cameras with infrared film, so you

want traffic monitored within four square blocks.

I leave anything out? So I also want $100 ,000.

Why did I ask?

Forget the ambulance.

Just send the coroner.

Tough break, fellas.

I guess Tiger found out who he was working with.

I guess so.

Where's the money?

It's in there.

In there? You left $100 ,000 in there? Why didn't you bring it out with you? I

don't know. I guess I panicked during explosions.

How am I going to explain $100 ,000 to the police commission?

Who cares?

A good man is dead, and all you care about is the damn money?

Take it easy. Sidney.

Say it was for Louie.

He earned it.

Too bad you have to leave. It's going up to 35 today.

Really? Spread it around the corner.

Take care of it back in Chicago.

You take care, Rob.

Come on, sorry to see you go, Hooker. Don't be a stranger.

I won't.

See you around, Hollywood.

Well, Sidney, your fondest wish come true. I'm going home. Need a ride?

No more car chases.

I promise.

Once more into the Batmobile.

Sure.

What about Steiger?

I'll still try to get him, but it's going to be tough.

You can't risk a meeting.

Yes, people know what I look like.

They don't know what I look like.

Too risky, Hooker. Those guys you busted know you. They'll finger you in a

minute. Not if they don't get out.

They'll make bail in three hours.

Not necessarily. Did you see the daily sheet? I think they look just like those

two guys that robbed that bank. What do you think, Hooker?

I mean, look at them eyes. Look at those eyes.

Look at that nose. Look at that big, fat face.

Come on, Captain.

You put them in a line, round up some witnesses.

We got ourselves a couple of days.

I don't know about this.

Captain. We can take Steiger up the streets.

Why are we talking about it? Let's just do it.

Okay, okay. Work up a list of what you need for a cover. I'll see what I can

I know there's one thing we definitely gonna need. Yeah, what's that?

Another $100 ,000.

I'm Harry Grant from L .A. Yes, Mr. Grant.

We've been expecting you.

Are you kidding, Harry?

Freezing here. Excuse me, Mr. Grant. Don't forget your wife's coat.

My wife's coat is in L .A., along with my wife. Get the picture.

Okay, check your focus.

Everything's ready.

I could get used to this.

Yo, hooker. Look like you've been blessed by the Italian clothes fairy.

What am I, sponge cake?

You always look good, Ross.

Where'd you get that kid's out, mama?

Oh, hands off, Sidney. Belongs to stolen property.

We're all set.

Anybody know where I make contact yet?

We just got a tip that Steiger's Baker Street store is open. You got the money?

Enough to get his attention.

What do you need?

More than you've got.

Tell whoever calls the shot I need a kilo a week. Here's a down payment.

You'll pick up the other half of the ambassador.

Ask for Harry Grant from L .A.

Pasta primavera, smoked Scottish salmon, and lobster thermidor.

You guys have a better per diem than we do. No, you're a big -time dealer from L

.A. You have to keep up appearances.

Big -time dealer from L .A. All they know about is tacos and alfalfa sprouts.

Don't you care for a touch of the bubbly?

Here, Sidney.

Care for a touch of the bubbly? Dried strawberry?

Please.

I just realized something.

Sidney can see and hear everything.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I can't read my thoughts.

Yeah.

Hello?

Yeah, send him up.

It's showtime.

Thanks, Eddie. He just got out of the elevator.

Hiya, he's on the phone.

Let's not nickel and dime them to death.

Send the jet and pick them up, will you?

Who are you?

Freddie Lanier.

You sent for me. I sent for a lot of people.

Do it!

Some fresh memory?

Oh, yeah.

Get the other half.

This is a down payment.

I want a kilo a week.

For the next ten weeks.

Delivery in L .A.

Tuesdays, before noon.

Why only ten weeks?

If you prove you're not a flake, in ten weeks I'll triple the order. Can you

handle it?

Maybe.

My boss will let you know. Your boss?

Somebody has been listening.

Can you believe it? They send a flunky.

Here, take a look.

That's a hundred thou.

Going to your nearest competitor.

I'll take a hike.

I said take a hike.

I just had to check you out.

The meat supper tonight.

Here's the address.

Ten o 'clock.

All right!

The man deserves an Oscar!

This transmitter has a range of a mile and a half.

We'll have surveillance units tracking you all the way.

Try it out.

Working fine.

Nice to see you guys looking out for me.

Oh, they're looking out for the money. After the last time, Pankowitz didn't

want to take a chance.

Well, thanks for the vote of confidence.

Let's go. We've got to get in position before you leave.

So what are you doing after the bus? Well, I thought I'd grab some pizza, get

out of these clothes, take a hot bath.

Have you thought of where?

You

know,

DeSantis sounds familiar.

It's the same place Louie was built.

Oh.

Hey, what's going on?

Sergeant, the grant.

We're going to change and play.

Can you come with me, please?

What, are we playing games here?

Nothing to be alarmed about.

It's okay, driver.

The stag is a cautious man.

831 reports a possible hostage situation involving an undercover.

Suspects are armed. Last seen proceeding westbound on Delaware from Superior. In

a late model, four -door, red over red, Illinois license, George 4, Henry 681.

Anybody getting anything?

This is Air 4. Nothing yet.

If you're planning some kind of number, forget it.

I've got friends, too.

You can get out of this car any time you want.

That's all right. You guys look like upstanding citizens.

I got him. West End Lake, past Albany.

Getting close.

I just passed Manny.

Okay, we'll try a little heat.

But Hook has got more problems. That drug dealer he busted in the bar.

Name's J .T. Foley, and he works for the big man, Steiger. The lawyer went to a

judge, got Foley sprung an hour ago.

Damn, if they see Hooker, he's dead.

We got a deal.

Bring down the rest of the ship.

I'll be right there.

Keep those choppers away.

a me -packing plan.

Remember, no sorry.

Get rid of them.

If I'm dead, they know it's you, Stag.

If they find you, shoot them and then make them into salami.

We wouldn't want them to go to waste.

Yeah.

Be reasonable, you guys.

We're talking murder one.

Let me go and I'll see what I can do with it. Forget it.

Get out!

Good evening, Sidney.

Yo, man, what's up with you and Coach?

Where's Tiger?

Tiger's with the money. Oh, no, the money! I can't believe it! So that's how

am.

This is a flash simulcast.

Units in the vicinity of Sacramento Square.

Unit 3129 needs assistance.

That's the big

You want to read them to Wright? Yeah, if I can remember what they are.

But did you realize what you just did was insane?

What, because you had the franchise?

You had the right to remain silent. Anything you say, I'll do.

Listen, I appreciate it. The flu has gone through here like grass through a

coon. Hang on a second. Captain, this is it. Good by.

Well, Hooker, there's been a slight alteration in your schedule.

See, we have so many people out sick, so we'll need you to stick around and give

us a hand for a couple of weeks. I'd like to help you, but my captain would

never approve. Yeah, he already has.

Hello, Captain. What's going on?

Hi. Sorry I'm late. My alarm clock, you know.

Uh, Captain, I'm very anxious to get back to work.

In California?

Uh -huh.

Well, I'll give them two weeks.

A month?

Captain. Captain.

I'm yours for a month.

This is insane.

Why didn't you get somebody from another precinct?

Whose idea was this anyway?

Seems people around here have taken a liking to you and they asked for you.

Him. You?

You'll never have me now, Nadine.

Captain, we've got a hostage situation.

Hold up at Illinois Trust.

All right, people, let's roll.

Come on, let's grab a coat.

You call this a coat?

We're going to have fun, you'll see.

One month with Sidney P.

And you never want to leave Chicago.

It's been three days with him and I can't wait to go home. Take the time,

throwing you. Yeah, like mold.

And I want this window big.
