Bill. Bill. Where is he?

Okay, okay.

I'm done. Let's get out of here. Yeah, after I do upstairs.

No, Danny.

Marcus only gave us the alarm lamp for this part of the house.

So we'll be careful. Come on. Danny, Danny. Come on. Come on. Come on. You're

gold man. No.

You're a gold man.

Welcome to the party.

Hey!

Lola!

Lola!

How's business, baby?

Lousy. It's not going to get better with me talking to you, is it?

Well, let's cut it short.

I'm looking for somebody doing business in pearls, silverware, jewelry,

expensive things.

Come on, baby. Do I look like your second story man?

No, you certainly don't look like your second story.

But you're on the streets. You know what's going down.

Are you listening to me?

Sure, I got ears, right?

Well, then talk to me.

I don't know anything.

If you kept those ears of yours open, you might hear what's going on. How

it? What's in it for me? My undying gratitude.

And I might put a good word in for you, but vice.

Okay.

Four out of thirty.

Four out of thirty.

Thirty. Four out of thirty. A 459 silent at 6490 Palms. Handle code two.

I'm on my way.

For item 16, show us backing up 30.

What about 10? You got 10?

Swipe up! Everything can play when I'm working!

requesting an RA unit at my location.

4M30, give me an ETA on that avenue.

4M16 in pursuit, heading east on 6th Street. Two suspects are driving a

sedan.

Jim I could still be

There's

no sign of concussion

You have a sore head for a couple of days, but that should be it.

You are lucky. You are one lucky girl.

Thanks to Jim.

Hey, I'd do it for all my partners.

What about the woman who got hurt in the burglary?

She's unconscious, but she's going to make it.

Take her home, Jim.

Lock her up for the night.

Good thing.

i'll check with you later you get a good night's sleep

I thought you were going to leave after I got to sleep.

That was two hours ago.

Have you slept any?

You know me.

The original night owl.

I'm okay.

Quit worrying.

Yeah, I know. It's just that I keep seeing that

car blowing up and thinking what could have happened.

I've thought about that too.

Two suspects, a man and a woman.

You got the secrets.

Nice to meet you. Welcome back. Good to see you.

Okay,

the M .O. is the same on all the crimes.

They hit when no one's home, both day or night.

The alarms are usually disconnected or circumvented, and entry is made through

cut -out window glass.

We're also running a check on the alarm company's personnel.

Meantime, check your street sources to see if anybody's fencing expensive

merchandise, stereo, silver, jewelry.

One more thing.

These people are dangerous.

Don't forget that. Now, if you get a lead, let us know.

Don't move in on your own.

Okay, that's it. You know, I... Jim.

What were you going to say?

I was going to say that one of us had better say something.

Yeah.

Go ahead. You go first.

Well, I'm sort of confused about last night.

About us.

4 Adam 16 meet 4 Adam 30 on tap 2.

4 Adam 16.

I just got off the landline with the lieutenant.

Most of the houses ripped off in those burglaries have the same security system

installed by the Safety Plus security company.

Coincidence? I don't know, but that's what I'm going to find out.

I'll be in touch when I'm through.

Roger and out.

Mrs. Dreyer!

Are you home?

There is not a thing out of the ordinary, Sergeant Hooker.

Everyone who works here is bonded.

All applicants must have four quality references.

In this business, reputation is everything.

My business results are the only thing.

I'd like to talk to some of your people, Mr. Haynes.

I have shown you the personnel files. Now, isn't that all that's required? I

want more.

If you're insinuating...

Then I'm covering something up.

I can come back with a court order if you wish, my friend.

You knew I had something to tell you, didn't you?

You'd make quite a detective.

I almost was.

I couldn't pass the exam.

They're like ostriches in there. If they didn't see it happen, it didn't happen.

But you keep your eyes open.

Mr. Genesee, about six months ago, we had a guy working here, Marcus Douglas.

I caught him one night going through the customer files.

Now, there's no reason for him to do that.

It wasn't his job.

What happened to this Marcus Douglas?

He worked here about a month and just stopped and quit.

No point in checking out his address.

I already did.

It's phony.

You do good work, Mr. Jefferson.

All units in the vicinity and four out of 30.

Shots being fired at 922 Goldway.

4 -8 -30, your call is code three.

He says you were hungry.

I thought I was.

Yeah, me too.

What are you thinking of?

We've got to talk about us.

I don't know where to start or what to say.

I know.

I'm confused too.

Maybe it was your almost being killed last night.

Maybe.

But one thing I'm sure of, I don't want this feeling to affect our working

together. Nothing would ever do that.

Hooker asked me if everything was okay between us.

One kiss and it's that obvious.

Maybe it's what comes next.

4 out of 16, come in.

You two sure picked a hell of a time to take the code. Sorry.

What have you got so far?

Same M .O. as the other burglaries. Only if this is our burglary team, they've

just graduated to the major leagues.

Killers now.

Bullets to the heart. You find a gun?

No, but judging from the size of the wound, it's either a .38 caliber or a

Hey, Hooker, take a look.

It's not a safety plus protected house.

What's that do to your theory?

That's a good question.

Let's finish up here.

Jim, I want everything.

Make sure they dust the entrance door.

The room, everything.

Go to it.

Stacy, talk to the neighbors. Dig.

We'll pay a fine if he's done his stuff.

Not bad.

What the hell's wrong with you?

I don't want any of the money, Danny. It's blood money.

It was self -defense.

It was murder. You didn't have to kill him. I want out no more.

Maybe I ought to kick some sense into you. What do you say?

Well, you can't do that, Danny. Why not?

Because you'd be killing your own child. That's why.

You're saying you're pregnant.

Yes. Damn you, I'm pregnant.

You figured a way.

Your way to trap me into doing what you want.

Well, it won't work, baby.

Nothing changes.

Only now.

You open your mouth about taking off, you run off, I'll find you.

And I know how to hurt you most.

Got it?

downtown has been getting a lot of phone calls from rich and influential

citizens who don't like their houses burglarized. Any answers? No, Lyle. The

computer's working its way through the Safety Plus client list right now.

That list has over 1 ,200 customers on it. Yeah, but we deleted all the houses

that live in domestic.

It didn't fit the M .O. Same with those with guard dogs.

Every house in the series has a simple alarm system that can be set off by

opening a door or a window.

They got in by cutting an entrance into the glass.

And Marcus Douglas?

His address is a vacant lot.

We're working on it.

After eliminations, we have five houses in the same area that fix the ammoed

potential. Okay. Right heard on those houses for a few nights.

There's just one problem.

The last house wasn't serviced by Safety Plus.

That's right. But the owner switched to Diamond last month.

Before that, he was still with Safety Plus.

It still works.

4 Adam 30 to 4 Adam 16. Meet me on Tag 2.

4 Adam 16, over.

I'm at 38 Huntington Street.

Report of a prowler. Where are you?

Three blocks east. We're rolling.

I'll be around back.

Stay free.

Stay by the door.

Jim, you come.

In there.

I'm all right.

Back him up.

They're going out the front.

There, then.

4 out of 16. We're in pursuit of 459 suspects.

Shots have been fired. The vehicle is the Red Coupe, northbound on Huntington.

Better get a hold of Hooker. Yeah, that's the least we can do.

Oh, Mrs. Bailey.

D .A.

has a charge of burglary he wants to file against you.

And maybe an accomplice to murder.

If you cooperate, maybe I can help you.

Well, what kind of cooperation?

You want your husband.

He is your husband?

Yes.

He's not at your home address. Where is he?

Sorry, I can't help you.

If you're trying to protect him, I can understand that. Protect him?

Oh, my God, that's funny.

All right, all right, all right, all right.

Here, take it back.

Make sure a doctor sees her.

She's scared. She won't talk.

She's obviously protecting the guy.

Yeah.

Who were you protecting last night?

I made a mistake. I'm sorry.

It's my fault as much as yours, Hooker. You're right.

That's why I'm splitting the two of you up as a team.

Pretender O 'Brien agrees.

Come on, Hooker.

Stacy and I have been a team for two years.

A damn good one until last night.

Look, you work together 18 hours a day, your partner becomes like family.

Sometimes they become more important than the job.

That's where I think the two of you are right now.

So what happens?

When you two get your minds back on working together effectively as police

officers, I'll reassess the situation.

In the meantime, your new partner is named Pat Williamson.

Stacy, you work with me.

Come on, Stacy, lighten up.

It's not so bad.

I buy all the coffee.

That's why I'm here.

I blew it and I feel lousy. All right, it happened.

The two of you are getting a little distanced now, that's all.

I hope that's all.

For the life of me.

Duke Morgan?

It's me.

Pat Williamson.

We're working together.

I'm sorry. You caught me a little off guard.

No problem.

It happens all the time. They hear the name Pat Williamson, they expect a man.

The same thing always happens to my partner. My ex -partner. She's a woman,

Always bothered her. Didn't like to be stereotyped.

Me either.

I think we'll get along fine.

Ready to work?

Yeah.

You changed precincts because you wanted to, Pat?

Yeah, a conflict of interest.

My boyfriend became supervising officer, and it changed things.

A lot of precinct gossip, right?

No, I left before it started.

Now, we'll see what we see.

You understand what I'm talking about?

Yeah, you'd be surprised.

Two for a message.

Booker. It's me, Lola.

Oh, yeah, I used to know somebody by that name. She was going to do something

for me. Yeah, well, I did it. I got a name for you.

I'm listening.

Ray Kincaid.

An old friend of mine.

He hotwires cars and sells them in Mexico.

Not anymore.

He moves a lot of stolen goods now. He hangs out around Eastern and the

Boulevard. Word is he's dealing with the kind of dude you're looking for.

I'll say hello for you.

Don't bother.

I bet there is one thing.

Remember when you said you'd put in a good word for me with Vice?

Talk to me now, sucker.

That's Kincaid.

Kincaid!

Oh, no, not you again, Hooker. I'm clean, man. Sure you are.

Hey, you see this?

You see what he's doing?

That's police brutality.

I don't see anything.

Where'd you get your merchandise?

Hey, man, I bite off lots of people, man. Hey.

I checked this merchandise out.

and it ties to a certain robbery, you're in for accomplice to murder. You read

me? I don't know anything about that, Hooker. I just peddle stuff, man.

Give me a name.

No. Give me a name.

Don't get me, Hooker.

You're in the slammer.

Douglas.

Marcus Douglas.

Marcus

Douglas

again. That ties in with his job at Safety Plus.

He furnishes the alarm layout, sets up the houses, and fences the stuff

Full service fence.

Don't let someone else take the risk.

I think it's about time we had another talk with Stephanie Bailey. Check that.

You have a talk with Stephanie Bailey. Woman to woman.

Stephanie, we went to your apartment and talked to your landlady today.

She told us a lot about your husband and the way he treats you.

You don't have to be afraid of him anymore.

He'll protect you.

You don't understand.

I do understand.

You're afraid for your baby.

The only way you'll be safe from him is if you help us put him where he belongs.

Prison.

I told you the truth.

I don't know where he is.

All right.

Then let's talk about Marcus Douglas.

You know about him?

Sets up houses for you and then sells the goods.

We had dinner once at his apartment.

It was on the corner of Melton and Western.

requesting a backup unit at 617 Melton.

There goes our Danny Bailey connection.

We're back to square one. Not necessarily.

Ray Kincaid bought stuff off of Danny.

So did a lot of others.

There's a regular thieves market down on the docks.

I'm going to bring Corrigan and his new partner in and see what they can dig up.

They know my face down there.

Check out this junk.

Flea market?

I need good stuff for my buyers.

Sorry, man.

This is all I got right now.

Well, who do I talk to to get something with a little class?

Expensive. Oh, come on, sugar.

Now, I know you can do better than that.

How much are you willing to pay?

Hey, whatever it is, man.

Hey, you get it.

And my man here, he meets your price.

You just make sure it's quality merchandise.

You hear me?

Yeah, well, if you got the money, maybe I know somebody I need.

Come here, pal.

You'll call me soon. I go somewhere else.

Okay? I'll see you around.

Me? Of what?

Somebody else is working with Jim.

Maybe.

Maybe I am.

I just feel like she's doing my job.

Does that make sense?

It does to me.

You and Jim were a team.

You put your lives on the line for each other every day.

But there's a line you can't step over.

So we stepped over that line and you got hurt.

He'll never forgive us for that.

Look, you and Jim are attracted to each other, it's natural.

But you're in the one job in the world, maybe, where it won't work.

How'd it go at the dock?

Uh, we got a nibble, now we're waiting for a phone call.

Uh, you two met?

Officer Williamson, Officer Sheridan?

But now, Hooker?

Well, just like always, we keep at it.

Right.

Well?

She a good cop?

Oh, not bad.

Not as good as some others I work with, but not bad.

No, she's pretty good.

Not bad.

No, she's good.

Not bad.

Hi, Jim.

I'm sorry to bother you. Hey, no problem.

Come in, come in.

About this thing between us.

We've got to settle it one way or another.

Yeah.

How do we do that?

Maybe by looking at what it really is rather than what we made it into.

You mean the car crash pulling you out?

Yeah, you saving my life.

That's what really changed us, right?

I mean, if it had been Hooker you'd saved instead of me, just a plain cop.

You understand?

Not just a cop who happened to be your partner and also a woman.

Hey, what, have you gotten sexist on me?

I think maybe we both went sexist.

Yeah.

I think maybe you're right.

What I really miss is... Our partnership.

You and me working together.

I just want us back the way we were.

That's the way you feel?

That's the way it's got to be.

Yeah. I want that too.

And what do we do about it?

Find a way to convince Hooker.

Yeah.

I'm listening.

Hey, if it's really good quality, sure.

Same warehouse. You got it.

Some woman picking up in that contact I made at the docks to buy stolen goods.

Want me to call Pat for you? No, let her sleep. We worked all night.

Well, then I'll go with you. Are you kidding?

You want her to have our heads?

Excuse me. I got to finish dressing.

Where's that famous Sheridan morning bounce?

I'm working on it.

4 Adam 30, Lieutenant O 'Brien is on tact.

4 Adam 30.

Thought you ought to know that Stephanie Bailey was bailed out about a half hour

ago.

How could that happen?

At her arraignment this morning, the DA only filed on her burglary charges, and

the judge said that he had to set a reasonable bail.

Nobody would bail her out except her husband. I know.

Sorry, Hooker.

I'm out.

Hooker, it figured.

The call.

What call?

The one that Jim just got. He said it was from a woman at the docks responding

to his contact.

He's on his way to meet her now.

It's got to be Stephanie Bailey.

That's good thinking.

Hooker, she'll recognize him.

From the station.

You the buyer?

You the buyer?

Yeah.

Well, we got some merchandise outside in the car.

I know you. You're a cop.

You gotta help me. It's your chance to get out.

I can't. He's outside. He'll know everything.

Why is she nervous?

No reason.

He's a cop, isn't he?

Huh?

Yeah.

Yeah.

What do you think? I don't know this woman. Cop.

Now move out.

Come on. Outside.

I owe you one.

No, you don't.

Or even that.

Can I wear it at the precinct? I mean, what's going on in your eyes?

They're making a new uniform.

Yeah, a pink uniform.

So what's going to happen with Stephanie?

She gets battered wife counseling and a reduced sentence if she testifies for

the state. And Danny?

By the time Danny gets out, he'll be too old to bother anybody.

A toast to your official reunion.

Partner?

Partner.

And here's to Pat, to the partner that got away.

Pat's a good cop and a terrific partner. Well, you've always been lucky. And so

have you, Stacy.
