Original subtitles

You can't be leaving work every day to run me across town. I'm thinking we

should re -examine the idea of my getting a driver's license.

Uh, let's examine this idea.

Cassidy is auditing a forestry class over at UCSF. I'll bet she'd be happy to

help out.

She doesn't want to spend her time running an old man around town.

That's on her desk.

She'll get enough of that in your golden years.

Cold shot, Nick.

Cold shot.

Hello? Good morning, sweetheart.

How's it going?

I'm swamped. Mr. Hornstein's letting me evaluate grant proposals submitted to

Zico Green Foundation.

Congratulations. You've only been there a month and you're already taking over.

Not quite.

Listen, sweetheart, your grandfather's doing a little volunteer thing over at

the university.

I was wondering if you could help out with the transpo.

Yeah, I'd be happy to. I just can't guarantee I'll be available when he

go. Well, don't worry about it. Between you and me and Stacey, we ought to be

able to work it out.

Hold on.

What's wrong?

I heard something.

What?

I don't know.

A thump?

Sweetheart, call building security.

I mean, I'm 20 stories up. It's broad daylight.

The front door is deadbolted. How much safer could I possibly be?

Cassidy?

Daddy!

Nick put bubble on the dad.

Cassidy?

He's still here.

He's still here?

Come on, guys, help him.

All right, here's what you do.

Don't let anybody, anybody pass that door.

Take her out there and keep her safe.

Freeze!

She's okay. Got a bruise or two.

Lucky. Yeah, tell me about it.

Oh, man, it'd take a pair of extra -large ones to do a burglary again. It's

the air.

Yeah, why don't you call burglary? See if they're working anything similar.

If they are, we're taking it over.

Hey, Nash, we got his rig. He got caught up in a tree, and he had to cut his way

down.

Anybody see him? No, nobody saw a thing. We're out canvassing the neighborhood,

but right now, nothing.

How's that happen? Doesn't anybody look up in this city?

A guy scales a building 20 stories up and then jumps off, and nobody sees him.

You saw him.

Besides me.

All right.

You don't bait jump with an ordinary chute. Let's see if we can run that

You got it.

Man, I wouldn't jump off of here for all the beans in Mexico.

Did you jump off here?

If I had me chasing me, bet you're at.

Talk to the owner about everything.

All right. Yeah.

What do you got?

Well, there wasn't no mood ring.

The stolen item was an antique brocade necklace made in St. Petersburg, circa

late 1800s, appraised at, if you're ready for this, 5 .2 mil.

Ah, I hope it was insured.

Is this Hornstein's mother?

Sylvia, the necklace was a family heirloom. It was taken by the Nazis,

in a Swiss bank after the war, and only repatriated to Hornstein a couple months

ago. Anything else taken? Still checking.

All right, call the insurance company.

I need documentation on this necklace and a picture of it. I want to know what

we're looking for here.

Just leave my schedule on top of my desk with my call sheet and then take the

rest of the day off.

Oh, that won't be necessary, Mr. Hornstein. I'll call you if I need you.

Yes, sir.

Inspector, I shouldn't have to spell out how treasured this necklace is to me.

No, sir, that's very clear. I expect this to get top priority.

If you don't think you can find the thief, tell me now.

I'll get someone who can.

I don't think you're going to find anyone more motivated to solve this case

me.

Nice to hear.

Sweet man.

Oh, yeah.

No, you don't have to.

No, really.

She wants to come home.

Look, here's Daddy.

Hi, sweetheart.

Yeah. No, she's fine. Everything's fine.

No, no, no, no. You don't have to come home from Paris.

Stay where you are. She can move in at my place for a few days.

And if anything changes, we'll let you know.

Yeah, we love you, too.

Bye.

I don't want to be the baby for me, either.

Just for a few days. It would make me feel better, okay?

Bye.

I'm glad you're okay, Brett.

Me, too.

I'm going to the job.

Go ahead.

Hey, Nick.

What's that Nick up to?

Well, Nick's been doing some volunteering work over at the University

Center. That's where we were headed until we got derailed by this thing. So,

how's Cassidy doing?

She's okay. She's tough.

Gee, I wonder where she got that from.

Lisa.

So, did you call burglary?

I did.

They're real familiar with this guy. He's pulled at least seven other jobs

they know of, but they're getting nowhere with their investigations, so

were darn happy to hand it over to us.

What's the M .O. on Spider Dude?

Spider Dude works between 20 and 35 stories up. He free ascends. That means

ropes. It's all luxury high rises in office buildings. He enters through

doors or through windows.

What about locks or alarms?

35 stories up. Who bothers? He seems to not only know that his victims are rich,

but also knows that they're not going to be home.

Anything else?

Yeah, he takes only the high -end stuff, he leaves the junk, and before this

morning, his take was between two and three hundred grand per job.

After this morning, he could save himself trouble and buy a helicopter.

What do we got on the chute?

Well, the chute was called a Sorcerer 666, designed specifically for bait

jumping. We know who built it? Well, they're available at several Bay Area

Extreme stores, and this one was completely customized.

All right, let's find out who does this kind of work. And Harv?

Whoever has this necklace is going to try and move it.

So let's run down our usual fences and concentrate on Mr.

Leroy Pink.

Leroy Pink, who's that?

He's a high -end fence, a particularly vile man. The principal proponent of the

theory that cologne is an effective substitute for bathing.

Have fun.

Joe, remember that extreme nutball that jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge about

a month ago?

Yeah, he was a street performer or something. Yeah, what was his name?

Eddie. Eddie Green, right? Yeah, that's it.

Why don't you see if you can run him down?

Think he's our man?

I think he might know our guy.

Okay.

Good morning, sis.

Hey, bro.

Morning, Dad.

And a beautiful good morning to you, Stacy.

How's Cassidy?

Oh, she's okay.

Oh, good. I'll stop by and see her after work.

That'd be good. Thanks, sis.

Let's rock and roll.

Wait a minute, Dad.

Since we're all here, maybe you could explain where exactly it is you're

I told you I'm volunteering at the university.

Yes, but you haven't told me what kind of volunteer work it is.

She's doing the jury summation thing on me now. Stop it, Dad.

Well, you are.

Oh, so you don't care what your father does?

Say, Pete, I'm sure he has a very good reason for not telling us.

Right, Nick?

I signed a confidentiality agreement.

You what?

What are you doing there?

I'm doing a research project. It's engaging. It's keeping me occupied.

it or not, I managed quite well without your approval of my activities for many

years of my life.

I can't argue with that.

I even raised three children.

I always sometimes wonder how well.

I am not going to be made to feel guilty for being responsible.

Stacy, you have to respect his privacy.

I'm telling you, I'm going to be sane. I told you so.

Let's go, Dad.

Great. Wait.

Do you punks know who the hell I am? Yeah, you're the rank -smelling defense

ripped the saw. I told you I would give you the going rank. That's what I gave

you.

No, that necklace is worth ten times more than what you gave us for it. What,

you want full retail on a hot piece?

Go to hell.

No, we just want what's coming to us. I gave you what you had coming.

You know, you should kiss my ring for even dealing with punks like you.

I got more friends in this town than the two of you got teeth.

I'm protected.

We don't care who your friends are, Leroy.

With enemies like us, you're not going to be around long.

Listen, we're going to be moving a lot of high -end stuff.

We need a reliable fence.

Come on, work with us. I'm Leroy Pink, dammit!

If I'm still here in two minutes, you pugs are over.

Leroy, something tells me in two minutes, you're going to be gone.

It's really horrible, Kyle. I don't think I've ever been so scared.

Laying there on the floor all tied up.

I didn't know if I was going to live or die.

Awful. I wish I was there to protect you.

I wish you had one, too.

My dad's good, though. He'll get them.

What?

Nothing.

So what now? I mean, are you out of it, or do you actually have to go down and

ID this guy when your dad brings him in?

I don't know. You know, he was wearing a mask. I couldn't see his face.

Except for his eyes.

I'd remember the eyes.

What, the color?

No, the intensity.

Well, you know what they say. They say extreme sports, to conquer your fears,

you've got to fly in the face of it.

He's just said than done.

I'm sorry, Cass.

It's okay.

Glad you're here.

Cassie, look, I've got to be honest with you.

I know the timing really sucks here, but... What?

I'm just not sure if... What, you want to break up?

No, I...

God, I just don't want anything else to happen to you.

Nothing's gonna happen to me.

Listen, I want you to know, no matter what,

you are the best thing that's ever happened to me.

You better believe it.

So, uh, no second thoughts about Cassie taking a year off school? I mean, even

after this morning?

Bubba, that girl hasn't had second thoughts in her entire life.

I'm talking about you.

Rather, she went to school.

That bus has already left.

Hey, I think that might be our guy there.

Who's that?

I don't know.

Find out.

Hey, you're pretty good. Hey, thanks, dude.

Monetary appreciation is most welcome.

Yeah, Ben.

Bye, Ben.

Yes. There you go. What's your name, dude?

My name's Eddie.

Hey, Eddie. Here's my card.

Ah.

Nuzzling, fire reading, house sitting.

Oh, you don't do those at the same time, do you?

Here, let me give you my card.

Uh, what is that?

Uh, technically, I think it's called skipping.

Oh, no, that's running, isn't it? Well, one of them is.

I hate that.

Hello?

Eddie?

Yeah, the guy in the middle. Get in the car.

You guys should have more respect for the extreme athlete. It's about the

future, dude. And in the future, all Olympic events will be forms of extreme

games. Is that right?

Yeah, because extreme sports is as much about the mind as it is about the body.

It's all about psyching yourself up, dude.

And it takes supreme intelligence to be an extreme sports participant.

Hey, these are burritos, hombre. I asked you for tacos.

I got you both, Eddie.

You dudes rock.

Tony, it's time to earn your keep.

Well, can't I finish first?

Finically.

Can I at least have a sip of my milkshake? Does that count?

It's a beverage.

Come on, dude.

Hey, if you're going to be our helper, you have to help.

You sure I don't need a lawyer for this?

Positive. Look, we're not arresting you. We're not even charging you. All we

want you to do is identify who did these modifications.

Okay, dude?

Wow.

This is totally rad.

Outstanding craftsmanship.

See, they've redirected the flange pants.

Respun the webbing and alternating directions for more control.

Hand -sewn, cross -stitched with mylar thread.

There's only one place that does this kind of quality work.

Eureka.

It's an ultimate sports shop up on Folsom and 9th, run by a couple dudes.

Brad and Kyle, somebody.

Bon appetit, Eddie.

Harvey. Yeah, Chief.

See what you can dig up on an extreme sports store on Pulsman 9, run by a

of guys by the name of Kyle and Brad.

Last names, dates, burnt criminal records. Would be lovely.

It's a credit if you get the shoe sizes.

Hello, beautiful.

So, uh, what's your research?

Oh, you know, routine.

Routine. That's what I said.

Your hair's wet.

I took a shower.

You took a shower?

Why is it that every time I answer one of your questions, you repeat my answer?

It's almost as if you don't trust me. Dad, it's not that I don't trust you.

Honey, it's a university research center.

Cleanliness is their business there. Now, they've got locker rooms and

We've got access to them. It's no more complicated than that.

Fine.

Leroy, what did you do and to whom to end up like this?

Wallet's gone. All the car keys.

Still got his jewelry, though, doesn't he?

Most of it.

Jimmy? Yo.

Listen, his car's over there. Make sure you go over it with your finest dupe

comb, all right?

Nash? Harvey here.

Somebody hung Leroy Pink up by a climbing rope and planted an ice axe in

chest. Not your typical mob head. Oh, good.

I hope Hornstein's necklace was hanging from the ice axe.

If it was, it isn't anymore.

All right, keep the heat on your street contact.

Let me know what you find out.

Right -o.

Morning. Oh, good morning.

Nice day. Coffee?

Uh, no.

Is Dad ready?

He was tying his tie the last time I looked. How long ago was that?

Hmm. I better move him along. That'd be good.

I need to talk to you.

In private.

I am worried sick about Nick.

You heard about this university research program he's involved in?

Yeah, I heard about it. What's the problem?

I think they're testing pharmaceuticals on him. And I'm concerned it could be

impairing his quality of life.

I don't know. He looked okay to me.

Well, that's what's so insidious about it.

Have you looked into it?

I couldn't get anywhere.

Flashing my assistant district attorney's badge just made them clam up

more. Then they flipped me to the university's general counsel.

Get the drill.

Joe, I want to hire you. I know you do detective work.

There's none, and I'm going to come out as Nick.

This is very important to me.

I've tried to talk to Nash about it, but you know Nash.

Yeah, I know Nash. If he thought anything was wrong, he would have looked

it himself.

Joe.

Okay, all right, I'll do it. But I'm not taking your money.

And don't tell Nash.

Sure. Try not to.

I'll try.

Thank you, Joe. All right.

I truly appreciate it.

Okay, I'll let you know what happens. Thank you.

All right, Bubba.

What is it? Come on.

What? You know what. You got that look.

What look? I don't got any look. That guilty look.

Yeah, that one right there. Uh -huh. And don't try and deny it because it just

makes it worse.

You know what? You're getting worse than me. I swear to God. Out with it. Come

on.

I can't.

It's about Nick, isn't it?

I promised I wouldn't say anything.

Who the hell would make you make that kind of promise?

Well, just watch the track. Stacy, right?

Uh -huh.

What the hell is she up to?

All right, she asked me to look in on Nick's situation.

Not a bad idea.

Wait a minute, I thought you weren't worried about it.

I don't know.

Maybe she's right.

Okay, I'm lost.

All right, look.

Whenever it comes to Nick, Stacy and I have always been at odds with each

It's like a Pavlovian reaction for me. Whenever she takes one side, I take the

other.

It's been that way our whole lives.

In fact, if you hadn't tried to keep it from me, I probably would have never

realized how worried I am.

Well, that's clear as mud.

So what do you want me to do?

Look into it.

See what we got, and then we'll figure it out from there.

All right, that's cool.

Oh, but don't tell anybody we had this talk.

No way. I'm a human encryption.

Hey, I got some preliminary stuff on our extreme sports voice. Here's Brad

Armitage and Kyle Chambers, both well -known gonzo athletes, though Armitage

widely acknowledged as the reigning god of base jumping.

Apparently, he climbed up the St. Louis Arch with suction cups all the way to

the top, 630 feet, and jumped off.

Yeah, and he got three lumps in the federal pen for his trouble.

Anything pop up on CII?

Yeah. Chambers has a juvie record.

Armitage was convicted in 95 on two counts of possession of stolen goods.

on probation.

All right.

Thanks, Harf. One other thing.

These guys are suspiciously rich.

I mean, they co -own a 65 -foot sailboat.

They drive Porsches. They flash a lot of cash. Normally, it might not raise

flags, but they're in an underground sport.

There's no money in that. And that store, from what I can tell, isn't

gold mine.

Evan, let's take a ride over there.

How about you?

Uh, what about me?

Uh, don't you have something else that you have to take care of?

Oh, yeah, I do.

Uh, how are you getting in?

Don't worry about it. I've got a very sophisticated plan.

alpha group test subjects beyond this point oh yeah well check the badge i'm

of the volunteers you're beta group you took a wrong turn your experiment's this

way oh hardly

know

each other

Cat tingles.

Is this some kind of airplane study or something?

Remain motionless.

Don't suppose I can get frequent flyer miles out of this, huh?

Tough room, huh?

It's not bad.

Yeah, it'd be, like, loud and insane.

And your point is?

Don't tell me.

Skyboarding. You guys definitely look like a couple of skyboarding dudes to

No, cop dudes.

We're looking for Brad Armitage and Kyle Chambers. Oh, I'm Brad. What's up?

I'm Inspector Bridges. This is Inspector Cortez.

I understand you guys customize base jumping tasks.

Sure. All the time. Why?

You done any work on a Sorcerer 666 lately?

Yeah, I've knocked out a few of them the last couple of months.

Pretty specialized rig, but experience definitely required.

Why? Well, we'd like a list of the names of the people who have had that

particular shoot customized.

Why?

Why not?

Look, man, base jumping's pretty much an outlaw sport, right? I hand over the

names of my customers to the cops, I might as well tell them, right?

Let me just stop you right there.

See, if you don't give me the names, I'm going to go away and I'm going to get a

piece of paper, and then I'm going to come back and shut you down and get the

names anyway, only then I'm going to be pissed off.

Let me ask you something.

Would you happen to own a Sorcerer 666?

I don't jump anymore. I've got a bum knee.

You believe him?

He looks like he's got a bum knee to you.

Nope.

Daddy.

Cassidy.

Hey, what are you doing here?

Uh, I'm working. What are you doing here?

Trying on my new blades.

Um, Dad, you remember my friend Carl Chambers I told you about?

Hey, Mr.

Lewis.

Carl?

How you doing, sweetheart? Where are you going?

Out. Oh, yeah? With who?

A friend.

Kyle?

Dad.

Wait a minute.

Hello? Nick?

No, Nash.

Look, Dad, don't wait up, okay? Wait a minute.

Cassidy, I don't think it's such a good idea for you to be hanging out with

those guys right now.

Look, he's cooperating with you. That doesn't make him a suspect.

Wait a minute.

No Nash.

Well?

Look, there's somebody in that crowd that's a bad guy.

Now, I'm not saying Kyle is involved. Well, then, Daddy, what are you saying?

I'm saying I would rather you didn't hang out with him until I see how this

thing plays out.

Do you see why I don't tell you things? Do you see why I don't introduce you to

my friends? Everyone is suspicious of you.

Cassidy, why don't you just trust me on this one? You work with scummy people

every day. That's their job. But Kyle's not one of them, and neither am I. Wait

a minute.

I remember that.

Is she okay?

I don't know.

How you doing, son?

I'm better, Nick.

Why don't we watch some news? That always makes me feel better.

I'm going to pick some dinner. You go ahead.

Not me. I'm going to micro a burrito. I want to be in bed by 8. I got a big day

tomorrow.

Did you hear that?

He's going to bed at 8 o 'clock.

So? Maybe he's tired.

He's a night owl.

Have you ever known our father to be in bed by 8 o 'clock? No. Beer? Never.

Baby, baby, baby.

I'm thinking that you're overreacting here.

Nash, Nash, Nash.

I'm thinking I'm not.

Do you want to stay for dinner?

How can you eat while some doctor is turning our father into a lab rat?

Listen, I'm hungry.

Up on eats.

I'm going to get to the bottom of this. And when I do, you're going to regret

that you didn't get involved.

No, thank you.

Well, la -tee -da.

Well, la -tee -da -dee -da.

Stay on it Evan one of the names on that list is either gonna be our guy or lead

it to the guy Slow down Later

Bubba What's the problem? I'm only doing 30

You alright?

Too windy when we put the top

What the hell happened to you yesterday?

Oh, I'm not sure, man, but I'm never drinking coffee on an airplane again,

tell you that. Well, you got in all right, didn't you?

Yeah, I got in, but it wasn't pretty.

What the hell are they doing over there?

I don't know. I didn't get in your dad's experiment.

To tell you the truth, I don't know if I'm up for this.

I'm not liking this, Joe.

I'm not liking this at all.

You know, Nash, I hate to admit it, but maybe this time Stacy's right.

Well, I'm going over there.

Well, good luck.

Now you're going with me.

One Caribbean iced tea for the lady, soda water for the gentleman.

Pretty good at this.

I used to be a waiter before I was a cop.

Me too, after school. But my dad didn't want me to work during school stuff.

All right, all right. So, um, what do you want to say to me about?

I need some advice, but I can't talk to my dad because he'll freak out.

Okay.

I think my boyfriend's involved with this stolen necklace.

What makes you say that?

Well, he's been really different ever since the robbery.

I mean, he's been making all these cryptic comments, and it's kind of just

feeling.

Not good.

So what do I do?

Do you talk to Stacy about this?

No. I don't want it to get back to my dad.

Look, if this was about anything else, I would say that you were right.

These guys are playing a dangerous game here, Cassidy, one that you almost lost.

I think you should go to Stacy. You know, if anybody can help him, she can.

You're right.

Guess I just needed to hear it from someone else.

Now you gotta do me a little favor.

Okay?

Don't tell your dad about this little meeting we had because I got caught

between you guys one time before and I don't want to go there again, okay?

Your secret's safe with me.

Okay. But thanks.

You're easy to talk to.

Yeah, so are you.

Excuse me.

I'm Inspector Bridges. I'm looking for a patient by the name of Nick Bridges.

This is a confidential research center. I'm not allowed to... Well, consider

this a walk -on water pass. Now take me to him.

What kind of sick experiments are you guys conducting here?

I don't know. It sounds kind of familiar, though.

What's going on here? I'm sorry, Doctor. He says he's with the San Francisco

Police Department and they're looking for Nick Bridges.

This is highly irregular. I'm sorry. I can't allow this.

Bye -bye, big boy.

See you around, Ellen. Thank you.

Oh, holy hell, I knew this was too good to be true.

Nick, what in the hell is going on?

This place is like a steam room.

Sweetest gig I ever had, son.

They're actually paying me to have sex.

You're kidding me, right?

They're studying the effects of very...

diets and exercise programs on the sexual habits of the 50 -plus

Mums the word.

Uh, Nesman, they're probably taping him.

What?

I never agreed to that.

All right, you pseudo -scientific pervert. We're gonna need those tapes.

Go away.

Hey, no can do, buddy.

We need to talk, Murray.

Get out.

You gotta move something.

You gotta move it fast, and you're the man for the job.

I told you, I'm not in that business anymore.

Yeah, but you just got back in it, all right? You get your standard cut, plus

got a little bonus for you.

Leroy thinks right.

Where'd you get this?

Put it to you this way.

If you don't do this for us, the next piece of jewelry we'll be giving away

be yours.

Make us happy, Murray.

You're gonna see us mad.

Now don't go getting your eye rubbed, son. It was under doctor's supervision.

Aw, hell, Nick, I don't care about that.

I was just worried about you.

I still got to move, son.

I just don't have the stamina.

You know, there is a difference.

For instance, did you know that caffeine actually has a reverse effect on me?

Don't mention the word coffee, if you please, okay?

Hey, what are you going to do about this tape?

That would be an excellent question.

By the way, did anybody call for me?

Yeah, they did call.

But they hung up when they heard it was me. Now I know why.

Hey, so how are you going to explain this to Stacy?

Now, Stacy doesn't need to know about that.

She's already trying to curtail my social activity. She finds out about

goose is good.

Probably for you.

Nash. It's Evan. Guess what I found.

Uh, spider dude.

Close.

Hornstein's necklace.

And guess who had it.

Okay, give me a clip.

Five o 'clock shadow, oily disposition, and purple sketchers.

Murray Crowe. In the flesh.

All right, put him in interrogation. We're on our way.

Uh, more coffee, Murray? Come on, guys, please. I gotta use the head.

I'm sorry, was that a no?

Where'd you get the necklace?

I don't know.

How should I know?

Oh, I'm sorry. That's how rude of me. Would you like a cup of coffee?

Please, if it's not too much trouble.

Not a bother at all. Please, guys, before something bursts... You know,

was... I was set up. I mean, that bed was part of a load of cheap Navajo

I could give you the guy's name in Phoenix.

That is pathetic, Murray.

Even for you.

Yeah, it's unimaginative, too. See, Murray, we're not interested in the B

grade stories here.

We know you're working with our guy. What I want is a name.

I really need to go to the bathroom.

Not a problem, Murray. We just need a name.

Let me make it easy for you, Murray.

Some people are better with pictures than they are with names.

I recognize the guy.

Well, let's just say things would flow better for you.

Well, then you've got to promise me something. If I give you the guy, you've

to take him out.

Murray, we're not hitmen.

We're cops.

Peace -loving, law -abiding police officers.

Well, then you've got to put me away.

Far away. These guys with that command.

Murray, just look at the pictures, will you, please?

Feed two.

You sure?

Yeah, yeah, I'm sure.

Positive? Yeah, my pet teeth are floating now.

Please, can I go to the bathroom?

I'm sorry, did you want to go to the bathroom?

It flipped my mind, I'm sorry.

Evan, could you take Mr. Crow here to the men's room?

Arm, get a warrant from Judge Golan for Brad Armitage and Kyle Chamber.

Put that back in the safe and put that back in the pot.

We need to talk.

About?

Kyle, I want you to tell me the truth.

You mixed up in these robberies.

Cassidy, look. Kyle, I need to know the truth.

Why are you asking me this?

Look, my aunt's an assistant DA.

I talked to her.

She said if you turn yourself in right now and testify against Brad, you'll do

few years in prison.

That's it.

A few years?

Kyle, look, it's not too late.

Yeah, it is too late. It's been too late since the day I was born.

Kyle. Cassidy, look.

It's been fun, okay?

But you're heading down one road and I'm heading down another.

You can turn around.

No, I can't.

Look, you said you wanted to know the truth.

Well, I guess the truth hurts, doesn't it, huh?

Hey, back off, Brad.

You wouldn't be thinking about ratting out your partner now, would you, buddy?

Kyle, let's go. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't touch me. Let go of her. You

bring a cop's daughter in our lives, you're going to give me attitude, huh?

No!

Check the back, Guy.

Kyle, put your hand on there very tight. Hold it hard.

Talk to me.

Where was Brad going?

To the San Francisco bank on Pine for the stash.

San Francisco bank on Pine. Go, go. I'll be right behind you.

You okay?

and flip into these.

Why don't you come over here and put them on me?

Do it any way you want to do it.

What if I take you hostage, the big SIU honcho? Give me a limo and take me

anywhere I want to go, huh?

Yeah, you could.

Why don't you turn around?

Put your hands behind your back.

You done?

Someone tells me he's not here to lend you his yacht for the weekend.

Probably not.

Joe, you want to get that item out of the safe? Good morning. Good morning.

Inspector, these are private investigators from the McKinley

They have engaged us services to retrieve the necklace.

I expect that you'll want to fully cooperate since it'll ease your burden

help to recover my property.

Didn't give us much time, did you, Lewis?

Cases get cold rather quickly, don't they, Inspector?

I thought you could use the help.

Normally, I don't share information on my cases with freelancers.

But in this situation, I'll make an exception.

You know, Inspector, the first time this necklace was

stolen from our family, we had no recourse.

No one to turn to.

Well, I'm going to suggest, Lewis, for your own peace of mind, that you don't

confuse that time with this one.

Now I know where Cassidy gets it.

Good day, Inspector.

You're welcome.

You know, sometimes the rich are really hard to like.

But what are you going to do if one of those schemes of yours pays off? You get

rich. Oh, I'll be different.

Come on, let's go find Nick.

It looks worse than it looks.

Yeah.

I just wanted to thank you for the advice.

You've been there for me.

I care about you, Cassidy.

I know.

Boy, do I have bad taste in men.

Occasionally. Yeah.

I'm one to talk. I'm not exactly the right person to be passing judgment on

subject.

You'll find somebody someday.

Not just like my mother.

Anyway Listen

that I should get back to work

Thank you anytime

Thank you, girl. Hey, is Joe around?

He was here a minute ago.

I'll just leave him a note.

All right.

Let me explain this to you again.

Tell her the truth.

Stop beating that dead horse.

Do you want your sister to know the intimate details of what went on in

Because I sure as hell don't.

Personally? I go with the bereavement counselor idea.

Look, you help people get over the loss of their loved ones, okay? Simple, it's

easy to remember, and it's believable.

And that's why I had to sign the confidentiality agreements, because I

much about the intimate details of their lives.

Exactly. Plus, it takes it out of you emotionally. You know, that's why you've

been so exhausted.

Not bad.

It's from the people that brought you Watergate.

What's wrong with that?

Nick. She can handle the truth. She's a DA. She's been around the block a few

times. There's nothing here that's going to rattle her cage.

So you'll back me up if she launches?

Absolutely.

Okay, let's go face the executioner.

Done.

Baby, I saw the phone, Bill. Not all 900 numbers are pornographic, you know?

The tape, it's gone.

Hey, Harp, have you seen a big manila envelope on my desk?

Yeah, Stacy took it away.

Oh, my God!

I want to finish my... Yeah.

I'm going with her.

Hi. Hi, Daddy.

Wow, it's kind of cold in here. Want me to turn the heat up?

No, I'm fine.

What are you reading?

The World According to Garp. Mmm, good choice.

Oh, fried ice cream from the Yerba Buena Cafe. Even better.

Your favorite, as I seem to recall.

You okay?

Mm -hmm.

Where were you?

Right there.

It was a boy, their second son.

Duncan's brother was called Walt.

Never Walter, never the German Walt.

He was simply a T at the end of a wall.

Walt, like a beaver's tail smacking water, like a well -hit squash ball.

He dropped into their lives, and they had two boys.
