I'm going to be technical advisors on
Street Heat, that's a television show.

Hold it!

Cat, run it! This will be my first
Hollywood rap party.

He's running around this town just
figuring people with assets.

Secure all the gates.

I want you both to do something safe and
quiet.

Captain said you were interested in
reality.

I wouldn't lose my head over this.

It works for me.

What about my tooth, Hunter?

Hunter, it's killing me. This tooth is
driving me nuts. Yeah, we should have

thought about that, Jesse, before you
knocked out the dentist. Man, the dude

coming at me with a needle.

You know how I feel about needles.

I want you to know, normally I'm a very
meek individual.

Right. You collect china and you paint
little bunnies on eggshells. I have to

listen to this?

Book this guy an assault and battery
-resisting arrest, and as soon as the

victim is released from the hospital, he
will be down here to press charges.

Hey, what about my tooth, Hunter? I'm
gonna go berserk. You gotta do

Hold that.

I'm gonna tear this place apart.

Excuse me? Come here.

Now, your tooth really bothers you, huh?
Man, I'm dying.

My head's on fire.

Now, I can take care of this for you,
Jesse, free of charge, but it's going to

cause you some pain.

Man, you got to do something.

Are you sure about this? Because I
normally don't do this. Hunter, I'm

explode. You got to help me.

Well, is that better?

Yeah.

Attaboy. Book him.

Hope they cover that in his dental plan.

Yeah.

Did you or didn't you tell me when I
took over this job that you would shape

and start following regulations?

Well, if I recall correctly, it was you
that was telling me. And you agreed.

Right? Yes.

Now, we even shook hands on it.

So now, I get ten dozen hot calls from
the fire chief to the controller's

to our own chief himself about a high
-speed pursuit involving one Sergeant

Hunter that's going to cost this city a
fortune.

Now, you do know the rules on hot
pursuit, right?

Yes. You avoid them in downtown areas
where people can get hurt, right?

Yes. You call for assistance, you call
for air surveillance, and you don't try

to outrun someone on Wilshire Boulevard.

And he knew that, too. I almost had this
guy when he went south on Wilshire.

By that time, you should have called in
the choppers and dropped out, Hunter.

Hey, what rules are we talking about
here? Del Rio's wanted on a triple

homicide. I mean, if there's no rules
about letting a triple murderer get

it sure as hell ought to be.

What, homicide, triple murderer?

He's wanted for armed robbery.

Captain, the call came in on our radio.
Del Rio shot his girlfriend and two of

her brothers in Boyle Heights.

And we got him and nobody got hurt.

How about 70 feet of display window at
Bullock's?

How about four fire hydrants that turned
the ambassador hotel's front lawn into

a lake?

Now, we've already logged over 80
complaints.

We'll probably get hit with half a dozen
lawsuits by the time this is over, and

what? Personnel, what is your question,
sir? I think we'll find our man in here

for the chief's recruitment poster.

Bernie, I thought they transferred you
to internal affairs.

Yes, they did. I'm just helping out the
captain here on a special project.

Sorry to hear about your little joyride
today.

Pedal to the metal. All right.

I think you both got the message.

Oh, enough said.

Report to Mr. Dress.

Is that a coin in Vineland?

You're going to be technical advisors on
Street Heat.

That's a television show.

Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute. Isn't
there some sort of a rule in the book

against the misuse of police personnel?

Or are we just being punished for taking
a homicidal maniac off the streets?

Look, I want you both to do something
safe and quiet so a fallout from this

-speed chase is gone and forgotten.

Now, the producer of Street Heat is a
personal friend of mine, Bay Fetner, and

promised to send him two real -life
detectives.

Send him Bernie.

He's expecting the two of you.

He feels the show's gotten away from
reality.

I'd like you to point out to him where.

Captain, these are the three candidates
I picked out.

If you don't mind, Lieutenant Martell
suggested I submit this one as well.

Oh, Bernie, if I was you, I'd go for the
one with more authority in the jawline.

Don't ask me why, but this is your new
car.

Captain's orders.

You know something, McCall?

I think you're right. The captain is
trying to punish us.

You call this punishment?

I call this great.

Now, wait a minute.

If it wasn't for the fact that you and I
were going to go babysit on Bay

Fenton's television company, which car
in this compound do you think we'd be

issued, huh? Take a look around. Pick
one out.

Well, that one over there is a sure bet.

Like that one? Sold. We'll take it,
Fern. Are you nuts?

Come on, man. The captain says give
Hunter the best car on the lot. This is

Now take it, please.

Hunter, you're crazy. How can you pass
up this beautiful piece of machinery for

that piece of junk?

What did the captain say that Bay
Fentner wanted on this television show?

Reality, right?

That's reality.

So, do you watch it?

Watch what?

Street Heat.

Oh, yeah, well, I've seen bits and
pieces of it, turning the dial, you

Bits and pieces?

Well, I mean, I don't watch it every
week. I've probably seen it once or

or something like that. It's not exactly
the highlight of my Tuesday night, you

know. Come on, McCall, admit it.

This guy Hendricks of Clay Street sends
out vibes on your wavelength, doesn't

he?

From what I understand, women can't get
enough of this guy. Who knows? This

could be your big opportunity here
today.

If you're trying to say, could I sing a
duet with somebody like J .J. Hendricks?

In a minute.

That's the street.

Tell him to send a meat wagon to 5th and
Alvarado.

Tell Captain Grayson Frankie T got his
ticket punched.

Permanently.

And cut.

Print it.

There you go.

Good job.

You know, if this J .J. Hendricks keeps
flashing you those pearly whites, you're

going to need to buy an awful large pair
of sunglasses.

Hunter, can I help it if the guy likes
what he sees?

Oh, come on. Look at the way they dress
the guy.

Charlie, what's this old heap doing
here?

Or is this the one we're going to wreck
during the chase? No, no, this is my

car.

Your car?

You must be kidding.

Captain said you were interested in
reality.

Oh, come on. You're putting me on.

Speaking of reality, you know, as a
producer of this television show, I'd be

more concerned about how you dress your
star. I mean, a real cop.

A real police officer would never have
his cuffs hanging that close to his

weapon. You're right.

You're absolutely right.

I heard a lot about you, Hunter.

Captain Weiler tells me some interesting
stories about you. I'd like to hear

them.

Come with me. Come here.

Hey, I see you met a couple of Metro's
finest.

Stu, I'd like you to meet Sergeants
McCall and Hunter.

How do you do? Hi.

Stu's head of publicity.

He'll be nice to him.

Have you thought about it? Like, maybe
dinner tonight?

Well, I would love to, but I've already
made other plans for tonight.

How about the wrap party? I mean, you've
got to at least stop by the wrap party.

I'd love for you to be there.

J .J., the reporter from the Times is
still waiting.

He can't keep the press waiting, can he?

I'll catch you guys later.

Faye, get them anything they want.

Bye.

Bye. Ciao.

Terrific guy.

Prince, you folks need something?

Just holler.

I need some coffee.

Come on, it's showbiz.

Glamour, excitement.

J .J. Hendricks.

Why don't you just relax? Just lighten
up, will you?

A lot of interesting people here on this
set.

You never know who you might meet.

Hi. Hello.

Hey, are you the police officer they
sent down here?

Yeah, we certainly are.

Sergeant McCall, I'm Sergeant Hunter.

Oh, wow.

I bet it's exciting.

Being involved in police work.

Ah, yes, it is.

Although we don't get shot at as much as
you in the street do. In our case, the

bullets are real.

Well, that's what bothers me.

I wanted to talk to you about that.

How it feels when the bullets are real.

I feel the same way about you.

I want you to swing by.

You know I hate unwinding a woman.

Yeah, me too, baby.

I'll show you how much I love you.

Honey. Hey.

Hello?

Hello?

Couldn't help play the hero, could you?

Who found the body?

Girlfriend, Cindy Larwin.

She's pretty shaken up, but who wouldn't
be?

This one's allowed to give me
nightmares.

What did the coroner have to say about
the probable cause of death?

Fractured skull.

Looks like this was a murder weapon.

Give me a plastic sack, would you?

I want you to have the lab look at this
ring.

See if they can come up with any type of
skin fragments on it, would you?

What's your problem with this, Hunter?

Probably the same problem you got with
it.

Yeah, well, mine is. Why something like
acid?

Why would somebody come in here and burn
off Hendrick's face and then kill him?

That doesn't track.

Excuse me, where's the witness?

He was just lying there.

First I thought he was stretched out in
front of the fireplace.

Then I saw his face.

Try not to think about it. Just try to
put it out of your mind.

How am I going to be married?

Nobody knew that, but it's true.

Everybody thought J .J. was Mr.

Macho because of the show.

He wasn't. He was just this wonderful
guy who loved me.

I'm pregnant.

When I told J .J., he was so excited.

He said all he wanted to do was be with
me and have babies.

I know that sounds crazy.

But it's all I could talk about.

This was going to be his last season on
the show.

He was going to do movies.

He wouldn't have to work so hard.

We could be together more.

He loved me.

He really did.

Bay Fettner's been calling me.

I've been avoiding his calls. I don't
know what to say to him.

Do you have anything at all that I could
tell him?

Yeah, I have something.

Fettner called Hendricks a real prince.

Well, I checked him out. The guy wasn't
a prince. He was a creep. He hit on me.

He hit on every girl around.

He got some poor girl named Cindy Larwin
pregnant and into thinking that she was

the only woman in his life.

Who knows how many more there were. And
I think with a guy like that, you got a

lot of motive.

I want a list of all the women that
Hendricks was involved with.

You got it. I'm working on it. The
medical examiner's office reports that

Hendricks was sprayed with acid and then
killed. Now, my question to you is, why

would you kill somebody when he only
came there to disfigure him?

That's a good question. You got a good
answer?

Well, we found fragments of latex rubber
and red dye on Hendricks' ring. Now,

perhaps this fellow he was fighting with
was wearing some sort of a Halloween

mask. And in the struggle, he revealed
himself, and the guy had no other

alternative but to kill him.

Okay, we're moving.

But I got a question.

How do you do it?

Do what?

I send you away from here to get you out
of my hair for a while, and a homicide

case, a media event case, no less, falls
right into your laps.

How do you manage that?

Extremely lucky, I guess.

Remember that wrap party I was invited
to? Yes, I do.

But I don't believe they're going to
have too much to celebrate now, do you?

don't know Hollywood, Hunter.

Thank you. Thank you.

Well, so glad you could make it. Nice
turnout.

I know how this must look.

It's only been two days after it all
happened, right?

You didn't know J .J.? He wouldn't want
his friends being depressed.

He'd want them out, having fun.

Sharing. Joy of knowing.

A guy like J .J. must have had a lot of
good friends.

One of the best -liked guys in our
business.

He was a real sweetheart.

And the man was a caring individual. You
know what I mean?

People's feeling meant a lot to him.

Yeah, I guess he was a real thing.

Babe! Hey, babe! How are you? Alan.

Baby! So glad you could make it.

Enjoy yourself.

I just had to get out of there. I know
what you mean.

Now, Cindy, if I can help you with
anything, please.

You've already done enough already, Peg.

You were there when I needed a friend.

I just don't understand it.

Every time I get involved with someone,
something terrible happens.

What you need is some work, something to
keep you busy and help you through all

this. Now, it'll be a couple of months
before your show, so... I just don't

think I'm up to it.

Maybe after the baby's born.

They got an APB out on the car.

Probably wanted to be stolen from the
parking lot.

You two got here fast.

Well, we were already here.

We were invited. Guests of your friend,
Mr. Fentner?

You were here when the guy got away?
Yeah, we were here when he got away.

Couldn't hold on to him, huh? No.

Sergeant Hunter saved my life. If it
wasn't for his actions and...

Sergeant McCall's quick thinking. I'd
probably be on my way to a burn unit

now. This is Peggy Sullivan. She's the
casting director on the Street Heat

series.

Did you get any kind of a look at all
this stuff?

Yes, I did.

I've been afraid to say this because I
really didn't see him that well. But for

a split second, I thought of David
Tallon. Oh, with the key mask on?

I'm a casting director.

I study actors' physiques. You know, the
way they walk, talk.

There was something about his
silhouette.

Posture. I'm not saying it was David.

Couldn't be.

David Tallon, I've heard of him.

He was the original lead on Street Meet.
There was an accident and J .J.

replaced him on the show.

What happened?

Well, he was into drugs long before he
got the job.

With success, it got worse.

It got to the point where he was pre
-bracing one day in his dressing room

it blew up in his face.

And he decided to blame all of us for
what happened.

What do you mean, blame all of you for
what happened?

David Tallon was not one of your nicer
people in this world. He was neurotic.

was under analysis for years.

He was convinced that one of us or all
of us on the show tampered with his

equipment to get rid of him.

Well, I see you decided to live in that
shirt.

Don't worry about her. She loves a men's
room, don't you?

Called you last night. Nobody asked you.

Where were you?

I was out jogging.

Oh, is that what they call that now?

You're a lap riot, Alice.

Squirt gun killer.

I got it from Peg Sullivan last night.

I want to tell you something.

David Tallon was one of the few patients
I've treated who had absolutely no

redeeming qualities.

He had such an ego, medical terminology
didn't cover it. Until after his

accident. Then he developed some classic
paranoid characteristics.

Paranoid enough to kill people?

It's always a possibility.

Look, Doc, we're aware of the medical
ethics here, but maybe you can help us

out. You must have copies of your
discussions with him. Notes, tapes,

that we can get a look at.

You must be kidding.

David Tallon is my patient.

The tapes are confidential.

I won't let you see a thing.

Your patient's a murderer.

He's running around this town
disfiguring people with acid.

The answer, Sergeant, is no.

You can try for a search warrant if you
like, but you won't get one.

Not from any court I've ever heard of.

What a charmer.

He's right, you know.

There's no way we're going to get a
judge to give us a court order to get at

those records.

Well, that doesn't mean we can't get
them with a little bit of imagination

does it? Hunter, are you sure you want
to go around one more time with the

captain? What would you like to do, sit
around and wait for this Talon guy to

give Peggy Sullivan an acid bath?

Who are you?

Where's Laura?

Wait a minute. You can't go in there.

Where's Laura?

I'm sorry, doll. What did you say? I
can't hear nothing with these things.

Where's Laura?

Oh, Laura.

Laura had to go to the airport to pick
up her mother. I see your mother's

in from Fresno, and believe me, this is
a real drag, and you would know exactly

what I'm talking about if you ever met a
mother.

You can't do this now.

You can't do this now.

Huh?

You're not supposed to show up until 6 o
'clock. Dr.

Bresley has a 4 o 'clock appointment.

4 o 'clock?

Well, uh,

I watched as it's 3 o 'clock here. It's
3 o 'clock.

I can be in and out of here in a half an
hour, no problem. But, like, if I don't

get to clean this office today, then I
have to come back for next weekend. And

then the doctor's going to come in here.
He's going to start popping them bad

breath mints he's always taking. He'll
pop to me and get a little...

Pimp oil stuck back in his teeth. He
throws it all over the carpet, and I

personally happen to think this looks
very disgusting.

But if you don't want me to vacuum it,
no problem.

Okay, but you've got to be out of here
in 15 minutes.

15 minutes? Fine. Half an hour, 15.

Okay, I'll do this.

Okay.

15 minutes.

What

did

you say?

Wait, wait, hold on a second.

Hold on a second

How much longer are you going to be?

Huh? You said this would only take 15
minutes.

Seconds. I will be gone in mere seconds.

It was an accident.

Just an unfortunate accident.

Now, no one tampered with your
freebasing equipment.

Can't you get that straight?

This is L -56.

I got a possible 187 at Bay Fentner's
place.

1133 St. Waverly Road. We're on our way
there now. Request a backup.

And make sure you send a unit over to
Peg Sullivan's place. Out.

Sergeant, Bay Fedner was found ten
minutes ago. Someone attacked him with

Same M .O. as the Hendricks case.

Is he alive?

According to the paramedics, he'll live,
but he'll be badly scarred.

Well, you better tell Captain Weiler.
Fedner's a good friend of his. What

that number we got from Talon's
psychiatrist?

Did you get an address on that?

The Statman Hotel, over on 3rd and
Fountain.

L -O -56 out.

This guy really ought to have his locks
changed.

Hunter? Yeah.

Hey, check stud.

From the Sunset Wax Museum.

Nothing like a walk through murderer's
row, huh?

I don't know about you, but this place
gives me the creeps.

Hey, what are you doing in here?

I didn't hear anyone knock.

In case you didn't see it, there's a
sign out front that says, employees

We assume, Mr. Tallon, you've been
listening to the news.

We also assume you're aware that a lot
of people you knew or once worked with

are now dead or in the hospital with
their faces burned off. Yeah, I heard

that on the radio. That's too bad.

Yeah, it was.

I guess you also know then that J .J.
Hendricks was found mutilated and

at his home on Thursday night. I guess
you knew him pretty well, didn't you?

No, not very well.

He's just a guy you need to walk on from
the street, so... Don't expect me to

grieve for the guy.

I'm gonna ask you where you were
Thursday night.

That's the night J .J. Hendricks got his
face burned off and his brains bashed

in. But before I do, Sergeant McCall
wants to give you a message.

You have the right to remain silent. Oh,
hey, hey, hey, hey. I used to recite

that crap on my shelf, so forget about
it.

Thursday night, let's see.

Oh, yes, I was taking in a movie.

I like to sit in the dark.

Maybe you and I can have a cup of
coffee. I'll tell you all about it.

Pretty good likeness, huh?

Yeah. Ever since old JJ died, he's
hotter than ever.

We're making up a new bunch of figures
of him.

I just found this whole headline around.

Thought I'd get rid of it.

I bet a guy like you has access to a lot
of chemicals and acids, huh?

Hey. If you've got some kind of case
against me, arrest me, and I'll call my

lawyer, and we'll see what happens.

If not, why don't you leave?

Look, what happened to you was a
terrible, tragic accident, but what

doing now is not going to help things,
and it's not going to make anything

better for yourself.

You think I'm sick?

You think the explosion in the dressing
room was an accident?

Well, you weren't there, lady, and I
was, and it was no accident.

Now get out of here!

What do you think?

Why don't you get over to Peggy
Sullivan's house? This guy's going to

move. I want one of us to be there.

I'm going to check out his workshop.

Peg wasn't the one that Talon was
referring to on Bresley's tape. He

after her at all.

Looks that way, doesn't it?

Knowing his old girlfriend was involved
with Hendricks.

That would make Talon nuts, wouldn't it?

This is L -56.

Patch me through to a Lieutenant DeMarco
in missing persons, would you?

I do, Your Honor.

Lou, we've been trying to locate a woman
by the name of Cindy Larwin.

Now, we've tried her last known address
in her parents' house. We've come up

with nothing. Now, you're the expert. We
want you to find her for us. I've got a

name and a number for you.

Peggy Sullivan, 555 -3792.

Now, she'll be able to give you some
information to start off with.

Okay, got it. But I'm going to ask you
the same question I always ask. With a

missing person, do you really think
they're missing or do you think they're

dead?

Well, I don't know the answer to that,
but we're about to do something that

might just answer that question for all
of us.

L -56 out.

You're sure Talon's after it?

Who wouldn't bet against it? All you
gotta do is get the studio to take out

ad in tomorrow morning's trades. Cindy
Larwin is gonna be a guest actress on

of your television shows.

No problem.

There's no way anyone can get on this
lot who isn't authorized to. We have

guards at all three gates, and David
Talon knows that.

He won't show.

Sam, this is Ariel from maintenance.
We've got a... Blooming leak over on

four. Bloody pipes busted. I called
Wilcox Plumbing.

Shoot them through when they get there,
will you, guy?

Got a call about a broken pipe?

Right. Hold on a second.

Soundstage 4.

Go with the other side of the lot.

We're down the road to get the wardrobe.

Can't miss it.

Got it. Thanks. All right.

Drop the gun right now.

Drop it!

Drop it!

Turn around, put your hands behind your
head.

Don't move a muscle.

Hunter, I got him. Move in.

I'm on my way.

McCall.

Security, this is Sergeant McCall. We
have a wounded suspect trying to leave

lot. Secure all the gates.

You're patched through to that number,
Sergeant.

Dr. Brathwaite.

You don't give up, do you, Hunter?

Your patient just caught a bullet trying
to off another victim.

Now, he's not in this hotel room, and
he's certainly not going to check into a

hospital with that kind of a bullet
wound. Now, we're on our way to the wax

museum. If this guy shows up at your
place, hold on to him.

He won't show up here, Hunter. He
doesn't like me.

I wonder why.

And if he did, I wouldn't violate
medical ethics and call you. But I think

you're headed for the right place. That
wax museum is probably the only place he

feels safe in.

It's not reality.

Henderson, you want it?

Oh, yeah. Put it over there with the
others.

Who, uh... Who submitted this one, sir?

Fowler. I didn't know you were
considering Hunter, sir.

Come in, Hunter. McCall.

Want to see us?

I just got word on the car you're using.

You didn't take the one I ordered for
you.

Why? Well, I figured it was a memo mix
-up.

You know, with the high -speed chase and
all, I thought you might be saving that

car for somebody like Bernie.

Hunter, next time somebody tells you I
gave an order, take their word for it.

I gave it and I meant it.

Right? Right.

Let me ask you a question. Why is my
picture in here?

It was sent in as a possibility for the
recruitment poster.

Don't do that. Don't consider me for
that, okay? I don't like publicity.

Well, I'm glad to hear that, Hunter.

But don't worry about it. You're not
under consideration.

Neither are you, Terwilliger.

Neither of those guys.

As a matter of fact, if you want to see
who I'm going to use in the poster, take

a look.
