Tonight, I'm dissenting.

Oh, man!

What is that?

Tuskegee Police!

Seems elegant and good. I wonder where it's in harassment.

You want to go in undercover?

It's the best chance we have, Captain.

Here's the hotel. It's a beautiful room.

There's nothing I'd like more.

My living room is not a public street!

Take your hands off me.

You must have a pretty good reason for calling a police vehicle.

Yeah, it was reported stolen.

I don't want to die.

In the jungles of Peru, the fight for survival heightened its senses.

Now, Detective James Ellison is a sentinel in the fight for justice.

Seeing before others see.

Sensing what others can.

An ever -vigilant watchman in the war against crime.

What can I do for you?

I'm here to see my aunt. You're staying with some friends? I wrote the number

down somewhere.

I'll get those.

Cigarette dead.

Haven't you heard?

Clear.

Yes, who is it?

Hello?

Where's the safe?

Where's the safe? I don't know. Lady, you tell me where the safe is or I'm

to blow you away right now. You tell me where the safe is.

It's over there.

Shut up.

Hey, Jim, come on. Chief, I'm just not in the mood for one of your touchy

lectures. I'm not going to give you a lecture. Look, just because the DA's not

going to press charge, do not take it out on me. Look, I saw the purse. He

snatched the purse, he knocked the old lady down, breaks her hip. What do you

want from me?

I said I saw the whole incident from three blocks away. They're going to toss

the whole thing out of court.

Oh, man.

He ought to tell that clown to slow down.

He's going to kill somebody around here.

Hey!

Did you see me?

Idiot.

Why didn't I hear you?

Maybe it's because you're so angry at a minor temporary zone out. It's like an

opposite effect of what you're used to. That's not very cheap.

You know, actually, that is something we might want to take a look at.

I'll find a way for future reference, okay? Hey! Whoa, Jim, Jim, Jim. Hey,

To be honest with you, I'm a total man in my car. Hey!

Hey,

buddy, back off!

Oh, test case police.

Keep your hands on the floor.

I can take you in right now for assaulting a cop, buddy.

You all right, Tim?

Yeah, it's a tough guy's cologne, man. You know, you get more than one

application for a bottle sport.

It's important!

Let me see your badge again.

Stay where you are.

Take a good look.

James Ellison. Good. I want to know where to send the harassment charges.

What? Would you want to be hippie for it? Hey, man.

All right, look, I can handle it. You're lucky you're not packing.

Get all your ass in.

I was defending myself!

Welcome to start a fight and creating a public nuisance. Now, stay where you

are.

Ellis, there's been another high -rise apartment invasion, John. It went down

about a half hour ago.

But the apartment's at the end of Belcher.

Get here as soon as you can.

All right, I'm on my way.

I'm going to let this one go. In the future, you just try practicing a little

self -restraint.

Wait a minute.

You almost ran me off the road.

Almost doesn't count, Ace. Now, get out of here.

Smells like he bathed in insecticide.

Get in gear! Go around!

What do you got, son?

Looks just like the other one. A woman comes in looking for a relative.

Next thing this guy knows, he's got a taser and he's making a kick to the face

for his trouble.

Anything you can tell us about her?

Yeah, a lot.

Blonde? Uh -uh.

Brunette? You guys think it's the same one?

Who knows?

Next time it could be a redhead.

Cameras are disconnected, phone lines cut. It had to be the same people.

Real pros.

This is Bob, the building manager.

I have had it with you, okay?

Give me a check for the rent, or you are locked out.

Rob!

I know my right.

Dan, this is Dr. Black.

You haven't shown up for your last three sessions, and, well, frankly, I'm

concerned. Please call me as soon as you can. I'd really like to hear from you.

Don't even pretend it appears.

Assalamualaikum.

Almost doesn't count, huh?

Password. Come on, give me the password.

The coins they took are worth over a quarter of a million dollars.

It's okay.

It's not your fault.

My father started the collection when he was a boy.

It's a big lot.

Is there anything else missing? My late wife's jewelry.

And how much was that worth?

I'm sorry I have to ask these questions, sir.

A couple hundred thousand dollars.

But it's not the money, detective.

Are you sure you're going to be okay?

Poor guy.

How do these thieves, how do they live with themselves?

Sandberg, for someone with as much education as you have, you have a lot to

learn. Well, as an anthropologist, I have to wonder what it is about our

that breeds these type of criminals.

I think it's money.

You got something, Jim?

Well, the safe has been wiped clean, just like the others, but they missed

I think we got a partial right here, Captain.

I'll have Forensics check it out again.

All I'm saying is that these kind of crimes, they factor into a bigger

They've always been criminals. No kidding, Jim, but today more and more

are getting pissed off at their lack of control and the fact that they don't

have a healthy place to vent their frustration.

I mean, like, take this freak show on the road today. Let me see the bottom of

your shoes.

Do you know how many people have been hurt or killed because of road rage?

All right, I'll drive safer in the future. What do you want? Come on, don't

wiseass. I'm just making an observation about where today's society is going.

What's the matter? You don't smell that?

Yeah, I do.

I mean, the sewers must be ours. Oh, no.

The guy who keeps pigeons on the roof next door. It's got to be that.

Oh, where is it?

Where's what?

I hide a key on the door so I don't get locked out.

Like now, huh? Yeah. You got yours?

Yeah. Oh,

it's open.

Oh, man.

What is that?

That's horse manure, chief.

Do you have any idea who did it, Jim? Not so far.

Bamberg, you put up any sorority girls lately? Pretty malicious, even for the

ones he goes out with.

Hey, uh, I gotta talk to you later.

Look, did he really have a key over the door?

Yeah. It just came in from research.

Evidently, a number of the robbery victims had work done at the same

Over on Fifth, Crown Jeweler, guy's name is Robert Crown.

All right, I'll check it out.

Horse manure.

Detective Ellison, Blair Sandberg.

Robert Crown, what can I do for you? We're investigating a string of

Several of the victims are customers of yours.

Hmm.

What a shame.

So, this is all news to you?

Are you suggesting it should be otherwise?

I'm not suggesting anything. I'm just here to gather information.

This is really beautiful stuff, man. Oh, yes, thank you. I'll do a small

business in aboriginal jewelry.

Well, you know, it's more like a hobby, really.

That's great.

Do you mind if I take a closer look? Oh, sure.

We're not here on a shopping spree.

Right. I'll come back later.

Very good idea.

Any other employees besides yourself?

Oh, no. It's a one -man operation.

I like it that way. You know, it keeps things simple.

I'll let you take my number if anything occurs to you. If you'd like me to find

any help, please don't hesitate to call.

Of course.

Thanks.

Very nice.

Thank you.

Must have a pretty good reason for calling a police vehicle.

That was reported stolen, Detective.

Reported stolen?

I'll be damned.

What is it, Jim?

It's that jerk with the bad cologne.

0 -8 -2 -F -R -R.

What, do I gotta call Mounting Hall for this? Come on.

Guy's name is Dan Freeman.

I accidentally cut him off in traffic the other day, and he went postal on me.

Well, Jim, you did get a little crazy with him, too. The guy had it coming.

know that.

All right.

As soon as you get anything on Prince, let me know.

Great.

Sorry, guys.

Look, just because this Dan Freeman cut you off in traffic doesn't mean it's the

same guy who phoned in the phony stolen vehicle report.

No, I saw him in his car taking off, sir. I called in the registration on the

vehicle. Yeah, the fertilizer fits too, Simon. I mean, Jim was making cracks

about the guy's cologne, how it smelled and stuff like that.

Did you provoke this guy?

I got a little ticked off.

Yeah, well, you've been getting a little ticked off a little too easily lately.

Was I talking to you?

That's it right there.

All right, all right. Look, guys, anybody can have a bad day, all right?

Frankly, Jim, you know, your driving skills could use a little improvement.

many vehicles have you cracked up in the past year? Is that three, four?

No, no, it's the past two years, Simon. And how did this get turned around on

me? Because I expect my guys to set an example.

There's a lot of nuts out there.

Somebody cuts somebody off in traffic, next thing you know, one of them is

They even have a name for it. It's called, uh, Road Ridge.

What am I talking to you?

Now, as far as this day of freedom is concerned, until you can prove that he

pulled those pranks. They were more than just pranks. This guy's screwing with

me, and I don't intend to let him get away with it. Neither do I, but I want

to back off. Now, are you listening to me?

Let's let the guys down at patrol handle this, all right?

Yeah, Jim, let's let it go, you know? I mean, this isn't exactly major crimes.

Well, it is to me.

The guy takes a swipe at me. He dumps this manure in my apartment.

He gets my car towed. I can get this guy, Simon. I saw the plates on his car,

for God's sake.

All right, no, no, no. Great, great.

Can you fax me a hard copy of that right away?

One for the DA as well. Save time on the warrant.

Great, thanks. I owe you one, buddy.

That was Interpol.

You know that partial print you found?

Belongs to Bobby King.

Safecracker. Outstanding warrants in Brisbane and Sydney.

Australia. Had an alias.

Robert Crown.

He refused to make a statement about the robberies. I said he wants us to ship

him back to Australia to face charges there.

Back up and leave without a fight, just like that, huh?

Well, the D .A. is willing to deal on this one. Said he'd waive extradition

reduce the charges in return for information on the gang.

Crown won't admit he had anything to do with them?

Keep pushing his buttons.

Not gonna let him leave without drawing a little bit of blood.

Crowd's apartment upstairs is clean.

Thanks. What do you got, H?

Looks like an address book.

Business or personal?

He got it all mixed up.

You talked to the landlord, Chief?

Yeah, yeah.

He said that he's been here about a year and all his places run on time. There

are a couple messages on the regime.

It's Leeds. I got your message.

Call me.

Crowd, Leeds.

You got ten minutes, babe.

Everyone Leeds.

Okay, I've got something to do now. Call me at 11 -shot, not before.

Another satisfied customer.

Anything on it?

Lane, leave it. Here it is. Leeds. Trent Leeds.

This guy must move around a lot.

He's got three telephone numbers, seven addresses.

Run them all.

Done.

Trent Leeds was arrested in San Francisco in 1991 for... high -rise home

invasion robbery.

He's been picked up in several other states, but he's never been convicted.

I told you he's just a customer. I don't know anything about him.

Another member of Lee's team was also a safe man. I was set to testify against

him a couple of years back.

Guy wound up short of right hand.

Okay.

So now you know why I'm not talking.

It's too bad the minute you hit the street, I'm gonna have to put out the

that you sang like an opera star.

You get me killed to solve your case.

Turnabout is fair play.

Well, it took my bluff.

He admitted he was working with Leeds on these apartment invasion jobs, but

we'll never get him to testify.

Too scared?

Well, we could probably book Crown for the Thomas Burglary and maybe even get a

conviction, but Leeds and the other guys are gonna walk.

I got it right here, sir.

Hey, guys.

So, uh, you gonna let him do it or what?

I'm just getting there, Chief.

Do what?

I don't like the sound of this. What's going on?

Crown's willing to hook me up with Leeds. The VA allows me to go back to

Australia to face charges there.

You want to go in undercover?

If we want to take down this gang, it's the best chance we have, Captain. How

the hell do you expect to pull this off?

Uh, Simon, actually, with Jim's abilities, he should be able to hear and

the safe's tumbler falling into place. I mean, he's done it before and with a

lot of practice. We don't have time for practice. I can do this, Simon.

I mean, I've beaten other locks. How much different can this be?

I'll think about it.

You sure you want to go through with this undercover thing?

I thought you were on board.

Particularly after that little thing with Simon.

Well, I am, I guess.

What do you mean, you guess?

It's just that everything I'm reading here about Trent Leeds and his crew says

that even if they suspect you're a plant, you're dead.

If they check me out, they're going to find a record a mile long on Bill

Murdoch. Yeah, but the real Bill Murdoch is some howdy -bob cowboy from Texas. I

mean, how are you going to pull that off?

I got a plant, Chief.

I got it all worked out.

Beautiful.

Get out of the car.

Get out of the car!

What is your problem, Freeman?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Why are you following me?

I think you're a little paranoid. This is a public street. My living room is

a public street!

Unless you want to get hit with a major, major harassment suit, you'll take your

hands off me.

Hey, buddy, don't let him beat you. Come on, man, come on.

I'm not going to take the high road, Chief. Don't worry.

I'm concerned with some warning, punk.

Any more practical jokes and I'll be on you worse than that cheap bug spray

you're wearing. You got me? By the time I'm done with you, it'll be you who

can't prove a thing.

Is that what you call taking a high road?

Come

on,

Jim. How many episodes is this?

Five. Did you know that each of the sons had a different mother?

Oh, man.

This is when Rahab Singh gets pinned with the murder rap.

You can't learn an accent by watching episodes of Bonanza, okay? I mean, the

Ponderosa is not even in Texas, Jim. And Lorne Green is about as old west as

William Shatner.

Actually, that's pretty fitting, considering that they're both Canadian,

Will you get a better fix than that there, little Joe?

Yeah, I do.

I got some cousins that live in Fort Worth, and they don't really talk like

down in Texas. You either got yourself a little lilt, or you got yourself a

twang, right?

I don't really see myself as a lilt kind of guy.

Well, then I guess that makes you a twanger kind of guy, huh, Hollis?

Bill Murdock?

That's right.

He's waiting for us in his suite.

I'm Melanie.

Hi, Melanie.

After you.

Thank you.

Good you could come on such short notice, Murdock.

Glad to do Bobby Crown a favor.

See, Bobby and I did a little time together down in Australia before they

escorted me out of the country.

It's too bad he had to leave.

He's a practical guy.

Cops were asking him questions I didn't want answered.

He did what I told him to.

Well, I can be on a plane as soon as we're done with the job back to Dallas.

mean, if that's what you want.

Well, let's see if you're as good as Bobby says.

You've got one minute.

And if it takes me longer?

Then we've got a problem.

Oh, easy there.

Seems a little extreme, wouldn't you, Haley?

Nope. You see, I like people that work well under pressure.

42 seconds.

Uh, part two.

The timer inside is rigged to 10 grams of C4.

You've got 25 seconds to disconnect it or, uh, your hands are going to be

hamburger.

Stop it and, uh, you're dead.

Clock ticking, Murdoch.

You know, you really are a great person. Beautiful guy. What do you got, Jim?

Show him the watch, man. Show him the watch.

It's a nice watch. You want a lottery?

Don't be so humble.

Hey, watch.

Hey, watch. Please, please. Quiet down. Quiet down. It's been a terrible

mistake. These aren't gifts.

I mean, that's it.

Isn't that right, Jim?

$23 ,000.

The number of your credit cards were used to make the purchase.

I mean, my God, that's got to be all the credit I have in the world. How long is

it going to take to clear this whole thing up? At least 48 hours.

Mr. Elephant, I'd cancel all my cards immediately if I were you.

I plan to.

What's he getting off about? It was my money.

Can you believe this? This bastard maxes out my cards.

You think it's a free bit of character?

No, sir, I don't think. I know.

We did a little background check on him, and it turns out that this guy's some

sort of computer genius. He used to design operating systems, and before

worked for a bank card company, so he does have the expertise.

What else did you two find out? Well, he was fired from his last job when they

discovered he'd hacked into the company's accounting database system and

himself a big check.

He claimed it was for royalties he was owed on a program he designed.

Company didn't prosecute?

Well, technically, he was owed the money. They let him go, he turns around,

sues them for wrongful termination.

Word gets around the industry that he's bad news, and now, now he can't get

arrested.

No pun intended.

Come on.

Jim? Yeah.

Marshall's office just delivered this. Have I heard okay? Thanks for a minute.

Against me.

I wouldn't go any closer than that, because if you do, I'm going to have to

the cops.

And also, I'd be real careful of anything you say, because any more

jokes, that would be you who can't prove a thing.

What the hell are you doing here, Freeman?

This is America.

I can hang out pretty much anywhere I want to.

Hey, Allison?

Can I ask you a question?

Do you always park three blocks away to avoid valet parking?

You know, stalkers are crime in this state.

Okay, now wait a minute. You're getting a little too close.

I'm going to count to 10.

And by the time I get to 10, you have to be 100 feet away from me because

otherwise I have to call 911.

I just remember 100 feet cuts both ways.

Thanks for meeting me.

You better with a point.

Yeah, well, uh, I lied.

A little.

Okay, shoot.

Why are men so dumb?

I mean, here I am practically throwing myself at you.

And you don't even know it.

I'm sorry.

I, uh... I hear this hotel has beautiful rooms.

Now, Melanie, there's nothing I'd like more.

What?

My wife wouldn't understand, you see.

If it's her, I'll shoot myself.

Hello. Yeah, Jim, it's me.

Hi, honey.

Huh?

Jim. Joe, Jim. Yeah, sure.

Honey. I was with Melanie. I'm sorry.

You told me to call. I hope I'm not interrupting anything.

No, no, no. I was on my way home. I got a phone call from her to meet me at

Lee's Hotel, but I got a big problem.

Freeman's here.

Freeman?

What, is that guy following you?

Yeah, Sam, if I wasn't a cop, man, I would pull that putt into a coma.

No, no, look, just calm down, man. Just calm down, all right? I've never seen

anybody get to you like this. Don't let your anger take you out of the game, all

right?

I want you to call Simon. I want you to have him pick up Freeman on a stalking

charge. This way we can keep him off the streets until we take down Leeds. You

got me?

And tell him we're good for tomorrow morning as well.

All right. All right, I will. Now, you be careful.

Thanks for calling. I love you, too.

Right on. Bye -bye.

Well, I've decided not to shoot myself.

Well, good news.

Give me your address in Dallas, and I'll have somebody shoot her.

Well, that was fun.

I'll have one of the folks out front call you a cab.

Sweet. But I think I'll walk.

Gotta get rid of all my nervous tension.

Suit yourself.

See you tomorrow?

Thanks for the company.

I'm so sorry. I wasn't even looking where I was going.

You okay?

Yeah. I'll live.

Wow.

Did anybody ever tell you how beautiful you are?

I'm sorry.

Can I give you a lift?

It's all good.

You are just what the doctor ordered.

Back to your place?

Maybe tomorrow.

I have to get an early start in the morning.

Oh, wow.

What do you do?

I'm a thief.

I'm kidding.

Actually, I'm in the insurance business.

I have an early meeting.

Maybe you should take me home.

But you can't stay.

We're more than an hour.

Thanks.

Jake, where are you?

I just got to the hotel, Captain.

What's the word on Schema?

There's still no sign of him. Look, I hate to say this, but I think we should

call off this whole operation.

Not a bad move. I'm inside, sir. It's almost over.

Anyway, it's too late. They're here. Blow them off now and we'll lose them

forever.

All right, darling. I love you. Bye -bye.

Sorry.

I was up all night.

Met somebody nice.

Are you so?

Well, maybe.

Mm -hmm.

All right, listen up.

Everybody knows the drill.

You packing, Murdoch?

Six, sir. Nine mil.

Hand it over.

Hey, I got no problem blowing you away right now, Murdoch. You're still on

probation. Well, then you won't get the job done.

Well, at my loss.

Go do your stuff.

It's going down.

Everybody in position?

We're set on the ground.

The rooftop cyber is in place, Captain.

They're in.

Stay alert, ladies and gentlemen.

Hello. Hi.

Do you miss me yet?

Hi.

Did I call you at a bad time?

Yeah, I'm at work.

Can I call you later?

Actually, no. I have to tell you something about your friend.

Good, right on schedule.

Yeah.

Okay, relax.

We'll be down in a couple of minutes.

Think that, detective?

Detective? Were you not?

I hope so, pal, because if I'm not, you're dead.

Come on, Melanie, do I seem like a cop to you?

Yeah, well, you didn't seem married either.

Your friend from last night's name is Dan Frank, right?

Yeah. He said to give you his regard.

Man's a practical joker. I mean, he's dogging me for days.

I thought you just came in from Dallas.

Let's go. I mean, come on, man.

You're coming out.

Looks like they got a good on it.

Damn it.

They know he's a cop.

All right, this is Captain Bass.

Sharpshooters, find your targets.

Nobody else move until my face. Now, repeat, do not move in.

What are you talking about? You're not just going to let these guys start

shooting, are you?

Sandberg, if we don't take them out, Jim is dead for sure. Now, trust me, he

knows the drill.

Get out of here.

Freeman got the girl.

Hey, I almost got you killed.

Come on, drive away.

Jim, here's your census, man. Concentrate on his cologne.

Work down the sewer.

All right, I'm going to call for backup.

My cell won't work down in the sewer.

Slipper, where are you going?

Simon, come on. He needs one of us with him. I mean, in the state he's in, who

knows what he's going to do to Freeman if he gets a hold of him.

You can go. I'm calling from the back room.

Yeah. It's Captain Banks.

Um, you gotta separate out all the smells on here, all right? And try to

his trail.

That's for you to take out and breathe.

I know, I know, I know. But you can do this, man.

It's done.

Don't worry about that.

You're done.

Smell that, though. It's methane.

One spark for one gunshot, the whole place is going to explode.

Oh, really?

Then it's probably a good idea for you to get the hell out of here.

I don't think so.

Give me the gun.

I know.

There's one good one in here.

Have a little fun.

Oh, God, come on. We don't need this. Let's get out of here.

the blade of glory.

Oh, come on, man. Let Jimmy go!

Third time's the charm.

Guess not.

You gotta do something. You can't let him go.

I don't want to die.

I don't want to die.

You can't let him die.

Please.

Isn't it just amazing how someone can snap over a little traffic incident like

that?

Are you talking about me or him?

I'm talking about Freeman.

The guy had lost everything, and he wanted to die.

That is, of course, until he was actually faced with that. For a moment

was willing to let him.

Yeah, I know.

There's no excuse for me losing control the way I did.

That's my point exactly here.

In today's society, everybody is just stressed out, man. I mean, even the good

guys.

Until we start paying attention to that, more people are gonna wind up hurt or

dead. They won't believe me, Chief.

From now on, I'll be paying attention.
