This is Paula Collins reporting from the Westpac Mini Mart located at 53rd and

Broadway, where less than an hour ago an armed robbery occurred.

The store owner and female suspect were both shot and killed, and off -duty LAPD

officer Nick Carter was wounded.

A male assailant who is yet to be identified jumped Officer Carter as he

the store.

A scuffle ensued, and during the confusion, the store owner, who is

as Emilio Sanchez, was shot and killed.

Officer Carter alleges that the fatal shot came from a female accomplice who

then shot and killed.

Carter was shot by the male robber who fled the scene and is still at large.

Officer Carter has more citations for bravery than any other officer in his

and was given accommodation by the Mexican -American Coalition Against Gang

Violence. The district attorney's office has promised a full investigation into

this shooting and we will continue to update this story as it unfolds. This is

Paula Collins reporting from Channel 19 News.

What a pleasant surprise.

I was afraid you weren't going to make it.

I wanted to get away from the city.

All that crap that's happening.

Thought I'd help you finish your book.

Right.

Can you stick around for a while?

Maybe. You twist my arm.

The RV's a little full, but I thought maybe you might have your sleeping bag

with you.

Yeah, but it's only built for one I hear the desert gets a little cold at night

It's the shooting.

It's okay.

Is it?

I mean, do you know what it is like to kill somebody who is young enough

to be your daughter?

Huh? Do you know what that's like?

No, I don't.

I'm not a cop.

Or a killer.

You are not a killer.

Oh, yeah.

Well, the DA thinks so.

Internal fucking affairs think so.

The papers, they all think that Mary Dalton was some kind of innocent

So who do you really mean when you're saying everyone exactly?

I believe you.

Oh, just forget it. Fuck.

I don't want to talk about it, okay? Just drop it.

I thought getting away for a day or two would do you good, Nick.

But I was wrong.

Wherever you go, you insist on carrying that poor dead girl around like some

bloody cross.

Oh, ladies and gentlemen, please, welcome Miranda Cross, ex -supermodel

-top fashion photographer.

Miranda also deals in psychiatry in her spare time.

Go back to the city, Nick.

Wallow in your misery.

Relive shooting that girl over and over again until you're useless to everyone,

including yourself.

Personally, I love you too much to see that happen.

Good night.

What do you mean, good night?

The fuck? What? Good night? Where are you going?

The Yeager! What?

We're getting out this morning!

So what?

You can stay the rest of your life, huh?

Yeah!

First day of the end of yours.

Hey, Pink.

Look who showed up after all.

Hey, Slick.

Aren't you supposed to be camping this weekend?

Actually, never mind.

Yeah, right.

They put men on the move.

You think they can write instructions simple enough to put a swing together?

Yeah, well, first off, you've got to be smarter than the swing, Mac.

Oh. Oh.

Fuck you.

Hand me that wrench.

Where's the kids, huh?

I locked them in the cellar so I can get some quality time with the old lady.

Don't believe him, Nick.

I locked them in the attic so I could have some time with Matique to myself

a change.

Charcoal's almost ready.

Snakes will be out in five.

All right. Actually, they're across the street.

Turns out I'm a terrible father because I won't buy him that latest video game.

Poor underprivileged... Oh! Ah!

Ah!

Here, here, look.

I'll do it before you kill yourself. What? And deprive my family years of

aggravation.

This is great.

Yeah. Hey, thanks a lot. Good. Enjoy.

Yeah.

Not bad for an old... Hey, what? Otherwise, you're going to be sleeping

doghouse tonight.

Both of you.

Who says I'm in the doghouse?

You're here, aren't you?

Yeah, I guess I am.

Oh, man.

How do women get to know so much better?

I don't know.

I think it's something in the genes.

How do you spell that?

Do you want to talk or what?

Huh? Yeah.

Old thing, man.

Eating me up. Getting me crazy.

I'm doing my best, old buddy.

You gotta be patient.

I'm so fucking tired of writing that goddamn desk.

The captain had to let me out of the field.

Nothing's gonna happen until we solve this and you know it.

I'd be glad I .A. just put you on temporary suspension.

Those schmucks could have kicked you off the force for good.

Yeah. Gee, let me guess what you guys are talking about.

You know the rules.

No shop talk on the weekends.

Okay, okay.

I know what you're going through, Roughnick.

But you're not going to solve anything this evening.

So let's change the subject, okay?

All right.

God, it's good to see you, baby.

Yeah.

Please, just wait.

I got a saloon.

Where are your smokes?

They're in the club box with the other stuff you asked for.

Yeah.

Jesus, Tina!

You could have taken your head off.

Sorry. I must have dozed off.

I thought someone was trying to break in.

Oh, you mean beside yourself?

Yeah, what are you doing sneaking around like that for, anyway?

I live here, you remember? I'll sneak around if I damn well please.

How'd you get in?

Kept the key.

I was at a fundraiser. I left early.

You know, I've been thinking a lot about us lately, Nick.

What's the matter?

Tired of all that social climbing?

Did Tyler dump you for someone higher up in the food chain?

No.

I'm right where I want to be.

I'm dating the deputy DA, going to the best parties, meeting all the right

people.

Fortunately, Ty's just a little too preoccupied with his career.

Not that he was ever that great in bed to begin with.

Hmm.

So this isn't about us at all, is it?

Sure it is, baby.

It's about what we can still do for each other.

I'm all out of mercy fucks this evening, Tina.

You know where the door is.

Keep the key on the table, will you?

I'm so good together, Nick.

Come on, we're old times, then.

It's too late, Tina.

You're the one who dumped me, you remember?

She's so great, Nick.

Is she better in bed than me?

Let's say it's a close call in the gymnastics.

But she's got your hands down in the caring department.

Okay.

As long as it's not because I'm fat or something.

Hmm.

Staying faithful should not have to be this tough, Tina.

I thought that you left.

I forgot to tell you something.

Tina.

I see you still remember where everything is.

Yep.

Everything.

Watch it, will you?

I stopped by the office this afternoon to clean up some paperwork when this

in. Someone's going to show you a fatigue tomorrow.

But I got to thinking how fun a little hand delivery would be.

You like this photo?

Like this one of the victim's throats after he raped them?

Yeah, why don't you tell me some good news? Someone killed a bastard in

right? Wrong. He's on the street.

How can that be? We put the scumbag away for life.

I don't know how, but his lawyer got him a retrial.

He's been paroled till the hearing.

Watch your ass, Nick.

Nice seeing you again.

What are you doing in there?

Trying to make myself look nice for your homecoming.

I've been gone almost five years, Carl.

Yeah, and they ain't been good to you either.

Now, why'd you have to go ahead and say that?

You're just plain mean.

Geez, Carl, what's your hurry?

I got places to see, baby.

People that do.

You're home early.

You're late.

What happened?

I turn around and you're gone.

Made me look really foolish tonight, Tina, sneaking out like that.

I didn't sneak out, Tyler.

I ran.

And if you hadn't been so busy sticking your nose up the mayor's butt, you'd

have seen me.

You're still fucking Carter, aren't you? No.

Bullshit.

You know, I only left the party a couple of hours ago, Ty.

If I was screwing Nick, I'd still be there.

Some guys know the difference between four playing four minutes.

You were at Carter's, weren't you?

Yeah.

But nothing happened.

I made the offer. He turned me down.

Expect me to believe... You know what? I don't care what you believe, Tyler.

The problem isn't between you and Nick. It's between you and me.

And I'm sorry to hurt your little feelings, but something's got to get

Look, I guess I deserve that.

I'm sorry about tonight, really.

And I'm sorry I bore you.

Don't... Bore me, Ty.

It's being left alone while you work the room.

Parties, restaurant, and even city hall.

You know, our whole life is turning into one big political climb at the ladder.

You know, whatever happened to just being together because we enjoy each

company?

This better be good.

Yeah?

Oh, hello, sir.

Oh, yes, I was just crunching some numbers on that right now.

Yeah, well, let me grab my file.

It's Horowitz, the Kleindienst case.

I'll make this up to you tomorrow, I promise.

I'll see you in the morning.

Yeah, right.

What are you doing here?

Don't scare me like that.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I just, you know... What, you just enjoy spying on

women?

You mentioned it. Yeah.

So what are you doing here anyway?

I just listened to you on my machine.

Well, I, uh...

I just wanted to, you know, apologize.

I didn't mean to take it out on you, okay?

Look, I said that I am sorry.

What do you want?

I have to review some slides.

You can rub my back, for starters.

oh

It's okay.

Oh, I didn't know you'd be in this early.

Otherwise, I'd have warned you.

Nick, this is my new assistant, Kit Anderson.

Kit, my boyfriend, Detective Nick Carter.

LAPD's finest.

How you doing? Hi. But I guess you've already seen that for yourself.

What happened to Cindy?

She went back to New York.

I was her roommate for about a week.

Yeah, Kit was nice enough to stop by and tell me Cindy had left.

We got to talking, and she told me she needed some work, so I kidnapped her to

the desert.

Ain't nothing like being at the right place at the right time.

And I say, auntie, you've got to be handsome.

Nicky, my man.

I'm just a man to sell an argument.

Who's toughest?

Personally, I think Clint Eastwood would kick both her asses.

Nick here, when are you going to make this lady an honest woman?

Give the guy a break, Lana. He hasn't even had breakfast yet. Now get.

Kit will bring your outfits in and I'll call you when coffee's ready.

What?

Morning, sunshine.

Oh, why don't we set up for the silks already?

Okay.

Go on.

Lana's bark is worse than her bite. She doesn't scare me

God it's like having kids

You know I have to go to work chicken

Look, I said I was sorry.

And I said forget it.

I don't know if you ever saw that cowboy.

Nick?

Well, for one thing, he's a great cop.

Yeah, right.

Try telling that to Mary Dalton's family.

If we ever find him.

Still no luck on your end either, huh?

You know how it is.

Every year, 100 ,000 kids end up on the streets of Los Angeles.

She hadn't been wearing that ID bracelet that cops wouldn't even have a name.

Yeah, well, did the DA's office ever stop to think that maybe Nick was

the truth?

No.

Tina, this isn't the first time Carter's been slapped with an unnecessary force

citation.

Guy's a danger to himself and anybody else out on the street.

And of course, being my ex -lover didn't have anything to do with his being

grounded. Of course not.

You know, speaking of danger...

What are you guys doing about Yeager?

I mean, after all, he did threaten to kill anyone involved in his capture.

Yeah, well, if it were only Nick.

I'm just kidding.

Actually, we're getting our asses chewed for letting his lawyer fuck with us

like that.

You know, that's where we first met.

My first case as a DA.

Yeah, I joined the force.

Nick and Mati talked the captain into using me as bait.

Great bait.

I'm not just bait.

Have a good day.

Oh, yeah, right.

Pushing papers while everybody else is out having fun on the job.

Hey, think positive.

Positive, positive.

You better get going.

Get out of here.

Call me later.

All right, I'll call back.

Hey, what you doing?

Trying to find Yeager's address.

PO's in court all day.

Where's Matee?

He's out working the Dalton shoot.

You know, I've been thinking, wherever Dalton was from, maybe she already had a

record. Been there, done that. No one named Mary or Marilyn Dalton ever

committed a serious enough crime to come up on the interstate computers.

Okay, try this on.

She was just a kid, and a lot of states sealed juvenile records.

She wouldn't necessarily come up on our computers, even if she had done

something. Yeah, all right, good point. Where does it get us? I've got a friend

in juvie.

Their computers can tap into those sealed records.

What are you still sitting here for? Let's go.

Come on.

I already stopped by on my way to work.

We'll have an answer first thing tomorrow morning.

Thank you, Tina.

Thank you.

Very nice. Very nice. Over here one more time.

Wow. Beautiful.

Eyes over here.

I love you.

I

love

you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Let's rediscover what we had before.

Ooh,

I used to love the way we did. We don't need more than each other.

Just like it was when our love began.

You and I could be so good.

Thank you.

What's up?

The DA just released the surveillance tapes from the robbery.

Oh, yeah?

Any luck?

Not yet.

But I'd sure like to take a .45 to this thing.

Technology's a bitch, isn't it?

I used to laugh at my kids playing with those stupid video games.

Yeah. Hey, wait.

What? Hold on, look.

You know what?

I was starting to doubt that it was there myself.

You and those schmucks on Eternal Affairs are going to have to stand up

look.

What? I can't wait till Tyler sees us.

Onwards and upwards. Did you get Yeager's address?

No, his PO's still in court.

Miranda's going to bring it.

You know your one lucky little pup?

You live with the most beautiful woman in town. On top of that, she brings in

these chicks. They strip. I don't know.

Oh, come on, Mac.

All the guys I know, you're the most married.

I don't think you could cheat on Jenny if you tried.

I can dream, can't I?

All right, old buddy, then I'll do you a favor.

Why don't you run by the loft and give Miranda the good news?

Tell her you're in the neighborhood or something.

It'll be my pleasure, old buddy.

Great.

And don't stick your tongue out too far.

Left frame.

Bring your right shoulder down a little bit.

Beautiful.

There you go.

Nice work, girls.

That's lunch. I'm buying across the street.

I'll pass, Miranda. I'm on a diet.

Me too. Somebody has to make sure she doesn't cheat.

Okay,

just lock up if you leave. Girls, I'll meet you over there.

Come on.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Nick, what's this all about?

What's McTeague doing here?

I'll tell you later.

Mac! Mac!

Is he all right? What's the matter? Is he talking?

Nick, give the poor guy a chance, huh?

Jesus, Tina.

It's my fault that he came down here. What happened?

A hit and run, okay? Hell, I...

Maybe it really was just an accident and the poor driver's just screwed.

Oh, shit.

I sent someone over to the house and police it was Yeager.

They're going to watch the kids while Jenny's at the hospital.

Does the captain know that you're here?

Fuck him.

I'll take that as a no.

You're not supposed to be on active duty, Nick. You're going to get yourself

into a lot of trouble.

Look, don't lecture me, all right? You want to help me out? You go down to City

Hall, you find a P .O., you get that son of a bitch Yeager's address, and you

get it now, okay?

Will you go?

It's going to be okay, Nick.

Who's that?

Tina Masterson.

She and Nick used to be an item. It's been over a long time.

Sure doesn't look like it.

Hey.

How's he doing?

Oh, he's stable.

The doctor said he's got a concussion and some broken ribs.

They're mainly worried about the head wounds right now.

Can we see him?

He's going to be out until tomorrow.

Listen, we're going to put a guard on the door, okay?

A guard?

Why? Just a precaution, but there's someone out there who's threatened some

us who are responsible for his capture.

Well, I think that's who ran Mac over.

Miranda's going to get one, too. You know what? I just want to make sure he

can't get at our families.

Okay.

I better get back in there.

All right.

Bye.

We'll wait till the guard gets here.

Okay. See you in the morning. Thanks.

All right, come on. The guard's here. I'll take you to the studio. Where are

going? Well, I think Tina's probably got Yeager's address by now. It's about

time I paid him a visit.

What the? Come on.

You need very little motivation. Go. What are you going to do, Carter? Shoot

I'd like to.

Oh, well, Lieutenant. Long time no see.

This is a social call. You've got to search more.

Oh, well, well, well.

You want probation?

Naughty boy.

No warrant, huh?

You want suspension?

What's the DA going to say about you busting in here?

without probable cause.

Carl, I got an idea.

I ask the questions, and you answer them.

Where were you about noon today?

Someone tried to run my partner over.

And my bet's on you.

Fuck you, Carter.

I ain't left the room the whole day.

Ask Candy.

We've been catching up on old times, ain't we, baby?

Yeah, we've been here all afternoon.

I'm so full of bullshit, both of you.

You went out at 11 .30, and you came back at 1, and you came back alone.

Oh, yeah, I forgot.

Food.

We were working up a hell of an appetite.

You know what it's like being in love, Lieutenant.

Me and Candy here are just like you and that long -legged piece of meat you've

been shacking up with over on Commerce.

It's gone bad, I swear.

What do you know about Miranda?

You need the papers to time the two, huh?

See, I've been keeping up on all of you. It's sort of a hobby.

Like that bitch.

What's -her -name Masterson set me up. She's shacking up with the new DA.

I'm not going to run over some damn pig a week before my hearing, Carter.

Don't worry. You're all going to get yours. And when you do, it's going to be

close and personal.

wait to take you out.

Get off me!

Call your sister.

Tell her to get me a new piece.

And tell her to find me a new place to hide until I can figure out how to get

out of the country.

What about your hearing? The hearing's bullshit.

Don't you get it?

My lawyer just got lucky.

They're going to send me right back to the pen and I'm not going to let that

happen.

There's no one in the sky.

What do I do here?

Okay, listen, listen.

I want you to go out of town for a couple of days just so we put Yeager

good. Go to New York. You know, you said you had business there anyway, right?

I can't, Nick.

Don't you understand? I have a deadline. I have to finish this campaign.

It's like I'm not going to let some creep ruin my life.

Okay, okay, look, I'll tell you what.

I'm moving you for a couple of days just until things cool down. How's that?

Well, you are a cop.

Oh, if you insist. I do.

You need a hand?

Thanks, Detective Carter.

My friends call me Nick.

Nick.

Here, I'll get this for you.

I thought you'd be at the beach with Miranda.

Well, I was earlier, but she asked if I'd mind getting next week's shooting

order. I think she's testing me.

Yeah, well, don't tell her I said so, but I think you're shooing.

Listen, you want to grab some breakfast?

It's on me.

Oh, thanks, really. I'd love to, but I've got so much to do.

Okay, another time.

Listen, I work so hard.

You have a good day kid.

I'm going to the hospital to see Matt. Do you want to come there with me?

It'll be about 30 more minutes.

You wait.

Okay, I guess I can force myself.

Hey, how you feeling, man? Miranda.

Good to see you.

Yeah, he can't keep his hands off of any of the nurses, but I'm afraid he's

going to win.

And she had all my insurance and pension money.

You look beat, Jenny.

Have you had any sleep?

Not much.

Food? No.

Come on. Let me take you out to lunch. Come on. Come on. Go. Go ahead.

Seriously. How you doing?

Hurts like a son of a bitch, old man.

But I don't want to say anything. She gets all worried.

You make a man proud to be a man, Mac.

So, what happened?

I don't know.

I left Miranda's.

I guess my mind wasn't exactly on business. Next thing I know, I'm kissing

windshield, as somebody's called.

Jesus, Mac.

I'm sorry.

It's my fault.

It should have been me there.

Next time, be my guest.

Find, uh, Yeager.

Yeah.

And?

Says he was in the hotel room with his girlfriend all day.

Yeah, that's the life.

I always knew we were on the wrong side of the law.

Yeah, but he's lying. I checked with the motel clerk. They said he wasn't there

when you got popped.

All I need is a confirmation I can pop the bastard.

Sorry to disappoint you, old buddy. I can't tell you it was in your car.

Hey, Baby Cakes.

Here's the tracer you requested from Juvie.

That's Detective Baby Cakes to you, Bronson.

Whatever. Hey, how about you and me grabbing a beer some night?

What do you mean, like a date?

Yeah.

Hey, you know what? I'd love to, Gronky.

But I make it a rule never to date outside of my own studio.

Holy shit.

Is that Masterson? Meet me at the Grey Motel now.

Okay. Yeah, hey, wait, wait.

Yeah, Millie, hi, this is Tina.

Yeah, could you radio Carter for me? I need to speak with him.

Okay, thanks.

I'll try again for my car.

Hey, Bronski, I can't get a hold of Carter.

So if he comes in, tell him I went to the Gray Motel.

He'll know what it's about.

And warn him not to go to Moranis until I speak to him first. Why should I?

Because if you don't, I'm going to tell everybody we made love.

And I fell asleep in the middle.

Echo 5 -2, this is Echo 13.

Echo 5 -2, Echo 13, do you read me?

This is Echo 5 -2. I'm leaving the hospital now. Confirm.

Roger, Echo 5 -2. Be advised, Echo 13, you have three to confirm.

Roger.

Tina, maybe she has to... Echo 13, this is Echo 5 -2. Do you copy?

Echo 13, this is Echo 5 -2. Do you read?

Come on.

Take it.

Hey, Bronski.

Hey,

Bronski. Hey!

Where's Tina, man? It's this bad, so she's looking for me.

What do I look like, a keeper?

Come on, Bronski. Fuck you! Where is Tina, please?

Some hotel. How the hell should I know? The Grey Hotel?

Yeah, that's it. Damn, man, you need an attitude check.

Yeah, I love you too.

Come on, damn it.

Hi, I've reached the studio of Miranda Cross. Please leave a message at the

tone, and I'll return your call as soon as I can.

This is Echo 5 -2. Echo 5 -2, I have officer down at my location.

Roger, 5 -2, stand by.

Carter, that you?

Captain, he killed Tina, Captain.

Who? Yeager. I'm at his motel room, and he flipped Tina's throat just like the

others.

Oh, you scared me.

I thought I told you to take the day off.

You're working much too hard.

I just have one more thing to finish up Miranda, then I'll rest.

I promise.

Captain, he's only threatened Miranda once. It's possible he's coming after

I'm en route to her loft now.

I'm sending you this now, okay?

Yeah, send backup. Over. Right.

Kit, what are you doing?

Don't come any closer, Nick. I'll kill her. Nick, she's crazy.

Okay. That girl that you killed in that robbery, she was my sister.

I loved her.

Now I'm going to make you suffer, you bastards, like I've had to. I'm going to

kill everything you ever loved, just like you did to me.

No, Miranda, it's too late.

Did you see?

He did this.

Kit, Kit, Kit, look.

All right, all right.

Your sister, she shot the guy in the store in cold blood.

I had to. No!

Mary, why'd you use a gun? She's just a little wild as a... No, no. Your sister

and her boyfriend, they robbed a whole string of liquor stores. No!

You're lying!

You were suspended from active duty for lying! Hey, kid, I found the gun, okay?

And it was real.

Now, look. I don't know what happened between the time your sister left Ohio

now. It wasn't the same Mary...

It's a beautiful sunset, huh?

Yes, it is.

Might be a great sunrise, too.

We can stick around and find out.

Yeah, we can.

Pluto, I just want you to know how glad I am that you've been cleared.

And how good it is to feel safe again.

Yeah, it does feel good.

But I still would like to know what happened to Jaeger.

Any more?

No.

Okay.
