Oh my god, you know I'm late.

That any kind of greeting?

(answering machine beeps)

- [Answering Machine] Hey Dani,

it was terrific last night.

The fettuccine, the wine, the music, you're some cook.

Really looking forward to Saturday.

See you then.

(answering machine beeps)

Dani, hi, it's Meg.

I got the seats you wanted for the ballet.

Sunday's performance.

So give me a call if you can pry yourself loose

from the precinct, okay?

(answering machine beeps)

Dani, this is Captain Freeman, where the hell are you?

Snitch that was on the car robberies

finally came through,

and Cassidy's setting up surveillance right now.

- Okay, Dani, we're in position.

Adjacent to the rear of the theater,

and the restaurant.

We're checking out there.

- Still on point, no armored car or suspect yet.

- Anything moving on your side, Carbo?

- Wanna quit bugging me, Jameson?

I mean, if something's gonna go down,

what am I gonna be, the Lone Ranger?

- Okay guys, armored car's heading in

for the restaurant pickup.

Anybody's gonna go for it, now's the time.

- [Driver] Got 'em, they just turned into the alley.

Any sign of suspects?

(engine humming)

- Try on my side, they could be running a loose tail.

You get anything, Dani?

- Looks like we're gonna get lucky.

Tan van, headed your way.

Heads up, gentlemen.

- [Passenger] Here it comes now.

- [Driver] Turning into the alley,

following the armored truck.

- Let us out!

You've wrong and the rein's lid.

- It's going down!

(brakes squealing)

- [Criminal] Cops, cops!

(shotgun loading)

- Police!

You're done, sucker!

- You just bought the fuzz.

- Eat it, cop!

(fires gun)

- Get him, Dani!

Get him!

(running)

- Close the door, and move the bus, buddy!

Move move move!

(yelling)

(fires gun)

You down there, you back off!

- Everybody get down!

- I told you to back off, lady,

or I'm gonna blow her away!

- Let's be cool.

Let's just be cool.

- You back off!

- Come on, mister.

Easy.

- She's dead meat if she's--

- Oh no, oh no!

- We can talk about it.

- Oh please!

- I'll tell you what.

You let her walk, I let you walk.

You let her go and you're clean.

How about that?

(fires gun)

(screaming)

(sobbing)

(whimpers)

- Is he dead?

- I didn't hear him leave a wake up call.

(exhales)

(police siren blaring)

- You okay?

- The guy on the bus needs a priest.

I tried to talk him down.

He had a hostage.

I don't feel so well.

How's Carbo?

- Slug sliced clean through, didn't hit anything.

- It's good about Carbo, huh?

- So's the message that came in just before this went down?

- What message?

- Some cop named Hooker called in from LCPD.

They picked up your suspect on the Donovan murder warrant

we put out, Frankie Gable.

They're transporting him in tomorrow morning.

(phone ringing)

- [Phone] Hi, this is Dani.

I hate this machine as much as you do,

but I promise I'll get back to you

if you leave a nice message at the sound of the beep.

- [Answering Machine] Hi baby, it's Dad.

I'm still in New York.

But I heard about your shooting.

Are you okay?

I can come back if you need me.

Dani, I know you're a good cop, a great cop.

You don't have to prove anything to me.

Love you.

(phone ringing)

- [Phone] Hi, this is Dani.

I hate this machine as much as you do,

but I promise I'll get back to you

if you leave a nice message at the sound of the beep.

(beeps)

- [Answering Machine] Dani, Cassidy.

I know how shook up you were at having to pull

the trigger on that guy.

Try to hold yourself together, okay?

(sobbing) (sad music)

- Tell me, how's a guy with some auto theft arrests,

and a couple of safecracking convictions

suddenly get in a murder?

- You're wasting your breath, cop.

- Just making some idle conversation there, Frankie.

- You're looking to be my new best friend, Hooker?

Or you're wired, just want me to tell my life story?

- I just wanna know what makes you

such a hot potato that Hollywood couldn't wait

for a routine jail transfer.

- Well you see these Hollywood detectives

are making one large mistake.

I didn't murder nobody.

- Right, you were at a Boy Scout meeting at the time.

- It was a Girl Scout meeting.

I was at a campfire girl meeting.

- I got a very clear picture of what you were doing

in my town, Gable.

You were casing jewelry center.

Now I just bet if I dig deep enough,

you tied about five other jewelry heists

around the state.

- You're dreaming, pal, dreaming.

(upbeat music)

- Alright, they're heading towards you now.

Do it right, Morano, or don't bother coming back.

(brakes squealing)

- We want Frankie Gable!

Throw out your key, and don't touch the guns.

This man dies if you give us any trouble.

♪ Cos I know you really want me

- It does appear that there's more to me

than meets the eye, doesn't there?

♪ With all the changes that you put me through

♪ You pulled the truth and run

♪ And I pursued

♪ It don't mean a thing

♪ If I can't make sweet love to you

♪ You can't hide inside (trails off)

- Dr Starr.

- Do I understand you're the one

who lost my prisoner?

- First of all, Frankie Gable wasn't your prisoner,

he was my prisoner.

- Being delivered to me.

- And second of all, I didn't lose him,

he was grabbed.

- Same thing in my book.

- Well if you knew he was such a high risk prisoner,

then why didn't you let me know?

- Because I didn't know.

Look, I barely have the guy in a homicide rap.

I have no motive, and no reason to believe

anybody would wanna grab him.

- Well, we better get started in finding all that out.

Because I'm sticking around until

we get Frankie Gable back.

Where's the squad room?

- If we?

We?

Look, you can't work in this city

without authority from the Chief.

- Who wants to give Detective Starr the good news?

- Since this is your case, and Carbo is

gonna be off for a week or two,

the Captain said that you get to work with Hooker.

- Now wait just a minute.

- No no, don't look at me.

They got Jameson and me working fulltime

on these armored truck robberies.

- Look, we think Frankie Gable ties about

five jewel heists around the state.

I'm gonna need to get an ID on the guys

who snatched them.

- How do you suggest that Officer Corgan

get this Hollywood machine working?

- About the same way the LCPD machine works.

Call Ladens, have them run a search

on the prints SID pulled out of the cage

of that skip loader that waylaid you.

- That's a start.

How about a composite artist?

I like to put those faces down on paper.

- Okay.

- We can do this the easy way, working together,

or we can do it the hard way.

- Take your best shot.

- I wanna know why Frankie Gable was grabbed.

What made him so valuable to somebody?

- He had friends.

Somebody didn't wanna see him take the homicide rap.

- He was a suspect picked up on a warrant,

there was no way to know that there'd be a conviction,

no way to even guess that you'd hold him.

- So where do we start?

- Let's start with a recap of the homicide

that you want Frankie Gable for.

Begin at square one.

- That oughta get us back on track.

- Good, then you won't mind driving.

The shop is still working on getting me

a new set of keys.

- It figures.

But the faster we start, the faster we part.

Know what I mean?

♪ You can't hide inside that (mumbles)

♪ You can't hide

♪ You can't hide that passion

♪ Baby

- [Hooker] I like your car,

how do you afford it on a cop's salary?

- [Starr] Daddy bought it for me.

(80's pop music)

Homicide victim was one Richard Donovan.

At the time of his murder he was an independent

movie producer.

The Alternate Fantasy was going to be his next film,

but a bullet got in the way of that last Tuesday night.

The way I see it, Donovan pulled in here

and the killer pulled in behind him.

And Donovan got out of his car,

started walking back towards the other car.

- And bam, he got it right in the tenring.

- I've established this much, so far.

An hour before Donovan's death

he had dinner at a restaurant with the director

of his current film.

- [Hooker] That's this guy, Alan Hartman.

And our suspect Frankie Gable.

- Right.

After dinner they left the restaurant

in two separate cars.

Now I have a witness who knows Frankie Gable,

and she saw him prowling around

outside the restaurant the whole time they were eating.

- If Donovan didn't live here,

what do you think he was doing in the area?

- Maybe it was his most favorite place.

Welcome to Hollywood.

- [Hooker] Oh yeah.

Didn't I read somewhere that an actress

jumped off that sign?

- Years ago.

She took a ladder and climbed up on top

of the H and did a swan dive

because RKO didn't pick up her option.

- [Hooker] Some beach you have.

- Grows on you.

- [Radio] Six king 22, come in.

- King 22, go ahead.

- [Radio] King 22, a child calling about

an Andrea Colt is requesting you at 1927 Eward,

says it's urgent.

- Andrea's my witness I told you about,

who can place Gable with Donovan outside the restaurant.

King 22, roger.

(revs engine)

- [Hooker] This Andrea, what's her relationship to Gable?

- Stepfather's a sleaze named Vick Colt,

hangs out with Gable.

First met Andrea when I was working juvenile,

and I got a call about Colt,

he was sexually abusing her.

So she started with the drugs.

- Dani!

- Kerry, has your stepfather been giving you trouble again?

- No, it's my sister Andrea.

There's something wrong, Dani, real wrong.

(ominous music)

- Call for paramedics.

- I did, a few minutes before you got here.

- Andrea, what is it?

- Get the child out of here.

Heroin.

Overdose or hotshot.

- Cardiac arrest.

(ominous music)

1001, 1002, 1003.

1001, 1002, 1003.

(background chatter)

- See?

What'd I tell ya?

Andrea gets enough of my kind of harassment

and goes right back to the needle.

No more threat to you.

- That remains to be seen, Vick.

- [Dani] Kerry, we'll follow you to the hospital.

- You're a walking social service (mumbles).

- Just a cop trying to look after her only witness.

(ambulance siren blaring)

- I made composites of the goons that

grabbed Frankie Gable.

- Great.

Stacey and Ramona?

- On the way.

Captain assigned them to us so we have this thing wrapped.

- What about the prince and the skip owner?

- They came back to a Jake Morano.

He's connected to mob porn activities in Chicago

10 years ago.

Take a look at who the filmmaker was.

Recognize him?

- It's Richard Donovan, my murder victim.

- Anything else?

- Chicago intelligence heard a rumor that Morano

was staying at the Starlight Motel.

We checked, he's long gone,

but the credit card that he used to pay for his motel bill

belonged to Donovan's production company.

And it's the same card number that the Director Hartman

used to pay for dinner the night Donovan was murdered.

- Porn, Chicago, mob connections.

A whole new way to track Frankie Gable.

- Organized crime.

(mellow 80's rock music)

♪ Deep inside me

♪ Tearing me apart each lonely day

♪ You can soothe my spirit with some of your loving

♪ If you're by my side we can make it okay

(fires gun)

(yells)

- Give me a black and white over on the right.

♪ All I need is understanding just to let me grow

(yells)

Good, pull it in.

Bring out that black and white!

Come on, let's move in that car, move it in!

What now?!

- Come on, Mr Hartman, be cooperative, huh?

So we don't have to make a large scene.

This is Sergeant Hooker, LCPD.

- Business with Detective Starr or just touring?

- No, my interest is in your credit card.

- Credit card?

- The one you used to pay for dinner

the night Donovan was killed.

- So I used a company card, what about it?

- Same card was used to rent a room

by a mobster named Jake Morano.

- It's a suspect that we believe was Donovan's killer.

- Mobster?

That's absolutely bizarre, there must be some mistake.

- Really.

Let's start with a look at these two.

- This one I saw for the first time

when Detective Starr showed it to me.

I've never seen this man in my life.

- He's the one you rented a room for.

- That's a damn lie.

The card number is used by a lot of people in the company.

Ask the front office for a list.

And just for the record, kid,

I resent the hell out of your insinuation.

Richard Donovan was a friend of mine.

You don't seem to wanna believe that.

- He knows more than he's saying.

- You're right, this is the third time I've talked to him

and I haven't been able to shake anything loose.

People in Hollywood get desperate,

they do desperate things because the stakes are so high.

- Well maybe you'd get more out of him

if you laid on a little charm.

- You mean, bat my baby blues and flirt?

Why don't you try it?

- I would if I had your equipment.

- Right, nice to know you aren't a chauvinist.

- Hooker.

Is that really you?

- Trixie.

- Hi.

- How are you, baby?

- Oh God, it's good to see you.

- What are you doing here?

- Well put it this way.

If you gave me the biggest break of my life,

this runs a close second.

I bought a bus ticket to Hollywood,

I worked my tail off, I got lucky and I just landed

a role in this picture!

- That's great.

You still clean?

- Yeah.

- Excuse me, this is Detective Starr.

We're looking into the Richard Donovan murder.

- Ever see either of these two guys?

- [Trixie] Yeah, this one.

He hired on as a union driver here a couple of weeks ago.

Haven't seen him in a few days, though.

- And what about this one, his name's Frankie Gable.

- Uh, no, he's not familiar to me.

Hey, look, I'm doing makeup.

Stay in touch.

- From a gopher in the porn business

to a union driver.

- He's using a shotgun to help take Gable.

- He gets around.

- A mob guy.

That cinches it.

Organized crime has access to this production company.

And we have a whole new field to mine.

Got a last known address on Gable?

- Venice.

He lived the good life, at the beach.

- I keep thinking of what he said.

There's more to him than meets the eye.

I don't know who he is, where he came from,

known associates, what his tie to the Mob is,

I wanna know chapter and verse,

down to what his birthmark looks like.

- It's Alan Hartman.

Got same cop who was asking questions about Donovan

was back, with some out of town cop.

I'm scared.

They can get me as an accessory.

- Get your act together.

Get yourself a pine box and a reservation at the cemetery

next to your producer friend Donovan.

Those cops aren't gonna let up.

- I told you, you shoulda taken care of Vick Colt's

stepdaughter before she talked to her.

- Couldn't even hold you for two minutes,

how much she told.

- Well I'm supposed to take a confidant, eh?

Look pal, I know why you guys grabbed me,

because I'm the only guy that can crack that safe

and put five million in cold hard diamonds in your hands.

- So how far along are you with the diamond mart plans?

- Okay.

Now, there are four independent systems.

We got silent ringers that go to an alarm company

over the phone line, here, here, and here.

We've got infra-red pots right.

Now we got magnetics over the front door over here.

The vault door, it's bugged,

and it's made from some special kind of alloy.

We're gonna have to use heavy duty torches to burn through.

- Alright.

So with this, and what you've already brought in

from the other heists, we can cover the 10 million

that jerk Donovan blew on his artsy movies.

- What about these two cops that are playing tag with me?

(ominous music)

- [Hooker] No Frankie Gable to be found,

but it's sure a nice neighborhood.

- I used to live out here.

Cut classes to hit the beach at sunrise,

surf all day, hang out all night

with characters that would fail a police blotter.

- Rich girl in (mumbles).

- Something like that.

My father's a writer.

Wrote a lot of big pictures for a lot of years,

and got lucky in television.

We've had our ins and outs.

I love him, but--

- Not even buying a new Mercedes solved it, hm?

- Never stopped trying to prove to him

I could make it on my own.

Not since...

- Since what?

- It's not important.

- [Hooker] Dani.

Talk to me.

Something's on your mind.

- It's nothing you need to be concerned about.

- Well I am.

So I guess I'll just keep on playing it close,

until I know for sure.

- [Dani] Know what?

- That I can trust you.

That I understand why you suddenly got quiet

when we landed on the idea that organized crime

figures in this case.

- What's bothering me has nothing to do with this case.

- [Hooker] Nothing?

Nothing at all?

- The Mob killed my husband.

That's what's on my mind.

And this case is bringing back some memories

I'm not sure I can deal with.

(80's upbeat music)

- They're all over Frankie's neighborhood.

You have an idea how close they're getting?

(loads gun)

- I'm ready.

- Now we'll wait for dark.

- [Radio] King 22 come in.

- Go ahead, guard in.

- [Radio] Apparently when Jake Morano

graduated from porn he left New York

and learned the safecracking trade in Chicago.

And guess who Chicago intelligence puts down as his teacher?

- Frankie Gable.

- It's all dovetailing into the jewelry robberies, isn't it?

- Progress.

What's number two?

- Andrea's been released from the hospital.

- Already?

- That's what I asked, but the doctor said

she was in good enough shape to go in outpatient status.

But here's the real kicker.

According to her social worker,

Andrea turned in her heroin connection.

It's her stepfather.

- Vick Colt.

- Roger.

Didn't you say Colt and Gable used to deal together?

- Nail him and we've got a perfect squeeze

to locate Gable, is that what you're thinking?

- We're on the same frequency once again.

You got the search warrant?

- One Vick Colt, and a lead to Frankie Gable, coming up.

- [Andrea] Stop it!

- That's Andrea's voice.

(tense music)

(hammers on door)

- Police!

Open up!

(screaming)

- Andrea!

- Open the door, it's the police, open the door.

- Andrea, what are you doing?

What happened with the social worker?

- He came, with some legal paper that he's (mumbles).

- I don't like coming into my house!

- Get back there.

- Andrea!

(sobbing)

- It'll be alright.

It'll be alright.

- No it won't be.

- You have a right to remain silent.

You have the right to remain silent,

and everything you say can or will be used against you

in a court of law.

- We'll have to come back like before.

He'll make us come back.

- No they won't, sweetheart.

Not this time.

Not this time.

(sobbing)

It's okay.

It's gonna be okay.

(sad music)

- The auditors have barely scratched the financial surface.

Looks like Hartman's paychecks in the film company

don't match his income.

- Part of a laundering scam?

- That's what we're hoping we can prove

when the auditors get deeper than a scratch.

Oh hey, Hooker.

I found us a place to crash.

208, Sunset Motel.

- Nice, you'll like it there.

Pimp and junkie heaven.

- I told you to let me handle that.

- You were busy.

- Right.

If I see any roaches,

you're gonna bite the dust before them.

Of course.

- Where to in such a hurry?

- A place you might be interested in.

I broke Vick Colt, to give you a possible hangup

on Frankie Gable.

- Great.

- Heard you have a protective watch on Andrea

and her sister.

- Andrea's a good kid, Hooker,

she doesn't deserve what she's getting.

- Like what you got out of your marriage?

- I told you the Mob killed my husband.

What I didn't tell you is that he was one of them.

- Yeah I know.

I talked to Cassidy.

He told me you had it pretty rough.

- We were kids getting started.

Johnny got a job cutting meat,

then I got pregnant and had to stop working

and he got fired all at the same time.

Then I had a miscarriage.

The bills started piling up and before I knew it

Johnny's cousin Vincent starting helping Johnny out.

I tried to stop him but he just couldn't stand

to see me living like we were.

I don't know.

Maybe we were trying to prove something to my father.

Then one morning he went out and he never came back.

They found him in the airport,

in the trunk of a Buick with a 22 slug

in the back of his head and an overdue parking ticket

on the windshield.

- Sorry.

- I buried him.

Paid the ticket, and tried hard not to look back.

I guess three years just isn't long enough.

- Is Johnny the reason you became a cop?

- Part of it.

I was faced with two choices with Johnny gone.

Go home to my father or make it on my own.

The detective who was handling his murder,

kind of adopted me, and I guess he steered me

in this direction.

- That's a good cop, always recruiting.

- He's retired now, but we stay in touch.

- Thanks for leveling with me.

All the way.

- I never go all the way with a guy I hardly know.

Know what I mean?

(sexy music)

(phone buzzes)

- Officer Romano?

I'm sorry, Sergeant Hooker isn't here,

but I'm his partner, can I help you?

- Tell him to be careful.

They're gonna try to kill him.

(somber music)

(energetic music)

- You think Colt gave you a righteous address on Gable?

- If he didn't I'll be right back in his face.

(brakes squealing)

(energetic music) (gun firing)

(brakes squealing)

- They tried to get us.

Like they did Johnny.

(doorbell rings)

- How do you feel about working when you're off-duty?

- Why, you got something?

- Yeah, a phone call while we were being shot at.

And a lady saying be careful.

Romano took it.

- He get a name?

- No, but I think I know who it was.

I thought you might like to see if I was right.

- Sure.

Give me a second.

- Take two hours.

I don't know where to start til after 10 o'clock.

That's when the party begins.

- Party?

- The wrap party for Hartman's picture.

- Hooker, are you going Hollywood on me already?

- Just following your moves.

- Want something to eat?

- No.

You certainly keep busy off duty.

- You ever have to kill someone, Hooker?

- I heard about the shootout you were in.

Shooting team ruled that it was self-defense.

Not your fault.

- You're not answering my question.

- 'Nam was the first time.

And I've had to do it in the streets.

It doesn't get any easier,

but sometimes you have to do it for your own survival.

Or to protect the people you put on the badge to serve.

- Mob doesn't have any trouble pulling the trigger.

- You're thinking about pulling it again, aren't you?

Cassidy told me about your homework.

Any downtime you have, you're back in the case, digging.

Turning the case folders inside out.

Trolling for new witnesses.

Re-interviewing old ones in your husband's death.

- It's real simple, Hooker.

I want Johnny's killer.

- It wasn't one mechanic that killed your husband.

It was the whole organization.

Be satisfied every time I get a piece.

Where you going?

- You said we had two hours.

I'm going to put them on notice

that I'm after the next piece.

- [Hooker] Who?

- The Mob.

(energetic music)

- I know what's going on inside you.

Dig down deep.

Keep it under control.

- No you don't know what's going on inside me, Hooker.

Nobody does.

(somber music)

(soft classy music)

- Hello Dani.

- Vince.

- This is my cousin by marriage, Dani the cop.

I see you got yourself a new friend.

- This isn't a social visit, Hazard.

Name's Hooker, LCPD.

- You're thinking of transferring to another city, Dani?

- You like getting rid of anyone in the City of Angels,

someone learns that taking out a cop is a mistake.

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

Why don't you sit down, relax, have some shrimps

and scongili and clams.

Listen, I always wanted to ask you,

what do you cops see in doing what you do?

I mean, always crying, busting business,

you're never gonna get rich, you know.

- If I was after the money, I'd give you a call.

Just like Johnny did.

- We're not gonna travel down that road again, are we?

Listen.

Johnny was in the wrong place at the wrong time,

and some of the boys from Lahoya took exception to,

whatever.

- I heard they were from Chicago.

- Then you know more than I do.

- Somebody else from Chicago was around the other day.

- Is that right?

- Jake Morano.

- I can't place the name.

- Let's not dance all night, Vince.

- You know what your trouble is, Dani?

You always gotta win.

You have to prove something in that female head of yours.

I want you to take something by you and your friend

here of yours, take a vacation.

Somewhere where the air's clear.

You'll live longer, both of you, believe me.

- I'll take a vacation,

the day Johnny's killer takes his last breath.

- I was only thinking of your health, you know.

Nobody's invincible.

- That goes for you and your people, Hazard.

Remember that.

- Tell your boys the next time they're in my neighborhood,

I sleep with one eye open.

- They never quit, huh?

- Don't worry.

We'll put the diamond job down before

they can refill their gas tanks.

- Do you think he had something to do

with the death of your husband?

- Yeah, I do.

What hurts is knowing I'll probably never

be able to do anything to prove it.

- 10 o'clock, let's go with what we got.

Director named Hartman.

That auditors tied to an illegal money laundering scheme.

And a lady that tried to warn us about a hit.

- Okay.

(energetic music) (background chatter)

- Can we talk?

In private?

- I just overheard them talking about the hit, Hooker.

I heard 'em use your name.

That's why I called you.

- It was a Johnny fixture?

- The same guy you showed me a picture of the other day.

Frankie Gable.

(energetic music)

- You're a very charming man, Mr Hartman.

Still, one the mob would consider expendable.

Now the records we found prove that you did

what they asked you to do.

Now I'd like a name.

The next rung up the ladder?

- You're a sweet kid, but you're also bluffing.

There are no records there.

- The name she's looking for is Vincent Hazard.

Hazard, Mr Hartman.

And when we give all the records

and all your laundering schemes to the grand jury,

it'll be my pleasure to say the name came from you.

Let's go.

- Just when I was beginning to like you.

Too bad.

- Alright.

But you have to protect me.

Hazard and Richard Donovan were on the outs.

He knew that Richard didn't trust him.

So Hazard told me to get him up to the Hollywood sign,

on the pretext of discussing it as a picture location.

I thought Hazard wanted him up there

to talk about the trouble.

I swear, I didn't know he was gonna be killed.

- You mean you wouldn't let yourself admit it.

Let's go.

- [Frankie] You sure you can short this gauge?

- You wanted to get your hands on the ice first,

didn't ya, you watch.

I'll work, no questions.

(ominous music)

(clicking)

- Hooker!

I checked the address Chris Wild gave you, no Gable.

- Found this in the garbage.

- Looks like an alarm systems schematic,

there's a sketch on the back.

Might be some kind of rough map.

- Strike a nerve?

- An expensive one, but city block arrangement

looks like downtown.

If it is, that's the Jewelry Mart.

(scraping)

(brakes squealing)

(rattling)

(beeping)

- I know it, somebody's in the building.

Alright, we got enough, let's wrap this thing up

and let's get outta here.

(tense music)

Alright, gather those things and leave them here, let's go!

(tense music)

- Freeze!

Against the wall, move!

I said, move!

(tense music)

- [Dani] Freeze!

(grunts)

- I got him.

(tense music)

- Drop the case.

- Take it easy, Dani, take it easy.

- Drop the case.

- Okay, okay okay.

Here it comes.

- Now the gun.

- I ain't carrying anything, honey.

- Drop it!

Last chance.

- You wouldn't shoot your husband's own cousin,

would you, sweetheart?

- Don't you believe it, pal.

(cocks gun)

(gun hitting floor)

(upbeat music)

- Heard you were on your way home.

- The dispatcher said you were here,

thought I'd drop by.

What have you got?

- Ride-by shooting.

Everything and everybody says it's a street gang beef.

- And what does Dani Starr say?

- Victim's connected to some funny real estate deals,

got an iffy partner.

- Who might want him quiet.

- Crossed my mind.

It's also gonna get my full attention.

- Not bad for three years on the job.

- That mean I can come around,

discuss the case, Hooker?

- Well the way you're going,

you're gonna have everything solved

before there's anything to talk about.

- Wish my dad could hear you say that.

- I wish we coulda learned more about Johnny's death.

- It'll come.

A piece at a time.

- I know it will.

I'll be in touch.

- I'm counting on it.
