the paradise.

two men were killed.

one of the girl employees Was seriously injured.

I read about that.

Is it true that

A lot of those places are A cover for prostitution?

So someone's tipping someone?

either that or those girls have Really started giving massages.

No. I don't think so, charlie.

for you to go into The vice di vision

He's a good man. I Worked with him back east.

He's smart to get out of vice.

I remember he told Me once, years ago,

You walk in the Gutter long enough,

You're going to get some on you.

I'll try to step lightly.

We got a tip this morning

That a massage Parlor called telly's

Opened up last week,

And they might be Bringing in a few hookers.

Shall we take a look?

Well, if you could Wander in there

And convince them You're a lady of the night...

All right.

Um, I'll need to wear something

That's a little More conspicuous.

Oh, there's a terrific Number in wardrobe.

Blue-fringed pantsuit.

You'll love it.

Blue-fringed?

Hi! How've you been?

Do we know you?

Paradise massage.

I worked there One day last month.

You don't seem familiar to us.

I don't?

She's got great hands, But a lousy memory.

You remember me?

Actually, uh, no.

Listen, I'm a little worried.

The cops might find Out I work for paradise

And, uh, pick me up and Start asking questions.

So, who arranged for your Bail? If I need help who do I turn to?

Listen, we don't Know who sprung us

And we don't want to know.

Want some taco?

Thanks. Might ruin My trip to tijuana.

Since you've got us Covered downtown, charlie,

We don't want to be closed Down until we make contact.

Oh, yes, jill is slipping Into her role nicely.

Say, by the way,

Since you've been Complaining of a sore back,

Why don't you drop Down for a massage?

Oh, it wasn't your Back that was sore.

Well, in that case, why Don't you send the lady?

No? All right. We'll Be in touch later.

Charlie has "Arranged" for Us to get a business license.

What do you think?

Va-va-va-voom!

Oh, excuse me, sir. We won't Be open for about an hour.

If you would care To take a walk.

Unless you have a Cramp or something.

I am breshnik.

Oh, good. Good for you.

I own this building.

Oh. Breshnik. Our new landlord.

Well, how nice to meet you, sir.

Not to touch breshnik.

You never touch?

Breshnik bought this To be "Temple breshnik."

Now, it's filled with pagans.

Oh, you're a man of the cloth.

Not cloth... Leaves.

This was breshnik's dream.

All bodies should wrap Themselves in leaves.

That is how it was From the beginning.

In the beginning, Who had clothes?

Nobody!

So what did they wear?

Let me guess... Leaves?

Actually, at first, tiger skins.

But where are the Tigers today? Nowhere!

Oh, so now you're Back to leaves.

You laugh at breshnik?

No, no. Not so far.

But, now, my temple,

Violated,

Filled with cloth worshippers.

Breshnik is not pleased. You have my lease?

Oh, yes, of course, Mr. Breshnik!

Here we are.

Someday, all bodies Will be in leaves!

Amen.

You know, actually, It's not such a bad idea.

If we had our shirts made Out of tobacco leaves,

When we got tired of Them, we could smoke them!

I think you already Have, bosley.

Hello.

this is doc.

Doc! What's happening?

that help rogers was bringing in

turns out to be a lady.

So? We got no worry.

No, we got worry.

Her credentials are Too good to ignore.

Yeah, well, steer her Down some blind alleys.

I'd like to, but I can't. Rogers Has her as my assistant.

Oh, well, uh, what do you want?

What I want is the days To go smooth as oil.

I want the children to smile And the fools to keep dancing.

and what I got with Her this close to me

is big trouble.

so here's how it goes...

She'll walk in the Backdoor of telly's

In about an hour wearing A blue-fringed pantsuit.

I want it to look Like an accident.

And it should be quick

and as painless as possible.

Doc, uh, I don't like it...

Killing a woman.

You want to live well? You need one of two things:

A rich daddy, which You don't have,

or a noteworthy Lack of conscience,

which you do have.

you made your decisions, You tasted the wine,

Now it's time to pay your dues.

Do it quick and do it right.

It's early.

It's early. They're Not open yet.

Try the back door.

Okay. Once I'm there, then what?

Well, we'll take it One step at a time.

Let's call this one, "Try Operating from the inside."

Oh, I'll write if I get work.

Very pretty girl.

Shut up!

I don't like this any Better than you do.

Come on! Let's get out of here.

Blue ford, late model, License plate j-n-j-3-2-2.

Okay, I'll hold.

Charlie is running some Instant numbers through the dmv.

You only got a quick Look at the license

And you don't have any Idea who was in the car.

No. Maybe it was a couple Of angry fashion designers.

Then there was More than one person.

Yeah.

Sounds like you Were set up, bree.

The thought Crossed my mind, yeah.

Who knew you were in that alley?

Well, only lieutenant Fine and his whole section.

What about fine?

What about him? He's a good cop.

He's been on the Force a lot of years.

Kelly, did you talk to the Girls from the paradise?

They're out on bail And very untalkative.

What about that one who Was injured, natalie sands?

She's in intensive Care, unconscious.

She's got a nurse with her And a cop guarding the door.

sabrina.

Yeah, charlie.

are you sure you got that License number correct?

I think so. Why?

because that License is registered

to a man named john barton,

a cadet at the police academy.

The police academy?

Well, that's crazy.

Charlie, are you sure?

the point is, are you sure?

did you get the Right license number?

I don't know. I was badly Shaken and it happened quickly.

You know, if we make a move And it happens to be wrong...

We can tip our hand and blow it.

exactly, kelly.

we can't afford to Make any mistakes.

we've got to be sure.

I think one of us had better...

How do you say in the Service, "Re-up" at the academy.

You always looked good In that cadet uniform, kelly.

Will you call the academy?

Set up my cover for me, charlie,

And make sure I'm In barton's class.

consider it done, And good luck, kelly.

Say, could you give A girl some change?

Sure thing. Sure.

What would you like?

I usually buy my own.

Well, now I'm buying. That's the change.

Clever fellow.

Well, I wouldn't hassle you.

You're too handy With that pistol.

Where'd you learn To shoot like that?

My daddy's farm used to Be overrun with rabbits.

I'll bet there aren't many left.

You're right.

You got a name?

Kelly garrett.

John barton.

Ted miller. Hi.

Hi.

Well, how'd you Get into this class

Halfway through?

I dropped out a few years ago...

Figured something Better would come along.

It didn't work out.

Too bad.

Oh, something will come along. Then I'll rabbit out of here.

Real dedicated type, huh?

You can't eat steak and Champagne on a cop's salary.

And I'll bet you just Love steak and champagne.

That's the second Bet you'd have won.

Well, I know a place

That serves a fillet About that thick.

I know a better place, Devereaux's. Lunch is divine.

But cheap it ain't.

I can handle it.

And eat peanut butter Sandwiches until payday.

Well, there are paydays And then there are paydays.

Ah, he's really Mr. Gotbucks, right?

Just plays policeman For the fun of it?

We do okay.

"We" it is. Have I stumbled On the gold dust twins?"

Well, let's just say...

We're about as dedicated To being cops as you are.

Here's to dedication.

Okay, barton and miller Have money to spend

And they're not ashamed to Let you know that playing cop

Isn't their favorite game.

So, the obvious question... Why are they cadets?

To be a cop on the take, First you got to become a cop.

So, somebody put Them in the academy

So they could learn to go dirty.

It fits, bree.

If someone in vice Set you up to be killed,

Barton and miller Could be the ones

Who tried to kill you.

It. Prove but we can't

We've got to find out

Who barton and miller Are working with in vice.

Until we've got The whole package,

We've got nothing.

Maybe we got something.

You know that Girl, natalie sands?

Yeah.

She's out of intensive care

And she's conscious enough To maybe answer questions.

Okay, it's time for me to Start playing cop again.

Also, charlie pulled Some strings at city hall.

So, we at the paradise Have a license to practice

That honorable and Ancient art of body massage.

Terrific! Okay, You got your fish,

You got your bait...

Let's just hope they nibble.

And, you, you lucky girl,

You'll get to play Masseuse until they do.

I knew there was a rub.

You could've gone all Day without saying that.

All week!

Y'all be careful.

It could get tough When it goes down.

Okay.

Well, welcome to paradise, sir.

May we interest you in Some epidermal stimulation?

Hi.

Um... I have a real sore back.

I... I can hardly move.

Could you check Your glasses, please?

My glasses?

Before lieutenant Fine got there?

Doc tipped you off, right?

Yeah, that's right.

Did you ever see doc?

That's okay.

Too bad we didn't get something.

Didn't get anything?

There's a guy in the Department on the take

And they call him doc.

But she's never seen Doc or his two friends.

You'll break his leg.

Okay, back on the bus.

Okay, look,

The most important Thing to remember

Is the location of The first chakra.

That's what controls the spine.

What's a chakra?

According to east Indian philosophy,

There are six chakras...

The solar plexus, The heart, the throat,

The pituitary, the third Eye, the base of the spine.

Which has to do With one's sexuality.

Right.

How do you know that?

I dated an east Indian tennis player.

That's all he ever talked about.

I knew an east Indian woman once.

All she ever talked about Was her apple chutney.

Can we get back to the Chutney? I mean the chakra.

This is very important.

If one of your Chakras is out of sync,

You're in big trouble.

Your whole body... You Just don't feel good.

Two days in a massage parlor And you learned all that?

One of my customers Wore a turban.

He was very Informative... Heavy tipper.
