Original subtitles

Good swim, huh?

Yep.

I thought I saw something down there, something big.

Couldn't be sharks, could it?

Look, you saw "Jaws" three times, "Jaws 2" twice.

You didn't see anything?

All I saw was shadows.

Cut the engines.

There's trouble ashore.

Cameron's signaling not to come in.

Put her about.

Hey!

Not another shark.

I think I smell smugglers.

What are we gonna do about it?

Well, I know we can't catch the boat.

Come on.

Come back here, you. Come back!

- No, I'm okay. I'm not hurt.

I didn't have anywhere to go. I didn't know what to do.

He was driving like a maniac.

It was red, all red, a Camaro.

Can anybody hear me?

Oh, my gosh! Sharon! Get her!

Get me out!

'Oh, Sharon!'

'Sharon..'

If I ever get my hands on that sub-human specimen

he'll wish he lived on another planet!

That pea-brained hotrod freako!

Where is he? Get him back here.

These guys saw it all.

Witnesses. Get their names! I want their names.

- Jon Baker. - Toni Bedrano.

Frank Poncherello.

Ah! Officer Poncherello, Sergeant Duane Aikens

administrative narcotics, LAPD.

He works on marine drug smuggling.

Hi, sergeant.

Sarge, could I have a report

so I could make a copy for the girls?

- Here, take mine.

No, I took a memory course.

They saw some flashes. They saw a boat turn around.

Which boats sometimes do when they're getting close to shore.

Otherwise, you see, they might run aground.

Now, wait a minute.

Those flashes had a pattern, like a code..

...and the boat responded.

What kind of a boat?

That's one of the things you didn't have in your report.

A cabin cruiser, smallish, yellow and white.

Oh. Oh, now we're making some progress.

I mean, there can't be more than 5,000 smallish

'yellow and white cabin cruisers out there.'

I saw it. My partner saw it.

Zero multiplied.

Listen, the guy that took off in the red Camaro

was not uptight about nothing.

Well, maybe he thought you two were going to mug him.

Hey, what do you ad narcs get?

Promotion points for insult?

Wait a minute, wait a minute, okay.

Maybe you guys did stumble in on a smuggling operation

and maybe you did force the bad guys to cancel their delivery.

But look what you give me.

A man with no name, a car with no numbers

and a cabin cruiser.

Smallish. Yellow and white.

Look, if they come up with one hard fact, give me a call, huh?

I'll notify the harbor patrol, and we'll go to work, okay?

I hope we're not wasting your time.

Aikens..

...we don't pretend to be detectives.

'But I'll bet my badge'

we can nail those guys

with the facts we have..

...while you're downtown polishing your pants.

That's very good.

Tell me, how do you plant kelp underwater?

I don't know.

I'm the biologist.

She's the marine photographer.

Oh, right.

How do you plant kelp underwater?

- Very carefully. - Ahh.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

It's alright. Next time you go scuba-diving, let me know.

I'll take your picture.

Oh, I'm not gonna go scuba-diving anymore.

You never know when there might be another attack

of the deadly killer shadows.

That Grossman's not afraid of sharks, he's related to 'em.

The shark is known as nature's perfect eating machine.

Ha!

Listen, you guys, it was nice meeting you.

Thanks for the invitation.

It sounds like fun.

Well, yeah, we're all gonna get together Sunday.

Um...Toni and Jon and Bonnie and her friend..

...you and me?

Terrific.

And thanks for the accident reports.

My insurance man will be ecstatic.

- Alright. - See you guys.

- See you soon there. - Bye-bye.

- Bye. - Bye.

LA 15, 7 Adam in pursuit of a black '78 Porsche 928.

Partial, yellow-Ida-Nora.

'Westbound 54 from Blair Road.'

15 Mary 4, approaching Blair Road, will assist.

7 Adam, northbound from Canyon Drive.

Mary 3, eastbound on Canyon Road. I'll pick you up.

Bear, you just sit still, alright?

Don't move.

Alright, Bear, back it up easy!

'Come on!'

Okay, that's good!

Well..

thank you, guys.

But my pride's in shreds.

That character flat outclassed me.

Not the driver, Bear, the car.

Souped-up engine, custom suspension.

- A hill racer. - Yeah, that's a good guess.

Well, that would explain the Camaro.

Oh, yeah. I mean, it acted like a hill racer.

But who and why?

Can you handle it here?

I want to check something out.

- I'll call it in, Bear. - Alright.

15 Mary 3, code 4 on the pursuit

two miles north on Canyon Road.

15 Mary 3. Mary 4, do you copy?

10-4, Ponch.

I'm in the 23,000 block on Canyon Drive.

Think I got our red Camaro here parked at the house.

'How soon can you 11'

I can be there in ten. What's your plan?

'Go in on suspicion of hit and run.'

10-4, the only danger is we might spook him

and lose him on the smuggling rap.

Hold it.

I think there's a guy here that can help. Stand by.

Step in front of the truck, please.

Yeah, sure.

I don't, I-I-I don't understand this.

Wh

Nothing. No violation.

I just noticed your truck, Mr. Kelley.

That's right.

You cater, huh?

No, I deliver laundry.

What do you mean, do I cater?

Big party at the house you just left.

I do big ones and small ones.

What could you do for big ones, say, a couple of dozen people?

I handle that many for him every Monday.

'That's a small one. Big ones, I got a staff.'

Are you sure it was the same Camaro?

- We know it was.

Did you get the license number, or what?

Instinct, powers of observation

retention...all those good things.

Yeah, but you weren't quite sure enough

to knock at the door.

Look, Joe, if this is the guy

I don't like eating his dust on the beach

or his chicken hit and run on Toni and Sharon.

'And we want him for the big one.'

We don't want to blow our narcotics case.

Yournarcotics case?

I mean, every time I give you guys an inch

you take a country mile.

Would you get me Sergeant Duane Aikens

administrative narcotics, LAPD, please?

'Hold it, sarge.'

You're giving our lead to that snoop hound?

There is no copyright on this case.

'And you guys are not detectives, as Jon pointed out.'

Okay, as a matter of record, it's your lead.

- We did!

And not just because you happened to be

on the coastline beat, huh?

- But, Joe-- - But, Jon.

Look, what we do internally is our business

just as long as it's not illegal, immoral, or fattening.

'On the inter-service level'

I play it straight and proper, and you know it.

Well, Aikens will muscle in.

So, you guys got one step ahead of him already.

Yeah. Thank you.

Aikens, this is Getraer.

Look, I got some good news for you, and some bad news.

And the bad news is that my guys brought in the good news.

Psst!

Meet me, this address, 8 o'clock tonight.

Shh!

Harlan!

Hey, Harlan?

Harlan?

Hi.

What's this all about?

Well, you were asking about hill racers.

I asked if you could make a hill racer out of my firebird.

Impossible.

Well, not impossible, impractical.

Harlan, look, we think we're up against a guy that drives one.

Now, he got away from us once.

If he tries again, we'd like a chance

to catch up with him.

Alright. Just step this way.

- That's a beauty, Harlan.

Yeah. Now these are powerful, costly machines.

And their owners meet like a secret society

just for the thrill of competition.

They're elusive, mysterious people.

- Me.

- You! - You!

Shh!

Harlan, if we use it, it's official.

'I mean, with permission and approval.'

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, how long would it take

you to install lights

a siren, and radio?

Oh, I could have it ready for you by Sunday.

We'll ask Getraer. We might need it by Monday.

- Let me put this over here. - Okay.

Um...uh...I-I don't mean to alarm anybody, shark!!

Oh, Willie!

It's got a name?

Okay, Willie, knock it off!

'That thing started out life as a sailboat'

but Willie likes this better.

He's a prankster.

You don't say.

- This is a cage.

For protection, you know, against sharks.

I use it when I'm photographing in dangerous waters.

For protection? The top is open.

'That's alright. A shark won't dive in.'

They only attack head-on.

Right.

Actually, all kelp or seaweed is one of seven forms of algae.

Right now, I'm working with

'the phaeophyta and the giant macrocystis.'

'I'm trying to breed in some of the better qualities'

'of Irish red, it's a lot richer.'

Didn't they used to use kelp for making soap?

Right, for the alkali.

But now there are cheaper sources.

Jon, Bear, try this salad.

Fantastic, Sharon. It's delicious.

Mmm. What's in it?

Mostly...seaweed.

Ponch, you can have mine. I'll take your burger.

Whoa! Look at this.

Boy, am I glad we got wheels that can move.

Yeah. If there's any action, every car here is a getaway car.

Alright. Let's get on with it.

Ponch.

Where the heck have you guys been?

Maybe we got lost at sea after you got the delivery loused up.

Hey, I'm sorry.

I never saw scuba divers in that lagoon before.

It shouldn't take you guys three days to get here.

Hey, man, you're lucky we got here at all.

I don't pay for luck and I don't need your lip.

I paid for delivery...from you..

...or I go somewhere else.

You get this for an extra two grand.

That's what I had to lay out to get it here.

Okay, fine...this time.

Wednesday night, we meet at Dead Man's Cove..

...and you be there.

Hey, Balinese!

Somebody's coming.

Well, there. Hi.

- I'm Rodney Cameron. - Hi, Rodney. Nice party.

Do I know you?

Oh, I'm Jon. This is Frank.

We're Debbie and Julie's friends from Cleveland.

Who are Debbie and Julie?

Uh, well, Julie's kind of..

Well, they're both kind of tall.

'Back home, they think they're sisters'

but actually they're cousins.

They're...they're nieces of Mr. Simpson's.

Who's Mr. Simpson?

He's their uncle.

Is that anybody you know?

A Mr. Simpson? No.

W-when we meet him, we'll introduce you.

Yeah. He'll show up. He's bringing Julie and Debbie.

It's his party.

Wrong. It's my party.

Oh! Mr. Simpson's house?

That's California for you, huh?

Yeah, and this is my house.

I think you fellows made a mistake.

Oh, well, uh, let me see. I got it right here.

We came right to this address..

"23910 Canyon Lane, Pacific Palisades."

- That's us. - Right there.

Well, this is Canyon Drive in Malibu.

You're at the wrong address.

This is, um.. This is embarrassing.

Nice party, though.

Our girls are at the other one.

Well, we better get going then.

Yeah. Look, I'm really sorry. Excuse me.

I told him to look at the map.

He's always trying to take a shortcut.

Bye.

Check 'em out.

See where they go.

I think we picked up a watchdog.

Hey, which way to Pacific Palisades?

It's the other way, turkey.

Lost him.

Maybe that'll convince him.

It convinced me.

If you need speed, this baby flies.

Oh-ho, Harlan, you devil.

Oh, you guys are beautiful.

Things are really looking up.

First you bring me nothing.

Now you bring me pictures of nothing.

Party guests, license plates.

J. Rodney Cameron III.

Oh, yeah, I get an emotional tug from this.

But I don't get any closer to smuggling or narcotics.

You can put a tail on Cameron.

That might lead to something.

No, he's outside my jurisdiction.

Maybe I can get the sheriff to cooperate.

I could also get busted back to blue suits

for trusting you two hotshots.

Well, you're young. You could take up knitting.

Alright, may I suggest that we take our newfound understanding

to the briefing room?

Come on.

Alright. You want to settle down, please?

I want you to give your attention up here

to Sergeant Aikens.

Okay, who has the coastline beat?

Uh, Bonnie, Grossman, I'm putting you out there, too.

Alright, you five are particularly involved in this

but I want you to know it's an inter-agency operation.

It concerns us all.

And we have a suspect, J. Rodney Cameron

who may be a major narcotics dealer.

Photographs are available in my office.

From photographic evidence we know that

there were four known traffickers and dealers

and possibly a couple of couriers

at a party he gave last night.

'Now if you spot him, do not..'

'I repeat, do not alert the man.'

Advise Getraer, and he'll notify me.

Now we have reason to believe that his stuff

is delivered ship-to-shore, brought in by boat.

A cabin cruiser.

- Yellow and white. - Smallish.

Now you have a description of the suspect's red Camaro.

But remember at all times that we've got to catch him dirty.

Preserve the chain of evidence.

' - Yes, sergeant.

Is there anyone you wish to thank for their work

on this case?

No, I was just acting on key information

provided by officers Baker and Poncherello.

'I expect that some day they'll get around'

to thanking me for following through.

Alright, shoreline detail, front and center.

The rest of you, chase 'em and face 'em.

LA 15, Mary 5

I got a visual with the 11-500 suspect vehicle.

Northbound coastal highway, one mile south of Blair Road.

'10-4, Mary 5.'

'Assisting units are on channel two.'

This is 7 David.

He just passed me at Luna Lane.

I've got him.

7

10-4, Jed.

I'm southbound

six miles north of Dead Man's Cove.

If I see him, I'll advise.

Mary 3 and 4, what's your 20?

'Mary 3 and 4 sitting at the 54 intersection.'

Coastline units, 7 David.

I lost him at Roger's Point.

He didn't pass me. This is the only place he could've turned.

Dead Man's Cove. This is the only way in.

Okay, block the entrance and inform Getraer.

Alright.

Mary 3 and 4. We have a visual on the 11-500 car.

It's parked. We will not go for the suspect.

We will observe. Stand by.

That's the signal to come in, right?

Yeah. I guess it's..

Hold it! There's cops on the hill!

- No.

They'll call the coast guard.

Put the dinghy over the side

and pull the plug.

He must have seen us.

Stay here and see what they do.

Coastline units, Mary 3

suspect vehicle is coming out hot.

They left the boat. It's sinking.

15, 7 Charles, in pursuit. Iroc Mustang.

'Northbound coastal road from Dead Man's Cove.'

'A red Camaro, 0-8-5, yellow-ida-north.'

We got the coast guard out and we can cover the beaches.

'Now, we can pick those two up from the boat.'

But if they sank the boat

I don't know what good it'll do us.

You can rest assured they left the stuff onboard.

I'll tell Sharon and Toni to get the boat ready.

- Meet me there. - Alright.

We saw the boat. We saw the guys.

You get the guys, we'll get the stuff.

Unbroken chain of evidence.

If the water hasn't destroyed the stuff

if it hasn't drifted off to Blue Hawaii

and if we can prove we didn't plant it.

And, lastly, if we can find the cockamamie boat.

It's a big ocean out there, you guys.

'10-4.'

10

Uh...10

Look, if I know Baker and Poncherello

they'll know where to find your cockamamie boat.

- Sharks! - Sharks!

The cage.

Bring them up.

We got him dirty!

Alright!!

Ahoy on shore. This is CHP Navy out here.

We've got the crook and we've got the evidence on him.

'Is there anything else you need?'

Well, what do you say now, sarge?

Whoopee. Let's throw a party.

J. Rodney Cameron has some very influential friends.

He'll probably spend 3 years in the slammer

and roll over on the rest of the gang.

Yeah. But when we left him, he wasn't singing.

Uh, but he was humming.

Aikens, why don't you try the salad? It's delicious.

What is it, kelp?

- Yeah. - Oh, yeah. I love it.

Figures.

Sergeant, what's going to happen

to those two guys who sunk the boat?

They belong to the feds. We don't need them.

Hey, Sharon.

These burgers are super. Did you make them?

No, they're Toni's invention.

Great, Toni. How'd you get that flavor?

Oh, it's a combination of things.

Mostly seaweed and shark meat.

Kidding, Ponch, just kidding.

Good.
