(Theme Music Playing)

- I didn't know
there were this many

jewelry stores west of Vegas.

- Sorry to run you
around like this,

but I just have to find the
right present for Uncle Pete!

I mean, 25 years as a cop
doesn't happen everyday, you know.

- For you, Jennifer, I'd
walk around the world.

But you're losing your
chauffer, after this stop,

I have to get back to roll call.

- Oh, isn't it super, Jim?
- Perfect!

- You do the engraving here?

- Oh, yes, we do.
- Good.

- And what would
you like on it, miss?

- Oh, to Uncle Pete, from Jen.

Happy 25!

- This will take about
20 minutes, will you wait?

- Mm-hmm!

- Hey, I gotta
split, sweetheart.

Here's enough money for a cab.

I'll check with you
later about the party.

- See ya, oh, and thanks again!

- Hey, I never could
resist a pretty face.

- Okay, everybody, freeze!

All right, pops, you got a
safe, you got no time, move it.

- It's on a time lock, it
only opens at 9:00 PM.

- See that?

Look at the wall,
see that little red dot?

Huh?

You sure you don't
want to open that safe?

- Come on, get moving.

Let's go, let's go!

Fill it up, fill it
up, hurry up!

The girl, she's
going for the alarm!

Let's get out of here.

4Adam30 and all
units in the vicinity.

A 211 at the jewelry
store, 2539 Palm Avenue.

Handle code two.

- 4Adam30, coming.

I thought you were out

painting the town
with a beautiful teen?

- No, not painting, shopping!

My legs.

Repeating, all units

in the vicinity, a 211 at
the Gold Store jewelry shop.

2539 Palm Avenue, code two.

- The Gold Store, I left
Jennifer there, let's move, c'mon!

- Let me by, please, move aside.

- They shot her,
not only did they

have to rob me, but they
shot this poor young girl!

- Jennifer?

- Hooker?

- Hang in there, baby.

- Jennifer?

- Take it easy,
Jim, she's still alive.

- Damn, I shouldn't
have left her.

I'm sorry, Jennifer, I'm sorry.

I'm gonna go with them,
somebody tell the Lieutenant.

- I'll tell him, Jim.

- Well, there was a tall
one, he was about 25.

Talked with a country
accent, he was young-ish.

The other one was harder
looking, and mean, and older.

- What about the clothes,
color of hair, eyes?

- I just don't remember.

My mind wasn't
functioning very well,

once that young one started
playing around with that gun!

I'll never forget that gun!

- Can you describe it?

- Well, I had never
seen anything like it.

A red light came out of
it, and then the bullets.

- The bullets hit every
time he put a red light on?

- It was weird, it
was like futuristic.

You know that
comic strip character,

the man with a ray
gun, what's his name?

- Jonny Starbuckle?

- Yeah, that's right,
Jonny Starbuckle.

Hey, you're Lisa
Temple, aren't you?

Is this gonna be on TV?

- If my editor thinks
it's a good enough story.

Well, what about
it, Hooker, is there

something to this red light
gun thing that I could run with?

- Lisa, you know the drill,

it's a hot crime scene,
question your witness,

get a statement later.

- This Jonny
Starbuckle gun, did it

really seem like
a ray gun to you?

- Lisa!

You and the other
people will get

Mr. Miller in a half an hour.

- If you do want to be
on the six o'clock news,

Mr. Miller, nobody can stop you

from stepping over
to my news van.

In other news, a young woman

is in critical
condition after being

shot in a jewelry store
robbery earlier today.

- Hey, that's us, turn it up.

- Our news beat reporter,
Lisa Temple, was on the scene.

I'm here at the Gold Store

jewelry shop, in the
western downtown district,

where two daring
thieves have taken

more than $20000
worth of jewelry,

and critically wounded a
young woman customer.

Now, one of the
suspects used a weapon

described by the store's owner

as being something
out of Jonny Starbuckle.

- Did you hear that,
Jonny Starbuckle.

I used to read about
him in comic books!

- News has learned
that the bandit's gun

projects a red light,
possibly a laser beam.

The gun then fires
a barrage of bullets,

wherever that
red light is aimed.

Witnesses say that this is a...

- What did you do that for, Roy?

- 'Cause I don't wanna hear
any more about that gun.

- Are you kidding, did
you hear what she said?

It got us $20000, cash.

- Man, that's insurance talking.

Be lucky if we get
five from a fence.

- I ain't never
been on TV before.

- Yeah, well, let's
make it the first time,

and the last, okay?

- I don't know about that.

I sort of like being
Jonny Starbuckle.

- How is she?
- Still critical.

- How's O'Brien taking it?

- Doing a lot of praying,
like the rest of us.

- Any luck with the store owner?

- I pressed him hard, and
he was still pretty vague.

- If you pressed
any harder, he would

have filed assault charges.

- I'm just so
teed off at myself,

leaving Jennifer there, I should

have waited to take her home.

- You had to do roll call,
you gave her taxi money.

- I don't know, then
why do I feel so lousy?

- Because you give a damn.

- How you doing?

- Feeling just this
side of helpless.

- How long has she been
in the operating room?

- Five hours.

I'm still trying to
reach her mother,

she's in Sacramento,
on business.

- All you can do is hang tight.

- That's what we say
to the other people.

It's not easy, following
your own advice.

Hey, that's your own
life, come on, take off.

- And do what?

Hang around Sherry's,
worrying about you, and Jennifer?

No, I'm not going anywhere.

That is out of Jonny Starbuckle.

- A Brachman 30?

- That's it.

- That's what they
used in the robbery?

- Has to be.

- Brachman 30.

It's the only machine gun
equipped with a laser aim.

- Where'd you get it?

- Army, fires 177
rounds, every six seconds.

So much it can
do, its sufficiency

is due to its being
able to stay on target,

and the full auto fire.

- That's what we're up against?

- That's it.

- Spooky, a guy can't miss.

All he has to do is put the red

dot on something
and pull the trigger.

Where would he get
a weapon like that?

- Thanks.

Jennifer took a turn for the
worse, about an hour ago.

She gave it all she had,
but she lost the fight.

25 years on the force,
and I haven't been

able to change one thing
out there on the streets.

- It's a treadmill, but we
can't stop fighting the battle.

- She was 17, her
whole life ahead of her.

I want them, Hooker,
and I want them bad.

- I'll get them, what about
you, how can we help you?

- I appreciate it,
but I can handle it.

I've gotta help my sister
make arrangements.

Look, I'm pulling you
out of the black and white.

Take Corrigan, Stacy,
whoever, and whatever you need.

- I'm sorry,
Lieutenant, really sorry.

Hey, I gotta split, sweetheart.

Here's enough money for a cab,

and I'll check with you
later about the party.

- See ya later, Jim,
oh, and thanks again!

Hey, I never could
resist a pretty face!

- Stacy has been
running down theft

reports of the last 90 days.

- Brachman 30 is not
something you pick off a shelf.

- Except for the army,
and certain prisons,

I can't think of any other
institutions that use it.

- Now, one's on the street.

Hooker!

- What have you got?

- A theft report
filed two weeks ago.

- Brachman 30.

- Stolen from the
Pack West Warehouse.

- Jennifer wanted O'Brien
to have that watch so much.

She wanted it to be just right.

If only I'd been there.
- And then what?

I could have done something.

- You don't know that.

- Don't worry about
it, it's not your problem.

- That's right, it's not my
problem, it's your problem.

I don't think
you're handling it.

- A girl's dead because of me.

- There's only one person
responsible for Jennifer's death,

that's the guy that
pulled the trigger.

- Yeah.

And I want him.

- Look, man, I played this
thing like a good citizen.

I reported being robbed
and filled out more

papers than a CPA in April,
so why am I being hassled?

- I don't know,
Mr. Turlo, I thought

we were asking you
some nice easy questions.

If you want to lodge
an official complaint...

- Forget it, man.

Like I was saying,
Pack West is mostly

into shipping appliances,
we don't get many jobs

involving firearms.

- The packing crate
with the Brachman 30

have any identifying
marks on it?

- I don't know, I
don't remember.

- What else was stolen?
- It's in the report.

Just the crate
containing the Brachman.

- As a point of
interest, Mr. Turlo,

the manufacturer tells
us that the Brachman

is shipped in an unmarked
crate, for security reasons.

- Makes sense.

- So somebody
passed up all these TVs,

and VCRs, and
machinery, for a single,

unmarked crate, with who
knows what inside, huh?

Hey, who do you think?

- Get him off of me!

- Well, I don't know,
what Officer Corrigan

says makes pretty
good sense to me.

You better be laying
it out straight, now.

- I am, I told you all I know.

- Then you have
nothing to worry about.

If you think of
anything else, call me.

- Don't count on it.

He's lying like a bad rookie.

- Maybe, but we
can prove it if he is.

- I'm gonna work
on that scuzzball.

- Hey, Jim, the reasons doctors

don't treat members
of their own family

is that they're too
close; that's why

O'Brien hasn't
touched this case.

Maybe you should stay away, too.

- Come on, Hooker, you
wouldn't do that to me.

- Maybe.

Not yet, I got an
idea I want to try first.

- Do you really
think this will work?

- Lisa's smart, but if she
shows, she'll swallow the bait.

- Why do I feel like I'm about
to consort with the enemy?

- What was the big emergency?

You want to give
me your favorite

lecture on journalistic ethics?

- Something better
than that, I got an

old-fashioned scoop
for you, interested?

- If you could be a
little more specific.

- Jonny Starbuckle.

- Jerry, get the
camera over here.

Police are still baffled
by the Jonny Starbuckle

jewelry store bandit,
who, yesterday,

killed 17 year old
Jennifer Smith.

With me now for a special report

is Sergeant TJ
Hooker, of the LCPD.

Sergeant Hooker, how
is the investigation going?

- Well, like all investigations,

it starts slowly, as we begin
to build our file of evidence.

Meanwhile, we're
baiting our trap.

- Baiting your trap, Sergeant?

- We're putting police officers

in jewelry stores
around the city.

- Does the police department
have enough officers

to stake out every jewelry
establishment in the city?

- Wish we had,
but, we're excluding

all of the wholesale outlets,
which are concentrated

inside a two square block
area, they have their own guards.

- So you don't
feel that the bandits

will strike in the
wholesale district?

- Well, you can't
rule anything out,

but these suspects
are really small time,

even with the special gun.

They'll most likely go
after the small businesses.

Hey, we'll show him, Roy.

- What are you talking about?

- You heard him, they're
only guarding the stores.

Not the wholesale
outlets, we'll turn

ol' Jonny Starbuckle
loose on one of them, right?

- It's been two days, Hooker.

What if the killers can't
stomach Lisa Temple either?

- Why are they putting
all our aides in this area?

- This two block area contains

practically every wholesaler
south of San Francisco.

- What if they stick with
the mom and pop stores?

- The chief is going
along with this stake,

after another 24
hours, let's stay

with it until then.

4Xray30, silent alarm

reported at J and D
Wholesale Company,

433 South Spring Street,
a possible 211 in progress.

- Let's roll.

Repeat, silent alarm,

at J and D Wholesale Company,
433 South Spring Street,

211 believed to be in progress.

- That's the wholesale
jewelry district.

Let's go!

- Bet you know what that
little red dot means, right?

- I saw it on TV.

- Then you get
yourself a whole slew

of brownie points for recognizing
who you're dealing with.

It's me, all right,
Jonny Starbuckle!

- Can it, man.

Open the safe, now.

- Takes a man to cover
the front, I'll cover the rear!

You men come with me!

- So that's why he
came on my program.

It was a setup all along.

J and D, end of the hall.

- What's your van doing here?

You men cover the garage.

It's Lisa Temple!

- Block off the alley.

- She's here, why not the cops?

This is a setup, come on.

- It's Jonny Starbuckle, ma'am!

- What's your real name, Jonny?

- Another time,
another place, ma'am!

- Lisa, what the hell
are you doing here?

- Mad at me, Hooker?

- Mad, I didn't know you
went in for understatement.

The killers got away, this
place looks like a war zone.

- I was just trying
to do my job.

- If we really
wanted to do our job,

we might press a couple
charges against you.

- And let a million
and a half viewers

wonder why you arrest me,
and can't catch Jonny Starbuckle?

- Jonny Starbuckle
would be in jail right now

if it wasn't for you.
- Really?

- Oh, tell me something,
why is it, whenever you cops

can't do your job, you
blame it on the press?

- Not the press, just those that

play fast and loose with
the privileges given them.

- I'm sorry, but I
have a job to do.

That means, sometimes,
we're gonna be adversaries.

- That's a nice
catchphrase, my adversaries

are out there on the
street, they kill people!

Like 17 year old girls.

- Hot off the press.

- The lists you
asked for, Hooker,

of all discharged army persons

who had access
to the Brachman 30.

- Contact Army CID and
have them checked out.

What about prison guards?

- The names of 37
guards who have left

the penal system, or have
been fired, in the last 12 months.

There's nothing
unusual in any of the files.

- These are pretty good,
see if you can match these.

It's a list of names
that Jim has.

Show them to every
store that sells ammunition.

- Anyone who shoots
a weapon that fires

177 rounds in six seconds
has got to be a volume buyer.

- You got it.

- The computer also shows Turlo,

the manager of Pack West,
where the gun was stolen?

He's an ex-con.

- Well, that's interesting.

He could know a
lot of people in prison

who had seen the Brachman 30.

- You read my mind.

- Looks like he's not too
happy to see us again.

Turlo!

- What are you harassing me for?

- Lots of practice.
- How about forgetfulness?

- What?

- You forgot to tell
me you pulled time.

- So what, I'm clean now!

- The Brachman 30, Mr. Turlo.

Whoever stole it had
help from the inside.

- And you're the only
inside man here, or are you?

- Look, okay, I'm an ex
con, and I know what it's like.

So, when I can, I
hire other ex-cons!

I try to give them a break!

- Names, I want names.

Give them to me or I'll let
Officer Corrigan take over.

- Okay, okay.

- Just like you said, Roy,
no more pinching pennies.

No more doing without.

Buy whatever I want, and
never even look at the price tag.

- Yeah, you're a
regular American

success story,
all right, Harlan.

- And when you think,
I was keeping cons

like you in line for
the last five years.

All that time I had $225 saved.

What do you think, Roy?

- All you need to do now
is shave part of your head,

and color the rest of it purple.

- Hello.

It's your friend
from Cell Block Six.

- Turlo, what's up?

- Been trying to get you for
the last couple of hours, man.

The cops have been
down here to see me.

- What about?

- I had to give them
a list of the ex-cons

working here when
the gun was stolen.

- You gave them my name?

Okay, I'll keep in touch.

Cops just got my name.

Won't take them long
to find this address.

Time to split.

- No way, Jonny
Starbuckle don't split

when he's in the
middle of a streak.

- Yeah, you wanna
stick around here,

play kid games, get
yourself killed, fine.

Me, I am history.

Hey, quit clowning around.

- What's come over you, Roy?

All that time I was
a prison guard,

I knew I was gonna have to
find a better paying business.

And all the while I
kept an eye on you,

because you had guts!

You're flaking out on me, Roy.

- I was just kidding.

Harlan, I'm still with you.

- You still with old Jonny?

- Come on man, that
thing's got a hair trigger!

- You haven't answered me!

- Yeah, yeah, I'm still
with you, Jonny Starbuckle.

- You know, she's looking
out for me, you know that Roy?

I bet Lisa Temple is just
dying for me to take her

in my arms and show her
what paradise is all about.

Zap!

- The names Turlo
gave us, anything new?

- All of the ex-cons who worked

at the warehouse are
clean, except for one.

- Name?
- Roy Mead.

- Someone think he's gone dirty?

- His parole officer isn't sure,

but he thinks
Mead looks too high

on the hog for someone
who doesn't have a steady job.

- TO have an address?

- Yeah, the Belmont
Hotel, 2800 Alvarado.

- Let's go.

- Hey, Jim, this
isn't a code three.

Look, I know you're
anxious, and that

every new lead gets
you that much closer

to nailing these guys.
- You got that right.

We can't make this
a personal crusade.

- Why can't I?

- It's just that I'm
worried about you, okay?

- I can't get Jenny
out of my mind.

I keep seeing this
picture of her being

blown away.

- Mr. Mead, Mr. Mead, it's the
police, we wanna talk to you.

- They left in a hurry.

- Turlo probably
tipped them off.

- Hooker?

- Manager said the
roommate matches

the composite of the one
with the Southern accent.

- KSBZ, newsroom.

- What is it?

- I think it's a safe bet to say

that Mr. Mead's
roommate would turn out

to be Jonny Starbuckle.

- How do you think of that?

- This telephone number,
it's to the newsroom, KSBZ TV.

- Yes?

He said his name was Jonny?

Put him on.

Hello, this is Lisa Temple.

- Ms. Temple?

Sure hope I didn't scare
you back at that jewelry place.

- Jonny Starbuckle?

Yes ma'am, live and in person.

I just called to
thank you for helping

when those cops almost
canceled my reservations.

- Oh, you have to
understand, I was

just following a
news story, that's all.

- But why you were doing it?

You were telling folks
that Jonny Starbuckle

ain't somebody to mess with.

You got 'em real
scared of me, ma'am.

- Shouldn't they be?

- Oh, yeah, mm-hmm,
I'm a menace, all right.

But you playing me
up like you been doing,

I wanna thank you for that.

- Why don't you come
down to the studio

and let me interview
you on camera?

Yeah, you putting
ol' Jonny on, right?

But I fell for you just like
you fell for me, ma'am.

- And how is that?

Aw, heck, you know,

I'm gonna do something
real big for you, you'll see.

- Like what?

I'll let you know real soon.

I'm looking forward to
meeting you, in person.

Bye now.

Jennifer Smith,
niece of Lieutenant

Pete O'Brien, of the LCPD,
is being buried here today.

Police are no closer
now to apprehending

the elusive Jonny
Starbuckle than they were

in the beginning;
however, I have been

in contact with someone
close to the suspect.

And I expect an
exclusive interview

with Jonny Starbuckle
sometime very soon.

This is Lisa Temple, at
Riverview Memorial Park.

Let's get some interviews
for the six o'clock, Jerry.

Uh-oh, here comes sunshine.

- My condolences, Lieutenant.

Would you mind
answering a few questions?

- I'm sorry, I have no time.

- Lieutenant, do you
think you can maintain

the proper objectivity in
helping to solve this case,

insomuch as the
victim was your niece?

- I believe he
said another time.

Besides, there's questions
I've been holding for you.

- You're interfering
with my job, Hooker.

Do I need to call a cop?

- Found a very interesting
telephone number,

in the hotel room that your pal,

Jonny Starbuckle, just vacated.

He's not my pal, what number?

- Yours, or just your
newsroom, is that close enough?

- Well, a lot of people
call the newsroom,

Hooker, but mostly to
ask about the weather.

- We could bring
you up before a judge

on this one, Lisa, what
are you gonna tell them?

That Starbuckle
called asking about

thermals over the high desert?

- Look, I have First
Amendment rights, here,

I don't have to
tell you anything!

- The jury's still
out on how far

you can push those
rights in that direction.

- What about Jennifer's rights?

She's dead and you're
ready to party with her killer?

- Oh, that's a cheap shot.

- I could say you
wrote the book.

- Oh, but you won't,
because you know it's not true.

Damn it, Hooker, I'm
just trying to do my job,

just like you, I can't help it

if we're on different
sides of the fence!

- We could debate
that for a week!

- I'm ready whenever you are.

- I'm sure you are.

- What are we
gonna do about her?

- The lady's gonna help
us, without her knowing it.

Hello, this is Lisa Temple.

Hello, Lisa, Jonny
Starbuckle again.

- I'd still like to
get that interview

with you, Jonny, you
don't have to come here.

I'll come to you.

- I got something for you,
better than an interview.

I got something that's
gonna make your show

be watched by
everybody in the country.

- I'm listening.

You know I think
about you, Lisa.

I think about you all the time.

- Harlan, what's keeping you?

- I gotta go, but look,
the Excelsior Hotel,

the first side room,
be there in 15 minutes,

and get yourself the
story of the century.

Bye baby.

- Here she comes, in a hurry.

- 4XRay16, patch
me through to 30.

4XRay30, meet
4XRay16, on track two.

What have you got, Stacy?

- Lisa Temple and her crew
just pulled out of the studio.

- Keep me informed.
- Roger.

- Let's hope Hooker's right.

- He seems to know this
particular lady's moves pretty well.

The Excelsior Hotel Hooker,
could be what we're looking for.

The sign says they're having

a million dollar
diamond auction.

I'm rolling.

4XRay30, I'm gonna need backup.

Three units, for a possible
211 at the Excelsior Hotel.

Advise all units to approach
with extreme caution.

- Do you mind?

- Me, no, but Hooker does.

- You can't keep me out.

- We're trying to keep
you from getting hurt.

- Jennifer Smith died to
make you and Jonny famous.

Go on, Ms. Temple, live it up.

- Look, there's something
I want to tell you.

- What's up on the mezzanine?

- Now, a hotel like this ain't
gonna be too good for B-roll.

I'm about to sell
the whole bullet.

- Have a look around, the
back door takes two men!

Cover the alleyways!

Men with rifles, one
there, and one there,

in case they reach the street!

You want to listen to
what I have in mind?

- Try me, Hooker.

And, now, ladies and gentlemen,

a flawless diamond that was once

owned by the Queen
of Luxembourg.

I'll open the
bidding at $300000.

I have $30000,
do I hear $350000?

I have $350000,
do I hear $400000?

- You hear that?

- Ol' Jonnyboy is gonna
make history, today!

Son of a gun, she did come!

- Guy in the black jacket.

- Where those two corners meet,

when we get there,
get out of the way.

- You told her about this?

You out of your skull, man?

Remember the
last time, the cops?

We gotta get out of here.

- No, it's all right, we don't,

all she's gonna
do is take pictures.

- That cameraman
she's with, that's the cop

we saw her with on TV.

- Look out!

- Know who you're
up against, cop?

This is Jonny Starbuckle
and his ray gun!

How about that, Jonny, which one

of these red dots is yours?

- There's only one red
spot left, you're wearing it.

Give me an excuse!

- In a way, it was kind of hard

being off the job for a week,

but it gave me a chance
to say goodbye to Jennifer.

How about you, Jim,
you feeling any better?

- It's been rough.

It was just great
knowing Jennifer.

- She was a really sweet girl,

she left us all
something to remember.

- Well-put, Stacy, let's
just leave it that way.

Harlan Walker, known as

the Jonny Starbuckle
Bandit, was shaken,

as he and his
partner-in-crime, Roy Mead,

were booked today
for first-degree murder.

The man with the futuristic gun

has his own future very
much in doubt tonight.

And if proven guilty,
that's the way it should be.

I'm Lisa Temple,
KSBZ News, goodnight.

- Is it my imagination, or
has she mellowed a little?

- Oh, don't let her fool you.

I mean, she
cooperated, sure, but wait

'til the next big story breaks.

- I think you're being
a little rough on her.

- Don't worry about it,
Hooker's going to mellow

a little bit himself,
Saturday night.

It's when he's taking
her out to dinner!

- That's right!

- How'd you know?

- There's very
little we don't know.

- Oh, don't let it get to
you, I mean, come on.

By the time we get to the salad,

we'll be at each
other's throats.

What are you laughing at?
