03x20 - To Protect and Serve: Part 2

[bunniefuu]

Lianne, you all right?

What were you doing
in my trailer?

Boy, you're the one
that's in trouble, Rockford.

Listen, I'm not
fooling around with you
anymore.

I have some
very important information
about M.K.

You know, Rockford,
you didn't do
what I told you to do,

you failed.

Did he bring the girl
over to Kelly's?
Answer me.

Where are they?

The way I read Michael,
and the situation,

if he gets you back,
he plans to k*ll you.

[PHONE RINGING]

ROCKFORD
ON ANSWERING MACHINE..
This is Jim Rockford.

At the tone, leave your name
and message.

I'll get back to you.

[BEEPS]

WOMAN ON PHONE..
This is incredible.

Do you know, last night,
I had one of my dreams?

I dreamed that if
I called you,
you wouldn't be home.

And you're not.

[PHONE RINGING]

Yeah?

Michael Kelly,
Mr. Rockford.

Where do we stand?

I think we should talk.
Just you and me.

Dorsey, Mr. Rockford here
works for me
and he wants to quit.

Oh, well,
what's another 24 hours
in a whole lifetime, huh?

All right,
now don't lie
to me, doll.

You know where
Patsy is?
No.

Okay, okay.
Your policewoman friend.

She popped up
at my trailer
at the cr*ck of dawn.

Lianne?
She's not a policewoman.

She's a buff.

Just what is a buff?

Buff?

Well, it's a citizen
who is fascinated
by police work.

They like to spend time
around the station house,

get to know the fellas,
sort of hang out.

Dennis, that's not a buff.
That's a groupie.

Hey, who's that
that just walked into
the sh**ting review?

Oh, Lieutenant Chapman,
ma'am.

Lieutenant, huh?

Anyone ever mention
he looks a little bit
like Kirk Douglas?

What do you
know about this
Michael Kelly thing?

Well, I know, for instance,

that Kelly's
supposed to be here

on some kind of
missing persons problem.

Allegedly.

Who is this missing person
supposed to be?

Doug, I don't know.

But I could pursue it
on my end.

Miss Sweeney,
thank you for
the information.

But I have to caution you
against actively
inserting yourself

in department business.

I understand, Doug.

I just want to help you
in any way I can.
That's all.

Well, you did
get one call.
A Mr. Kelly.

I told him two hours ago
I'm not making much progress.

He said it was about
a Miss Patsy Fossler.

Is that the missing person?

Yeah.

I'm sorry, but I don't know
what I can do to help you.

Well, we can start
by you telling me

all you know
about Michael Kelly.

Come on.

[DOGS BARKING]

Patsy, just who
are those two?

Well, I don't know
the driver of the car,

but I've seen
the other man before.

His name is Anthony Boy.

He works for Joseph Minette.

Of the Minette Family?
The boss of bosses?

Yeah.

Well, Michael is
Mr. Minette's attorney.
Didn't you know that?

Michael pulled a real gaffe

by telling you
family business.

Now that you've left Michael,

Minette can't have you
running around
the world loose

knowing what you know.

Hey, Syl. I'm gonna have
my day with Rockford.

Now, that's not
a smart hit.

That's not what
we're getting paid for.

[HORSES WHINNYING]

Yeah, that's it.

Your home
for the next few days.

God, I don't have a dime
to my name, I don't even
have any shoes.

I'm half-nude.
How am I gonna survive?

ROCKFORD: Wes? Hey, Wes.

Oh, hey, Wes.

Wes Wesley,
this is Patsy Fossler.

Well, come on
aboard, honey.

Give her a hand, Wes.

Got a bunk all made up
for you below.

You go right past
the first-class pool

and hang a left
when you see
the chemin de fer table.

[LAUGHING]

Well, I certainly want to
thank you for what
you're doing, Mr. Wesley.

No trouble at all, honey.

I owe Jimmy here
some real big ones

from when we was
in stir together.

Hey, Jim, did you ever tell
your girlfriend here

about the time you made all
the toilets overflow

so the guards
wouldn't notice I was missing
from laundry detail.

Wes, Wes, she's not
my girlfriend,
and no, I haven't.

Mighty skinny,
twice as snooty.

Still...
Wes, I'm warning you,

any funny business
and I get Rocky down here
to baby-sit.

Yeah, yeah.

You said, a place
where no one would find me.

But this is overkill.

Yeah, well,
If everything goes all right,

it'll only be
for a couple of days.

What's your brother's
phone number in London?

Well, it was
Bayswater 458.
But he moves around a lot.

Yeah, well, I'll try
to get hold of him.

And once
he sends the plane fare,

we'll get you
a replacement passport
and that's that.

What about you?

How are you going
to move around
back in Los Angeles

without those men
finding you?

I want them to find me.

What?

Well, yeah, at the right time,
when I'm properly prepared.

Look, I'm in this thing
up to my chin.

They're never gonna stop
looking for you,

so they're gonna keep
dogging me

till they get what they want.

If I plan to lead
any kind of normal life,

I'm gonna have to have to
blown 'em off.

Well, how are you
gonna do that?

Well, the last time
they saw us,

I was driving you off
in my car.

Now, they know I was hired
to deliver you to Michael.

So, I just have
to convince them

that that's exactly
what I did.

From then on,
they're Michael's problem.

And you're sure
it's going to work out
that way?

No.

Look, here's some money.

Get yourself some shoes
and a toothbrush.

But don't you go.
You let Wes go.
You stay here.

Swell, now I've even
got to borrow money.

I used to have
an eight dollar toothbrush.

Genuine boar bristle,
made in France.

That's the way it goes.

Hey, wait a minute.

Look, maybe I should
just go back.

Why? Because the boat
smells too much like fish?

No.

Because this whole thing
is just impossible.

I mean, what am I gonna do?

Spend the rest of my life
looking over my shoulder,

waiting for someone
to jump out at me?

If I go back,
maybe Michael can
convince Minette

that he has
nothing to fear from me.

Yeah, well, I've been
giving it some thought, Patsy,

and I'm not altogether sure
that Michael wants you back.

After all the trouble
he's gone to find me?

Yeah, well, Michael
strikes me as a guy

with a few bigger problems
than just a rocky love life.

I mean, he made
a big mistake with you.

If he plans to set it right,

he's going to have to
re-prove himself to Minette.

Clean up the mess he made.

The way I read Michael,
and the situation,

if he gets you back,
he plans to k*ll you.

So I wouldn't worry too much
about an eight dollar
toothbrush.

I'd just be happy
I've still got my teeth.

[POLICE RADIO CHATTERING]



Oh, it's that P.I., Rockford.

Mr. Rockford, come in.

Oh, Lena, I'll take
a slice of melon

and one egg
scrambled firm, please.

All right, what did
these two men look like?

I explained all that
the last time I was here.

They're the same ones
who creamed me at my trailer.

You know what they look like,
and you know who they are.

So stop spinning your wheels
on that score, huh?

KELLY: Did you
hear their names?

ROCKFORD: There was
g*nf*re, Mr. Kelly.
I wasn't taking notes.

One of them was thin,
dark hair,

kind of b*rned out
behind the eyes.

His partner was fat
and balding.

Did they hurt her?

As if you care.

I do. I care very much.
Now just answer the question.

I didn't see them
hurt her, no.

They shoved her
in the car and took off.

There wasn't anything
I could do about it.

Now, who are those men,
Mr. Kelly?

KELLY: I can't believe
this has happened.

If you hadn't been
dragging your feet
these last couple of days,

it might not have.

You know, Rockford,
you didn't do
what I told you to do.

You failed.

Hey, do you think
I wanted to come back here
and report this to you?

You explained very well
what was going to happen to me

if I didn't find
your girlfriend.

You had me
very well motivated.

But, I got there
a few minutes too late.

I don't know
how they found her.

You never had
much taste for this job.

Could it be that this
whole scenario

was something that
you cooked up
to get out of it?

If I wanted to get out of it,
I wouldn't cook up
any scenarios,

I'd just leave town.

I can travel pretty light
when I have to.

I think we're gonna
have to have

a little fact-finding
session. Oh.

[GRUNTING]

You know something, pal,

I've just about had it
with you and Quasimodo
over here.

I just about got my head
taken off, you know,

doing your lousy job for you.

Patsy has been kidnapped.

There's nothing
you or I can do about it.

It's in the hands
of the police, now.

You reported it to them?

Oh, yeah, on a kidnapping?
You bet I did.

I got my license
to worry about.

I'm surprised
they haven't contacted you.

But then,
that's their little problem,
isn't it?

Did you mention my name?

Oh, yeah, and now it's payday.

You owe me for
three days work,
that's $600.

Plus $400 for expenses
and aggravation.

Will you take
a personal check?

I'm gonna give you
the benefit of the doubt

and assume that you're making
a little joke just
to ease the tension.

Okay, okay, I'll get the cash.

I knew you would.

If anyone should call
or come to the house,
I don't care who,

tell them I've moved,
you don't know where.

Pack my things immediately,
I'm flying the hell
out of here.

Yes, operator,

yeah, this is James Rockford
on my call to London.

To Bayswater 458,
Mr. John Fossler.

Yeah, I'll wait, yes.

You figure her boyfriend
really believed you?

Do you think he's really
gonna leave town?

Kelly seemed like his pants
were on fire.

As far as he knows,
he's got the cops to
worry about on the one hand,

and a very angry Joe Minette
on the other.

Supposing he finds out
you've been spinning him
a tale?

Supposing he finds out
Minette's g*ons never really
did get Patsy?

I don't think
he'll find out, Dad.

At least, not for a while,
anyway.

The guy has made
some colossal blunders.

One being that he flubbed
his attempt to cover up
his own mess.

He'll go under

until he figures
the ll Capo's anger
has d*ed down.

Yes, operator.

Mmm-hmm. Yes.

Thank you, thank you.
I'd appreciate that.

Still no answer, huh?
No.

I'll go back over
to Kelly's place later,

and see if he really
did leave town.

Then I gotta do my
little act for Anthony Boy
and his friend.

What for?
I mean, the whole thing
is timing.

When one thing isn't
in motion,

the other doesn't work.

Well, I'd go to the police,
that's what I'd do.

We got the finest police force
in the United States
of America.

I tell you something else too,
they ain't afraid
of no Joe Minette.

[PHONE RINGS]

Hello? Yes.
Yeah, he's here, hold on.

Hey, Jim, Jim,
it's your London call.

I think they got the guy.

Hello, this is Jim Rockford.

WOMAN OPERATOR..
Yes, sir, we have
your party on the line.

MAN.. Hello?

John Fossler?

Yes.

My name's Jim Rockford.

I'm a private investigator
in Los Angeles,

I'm calling on behalf
of your sister, Patsy.

Private investigator?

Is something wrong?
Is Patsy in trouble?

No, she's all right
at the moment,

but, yes, she is in trouble.

How much do you know about
your sister's personal life

the past few years?

I'm referring
to Michael Kelly.

Yes, she, she wrote me
all about him.

I know that they've been
living together,
if that's what you mean.

I think he's an attorney
for the ACLU, right?

Mr. Fossler,
if your liquor cabinet
is handy,

I suggest that you
pour yourself a drink.

ROCKFORD:
I'll stay in touch, Dad.

Jimmy.
You scared me too there
for a minute.

When I heard the car,
I thought it might be them
Brooklynites

you told me about.

How're things
going, Wes?

You mean with
the Queen of Sheba?

I guess I got my answer.

She sat around all day.

When she wasn't sleeping,
she was moping.

When she wasn't moping,
she was on my back.

Tells me I'm a sadist
because I hit Flo
when she was bugging me.

Imagine, a total stranger
coming into your home
and telling you

how you ought to handle things
between you and your cat.

I'm sorry, Wes.

I didn't know
I was saddling you
with a baby.

I finally had to
come out on the deck
and get some fresh air.

I've had about all
I can stand.

Now, don't you start
on me too.

This is a fishing boat.

She wanted me to go out
and get a spritz can

of pine stuff
for her blankets.

[MUMBLING]

I told her, use a clothespin.

It's not the fish, Wes,
it's something else.

It smells like rotting lilacs.

Wes? Are you wearing cologne?

It ain't cologne,
it's after-shave.

You've combed your hair.

Hey, you're wearing
a clean shirt.

Get off my back.

ROCKFORD: Patsy,
I contacted your brother.

He'll be expecting you
as soon as we firm up
our plans here.

Well, when will that be?

Well, he said he'd cable
the plane fare.

And if we move around
money tomorrow,

we could make
the flight reservations
tonight,

and when the cable arrives,
we can hit
the State Department

for a passport replacement

right to the airport.

PATSY: And the guys
that were chasing us
around the barnyard?

I'll try my scam on them
in the morning.

We'll see if that floats.

Did you see Michael?

Yeah, I tried my little con
on him.

I dropped by his place
on the way over here.

He was gone.

Well,

doesn't necessarily mean
he was just out here

to track me down and k*ll me.

Yeah, then why'd he do
a fast fade

when he thought
you were already dead?

Maybe he didn't.
Maybe he just moved.

He does have
his own circle of friends
out here.

Yeah, I know.
I saw one of them.

Was Michael staying
in Bel-Air?

Yeah, Stone Canyon Road.

Jennifer Gillespie.
So he's rekindled that.

Back in New York,
he used to laugh about her.

Why don't you taste
one of these?
See if it's any good.

Yeah.

What a mess.

Hey.

Hey, come on now.

I mean, you left him.
I didn't know you still cared.

Oh, I don't.

I don't know.

Maybe it was
just my fantasy.

Maybe I just thought
Michael would come after me
and beg me to come back.

Now, well, he came after me.

To k*ll me.

I don't believe it.

Thanks for the lift, chief.
Watch out for Smokey.

WOMAN ON RADIO..
One-Adam-eleven,

Have you made visual contact
with the suspect?

MAN ON RADIO.. Roger,
we have them in sight.

They're moving on foot
southbound on Devonshire
toward Morrison.

One-Adam-eleven, roger,
back up units are enroute.

[PHONE RINGS]

RobberyIHomicide,
Officer Mazursky speaking.

I asked for
Lieutenant Chapman's office.

He's not here, ma'am.
They switched you over.
Can I help you?

I hope so.
I wonder, could you let me
have Doug's home number?

No, I couldn't do that, ma'am.
I'm sorry.

There's nothing
to worry about.

Doug and I
are very good friends.

Then I gotta assume
you already have his number.

My address book
was stolen from my car.

Doug and I are very close.

He's not going to be happy
when he hears
about your attitude.

Mazursky, was it?

That's right, ma'am.
Mazursky. With a Z.

Ma'am, even if I gave you
his number,

it wouldn't do you any good.

Now, he's in San Francisco
till tomorrow night
on an extradite.

He'll be calling in later.
I'll be glad
to take a message.

Get a pencil.

I have one, ma'am.
In my hand.

All right, now take this down
very carefully.

Tell him
that Lianne Sweeney called.

I have some very important
information about M.K.

Doug'll know
who I'm referring to.

I know why he's in L.A.
It looks like there's gonna be
a hit.

I don't have all the pieces

but I'm gonna
continue to investigate
on my own.

There may be
quite a lot more.

I'll contact him
as soon as possible

or he can reach me
at home anytime.
I have a service.

Look, ma'am, is this something

you might want to talk to
somebody else in
the department about?

Oh, no, no, no.

This is a semi-personal thing
Doug and I
have been following.

Now have you got it straight?

Yup.

Read it back to me.

''Lianne Sweeney called.
Very important information
about M.K. ''

Patsy?
Oh.

Oh, it's you. Hi.

Hi.

Was just giving Wes's cat
a little air.

Honestly, she's as bad
as her owner.

Wonder when the last time
she was brushed.

Well, Wes and that cat
been together a long time.

I like cats.

But back in Manhattan,
I had a dog.

That was more important
to have back there.

Oh, yeah, walking the dog.
What you wore
when you walked the dog.

How you walked
the dog.

How you walked the dog?

Oh, sure.
You just didn't walk a dog.

You read
when you were walking.

Oh, sure,
that made it look like
you were busy and oblivious

to everything
that was going on.

Yeah, I used to read
Pauline Kael's film reviews

when I was
walking Psyche.

That was the dog's name,
Psyche.

Yeah, it is a pretty
dreadful name, isn't it?

Probably the worst name
I've ever heard for a dog,
yeah.

Now that you mention it,
it was all pretty dreadful.

It was all so phony.
Such a sham.

Everybody strikes a pose
now and then.

There's always reasons
to be a phony.

That's a strange thing to say.

Oh, yeah, there some reasons.

Some good, some not so good.

Oh, I suppose you would
inflict a name like Psyche
on a dog

and study French
just so you could use it
at cocktail parties, huh?

No. I never had
any reason to do that.

But I can give you
a good example.

Wes told you
I was in prison, right?

Mmm-mmm.

When I went into prison,
I was scared to death.

So, I decided I was
gonna be the baddest guy
in that whole place.

So I practiced my bad walk
and my bad talk.

No sentence was ever
more than one syllable.

Runnin'.

I'm bad, I'm real bad.

You?

Yeah, yeah.

I figured
if I was gonna survive,

I'd have to
impress everybody.

So, what happened?

I turned into a jerk.

[LAUGHING]

And then
that other thing happened.
You see, they...

They put a badder guy
in C Block with me

and he had me for breakfast.

The point being
that everybody's gotta be
somewhere.

Get in over our heads,
we have a tendency to act.

Oh.

Well, my act
was being paid for
by mob money.

And that's a sham.

Well, it's almost over now.
So you can forget it.

No, it's not that easy.

It was a crummy thing to do.

And what's even crummier
is I just stuck with it.

Well, you're taking your lumps
for it.

Aren't you in enough of a mess

without creating one
in your own mind?

You know, I've never even
said thank you
for what you're doing.

Might get a little
crazy tomorrow,

I might not have time.

Thank you.
Forget it.

Like I said, it's a matter
of my own survival too.

How did a guy like you
end up to be
a private investigator?

Patsy, you're a snob.

Hey, come on now,
I'm just teasing.

I know what you meant by that.

If something don't pop soon,

we're gonna be in a lot
of trouble with back home.

Listen to him.

We're already in
a lot of trouble back home,
Syl.

It should've been
a one day job.
In, out, bim, boom.

Hey, Tony.

Probably the cleaning lady,
huh?

Hello.

Yes?

We're looking for
Mr. Rockford. Could you
tell us where we can find him?

May I ask the nature
of your inquiry?

Yeah, we're friends
of his.

Yeah, business associates.

Clients.

Well, he's out on a case
right now.

What case is he on?
I mean, he could be
working on our case.

Maybe if you told me
what your case is.

Well, that's kind of
difficult to explain,

but, look,
while you were cleaning up,

did you come across
any information

pertaining to Michael Kelly?

He's a business associate
of ours.

Yeah, our friend.

You're associates
of Mr. Kelly?

Sure. From New York.

And his lady friend,
Miss Fossler.

Well, as a matter of fact,
I am not Jim's cleaning lady.

I am his executive assistant.

I'd been out of town
on another matter

and Jim was going
to fill me in
on this Kelly thing

when I got back.

Maybe you could
bring me up to date?

On what?

Michael Kelly, the girl,
anything.

Why don't you
just start from the beginning?

Because what I have
is very sketchy.

Jimbo and I
just talked very briefly
on the phone.

What did he say
on the phone?

Well, as I...

[STAMMERING]

Did he bring the girl
over to Kelly's?
Answer me.

Where are they?
Where's she?

Hey, hey, hey,
you better be careful with me.

You just get your hands
off of me.

'Cause I work very closely
with the Los Angeles
Police Department.

See, I have
a special arrangement.

I got a special arrangement
for your brains.

They'll be coming
out your ears.

Now where's the broad?

Oxnard, Oxnard.

What's an Oxnard? Huh?

It's a town, it's a town,
north of here.

Rockford's got the girl
on the boat.

But I don't know
where Kelly is.

But he's got her
got her on a boat.

And they're making
arrangements to fly her
out of the country.

What's the name of the boat,
baby?

The...
What's the name
of the boat?

The San Antonio,
the San Antonio.

But it's not actually
in Oxnard. But it's somewhere
very, very close to there.

I don't know exactly where,
because it was dark
when I was there

and I got lost.
But you will find it.

It's one of those
sports fishing piers.

If you just take
the Coast Highway.

Yeah?

Hey, I don't know anymore.
I swear I'm telling you
all that I know.

See, I'm not really
his executive assistant.

I lied about that, see.
I have the shoe concession
at the Lee-Sure Lanes.

I swear, I swear,
I've told you everything that
I possibly could tell you.

I don't know anything more.
I swear. I swear!

Sweeney. Lianne,
you all right?

My jaw, I think it's broken.

Here, let me see, move it.

No, no, no, it's not broken.
What happened?

What were you doing
in my trailer?

Boy, you're the one
that's in trouble, Rockford.

Consorting with known felons.

Misprision of a felony.
CCW.

What are you babbling about?

I want to know
what happened here.

What is it with you, lady?
You some kind of banana?

All right, did two guys
come around here?

New York accent?
One of them built
like a bathtub?

They the ones
that fell on you?

This is important,
somebody's life's at stake.

What did they say?
Where'd they go?

How do I know?
They b*at me up
and they and took off.

Why'd they b*at you up?

Lianne, I'm not
messing with you.

These two guys
are professional K*llers.

They want to k*ll
a young lady
who never did a thing to them.

I want to know exactly
what they said
while they were here

and where they went.

The boat. They went
to your friend's boat.

How'd they know about that?

I had no choice.

One of them said
they were gonna r*pe me.

They were gonna hold me down
and r*pe me and then k*ll me.

You really mucked it up, lady,
you really did.

How long ago was that?

I don't know, 20 minutes,
maybe.

What kind of car
were they driving?

Come on, come on,
maybe we can stop them.

I didn't see the car.

Hopefully, it's the same one
they were using
the other day.

[EXCLAIMING]

Tore the damn phone out.
Come on.

You see that restaurant
over there?

I want you to go in there,
I want you to call the cops,

and you tell them exactly
what happened.

Tell them I believe the car is
a '75 LTD blue four-door.

I don't think I can do it.
I think I have
a concussion.

Oh, you got something wrong
with your head, all right,
but it's not a concussion.

Why don't you just pretend
it's a 415 or an 888

and phone it in, all right?

Why don't you do it yourself,
you're such a big hero type.

Because I'm gonna go out
and see if I can catch them
and stop them.

Now, you call the cops,
tell them the boat
is the San Antonio

and it's at Moss Landing.

Also call the county sheriff's
department up there
and notify them.

Come on, move.
It's a matter of seconds.

[LOUNGE MUSIC PLAYING]

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

RobberyIHomicide,
Officer Mazursky speaking.

Oh, this is Lianne Sweeney.

I asked for Doug Chapman
again and got you.

I take it he's not in?

That's right, ma'am,

but we are expecting him
back within the next
half hour or so.

If his flight was on time.

Did you give him my message?

He never called in, ma'am.

Are you all right, lady?
Is there something
I can help you with?

No, no, no,
I'm all right, of course.

I'll call back
in a few minutes.

Vodka marti, rocks.

WOMAN: Joey.

Do it again.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

Place is called Moss Landing.
He gave me a map.

[PHONE RINGS]

RobberyIHomicide,
Officer Mazursky speaking.

Hello, it's
Lianne Sweeney again.

He's still not in?

No ma'am. Could you
wait a minute, please?

Hey, Serge, what am I
supposed to do?

It's that wiggy Lianne Sweeney
that hangs around
down at Ralph and Maura's.

Hello, Lianne,
this is Dennis Becker.

Oh, hi, Den.

There must be some screw up.
I asked to speak to Doug.

Anything I can help you with?

Well, I think I
better wait for Doug.

He'll be back any minute,
won't he?

Maybe. I want you to tell me

what this business
of M.K. is all about.

Well, to be honest, Den,

I really don't think
it's any of your business.

Lianne, if it's
department business,
it's my business.

Well, I don't know, Den.
There's really not much
sense in discussing it.

Let's just say
I put my faith in a guy

I thought was gonna be
an all-day police officer

and an all-night man.

I was wrong on both counts.

Will you just stop it
right there?

Now, I want you to tell me
what M.K. is.

I want you to tell me now.
Is that Michael Kelly?

By all rights,
this should be Doug's collar.

What collar?

Listen, I'm not fooling around
with you anymore.

If you are
withholding information
on a felony,

you're in big trouble,
and we'll push it,
I mean that.

There's going to be
a mob execution.

What? Where?

Listen, she sounds
flaky enough.

I want you to put
a tap on this line right away.

Lianne. Listen, we've been
good friends, you know.

So I want you to
level with me.
Come on, get it off, tell me.

WOMAN ON RADIO.. 1-Y-40,
your call is Code 2.


give your present location.


at 454 Barrington,

possible prowler.


a possible 187
at Dawson's Liquors.



Wes, Patsy, Get off the boat.
Dive in the water. Go.

WES: Come on.

In there, and lock it.

Where is she, Pop?

She went up the hatch.

SyI! You see anybody
hit the water?

I don't know.
I don't think so.

Hey, If I were you two,
I'd call off the w*r,

get in my car and go home.

ROCKFORD: The cops
are on the way right now.

You sure it's not the Marines?

No, it's the cops.
I know 'cause I called 'em.

You k*ll her now,
you're in for a m*rder fall.

All right, Pop, where is she?

I told you, she dove.

I would've done
the same thing, but my
old legs wouldn't make it.

You wanna try for two?
Now where is she?

Hey, you can't get off
the boat and pass me.

I'll deal with you.

You take off now,
I won't interfere.

You'll be on the main road
before the cops get here.

Tony Boy, do you hear
what he said?
He's right.

He's got a cannon,
he can pick us off.

Good for him.

Pop, I'm gonna turn you
into something

people aren't
even gonna want to visit.

[DOOR RATTLING]
PATSY: Don't!

Leave him alone!

SYL: He's got us trapped.

Will you answer me?

[g*n FIRES]

Come on. Up the stairs.

Patsy? Wes?

Move.

Hey, Anthony!
You set one foot
off that boat

I'm gonna take you off,
one by one.

What are we gonna do, Tony?
Tony!

We're gonna take her with us.
We'll hit her someplace else.

Hey, beach boy, listen up!
Hey!

What?

Me and my friend and the girl
are gonna walk to the end
of the wharf

and get in our car.

And you're gonna let us do it,

because if you don't,
I'm gonna blow her face away.

And it'll all be because
you made a stupid mistake.

I don't hear any answer!

Yeah, I heard you.

You k*ll her,
you got no shield.

How do you plan
to get me, then?

I'll get you,
don't you worry about it.

I'll open you up, creep!

All right,
we're walking, Rockford.
It's your choice!

Move.

[POLICE SIREN WAILING]

Hold it, Dennis. Hold it.

[g*n f*ring]

Okay, got your attention?

Look what I got here!

Now, here's the thing.

We're gonna walk
to the end of the wharf
with the broad.

Anything happens,
she gets popped.

You can't make it, fella!

I can't make it, huh?

All right, then sh**t me.

Come on, sh**t me, sleaze!

Nobody fire, nobody move.

All right,
everybody off the dock.
Back out of the way.

Bring me a police car.
We want to drive it
out of here.

Dennis, don't do it.
Our position is
as good as theirs.

It is, huh?

How about I go downstairs
and bring Poppa up here, huh?

Then he comes with us
with the girl.

How about that?

All right, Rockford,
off the dock

Get back with the cops.
Move it. Now!

You better listen to him,
Jimbo.

Hey, Dennis,
the last thing I want to do
is get that girl hurt.

We've got them here, and now.
So let's leave them here, huh?

Excuse me, Jimbo,
but we do have a method

of dealing with
barricaded suspects.

Is that the one
where the hostage gets
their brains blown out

like I saw on television
last week in the news, huh?

Most of the times it works.

We give these people
what we want,

and then we work out
a plan of action.

Dennis, you're gonna give
those cretins a police car.

Yes, Jimbo, I am.

How far do you think
they're gonna get in it?

We set up sharpshooters,
we take them off somewhere
along the road

when they think
they're safe.

Radio in and tell them
to take positions along the
Coast Highway intersection.

These guys will
have to slow down

before they drive their car
out into the traffic.

Yeah, but what if
the sharpshooters miss?

They don't.
Never?

Den, and if I may
point out...
Get out of here!

No, paragraph 88
of the manual says,

''If you have
a contained situation,

''you could keep it contained
as much as possible.''

Den, you know
how I feel about you,

but maybe this P.I. here
was right.
Just get out of here.

Now look. Look, friend...

Will you stay
out of the way?

This is none
of your business.

Deputy, get this woman
out of here.

I want her back.
I want her way the hell back.

I don't want to
even see her face!

What's taking so long
over there?

If I don't get what I want
in three seconds,

I'm telling my friend down
and he's gonna waste
the old sailor boy.

That's just to let you know
we're serious over here.

Give them
that black and white.

Make sure the riot g*n
is out of it.

[POLICE RADIO CHATTERING]

Sergeant, the sh**ting team's
in position.

All right.

Where's Rockford?

All right,
the rest of you pigs,

get out from under those cars,
from behind those cars.

Get back
where we can see you.

[POLICE RADIO CHATTERING]

Hey, no! Don't sh**t!
Hey, don't k*ll me!

I give up!

Hey, Wes, the medic says
you're gonna be just fine,
just fine.

I'm so sorry
I got you into it, pal.

Well, I knew what the gig was
when I signed up.

But I don't owe you
no more stir favors.
We're all anteed up now.

Wes?

It's okay, Queenie.
Be seeing you later.

Hi, Doug.
Hey, Doug, Doug.

I just want to say that
I think Dennis Becker
handled this situation

very, very well.

Even if that civilian
hadn't done what he did,

I think that
Dennis would have

nailed those turkeys
with no harm to the victim.

I think it was quite a collar,
a feather in everyone's cap.

The way I look at it,
there's sure as hell

enough glory to go around
from this baby.

Mrs. Sweeney,
why don't you go home?
What?

I said, go home,
go back to your family,

go back to your job,
whatever it is,

and for God's sake,
let us do ours.

The police don't have
many friends these days,

so we have
a tendency to take
whatever comes our way.

And that's our mistake.

Doug, I don't know
what you're talking about.

I just love what you guys do,
that's all.

[STAMMERING]
I hate crime, and criminals.

Hey, I just want to be
a part of it.

Den? What's happening?

You're asking me
what's happening?
You don't know?

God, you're a liar.

Somebody got k*lled
because you didn't call
the station fast enough.

As it was, another man
got sh*t in the leg.

And it might not have happened
if we had gotten here sooner.

Doug had been on that case.

See, I just wanted to do
what was best for everyone.

Lianne, you're lying again,
to me and to yourself.

You don't hate crime,
you don't hate criminals.

You hate people.
You hate life.

[EXHALES]

[PATSY LAUGHING]

What time are you supposed
to be at the airport?

Oh, they said
an hour before flight.

I guess the airport's
pretty crowded.

Hey, I got to
tell you something.

Remember back at the hospital,
when you left the room?

Wes told me that
the minute he got
that cast off

he's going to come
gimping after you
all the way to London.

He claims once he tries
the right seduction,
you'll fall.

The man is a total sexist
and a dinosaur.

He's also beautiful.

How about you?

Think you'd ever
get over to London

on business or something?

I hope so.

You know, I don't have to
spend the rest of my life
in London.

I mean, they're bound
to forget about me
back in New York.

I'm no thr*at to them.
They'll see that.

If not London, well,
I may even come back to LA.

It's far enough away,
isn't it?

Hasn't been so far.

Then I'll find
someplace else.

Like, I don't know, Oregon.

I hear that's nice.

Get a farm somewhere
back in the woods,

they'd never find me there.

I hear property goes
for next to nothing.

It sounds beautiful.

It could be.

Jim, I don't
care about money.

I don't care
about having a career,
finishing graduate school.

The whole thing has been
a whirlwind for you.

It's too soon for you
to know what you care about
and what you don't.

Remember what I told you
on the boat?

Everybody has to find
their own place.

You'll find your place.

It may be London, Oregon.

Who knows, it might even be
back here in Los Angeles.

But you'll find it.
It just takes time.

Come on,
we'll walk down to the point

and I'll drive you
to the airport.

Don't do that.
I'll take a cab.

I know a shortcut.
