T. J. Hooker

Five-Adam-19

and any other units able to assist.

A 211 in progress at First Metropolitan Savings,

612 West Nine; Five-Adam-19, your call.

This is Five-Adam-22.

We're vying in on Five-Adam-19, South (mumbles) Hall.

Roger, Five-William-22.

Let's go, hurry up!

Okay, okay!

C'mon, hurry up!

(suspenseful music)

Alright, hold it!

She's the prize; You want the prize, sucker?

Put your gun down!

You haven't got a chance!

Get out of here!

Get, go, go go!

Come on, let's go.

Let's go!

Hold it!

(woman screaming)

(woman screaming)

(guns blasting)

Johnny.

Johnny?

Johnny. (Dramatic music)

Johnny!

Johnny! (TJ breathing heavily)

I thought you were dead; You alright?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Put some coffee up if you want.

I'll be with you in a minute.

Now I know why you always have me pick you up in front.

I can't believe you're livin' like this, Hooker.

Life goes on, you know.

You've been divorced nine months.

Fran and the kids are alive and well in Oregon.

Love 'em to death, miss 'em like hell.

Yeah I know.

It was hard on you and Fran, the final break.

In the end, what hurts the most is when you realize

that love isn't always enough.

(old fashioned, lively music)

Easter in God's country.

And you're livin' here in a motel?

Just temporary.

I'll find time to get an apartment.

You gotta get out of here, Hooker.

It's the bad guys who belong the cells, not the cops.

I'll start looking next weekend.

Next weekend?

Good, you were gonna look last weekend.

Instead, we looked for the Harbor Hill Rapist.

I can't believe you, Hooker.

We found him, didn't we?

You sure you don't want a quick cup of coffee?

Thanks, I already cleaned my gun.

Hooker, are you alright?

Yeah, I'm fine.

You need to turn off the radio?

Can't find the on/off button.

It turns off by itself.

Don't you love modern conveniences.

Come on, partner, perk up.

They're waitin' for us:

The muggers, the rapists,

the robbers, the killers.

Yeah, it's a jungle out there.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three four; One, two, three, four.

One, two!

Alright Adam-11, the stolen car ring

did its number again last night.

As you can see from your flyers, two Porsches

and an El Dorado evaporated from the streets

of our city in the early morning hours.

Now come on guys, you had a partial description

of two of those car rustlers in the past five days.

Let's get with it.

Last item and possibly the hottest:

South Bay Precinct has been playing tag

with a gang of bank robbers for the past month

and they're losing, even with the help of the FBI.

What do you expect from South Bay?

Miracles? (Officers chuckling)

I'd settle for solid police work.

Now I hope you gentlemen don't have to eat those words.

Hooker and I have been mapping the robberies

and the pattern seems to be heading our way.

Now South Bay Robbery has compiled an MO sheet,

which you have in front of you.

The Captain's right, familiarize yourself

with the details, hit the streets, and watch your backsides.

What is it, Hooker?

The MO on those bank robbers.

What about it?

Four men, large banks only in stocking masks.

The leader takes a woman hostage, two others

spray paint the surveillance cameras and leap the counters.

They clean out the cages, the fourth covers the rear exit.

Sounds pretty well thought out.

Sounds like a bad dream to me.

I mean you've seen my place at the marina.

You've seen Stacy's; There's a vacancy coming up

at the end of the month.

I'm not sure I wanna cut into

your single's scene, partner. (Police radio beeping)

Four-Adam-30

and any other units in the vicinity: A 211 silent

at National Savings, 4121 Wilton Boulevard.

30 handle Code Two.

Four-Adam-30,

that's a roger.

(police siren blaring)

Four-Adam-16, we're rolling backup to three.

(police siren blaring)

Let's go!

It's him!

The One-Handed Man.

I can't let him take the hostage.

(screeching tires)

(vehicle crashing)

The One-Handed Man, I want his name.

His name, give me his name!

Give me his name!

Hooker, he's dead.

I wanted him alive.

Call an ambulance.

Get out a broadcast on the getaway car.

Lincoln license EWI489.

The One-Handed Man, you know him.

Five years ago,

he killed my partner.

Hooker, how come you never talk about Johnny Durrell?

It's just hard to.

When you lose a partner, it's almost like losing your wife.

Day in day out, your life is in his hands; His in yours.

When he goes down,

a lot goes with him.

I'm not sure how well I'd handle that.

Well I haven't handled it,

and I won't until I nail Johnny's killer.

I'll wait.

Johnny's widow remembers you with Johnny

and that's the way it ought to stay.

Hi sweetheart.

She gets more beautiful every time I see here.

You should see Little John.

He looks more and more like his dad.

I'm sorry I haven't been by in a while.

This place brings back memories.

Johnny and I through our first baskets here.

(Carol laughing)

The backboard was made of wood then.

The ball didn't come off as hard as it does now.

I got some news for you.

The man who killed Johnny, the One-Handed Man is back.

Back in town,

back robbing banks and I'm gonna get him.

I knew you'd never give up.

I want him so bad.

I'm grasping at straws,

any straw that might bring him in.

I don't understand, Hooker.

When I was leaning over Johnny's body in the bank,

he was trying to tell me something.

Later in the hospital, he regained consciousness

for a moment and he talked to you.

You told me that what her said was personal

and I'm sure it was, but

I can't help feeling there was a message

in there for me too.
