06x02 - Tight Fit

[bunniefuu]

I don't suppose you'd be
interested in making $200 an hour?

We arrest people like you.

You're the Barcelona Man.

Great.

I'll cut him off,
you corner him.

The Sarge is gonna love it.

Okay, that's good.
Right. All right.

Nice. Perfect. Up. One more up.

That's it. Smile.

Let's see the eyes.

Looking nice. Tilt
the head down now.

Pop the eyes up. That's
good, keep it moving.

- More teeth. More teeth.
- Nice. Great. All the way to the top.

Very nice. Beautiful.
Sit down now.

Geoffrey, just a minute.
Let me fix the skirt.

Okay, there we go. Terrific.

Yeah, that looks
nice. Okay, great.

That's it. That works nice.

Come on, Sheila.
Little more life into it.

That's it. That's it.

All right, now get
ready to slide, okay.

When I say slide. Here
we go. Okay, now slide.

- Great. Okay, that works.
- Terrific.

- Let's go to the next place.
- Okay. That's it.

- That's nice, yeah.
- Good movement.

- Okay.
- Okay, Bobby and Linda,

move in on each side.

Girls, look at me as you get on the
slide, as soon as you get up, that's it.

- Heads to me. That's it. Be careful.
- Great.

That's nice. Okay, fine.

Keep looking at me, keep turning.
All right, keep turning. That's very nice.

Getting tired, Leslie.

You're getting rich,
Sheila. Keep it up.

Okay, girls.

- That's fine. Let's go over to the swing.
- Great.

And we're outta here
for that extra, okay?

Come over here
for the two girls now.

Sheila, be here. Linda
and Bobby, come over here.

Great. Okay, now, you be
pushing her behind. Okay?

Okay, everybody
having lots of fun.

You love it, it's
marvelous. Okay, Geoff.

I bet that camera's
worth a lot of bucks.

There's only one
way to find out.

- That's good.
- Good.

- Great. Tilt your head down.
- Okay, terrific, girls.

Now, give me that baby
girl pout. That's real good.

- Okay, terrific. Great.
- Well,

- what do you think, Ponch?
- Okay.

I think we took a wrong turn
and wound up in paradise.

How come you never
introduce me to women like that?

Only when you're ready, Bobby.

Only when you're ready.

Hey, that's my bag!

Hey, you!

I need you.

Oh, no!

All right, put your
hand on your head.

I was wondering where you were.

Hey, somebody had
to validate their tickets.

You wanna get the other joker?

Come on, this way.

I've already called LAPD, they're
on their way to pick up these yo-yos.

Where you going?

Returning this equipment
to those beautiful ladies.

How come you
get to take it back?

Hey, that's SOGTBA.

"SOGTBA"?

"Senior Officer Gets
The Best Assignments."

That was wonderful. You
were absolutely terrific.

I can't believe the way
you rode after them.

It was like a western movie.

I'm always available when
there's a lady in distress.

I don't think there's anything
missing. We were on them pretty fast.

Yeah, everything seems
to be okay. Thanks.

This equipment
cost a lot of money.

Somebody say something about
breaking for the rest of the day?

Come on, Geoffrey,
I'm on a tight budget.

The light's changing
on me, Leslie.

We can get the rest of
the sh*ts back at the studio.

- Is it all right to leave?
- Sure.

Police can come around the
studio later and finish the report.

I hope I can see you
again, Officer Poncherello.

Ponch. Count on it.

Sheila, why don't
you ride with me?

I already told Linda
I'd ride back with her.

We have business to talk over.

Some new poses and layouts.

Definite possibilities.

You see anything you like?

Not bad, not bad at all.

Really?

I don't suppose you'd be
interested in making $200 an hour?

We arrest people like you.

Hey, I'm on the level.
How about $300?

How about introducing yourself?

Leslie St. John.

One of my clients is
marketing a new line of jeans.

They call them
the Barcelona Man.

I'm gonna tell him he's
found his new model.

Well, you also better
tell him that I'm a cop.

Just think of it as a part-time job
in a pleasant working environment.

There are a lot of
extra benefits, Ponch.

You do present a tempting
employee package.

Excuse me, ma'am.

The junior officer has finished
doing all the routine work, sir.

We gotta get back to work.

Think about it. Call me, soon.

You never know.

Stand back, please.

What's with the business card?

Leslie, she's got this
idea I could be a model.

That's ridiculous.

That's what I told her.

But the more I think about
it, the more it sounds like fun.

Maybe she's got
something for me, too.

I doubt it. They
need an honest look.

$8 million in
diamonds. What a haul!

Thanks, Eddie. Nice
doing business with you.

Anytime, Mr. O'Brien.
Thanks for the work.

You bet.

That car up ahead

doesn't have a current
registration sticker.

Hit the reds.

He's not stopping.

Yeah, but he's not
trying to get away.

- May I see your driving license, please?
- Yeah.

Sorry for not stopping, Officer,

I had my radio on and I didn't
see you till the last minute.

We stopped you, Mr. O'Brien,

because you don't have a current
registration sticker on your car.

That's impossible.

- Mind if I take a look?
- Go ahead.

You know, my business
manager handles all my bills,

I assumed he took care of this.

You don't remember getting
your sticker in the mail?

To tell you the truth, Officer, I've
been so busy with my business,

I haven't any idea. What?

Look at my car.

Sorry, the door was locked.

It's just a force of
habit, I didn't mean...

And the brakes?

Thought I put it on.

- What a wipeout.
- Yeah.

The insurance company's gonna
love this, a wrecked car and a ticket.

Mr. O'Brien, I think
we'll pass on that ticket.

Thanks.

Got a minute, Sarge?

I always got time
for you, Frank.

Well, I won't take long.

About that outside
employment request I submitted?

Yeah, well, I'm running
it by the Captain.

Well, you don't have to
make such a big deal out of it.

If it gets approved, I'll just come
by your office and pick it up, okay?

Yeah, I...

The LAPD had a major
robbery in which a courier was hit

as he was about to get into
his car at the airport parking lot.

He was carrying $8 million
worth of loose diamonds.

Whatever happened
to credit cards?

Any suspects, Sergeant?

Yeah, a witness saw
an older brown car

with a dent in the driver's
door leaving the scene.

That's the kind of case
we ought to get involved in.

Calm yourself, tiger.

A reminder, ladies
and gentlemen,

that the Pasadena Freeway remains
our problem area during the rush hour.

Be prepared to cover
for the unit on that b*at.

Okay, that's it. Oh... Frank.

- I've talked to the Captain.
- Sarge...

And he doesn't know why you
wanna become a model either,

but your employment
request was approved.

Don't tell me Field & Stream
decided to have a centerfold?

One thing's for
sure, it's not Ebony.

Ponch, I love a man who's not
afraid to try a woman's game.

Thanks a lot, Sarge, I
appreciate the confidentiality.

Hey, no problem. All
right, hit your beats.

Thanks for the backup.

Hey, you know you're always
number one in my heart.

I'll trade you the tall blonde
for the name of this guy.

$8 million in
diamonds. What a bust!

Zorn, you were told
never to come here.

You were supposed to make
the delivery eight hours ago.

- Delivery is delayed.
- That wasn't part of the agreement.

Neither was giving me a car with
the wrong tags on the license plate.

That's your problem.

You took half the money upfront.

The boss expects the
contract to be honored.

No, no, no.

That's our problem.

Otherwise I tell him who
really messed things up.

I just walk away.

- The shipment's safe, isn't it?
- Sure.

Unless a couple of
chippies get curious.

And if they figure it out,

k*ll them.

Okay, here we go, nice and easy.
Make this camera the eyes of a lady.

Give me a little
turn to the right.

Okay, now, all right.
Now look back to me.

Okay, all right, okay.
Okay, now, tilt your head up.

No, not quite that high.

Linda, Sheila.

Move in.

Each take a shoulder.

- There you go.
- That's good.

That's it. Move in tight.

That's the attitude
I'm looking for, Ponch.

Terrific.

Break their hearts,
sell our jeans.

Are you getting what
I'm seeing, Geoffrey?

Absolutely.

Isn't he gorgeous, girls?

He's got a great body,

but up here, there's nothing.

Okay, girls, change sides.

Okay, Sheila, full face.

That's it. Okay, both
hands on the shoulder.

Come on, Sheila. Give
me those million dollar eyes.

Come on, don't go dry on me!

Okay, let's try
Sheila off for a while.

Linda, change.

Okay, Ponch, I think
we can lose the chain.

Why don't you try this on the other
wrist? Linda, let's try it on the floor.

Lay down, okay.

Also, why don't you
try one without the hat?

That's terrific.

All right, you're
the Barcelona Man.

Great.

That's what I'm looking for.

That's it!

Okay, everybody take five.

You were sensational.

- Nothing to it.
- Have I got plans for you!

Hot stuff, Ponch. You even
surprised your manager.

Ladies, would you excuse
us for a minute, please?

- Got a minute, manager?
- Sure.

Everything all right?

They treating you okay?

I'm looking into your
dressing room now.

- What's with the manager stuff?
- Ponch,

unless to have a manager in
this business, no one respects you.

It's gotta stop, Geoffrey.

$5,000 the first of every month.

Shouldn't be too hard
to remember, Sheila.

I can't keep
paying. It has to end.

I hope not.

For your sake.

And what would you
do if I told the police?

Well, that's up to you.

You tell 'em your story,
and I'll tell 'em mine.

Who will get hurt more?

I wonder what that's all about.

There's definitely
no love lost there.

Come on.

- Everything all right?
- Sure.

Excuse me, I have
to get to makeup.

Talent on the set,
please, Ponch.

You tell 'em I'll be
here in a minute, okay?

Anything you wanna talk about?

I...

I'm not in the talking
mood right now.

Hey, come on, sunshine,
you're gonna ruin that makeup.

It's already ruined.

Yeah, well, then it
won't make a difference.

And I have always
wanted to do this.

Oh! What are you doing?

There, that should do it.

- I look ridiculous.
- Only when you cry.

Sheila, I've been a cop
too long not to smell trouble.

Ponch,

could somebody
get in a lot of trouble

for something they did
when they were 13, 14?

I don't think the law is really
trying to punish kids, Sheila.

I've done such stupid things.

Let's talk about it then, okay?
I don't get shocked very easily.

If you had a little girl,

and you loved her very much.

And your little girl

did something very, very dumb.

I mean, the kind of thing
that would humiliate you

in front of your
friends and family.

Could you ever forgive her?

Yes, I could.

Nothing matters more
than someone I love.

- Ponch, I...
- There you are.

Got a whole crew
waiting for the star.

- In a minute, okay?
- Go on, Ponch. We'll talk later, okay?

She's gonna be fine, Ponch.

- We're waiting.
- All right.

- We will talk later.
- Yeah.

- Now go on, I'll be fine.
- Okay.

Hello, Sheila?

Hi, this is Sheila. I'm not
available at the moment.

Please wait for the tone
and leave a message.

Here it comes.

Sheila, this is Ponch.

Please give me a call right
away. I'm very worried about you.

Still not home.

Did she say anything
when she left the studio?

Nothing. She ran out
while you were on the set.

There's something wrong.

That's got a dent in the door.

Come on, man, so did the other four
brown cars you made me stop today.

One more isn't gonna
make a difference

for an $8 million caper.

All right, let's
get it over with.

Excuse me, sir, can we
talk to you for a minute?

Yeah.

I'll cut him off,
you corner him.

He was on sale, 8 million bucks.

Bargain basement beauty.

Thank you, Mrs.
Simon, I appreciate that.

Would you call me if she
shows up or you hear anything?

Thank you.

Her manager's not even
able to find her either.

Maybe she's just trying
to get her act together.

Sometimes, people like
to be alone for a while.

Hey, there they are! Central's
answer to Batman and Robin.

What put you on his tail?

Ponch was on the phone,

- and this guy comes pulling it...
- Good police work.

You know, I have been following
this case from the very beginning.

Actually, what it took was
putting two and two together.

Then who gave you the answer?

Hey, did you get any more
information out of that guy you busted?

The LAPD's talking to him.

Man, I wish we could follow
the whole case through.

Uh... Where does it say
in the department manual

that the A shift gets a rest period
during the middle of the day?

- Just trying to learn police work, Sarge.
- Yeah, me, too.

Well, are you gonna
get out on the streets,

or are you gonna milk
this lucky bust forever?

You know, it's not as if you put
the whole g*ng out of business.

You just got the driver.

- We're on our way, Sarge.
- All right.

Brother!

He's real happy with that bust.

The Sarge is right, we
should get the whole g*ng.

How long does it usually
take to make sergeant?

First of all, man, you
gotta get through probation.

Eh... Piece of cake!

Hey, what's the holdup?

I don't know. I don't
see any accidents.

Just get off the street, please.

- Come on.
- Now let's go, back it up.

Come on.

- Get that traffic moving.
- Let's go move it out, come on.

I don't believe it.

The Sarge is gonna love it.

Isn't he gorgeous?

That's what I call a hunk.

Wouldn't you love
to be in her place?

It's him, the Barcelona Man!

- Where?
- On the motorcycle.

Oh, my God!

Ladies, please. Ladies, come on.

Come on, please, get
back on the sidewalk.

- Come on, please.
- The Barcelona Man.

Get back on the
sidewalk, please.

- It's him, Barcelona Man.
- Officer.

Hi.

What do you think?

I didn't know it was
gonna be so big.

Do you like him?

Now, for the really great news.

The sponsor's flipped. He's
on his way out here to meet you.

You know what he said?

Finally, a real
man in real jeans.

That's very nice, Leslie, but I
gotta clear up this traffic, okay?

Ponch, listen, we're not talking
about part-time work here anymore.

Successful models make six-figure
checks, TV series, movie careers.

That's how Tom
Selleck got started.

Leslie, I'm not Tom Selleck,
I'm Frank Poncherello,

and I happen to like being
on the Highway Patrol.

I'll explain it to you all
after the commercial.

15 MARY-6 and 7,

meet 15 MARY-10 at Reseda
and Sunset, code three.

MARY-6 and 7 responding.

- Set for MARY-6.
- Let's roll, Hot Dog.

- Where are you going?
- To work.

- What's up?
- Kathy spotted a jumper.

She's trying to talk her down, but
she found out Ponch knows her.

That's Sheila!

Come on.

Sheila, I'm on your side.

I won't do anything that
you don't wanna do yourself.

I don't believe you.

You're trying to trick me.

- Do we know anything at all?
- Not much.

Her parents flew in for a
surprise visit from Nebraska.

Here we are.

Loop the belts.

Come on.

Be careful, Ponch.

Just don't get an itch.

Is she gonna jump?

Ponch, don't come any closer.

Sheila, we're just gonna talk.

We promised to talk, remember?

- There is nothing left to say.
- Sure there is. There's lots to say.

I know right now it seems like
the easy way is to hurt yourself,

to destroy something.

But that's not the truth.

Ponch, I've hurt so many people.

People who love me.

People who trusted me.

People who thought I
was their good little girl.

Don't you think they deserve the
chance to live with your mistake?

Ponch, you don't
know what I did.

It has to do with Geoffrey,
doesn't it? Doesn't it?

- I don't wanna talk about it.
- Something about a guy with a nice smile

and sweet line of talk,

and a little girl who
wanted to make it fast.

Am I right?

You're making it all
sound so easy, and it's not!

I know it's not, baby.

I know it's very serious,
and I know you're hurting,

but there really are others,
your folks, people who care.

Don't let them down
because you made a mistake.

Try to think about
that, all right?

You've got a lot of folks
that love you, Sheila.

Hey, and what about me?

You won't leave me alone
with Leslie, would you?

She'll have me
doing underwear ads.

I need you to protect me.

You wouldn't leave a friend like me
out on a ledge all by himself, would you?

Sheila.

Come home, huh? Come home.

Hold on.

Please hold on, Ponch!

Take her.

- I was so scared.
- Me, too, baby.

Now, why don't you let Kathy
take you home to your folks?

They've been waiting for you.

- Thank you, Ponch.
- It's all right.

Not bad for a day's work, huh?

Partner, I'm proud of you.

I want Geoffrey, real bad!

Sarge, I want the whole sh*t on this guy.
George H. Wilson, also known as Geoffrey.

Local, state and
federal records.

Tell me about his associates, his bank
accounts, even what he eats for breakfast.

For the record, Frank, are you
keeping this on a professional level?

Wouldn't have it
any other way, Sarge.

All right, I'll
put a rush on it.

I got a hold of the LAPD follow-up
reports on the diamond robbery.

- Anything?
- It's hot.

They got Eddie Riles to give a full
description of the guy who hired him.

Mid-20s with a scar
underneath his left eye.

Am I ringing any bells?

- The guy with the car over the cliff!
- O'Brien.

I called the insurance company.
No one ever told them of an accident.

He didn't want a claims
investigator checking out the car.

Could you think of a better place
to let some hot diamonds cool off?

- Did you call LAPD?
- Are you crazy?

- This is our case. Let's go.
- Wait a minute, wait.

What do you mean, "Let's
go"? This is an LAPD case.

We'll let them know after we
find the diamonds. Let's go.

Oh... Why am I
listening to a probationer?

If this pans out,
Bobby, you'll be a hero.

And if it doesn't?

If it doesn't, my friend, I'm
gonna send you my cleaning bill.

O'Brien must have came
back and got the car.

- We're too late.
- Looks that way.

Wait a minute. All O'Brien
wanted was the diamonds.

- He would have left the car.
- Then who took the car?

Those city guys are
pretty fast at towing wrecks.

- Suppose O'Brien figured on that?
- Suppose he did.

There it is.

What do you think, Zorn?
Zorn: They're beautiful.

Delivery is complete.

- Our business is finished.
- Okay.

No, no, no.

Didn't they ever teach you
to count in reform school?

Put your hands on your head.

Did you see the look on Grossman's
face when we wrapped those turkeys up?

I'm not gonna be satisfied until
we wrap up Geoffrey the same way.

MARY-6 and 7,
this is S-3, come in.

MARY-6 and 7.

Go ahead, Sarge.

Thought you'd like to know the
LAPD Chief of Police called me

to personally congratulate
me on the diamond bust.

That's our case!

I also thanked
him on your behalf.

Oh, Ponch, Jenny got our
information on the photographer.

I'm sending it out
with Grossman.

That's a 10-4!

The Sarge took
credit on our case!

Pull it over! Pull it over!

I can't. I've got to
get to the hospital.

Pull it over right now!

Okay, but you'll be sorry.

Please, I gotta get to
the hospital in a hurry!

My wife's having a baby!

It's too late, George. I told
you it was gonna be too late!

You mean, your wife's
having a baby now?

That's what she says.

And believe me, when my wife
says she's gonna have a baby now,

she's gonna have a baby now.

Of course, she's just
doing this to spite me.

- Your wife's having a baby to spite you?
- No, she's having a baby now to spite me.

Oh, shut up, George,
and get me some help!

Help me, help me!

- It's coming!
- Take it easy, Mrs. Stewart.

We're gonna help
you have a nice baby.

- He couldn't wait, could he?
- What's that, Mrs. Stewart?

He had to see the sequoias.

They're over two million years old,
but he couldn't wait two more months.

I told him I was gonna
go into labor early.

- Ponch, what are we gonna do?
- Call the paramedics.

Mr. Stewart, it's dark in
here. You got a flashlight?

Yeah, there's one hanging
behind the door on the left.

Would you come in
here and help us, please?

I don't want him in
here! It's all his fault!

I could've been in a hospital!

The paramedics are on the way.

Grab that water. Come on.

She's going into heavy labor.
We're gonna have to move fast.

Grab that flashlight.

We'll pull back the
sheets and shine it in.

Come on.

- What are we gonna do?
- We're gonna deliver this baby.

- Here?
- Right here.

Will you hold that light?

Sure, she's gonna blame
it on me. I knew she would.

Her mother was
exactly the same way.

My mother told me
not to marry you!

Easy, Mrs. Stewart, all right?

This is the most natural
occurrence in the world.

I could have canceled the
trip, it wasn't that important!

- You're the one who insisted!
- That's not true.

Could you two hold
it down for a second?

That's fine. That's fine, Mrs. Stewart,
just keep on breathing. Breathe.

Keep breathing.

Look, you have to breathe anyway,
would you just breathe for the man?

I am breathing, George! Shut up!

Bobby, will you hold
that flashlight steady?

This is as steady as it gets.

Oh, that's it. That's
wonderful, Mrs. Stewart.

Breathe, come on, breathe.

I can see the baby.

It's a girl. It's a girl!

A girl!

That's what I've always wanted.

Here you are, Mrs. Stewart.

Oh, darling, I'm so happy.

George, I love you!

I love you, darling.

Shouldn't we do something
about the umbilical cord?

Just leave the cord alone.

The best thing to do is place
the baby on the mother's chest

and let them relax together.

The paramedics
will handle the rest.

Darling, do you think
I could come in now?

I love you, George.

I love you.

- Ponch?
- Yeah?

I suppose a guy always could always
get a little experience here and there.

I suppose you're right.

Jenny said you were in
a rush for this information.

It's about Geoffrey.

Hey, Nelson, you look
like you've delivered a baby.

Ponch, where did you run off
to? The sponsor was furious.

Never mind, we have a
lot of business to talk about.

Not now, Leslie, okay?

Where's Geoffrey?

Probably in the
darkroom. What's wrong?

- You stay out here, okay?
- Like Ponch said, you just wait here.

- Didn't you see the sign on the door?
- We wanna talk to you about Sheila.

Some other time, guys.

I'm a little busy right now.

- Some of us have to work for a living.
- I knew I was gonna like this.

We found out about your
sleazy friends who sell magazines

that feature photographs
of underage nude girls.

What friends?

We also found out that you
had the same problem in St. Louis

- a couple of years ago.
- Guess what, Geoffrey?

The St. Louis police wanna
talk about old times to you.

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

- I've never been in St. Louis.
- It doesn't matter.

You've got an account
to settle here, for Sheila.

I never did anything to her that
she didn't want done in the first place.

Exposure, circulation.

A chance to break into business.

That's a lot of fancy
words for extortion

and contributing to the
delinquency of a minor.

Maybe you can do a photo
study in the life of prison.

You're sure gonna
have enough time.

Geoffrey, what is
going on in here?

All right, jack, out.

What do you think?

A little flabby in the biceps.

I'll never make
you sorry, really.

I'll forgive you anything, dear.

Can't you please forgive me?

When I try to look
ahead without you,

why, everything goes blank.

I love you, dear, I
can't go on without you.

Oh!

And now, the Barcelona Man.

Everybody, this is it.

All right, Ponch!

Ponch, I can't believe
you'd give all this up.

Leslie, doing that commercial
and the billboard was a lot of fun,

but this is where it's at.

Olé!

It's Tijuana Man.
