Look at this,
look at this.

You going to
make sarah woozy,

Bouncing her
like that.

She loves it.

Look at that face.

I seen that face...

Just '’fore
she throws up.

Etta, please.

I'’ll get you
some coffee, chief.

Don'’t say
I didn'’t warn you.

I think
she likes you.

Sure she likes me.
Sure.

But you know...

Your aunt etta
might be right
in a small way.

Chief, let me
get this.

Chief,
it'’s parker williams
from the station.

He wants to transfer
a call to you.

Phone in the vestibule.

Mm-hmm.

Cream and sugar,
chief?

Etta, no. He can'’t
have neither one.

But I
would enjoy both.

Yeah, parker.

Well, put him through.

Bubba,
how'’s the big town?

It'’s getting
bigger, chief.

Chief, I'’m with
tommy vincent
and d.a. Benito rey.

We'’ve been going
over the case.

They brought in one
of them knotheads

I tangled with
last year.

Well, don'’t get
into any tangles this year.

When am I
going to see you?

You said I'’d be done
by friday, right?

Friday?
Sure, no problem.

I'’ll be done
by friday,

But I won'’t be back
till next week.

Next week?

Uh...i got a little
unfinished business.

Oh! Oh, yeah.

Well, then...

Tell the chief
hi for me.

Tommy says hey.

Give him
my regards, too.

You take care
of yourself.

Yes, sir.

We ready now?

Yeah. Yeah.

When can I go?

Soon.

An officer from
mississippi wants to
ask you something.

No.remember me?

Well, how quickly
they forget.

It wasn'’t
too long ago

That you and
mr. Charm there

And some of
your buddies

Knocked me down,
stabbed me,

And whomped me
upside the head
about 40 times.

I got
over all that.

But when I think
about how you
k*lled my prisoner,

Wallace fannoy,

Well, it still
makes me mad.

Makes me real mad.

I didn'’t k*ll anyone.

Can I go now?

We can'’t hold you.

Oh, yes, you can.

I don'’t know
why you'’re here.

I invited him.

His business
is insurance.

Tell him
to stay in it.

Listen, emelio,
locky'’s going down.

I got my witness,
and you'’re next
on my list.

I'’m talking about
you growing old
in the joint.

And the only thing
that'’ll save you,
is that I want morelli.

Think about it.

I'’ll think about it.

Don'’t take too long.

Come on, before
I change my mind.

People got rights,
you know.

Yeah.

But you ain'’t people.

Come on!

Tommy, what'’s with you
and the lieutenant?

He resents the fact
that pat day and I

Did a lot
of his work.

In bringing this case
to benito for prosecution.

He doesn'’t think
that insurance companies

Should be allowed
to investigate on their own.

How is miss day?

Busy as ever.

You'’ll be
seeing her soon,
I'’d imagine.

Yeah. Well, uh...

I best get to
the hotel and check in.

I came here from the airport.

Okay and, bubba, again...

We really appreciate
you coming out here.

Chief said
anything to help.

See you later, bubba.

Yeah.

Hey.

Oh, bubba.
How are you?

I'’m doing good.
How about you?

Oh, fine.

Same old thing.

We'’ve really been
crunching on this case.

Yeah, that'’s
what I heard.

I'’m really glad
you'’re testifying.
Everything helps.

Well,
I should be going.

Oh, hold on
a second.

Well, thank you.

We know epp
ordered the fire

That k*lled two people.

He did it because
this guy told him to.

Sure wish
we could prove that.

Well, we can'’t.
Not directly.

This guy, lou locky,
who works for morelli,

Made a mistake,

m*rder*d someone
in front of a witness.

The witness
is just a kid.

But with bubba'’s testimony
backing him up,

It should fly.

How does that help us
with our problem here?

I mean,
the two epp brothers.

R.i.c.o.who?

R.i.c.o.--
The federal
conspiracy laws.

Prove conspiracy between
our mr. Alvin epp,

Realtor and crook,

And morelli'’s
mob in l.a.

How do we start?

With a grand jury.

When wallace fannoy
was k*lled in l.a.,

He left
some family here.

That'’s true.

He left a mama and

A brother bob

Who works out there
at the airport.

He has to know
something
worth telling.

I'’m ready. We got
enough routine crime

Without
the organized variety.

You know,
it'’s funny.

If you mention
to people about the mob
being around here,

They'’re apt
to laugh at you.

They forget that
mr. Morelli here,

Don of the coast,

Started his operation
not more than a day'’s
drive from this town.

You met him?

When y'’all were
playing baseball
in the sandlots,

I went on board
one of his gambling boats
in lake pontchartrain.

As an investigator.

No. As an idiot.

Adios, emelio.

Unlock my door.
Hey, homie.

Homie, my door!

Hey, emelio.

Hey, boni,
what'’s happening, dude?

Mr. Morelli heard
you'’d been talking
to a mississippi cop.

Is he worried about it?

He was...but not anymore.

Good evening,
sergeant.

Evening, father.

I'’m sorry to disturb
you, michael.

Hi, father.

I'’m reading
this kafka dude--

How he turned into
a giant cockroach.

Is this literature?

Michael...

There'’s something
you should see on
the television.

At first, this looked like
another senseless k*lling

On the mean streets
of los angeles.

What separates this from
just another street k*lling

Is that the victim,
emelio suarez,

Was involved
in the locky case

With lou locky scheduled to
take the stand this week.

Tonight'’s k*lling
raises the question

How far will
organized crime go

To prevent testimony
in this case?

Are any of the prospective
witnesses safe?

I didn'’t want
to scare you, mike.

It would'’ve
been wrong to keep
this from you.

That guy was a k*ller.

He deserved what he got.

No, no, no, the point is,

I want you to think
about all of this.

When mr. Rey
gets here,

I want us to have
a long conversation
about it.

Father, look,
he'’s back.

The big guy with
the funny accent.

Who is he?bubba... Lieutenant skinner.

Youknow.

My friend from mississippi.

This is cheryl thomas
reporting from the scene.

Somehow they
found out he'’d talked
to you and benito.

It appears so.

O.k.,
Don'’t say it.

Maybe we
should'’ve held him.

Do you know
who informed?

Who knows what goes on
in the d.a.'’S office?

I'’m worried
about the kid.

Yeah.

Benito won'’t even say
where he'’s stashed.

I'’m worried about you.

Maybe we should
hide you.

I don'’t think so.

I'’ve never been
too big on hiding.

Need a lift
to the hotel?

I'’ll take him.
It'’s on my way.

I'’d like to check
on the kid.

I'’ll check on him.

Tonight?

Yes. Tonight.

I was going
to check on him anyway.

Good night.good night.

Nice seeing
you again.

Father, I wish the kid
hadn'’t been watching tv.

I don'’t think
you were listening.

I said
I made him watch.

Do you want him
to bug out on us?

If he does,
we can'’t put locky away,

We can'’t protect the public.

I want him
to help you,

But not if he'’s been
deceived about the risk.

Nobody'’s
deceiving me, father.

They can'’t tell me
nothing I don'’t know.

They'’ll be surprised
what I got to tell them.

Thanks, kid.

We got somebody
here every minute.

I know.

I see them watching around.

So don'’t worry.

What I came
to tell you about
is your mother.

We have a line on
someone who looks
like this picture--

Of course,
a little older--

Up in san francisco.

What should they
tell her, mike...

If they
actually find her?

Well...
Just tell her...

Tell her I said, uh...

Hello.

I was going to stash him
on tommy'’s boat
in the marina,

But the d.a. Is friends
with the principal
at saint regis.

The boy going to finish
high school there?

That'’d be nice.

It sure would.

You know, when
I think about that
massage parlor

Where we found him?

Good lord...

Where, as I recall...

You defended my honor.

Yeah, I sure did,
didn'’t i?

Yes, you did.

It was my privilege,
ma'’am.

Ma'’am?

Again?

I'’m sorry, again.

Pat.

Pat day. Is that better?

Mmm.
I like that better.

Well...

Well, uh...

Would you like to come in
for some hot chocolate?

In the lounge.

I should go
visit mike before
it gets too late.

Yeah. Yeah.
You better do that.

Well,
thanks for the ride.

What about dinner?

Tomorrow.

You sure you want to?

Absolutely.

Well, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

I'’m going to take you
to someplace nice, too.

O.k.

I'’ll tell mike
you said hello, o.k.?

Yeah. Do that for me.

Well, good night,
uh, pat.

Good night, bubba.

I need a cab right now.
Where'’s your phone?

Right there, sir.

Lines are busy.
Please hold.

Ah!

Saint regis'’ office hours
are 7:30 to 5:30.

Please leave a message.

I need you
to call the lapd.

Tell them an officer
needs assistance

At saint regis school.

Saint regis school--
fast, it'’s an emergency.

In this town,
it'’s an emergency
when the sun goes down.

Come on, get with it.
It'’s police business.

Yeah, whatever.

Hi. How are you?fine, thank you.

I'’m here to see
father mcbride.

Certainly, miss day.

Pull over here.

Here? Now?

Pull the car over now!

O.k., O.k.

Are you sure you know
where this place is?

Uh, sure I do.

Somewhere near
venice boulevard.

Somewhere?

Makes you happy,
we'’ll check in
the book. You want?

Yeah, yeah. I want.

Make me happy.

O.k.

Bubba. Is that a name?

Really?

It'’s the name
of a great fighter.

It took four guys
with knives

To put him down,
right, pat?

That'’s right.

I ought to
stay with him.

No offense, father,

But just while
I'’m giving testimony.

Do they truly need
this boy'’s testimony?

Yes, father,
they truly do.

Nobody'’s forcing me.

Locky'’s a bad guy.

I watched him, father.

I saw him k*ll
a friend of mine.

Can I help you?

Where'’s mike chin?

The kids are away
for the long weekend.

He lives here.
He'’s a chinese kid.

I don'’t know
who you'’re talking about.

Tell us where
the foxy lady went.

217...
On the second floor.

Thanks for your help.

Is everything
down there o.k., Arthur?

Keep the change.

Change? What change?

I'’ll let michael
walk you out.

Good night, pat.

Good night,
father.
Thank you.

Remember this?

Oh, yeah.

Bubba gave that
to you.

It was his.

It'’s been
my good luck charm.

I want to show him
that I still got it.

You really
like bubba,
don'’t you?

Yeah.

I do.

And you, too.

You know, uh...

I got no family...

Hey,
we like you, too.

But I'’m far
too young to be
a mother figure.

Oh, I know that.

You'’re like an, uh...
Older sister.

Yeah, an older sister.

That'’s right.

Mike, over here.

Hold it right there!

You all right?

I'’m fine.stay right here.

[Car engine starts]

Mike!

Are you o.k.?

Yeah, yeah.

Where'’s mike?

He'’s gone, padre.

Chief.
Detective.

How you doing,
bob fannoy?

Chief, you'’re
not interested
in airplanes.

I used to fly
an old greatleg.

That was
a real airplane.

Sure was.

After the second crash,
I couldn'’t make it fly.

I decided to stay
on the ground.

Bob, the people
who k*lled your
brother wallace...

They'’re going
on trial in l.a.
This week.

How'’s it
going to go?

They'’ll get
what they deserve.

But will the same
people here get
what they deserve?

I can'’t
worry about that.

You better
worry about it, bob.

Chief, look...

I went to a lawyer
to get some advice...

I told him everything I knew
about these realtors.

He said I knew just enough
to make myself a target

For a b*llet.

I have to say I don'’t know
what you'’re talking about.

That it?

Maybe. Maybe not.

All rise
for judge clint.

Sit down.

Now...

Mr. Rey, I understand
you have a problem.

If I may approach
the bench...

With counsel
for the defendant, yes.

Now...ahem,

What is the problem?

Mr. Locky'’s pals
have scared off our
principal witness.

We can'’t find him.

That'’s an outrageous
allegation.

If the prosecution
lacks a case,

I move for dismissal.

What are you
talking about?

The m*rder of
a peace officer

And a retired veteran,
attempted m*rder

Of mike chin, pat day,
and captain skinner.

Do you have proof
this was instigated
by the defendant?

No, not yet, judge,

But we'’ll get it.

Your honor...

This is smoke
and mirrors.

The prosecution
doesn'’t have a case.

I mean, that'’s
plain and simple.

Now hold on,
mr. Harris.

You want
a postponement?

Yes, sir.

Until this time
tomorrow,

Then I'’ll allow
mr. Harris to
make his motion.

Court is recessed
till 9:00 tomorrow.

[Reporters
shouting questions]

Can we get
a statement, sir?

I sense disaster.

Yeah.

It'’s my fault
for stopping by
saint regis.

How do they know
you went to see mike?

Probably had
a tail on her.

Without my knowing it?
I don'’t think so.

[Beeping]

Mm-hmm.excuse me.

We faxed mike'’s photo
to every station.

Watch commanders are
briefing every shift.

What else can we do?

Find him.

If the d.a. Let us
handle his protection,

He wouldn'’t be
in this jam.

Can I ask
you this--

Exactly what
is your idea
of protection?

Very simple--you put
the kid in jail.

Protective custody.

Oh, excuse me,
fellas.

O.k., Sit tight.
I'’ll be right there.

That was mike.

That'’s good.
He'’s all right?

Scared. He wants us
to meet him.

Us? What about...

No, no.

I promised--
just you and i.

I'’ve got to run
bubba back
to the hotel.

Let'’s go.

I think they heard
from the kid.

Hey, bubba!

Hey!
He'’s right there.

Hey, you'’re looking
pretty good.

No holes in you.

I'’m just fine.

Mike,
I am sorry.

I led them
right to you.

It wasn'’t your fault.

What do you want to
do about the trial?

Do? He'’ll walk
in that courtroom

And put the bad guys
away.

Let him speak
for himself.

Mike, do you
want to testify?

Son, she'’s right.

You got to do
what you want.

Hey,
I want to testify.

[Knock on door]

That you,
bob fannoy?

Yeah, miss gabby.

Hope I'’m not
disturbing you.

You want to see
the tibbs?

Yes, ma'’am, if I may.

Well, come on in.

Althea,
this is bob fannoy.

His father was
a very fine man,

And his older brother
was a nice man, too,

But he went wrong
somehow.

He the one
captain skinner
went to bring back

Who got m*rder*d.

Sorry
to hear that.

Well, welcome
to our home.
Have a seat.

Thank you, ma'’am.

Would you like
some coffee?

Yes, please.
Is detective tibbs home?

I'’ll get him.

I never knew
your brother,

But i, um...
Did meet your mom
at church once.

Losing wallace
that way...

She ain'’t got over it.
Not likely to.

Hello, bob.
What'’s up?

I thought it better
to come by here

Rather than be seen
going into
the police station.

Well,
you'’re probably right.

Coffee, honey?

No, thank you, baby.

Well...

I had a feeling
you'’d come.

After you left the airport
with the chief,

The plane
from new orleans came in.

It landed...

It was a beautiful plane,
a king air.

Anyway, it dropped off
mr. Alvin epp.

Epp hired wallace
to burn down that building

And k*ll those people,
which he didn'’t mean to do.

When I saw epp
get off that plane...

Laughing, joking...

With his fancy women
at his side, I thought,

I just can'’t let
this dude get off.

I can'’t do it.

I'’ve got to get him.

How do I get him,
virgil?

By helping us
get evidence
against the man.

Wallace was an expert
in electronics,

Electrical wiring,
demolition.

He did several jobs
for mr. Epp.

Really?

How do you
know that?

I heard them
talking on the phone

Several times
in the machine shop.

That would
just be hearsay.

The judge
wouldn'’t let that
into the records,

But you may
know something

That'’ll lead us
to real evidence.

That means
I'’ll have to ask you
lots of questions,

And you'’ll
have to give me
lots of answers.

I'’ll do whatever you say.

Good man.

Hey, bubba?

Yeah?

Tommy says the d.a.
Is going nuts.

We got to call him.

And tell him what?

We don'’t tell him
where we are,

Just that we'’ll
be there tomorrow.

Yeah, o.k.
All right.

I should call
lieutenant wadlick, too.

I would leave
that one alone.

You think?

You know,
if wadlick was dirty,

It would explain
some things,

Like how those K*llers
knew locky'’s pal
talked to you

And how I said
I was visiting mike.

Wadlick overheard,
I got followed.

Let'’s just call
old benito rey, huh?

Sure. I don'’t have
to know anything.

I understand.

I'’m just glad
you found him.

Sure.

Outstanding job,
pat, really.

Mm-hmm.

Hasta maana.

What'’s going on?

Pat and bubba
found mike, or
mike found them.

Great!
Where are they?

I don'’t know.
Pat wouldn'’t say.

O.k. I just got to let
the guys know mike'’s found.

You got no way
of getting in touch?

I can beep her, but
she says they'’re fine.

Right, right.

You got the pager number?

Sure. Here...
I'’ll write it down
for you.

Thanks.

Oh!

Oh, come on, doll.

Well...

When I said I was
going to take you
someplace nice,

This ain'’t exactly
what I meant.

Well, it'’s not
so much the place

As it is the company.

Yeah, ain'’t that
the truth.

Still the same,
it ain'’t exactly
what I imagined.

What did you imagine?

Well, you know...

Someplace nice...
Where we could talk,

Maybe get to know
each other
a little better.

You know, it'’s funny...

I feel like I do know you.

Can I tell you
something?

Sure.

Remember when
we said good-bye
at the airport?

Mm-hmm.

Well,
I thought about you
all the way home.

You did?

Yeah.

I thought about you, too.

There'’s no one special
in your life right now?

Uh-uh, no.

Or in mine.

I was wondering
about that.

So...we'’re vulnerable.

Yeah, I'’d say so.

And we live thousands
of miles apart.

A long way apart.

And we'’re from totally
different cultures.

Yeah, yeah.

Logically,
it would be foolish

To let anything
happen.

Absolutely foolish.

Mm-hmm.

[Beeping]

It'’s benito.
Excuse me.

[Rings]

Wadlick here.

Yeah, pat.

I just wanted
you to know,

If there'’s anything
that we can do...

Your pager number?

I got it from benito.

Listen,
I'’m sorry if it seemed

Like we don'’t
appreciate your help.

About tomorrow--

Why don'’t you come down
to central division?

We'’ll have a squad car take
the three of you to court.

O.k.

Look, one other thing--

Well, no, no, never mind.

That'’s o.k. It'll wait.

Yeah.

Bye, now.

You trace that call
I just got?

Yeah...

0909.

O.k.

Look that up in
the backwards directory.

I need an address.

[Mike]
all right...food!

I got one jumbo
double pepperoni,

Extra cheese
and, uh, chili.

You better go.

O.k., Y'’all, get in
the other room.

Let'’s go!

Hey!

Over there.what the hell?

Not without you.get the kid out.

Come on!

Let'’s go.
Check out time.

[g*nshots]

Bubba!

Come on, let'’s go!

Hey, look here.

Oh, hi.

Did you get
some rest?

No, not too much.

Nightmares?

Yeah, I had some
of them, all right,

But I did have one
real good dream.

Did you?yeah.

I dreamed
I finally landed...

The general.

What general?

There'’s
a big old catfish

Lives in earl'’s creek
back home,

And pat, I mean
a bigold catfish.

He weighs 20 pounds.
I been trying to
hook him for years.

You know what the funny
thing is, though?

If I ever was lucky enough

To hook that wily old
son-of-a-g*n,

I'’d probably just...

Toss him back.

A man who dreams
about catfish.

Morning!

I smell food.

Come and
get it.

[Telephone rings]

Eat up, guys,
before it gets cold.

Hello?
Oh, tommy, yeah.

Yeah, hold on.
He'’s right here.

It'’s tommy.

Yeah, tommy, what is up?

I am. Gillespie called.

He'’s worried.
Couldn'’t reach you.

He know about
those toughs?

Yeah. How'’s the kid?

He'’s fine. Pat's fine.
I'’m fine.

It'’d be
a fine day without
attempted m*rder.

Once you get the kid
into court,

They won'’t have reason
to keep trying.

Yeah, well, tommy...

We'’re sure they had
some inside help.

We'’re not sure who.

Tell him who
we think it is.

We think it'’s wadlick.

Wadlick contacted
gillespie.

When was that?

Yesterday.

He called to ask
if we were going

To make a case
down here against
turghor realty.

Did you say we were?

No.
I did a tap dance.

I said I'’d have
to check with our
district attorney

Who, incidentally,
is in our office
at this moment.

Ask him about
connections.

Mr. Darnell says
we'’d be interested

To meet anybody
from that bunch
out there

Who'’s well acquainted
with the bunch down here.

Especially anyone
who'’s been a courier.

For instance,

Anybody who'’s done
some traveling for
both of them.

Want me to stay here
and investigate?

Excuse me, chief?

Uh, bob fannoy'’s
missing.

Excuse me, bubba.
Fannoy'’s what?

He'’s missing.

There'’s no answer
at his apartment,

He wasn'’t
at his mama'’s,

And nobody'’s
answering his phone
at the airport.

We'’ll catch up
with him, parker.

Somebody
busted the chain

At the airport
last night.

What chain?

The chain
at the main gate.

[Bubba] hey, chief...

I better get going.

It'’s a long drive
to that courthouse.

Go ahead.
Talk to you later.

A courier could be
the basis of a case.

Plus anything
bob fannoy
might tell us.

Who'’s out
at the airport?

Jamison and sweet.

Unit 19,
come in, please.

Come on.

Mr. Sweet,
where are you?

Uh, sergeant sweet.
Over.

The detective wants you.
Hold, please.

Unit 19 holding. Over.

Report on
the break-in.

Well, looks like they used
a link cutter on the chain.

Any robbery?

We haven'’t inspected
the premises yet.

Can you see
fannoy'’s machine shop
from where you are?

Yes, sir.

Check it out.

For robbery?

Whatever.

Bob!

There'’s nothing
to worry about.

Hey, lookie here--
we'’re early.

That'’s what
this judge likes.

They'’ll love
your hairdo
in the joint.

Mike...what?

I figure they'’re
going to call
him "goldilocks."

I'’m going to get you,
country roads.

Yeah.

You, too, punk!

Not in this century.

Oh, yeah, kid?

Oh, yeah?

Really?

Who knows?
Maybe--

I mean, no.

Don'’t listen to him.
Forget it.

Just forget it.

Forget it?

Easy for you to say!

My dear...

Glad you were
with bubba.

No, tommy, this was
a total team effort.

The question is,
where is wadlick?

On his way to
protective custody,
thank you very much.

Please rise.

Chief, y'’all here
to see me off?

No...

To see that
body off.

A young man
was m*rder*d
last night.

Someone we know?

Someone who knew you.

Always one for a riddle,
eh, chief?

Yes.

For instance,
why would someone
m*rder a witness

And make it look
like an accident

And then

Cut through a fence

That a child
could jump over?

I give up. Why?

Someone just had
to let us know

That it wasn'’t
an accident.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

Some people'’s way of
sending a warning.

Interesting.

[Church bell rings]

Oh, san francisco...

I love it,
and so will you.

It was one of
the nine missions

Established by
father junipero serra.

We hadn'’t planned
on visiting missions.

But we will. We will.

You know,
we really need
to get going

If we hope
to make big sur
by night.

Thanks, father.

Oh, padre, uh...

We both got our
own rooms and stuff.

Yo, bubba!

O.k. I thought
I was going to
miss you guys.

What is that?

I think
it'’s a suitcase.

Well, uh,
you going somewhere?

With you.

[Priest] why...

You haven'’t even
been invited.

That'’s o.k.

I just got
carried away.

Bubba...can
I ask a favor?

Yeah.

If I apply
for the police academy,

Would you give me
a recommendation?

Well, sure enough,
I will.

You'’ve got to get your
high school diploma first.

That'’s right.

We should get going.

See you next week?

O.k.

Have fun!

Don'’t worry,
michael...

You'’ll see your
friends soon again.

I think you'’re
right, father.

Good-bye, father!
See you later!
