" Hey, Hutch." " Yeah?" "Crandell's five minutes late." "More like 10." "You make a deal with a thief, sometimes he shows sometimes he doesn't." " Crandell was eager." " Too eager?" " No, no, no." "There he is." "There's our snowman." "North Pole, North Pole." "We're reading you, Reindeer." "Okay." "Starsky, we got a car." " Two men." " Hang tough." " Santa's got two little helpers with him." " Right." "Let's get out of here." " Who's that?" " Hold it!" "Police!" "Cover me!" " Out!" "Come on." "Come on." " Come on." " Spread them out." " Come on." "Three out of four." "That's not too bad." "Make it two out of four." "This guy's bought it." " Who got him?" " You can thank Corman for that." "He had you cold, Starsky." " I owe you." " I drink rye whiskey." "Hey, who's the stoolie, Hutch?" "Who tipped you guys off?" "A little bird, Kalowitz." "A little snowbird." "Hey, you look kind of natural toting that cotton lifting them bales." "You'd look natural with a .38 calibre third eye in the middle of your forehead." "I'm just kidding." "Got a sense of humour?" "Rags." "You ain't gonna find nothing but rags inside." "Better than a pound." "Cocaine." "Pure." "Three million dollars' worth of cocaine." "A hundred percent pure." "Not bad." "Not bad for a morning's work." "Unfortunately, gentlemen, the two in the slams aren't gonna say anything." " Stryker's bailed them out by now." " Stryker." "He's the next phase in this operation." "We're gonna nail Stryker." " Any questions?" " What was the dead man's name?" "Crown." "Edward Crown." "Gentlemen, if there are no more questions, that's it." "We'll start tomorrow morning." "Early." "That songbird of yours is gonna sing some more for us." " Oh, no." " We made a deal." "He gave us time and place." "We nailed it." "DA promised to drop his dope charge." "That was the deal." "We lean on him more than we agreed to we've blown our reputation with informants." " I know that." " Well, if you know that, then why?" "That fink of yours got a soft spot in his heart for 17-year-olds." " What you talking about?" " He's a statutory rape suspect in Pennsylvania." "They wanna talk to him badly." "Now, if he cooperates, helps us nail Stryker I'll tell Pennsylvania he's helping us solve a very important crime." "If he gives you any static, I'll have him picked up and shipped on the first thing smoking." "Well, I guess we go talk to the little man." "I guess you do." "Go on and do your thing." "There it is." "Yeah, I seen ugly, man, but this is ugly." "Crandell's taste is as bad as yours." "The two of you could start a museum." "Come here, doggy." " Nice dog." " What?" "Just some dog." "Hey, dudes." "What's happening?" " Where is he?" " In the far booth." "You know what they say, "Huggy Bear's is where the elite meet and come to greet the neat and fleet of feet who are so sweet with the finer things of life."" " Push or shove?" " You play the bad guy for a change." "I'm tired." " Hi, punk." " It's us, the good guys." "What are you doing?" "Get out of here!" "You know what can happen if I'm just seen talking to you two guys." " We got problems." " Yeah, well, I'm sorry to hear that." "No." "We're sorry too, but you should listen to my friend's problems." "What are you guys doing?" "Playing some kind of funny game?" " Well, I gotta tell you, I don't like it." " We want you to help us nail Stryker." "What is this?" "We had a deal." "I mean, you scored the shipment." "I spoon-fed it to you like a baby." "Our debt's paid." "We got you off that dealing charge." "And now we want Stryker." "You know what?" "I don't know any Stryker." "Now, how's that grab you?" "Now, will you please move so I can get away from you two bums?" "No." "I'm warning you, let me out of this booth." "No." "You know what?" "I don't like you two." "Gee, we like you." " You like him, don't you, Hutch?" " Sure do." "I think he's terrific." "But there's a little 17-year-old girl back in Pennsylvania who's not too thrilled." "I'm getting out of here." "If you go, dumbo, we go together." "But I gotta tell you, Pennsylvania is awfully cold in the winter." "If I buy it, what do you want me to do?" "We want you to stay close to Stryker and tell us what comes and goes." "Also who comes and goes and how." "You gotta square the Pennsylvania rap." "We'll do what we can." "I don't like it open-ended like that." "As an outside observer, I'd say you don't have a choice." "Okay." "I'll go with it." "Let's talk elsewhere." "If I'm spotted with you, I'm dead." "All right." "Let's set a meet." "5:00 tomorrow." "Hampton and Division Street, okay?" "It's like we got a social disease, he split so fast." "I didn't even get a chance to get into my character." " Starsky, did you see that dog?" " What dog?" "I swear that was the dog outside Huggy's." "I didn't see no dog." " Be down in a second." "Need anything?" " No." "Good evening, gentlemen." "Please get out of your car." "You won't need your guns." "Hey there, little buddies." "Now, do as the man says and get out of your car." "That was a nice bust you made today." "Of course, I had other plans for my merchandise but I can accept the loss as a perfectly normal business risk." "Even New York City has its money problems." "It's nice of you to be so understanding, Mr. Stryker." "And as a businessman, I can appreciate other people going into business for themselves." " What you talking about?" "I'm talking about the rest of my merchandise." "Shall we say $50,000?" "What do you mean, "rest of your merchandise"?" "Did I say $50,000?" "All right." "All right." "You boys are hard negotiators." " $100,000." " What is this, Let's Make A Deal?" " Just give it to us straight." " Okay." "Straight." "Four million dollars' worth of coke was in that shipment you busted today." "Three million got turned in." "That leaves one million outstanding." "One million and you two, shall we say, opportunists." "You're nuts." "I'm lots of things, Starsky, but nuts I'm not." "Why us?" "Maybe it was one of your own people." "My relationship with my employees doesn't make that a reliable possibility." "Oh, no." "It was you two." "I'll be in touch with you in 48 hours." "You find my merchandise and you'll get a $100,000 finder's fee." "Maybe we ought to haul these boys down to the meat plant right now." "No, there's plenty of time for that." "Meat plant?" "That was cute." "Well seems like he was telling the truth." "Somebody ripped him off for a million dollars' worth of cocaine." "But who?" " What cop's under suspicion?" " Close the door." "You, Hutch, Kalowitz, Burke, Corman." "All five of you, as far as Internal Affairs is concerned." "In a theft like this, everybody's under suspicion." "They'll go by the book." " Those creeps never give up, do they?" " How's that?" "I said, you call out the dogs get IA nosing around." "With those guys you're guilty first innocent if you can prove it." "Now, you got three guys who've been on the force a long time." "They're family men." "An investigation like this could ruin their careers." "Starsky and I can handle the pressure, but these three guys shouldn't have to." "It can't be them." "Crandell's the only one that knew a bust was going down." "He used it to cover a rip-off." "Look, let Hutch and me get the coke back from Crandell." "For you I'm supposed to break standard operational procedure?" "No, no." "Not for us, for their sake." "All right." "You got 48 hours." "What Stryker gave you is what you get." "Oh, that's great." "We can't make our 5:00 with Crandell." "We'll put an APB out on him." " Captain." " Oh, I gotta ask you." "Stryker said he'd send us to the meat plant." "What's he talking about?" "Elmo Jackson." "He was my partner, like you and Hutch." "We went a long way together." "We were working underground to get Stryker." "They found him on a hook in a meat factory." " Nobody connected Stryker?" " Nobody ever connects Stryker." "Well, maybe we will." "First, we collar Crandell." "Man, this heap is a piece of garbage." "When you gonna fix it?" "Listen to that squeak." "It cuts through my brain." "I don't hear it." "It's driving me nuts, and you don't hear it?" "How about I put you on roller skates and tow you along in the back." "Would you like that?" "Zebra 3, Re:" "Your APB on Crandell, Caucasian male, 30s." "Reported heading east on 12th Street near Balmoral." "Out." "What do they want?" "We're on a call!" " What's going on?" " We're on a call!" " What do you think you're doing?" " You young punks!" " What was that for?" " Don't play games with us." " You know what you just lost us?" " We don't give a damn." "Who are you out trying to stab in the back now?" " Wait a minute." "I don't take..." " Easy." "Hold it." " Everybody knows about you hotshots!" " Knows what?" "You're pushy!" "Especially you, Starsky!" "Listen." "Me, Corman, Kalowitz we got years on you boys." "We were cracking heads when you were only daydreams." "Got it?" " Lay off." " Lay off what?" "Trying to tie us into that rip-off." "A missing million bucks' worth of cocaine." "Tie you in?" "We're trying to tie you out." "Sure." "You got accusations on us, you lay them on the table upfront or we'll shag your tails to the police office." "Got it?" "Some guys you just don't do favours for." "Yeah." "Well, I guess that takes care of Crandell." "We'll just have to meet him later at 5:00." " Buy me a beer, will you?" " Yeah." " Yeah?" " This is Rodgers." " Where are you calling from?" " A phone booth." " So, what happened?" " Crandell met with cops yesterday." " Starsky and Hutch." " All right." "Thanks for making the call." " What do you think of Crandell?" " That old boy?" "About as easy to hold on to as a greased toad." "Why?" " What's his bag?" " Making enough bread to keep knee-deep in broads." "Rodgers saw him hanging out with Starsky and Hutch." " How does that grab you?" " Not so as I like it." "I think Crandell worked the inside for Starsky and Hutch." "And then tipped them to the shipment they busted." "Then they talked him into stealing my cocaine before it got to the warehouse." "If you like, I'll find that fella for you so you can have a chitchat with him." " How's that?" " Yeah." "And then we'll contact Starsky and Hutch." " Crandell." " 15 more minutes and we'd have split." "Think we got nothing better to do than hang out and wait for you?" "I gotta be careful, keep moving." "I got Starsky and Hutch watching me." " I got Freddie..." " Come on, let's get this over with." "Okay." "I'm cutting out tonight." "It's all here." "Pure." "Each one will go for 500,000." "More, if you wanna cut it." "Okay, it's been a pleasure, gentlemen." " I'll just take my share and..." " On your feet." " What?" " The deal is off, Crandell." "Wait a minute." "Come on." "I took all the risk." "There would be no deal without me." "You stay alive, it's messy." "Freddie's probably following you right now because Stryker ain't dumb." "He put your arm in that hamburger machine and you gonna tell everything, my man." "No." "I got a feeling this is not gonna be one of our better days." " I think this car of yours is a jinx." " You wanna put that back?" "At least go and look at my uncle's car lot." "You don't have to buy, just look." "There was a fantastic metallic burgundy lowrider." "You know, with the tiny wheels?" "The front end sat up 6 inches above the ground." " Where is Crandell?" " He's only an hour late." "Look, the engine had a 375 cubic..." "You just want me to drive around in a striped tomato like you got." "My car is a striped what?" " There he is again." " Who?" " That dog." " What dog?" "That dog with the spots." "I think he's following me." " There's no dog out there." " Starsky, there was a dog there." " Okay." " Okay." "Zebra 3, meet Captain Dobey at 15072 West Buchanan." "Code Three." " What about Crandell?" " He'll have to wait." "This is Zebra 3." "Roger." "Marty Crandell." "No, no, no." "Crandell." "C." "Age: 34." "Here, you finish it." "These officers found something I thought you might want to see." "Crandell." "Hit once in the head and four in the body." "Right out of the book." "10 to 1, it's Stryker." "What's that shack over there?" "What was Crandell doing here?" "Was he dragged?" "Did he come to a meeting?" " Outside door, huh?" " Yeah." " Give me a hand with this." " Yeah." "Open on this side." "Bloodstain." "I think I may, I think I might." "What you got?" " It's the funny little white stuff." " Middle of summer, yet." "Well, they tailed him, shot him and dumped him in the field." "And then they took back their coke, took care of Crandell." "That blows our contact with Stryker." "At least it takes the heat off." "It's getting to be uncomfortable, being a target in that big turkey shoot." "Crandell's dead." " Who did it?" " I don't know." "By the time I got there, it was all over." "Just a dead body." " Starsky and Hutch?" " Could have been." " You like a piece of cheese?" " No." "That means they're operating as independents." "They're not gonna sell back our merchandise." "They're gonna deal it themselves." "I'm afraid we're gonna have to hit them." "Get Rodgers up on a roof across from that hole where Crandell lived in." "When they come to examine his apartment, and you can bet they will..." " Wouldn't you like some cheese?" " No, I'm on a diet." "We'll hit them then." "We had an APB on Crandell." "If we wanted to snuff him we could have wasted him." "We all know it was a gangland execution." "We also know that this is a standard procedure for Internal Affairs so stop your moaning and groaning." " You fire your weapon?" " Yeah." "If we killed Crandell, you think we'd use our own piece?" "I have to compare each slug with ballistics." "If that's all, captain, we've got 24 hours off." "Corman and me are going to my place." "We're gonna do some fishing." "You and Corman?" "Well, sure, go ahead." " What's biting?" " Trout, up at Bear Lake." "Thank you." "Got some information on Crandell's pad." "1011 Frontal Road." "A furnished apartment building." "Bye." " Well, that was a waste of time." " What a weird place." "That guy had 17 kinds of pomade and a dozen brands of smell-well." "I've seen voyeurs before, but this guy takes the cake." "There's that dog." "Come here, doggy." " Hell, where's that coming from?" " I don't know." "The roof across the street." " Did you see the dog?" " Yeah, I saw the dog." " I'm beginning to love that dog." " Me too, Hutch." "Starsky, cover me." "Go ahead." " See him?" " No." "Huggy." " Who's been trying to hit us?" " Who?" "What do you think I called you for, not to tell you?" " Stryker." " Stryker?" "Word's all over the street." "Why would he wanna try to hit us?" "He got his coke back." "That's all I know." " Then he must not have the coke." " And he thinks we do." "He didn't kill Crandell." "Crandell and the coke were at the same place, same time." "He's been thinking it's us." "We've been thinking it's him." "And it's neither one." "Cops." "Our brother cops?" " Yes?" " Rodgers blew it." "How?" "I don't know." "He had them dead to rights." "Then he shot up the whole street instead." "Irv, get me a glass of warm milk." "Quick." " What are you gonna do?" " I'm gonna have to kill them myself." "Corman, you are out of your mind." "We can't fence it now without someone getting suspicious." "Your trouble is, you're scared of the bogeyman, Burke." "You got a slave mentality." "All I think of is the dollars that coke is gonna fetch." "And we ain't gonna blow it now." "There's a million bucks' worth of top-grade cocaine in there and we sit on it until it's safe." "You hear me?" "And dump that piece in the ocean." "Quit worrying." "Nobody saw me pick this gun up at the warehouse." "There's no way they're gonna trace this gun or any of this to us." "This is the bullet that killed Crandell." "This one." "SID found it embedded in a crate at the warehouse where the cocaine was delivered." " Where's Crown's gun?" " Crown?" " Guy who got shot at the bust." " The guy Corman shot." " Oh, yeah." "Things were getting hot." "We were interested in the cocaine." "That gun didn't up and walk out of that warehouse by itself." " Someone..." " Cop." "Some policeman got Crown's gun and used it on Crandell." "Button, button." "We come to the same conclusion by a different road." "I make Corman." "He was nearest Crown." "There's Corman, Kalowitz and Burke." "One, two or all three." "Dobey." "Yeah." "Starsky." "It's Huggy Bear." " Yeah, what is it?" " Hutch?" " I wanna talk to Starsky." " It's me, dummy." "I know." "Put Starsky on the phone." " Is something wrong?" " No." "Hey, Starsky." "Hey, it's me, Huggy." " I got something of interest for you." " What is it?" "Not on the phone." "My place." " Huggy." " I'm always running off at the mouth." "But this is important." "You gotta get over here." "This is where it is." "No, no, no." "Upstairs." " What's going on?" " Something bad, down at Huggy's." "You're a good old boy." "You did that just fine." " Huggy?" " Yeah." "Y'all come in." "Out here, Hug." "Starsky, Hutch." "Y'all come in, now." "Come on, Huggy." "You know how we feel about bedrooms." "You wanna see your friend alive, you better get in here." " You gotta be kidding." " Our friend?" "That little black fink?" "You want us, you gotta do better than that." "Make your move, redneck." "We're not going anywhere." "Get them." "Get them, I said!" "Buddy." "Is somebody gonna untie me?" "I don't know, Huggy." "We might charge you with conspiracy." "You and that phone call." "Hey, man, you wouldn't be here if I didn't call." "Man's got a point." " There you go, Hug." " Thanks." "Send an ambulance to Huggy Bear's restaurant." "Tell Captain Dobey to send over a backup unit." "You have the right to remain silent." "I'm sure you know that." "And that bit about being represented by an attorney." "Go ahead." "You're about to fall behind attempted kidnapping possession of an automatic weapon, assault on police officers." "We can add possession of dangerous drugs and other little goodies." "You don't have enough time for the years you gotta do." "All right, let's not make a case out of it." " What do you want?" " Stryker." " Okay." " And a cop left on a meat hook." " Elmo Jackson." " I know about that too." "Police." "That's great." "I'll sleep much better nights, knowing you're guarding me." "I hope you have a warrant." "No." "But I have." "You, Dobey, captain of detectives, serving warrants?" "I wanted to drop that on you." "You trying to pin a cheap drug rap on me?" "My lawyer will tie you into knots." "Read it." " Murder one?" " That's right." "Captain." "You hung my partner on a meat hook." "And Elmo Jackson was a good cop." "As a matter of fact, he was my best friend." "Stryker, never pick on a man's partner." "I still don't understand." "What happened to the coke?" "You are one lousy judge of character." "We never had your coke." "Captain." " Where are you off to?" " Going fishing." "Trout." " Somehow I hope we're wrong." " Yeah." " Messy housekeepers." " Yeah." "What the hell are you guys doing here?" "We knocked." "I'm gonna ask you again." "What are you doing here?" "We heard you guys were fishing." "Dropped by to see if you were having luck." " You ain't funny, Hutch." " No." "I guess they want the truth." "Okay." "We're looking for a gun." "The gun Crown left in the warehouse." "We think that after you knocked him off you lifted the gun." " You figure I did that?" " Yeah, we do, Phil." "And you killed Crandell." "And you've got the cocaine." " You guys are over the line." " Really over the line." "Are we?" "You two going fishing together is like the NAACP and the Ku Klux Klan having a togetherness rally." "And you blew it on the fishing." "Trout season hasn't opened yet." "And you two claim to be detectives." "Halt!" "Why didn't you leave us alone?" "Crandell was nothing." "Crandell was nothing." "We might have made a..." "We might have made a deal." "Haven't you heard, man?" "Hutch and me don't make deals." "Come on, come on, come on." "Come on." "Sit down." "Okay, Burke." "Where's the stuff?" "In there." " Behind the wall." " And the gun?" "That bureau over there." "Give me Dobey." "Next time, we do it by the book." "Internal Affairs ain't complaining, are they?" "Hey, Hug." "Sit in." "And eat my own food?" "No way." "Huggy, these guys ever manage to say thanks?" "The department's got Huggy up for a condemnation." " It's a "commendation."" " But can I put it in the bank?" "Hang it on your wall." "And by the way, who's gonna pay for the damages to my luxurious upstairs pad?" " Oh, hey, I forgot." " And the check?" "We got a couple of dates, captain." "Sorry, we gotta run." "Terrific dinner." "Thanks a lot." " Huggy, you got a pen?" " Later." "Starsky, there's my dog." "Come here, boy!" "Come here, you good doggy." "You lifesaver, you." "Oh, what a pup." "Hello." "Hello, baby." "What are you guys doing with a dog in my place?" "I don't have friends at the Department of Health." "What dog?" "I don't see a dog." " You see a dog, Starsky?" " I don't see no dog." "Oh, don't jive me." "He's right there." "There's no dog." "What's the matter?" "You been sampling the goods again?" " Can't cut loose without juice." " Feels fine long as he's got his wine." " Otherwise he'd drink turpentine." " Go blind." "Oh, please." " Hello, pooch." " Hey, spotted dog."
