[Music] [Applause] [Music] What are you doing, old man? Philly, hang in there. I had that creep Baxter in my sight and I let him go. I blew it. Believe me. Mr. H, working with me does have its outsides. All he cares about is chicks, fast cars, and guns. Everybody free, he die. I didn't think a little champagne would be harmful to my health. Not unless you drink it by the Magnum. [Music] n [Music] [Applause] [Music] a [Music] la [Applause] [Music] [Music] Everybody happy? Anniversary. Good to see you. Everything's complete except for Mike. Where is he? He's probably looking for a date. Wait for our wedding, remember? I remember. Wow, look at the great spread in there. Yeah, well, Barrington's in charge of the catering. Well, I better check on what he's catering. Oh, what's this? This looks great. I love it. Do you have to? Good here. It's S for chicken. I'm not through with it yet. Where's Hammer? Him and Philly Brock are doing last-minute shopping. Philly Brock, what, the Tiffany of the five and dime? That's the... that. What are they up to? Don't tell me I may be called as a witness. Ten years had passed since I was the best man at Pat Chambers' wedding. I guess that gave me the honor to find an anniversary gift for his wife Linda with my pal Philly Brock. Philly had a knack for getting anything from anybody. The dirtiest word in his vocabulary was retail. $600? Hey, come on, you're kidding. For $600, I could get two sounds like this. What do you want, Philly? You want me to give you my store? Okay, for you, 550. Mm. It's a present for the wife of a police captain. Philly, come on. Pat said we could go a little bit higher. I know, but I know it's worth. Talk to Mr. Hammer. Philly, the anniversary is today. Come on, the party has started. Everybody's waiting. Will you make a deal? Okay, okay. Look, it's a little flawed, but I'll tell you what. I'll do 400 if you throw in the mountain. You're robbing me, Philly. You know that. Don't make a sound. Dad, we're here to make a pickup. Don't [Music] sound. Don't anybody move. Everybody freeze. And the lady [Music] dies. I dropped the gun and let the lady go. Off your history, pal. On the floor now, priest. Philly, call the police out. What are you doing, old man? It's just get out of here. Come on, move. [Music] Philly, hang in there. Philly, hang in there. Somebody call an [Music] ambulance. This is delicious. I had no idea Larry was such a form. Well, don't try his key. He'll own [Music] you. What is it? Mike's been shot. Philly, too? No. I'll call you. Mike, Mike, are you all right? Yeah, Hammer, they had you listed critical. I thought you'd still be in surgery. I'm all right. Philly Brock, someone is fighting for his life. We got one name, right? Connie Baxter. He was the shooter. Po Philly, is he going to make it? I think so. We almost lost him in the ambulance, but I think he's going to be okay. What about Baxter? Graduate of Dannemora on parole. Conrad Baxter, two brothers, Sam and Barney. Believe me, heisting jewelry is not what they normally do. Listen, it's not your concern because you're going to be out of commission for a while. Yeah, don't count on it. And I won't need this. Mike, are you sure? Yep. Hey, what are you doing? You're booked for three days bed rest. Yeah, I'm checking out of this hotel. The room service is lousy. What do you mean you're checking in now? You can't just walk out of here. I'm in no condition to [Applause] jog. Listen, would you mind sticking around for a while? I think Phil would like to see a friendly face when he wakes up. Sure, Mike. I'll be here. Hey, look, Philly is tough. He's going to make it. Be all right. I heard myself saying words of comfort, but who was I trying to kid? Tragedy is never all right. There was nothing I could do about Philly, but there was plenty I could do about Conrad Baxter, the man who shot him. So I doubled back to the scene of the crime. It's a miracle more people weren't hurt. How'd they bust through your security so easily? Beats me. Systems brand new. United Federal supposed to be secure. What'd they get? Inventory will take a while. About 4 million. They took every major stone. How's Philly? Not so good. He's a good man, Philly. Somehow I feel responsible. Yeah, so do I. Thanks. I headed for home territory. Little did I know it had been invaded. Three creeps. Yeah, the name is Baa. Connie, Sam, and Barney. Barney? Yeah, Barney. Look, if I were a SAS, which I am not, and I just shot someone, which I didn't, your FL pass would be the very first place I'd head for. Yeah, three creeps. Hey, Mike. Connie, Johnny. Hope you didn't have too much trouble with the lock. Nah, it was easy. We all saw that stuff about Philly on television. Figure us some help. Mike, how's he doing? Not too good. So what you got? Nothing you can put a tag on. If he tries to move those stones in town, it's going to make a lot of noise. I got the word out in the streets. You trolling for diamonds? I can't afford diamonds. Fronting for the fence? Yeah, and all the big diamond fences are here, so he'll come here and try and unload his stuff. None of the people I know touch him. All the stones with a tire R, right? So that leaves him with no place to stay and no friends. Four million bucks will buy you a lot of friends. That's retail. Back to be lucky if he gets 10%. Diamonds get a big markup. Yeah, well, I'll get back to his markup. Hey, Mikey, be careful. This guy's crazy. All he cares about is chicks, fast cars, and guns, and he used them all bad. He must have a tough time getting [Music] insurance. Somebody had made the bad mistake of letting Conrad Baxter out of jail. If he had any redeeming qualities, you couldn't prove it by me. I thought if I checked with the parole board, I might get a leg up on him. I'd gone to the right [Music] place. Excuse me. Yes? Is a Warren Bax's parole officer? Let me guess, another detective. Well, I guess you could say that. Well, I've sent everything over to division. I'd like his last address if you don't [Music] mind. Here you are, Detective Hammer. My camera. Thanks. Wait a minute. According to this, he hasn't reported for three weeks. Conrad called. He said he'd found work. Yeah, he found work all right. He put a friend of mine in the hospital. We're not babysitters. I admit follow-up is sometimes slow, but we have to go with the information we're given. You take the word of a scumbag like Baxter? That's what we deal with. They send the saints down the hall. In case you didn't read the sign on the door, we are in the business of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation? Well, you're doing a great job. You went all the way from armed robbery to attempted murder. I couldn't know that, could I? No, I guess not. Try my caseload sometime. It'll break your back. Baxter's just one. I make judgment calls on 15 just like him every day. So I missed one? Of course your cops never do. Did I say I was a cop? You see, you just missed another one. The lady just didn't understand. You don't rehabilitate guys like Conrad Baxter. You ventilate him. Until then, people like Philly keep paying. Baxter had blasted my firing hand, but that didn't matter. I'd get him even if I had to pull the trigger with my [Music] teeth. I headed for the Baxter brothers' place in the Bowery, knowing there wasn't much chance that they'd left a forwarding address. Most rats leave their nest dirty. All I needed was the right piece of [Music] [Applause] [Music] dirt. I was ready to break through the police barrier. Only trouble was somebody had beaten me to it. Betsy didn't like being caressed by my left hand, but under the circumstances, I had no [Music] choice. [Music] [Applause] Next time I'll [Music] knock here on A&E. Conrad Baxter's last address was a cockroach castle, where I had run into a doll whose perfume alone probably cost more than the building. Sorry, it's not my custom to pick on cripples, but, uh, then again, most cripples are carrying a crutch, not one of these. For a lady, you have a great way with a heater. We'll discuss my qualifications as a lady after a little show and tell. First, your name. Hammer. Mike Hammer. I'll do that first. Both hands behind your head. Yeah. Wow, that could be you if you don't believe me. I have identifying marks. I'm sure you do. You have quite a reputation, Mr. Hammer. We'll discuss that later. w

Speaker A
are you doing here looking for trouble well don't cause any here please it's all right Mr Hammer's quite welcome Mah we heard about your friend I'm sorry thanks he's these are all company people people that help recover the stones I wish you had the guy that
Speaker A
took them well we tried but we were unlucky and incident Miss rothmore Co operated fully I'm sure she did the money was sent by messenger I had four cars and 10 men working in relays the package was dropped in a phone booth a
Speaker A
blind drop and picked up by another messenger exactly my men stayed with it through four exchanges and then we lost him in the no hour rush I don't believe it believe it it cost our company a bundle yeah it cost Philly Brock's life
Speaker A
did you make contact no I didn't it was all done through the messengers it was a risk but Mike these things always are and the insurance company's quite pleased with the deal you made are you going to arrest
Speaker A
her M rothmore for what receiving stolen property listen Hammer I know you're upset over the death of Philly Brock but I have no reason to arrest this lady where are the diamonds they're here merchon is checking them against the
Speaker A
Manifest merchon what do you have for us it's all here here everything's fine yeah not everything I'm sorry about Philly Mike I really am I don't like this fact is is rothmore Sav my company insurance never replaces everything you got that
Speaker A
right for DEC Warren I'm surprised I thought your case load was breaking your back I didn't think a little champagne would be harmful to my health not unless you drink it by the magnet Mr Hammer I nearly gave Audrey the same information
Speaker A
I gave to you she seemed to think it helped with the investigation mhm has anybody ever told you that you have great legs what are you getting at Connie Baxter had a girlfriend your legs fit the description perfectly just another form of
Speaker A
Rehabilitation from your friendly parole board huh I don't need to stand here and take [Music] this all [Music] [Music] would you hurry sweetheart I get a little too close to the truth what do you want I make a great cup of coffee
Speaker A
we're going to talk if I scream you'll have a hell of a time explaining to the police go ahead while we're waiting for the sirens maybe you can tell me a few things like how does Audrey fit into all
Speaker A
this I have nothing to say to you and let me tell you about my friend Philly Brock he was one of the sweetest guys in the world and now he's dead you knew about the job that Baxter was going to
Speaker A
pull didn't you maybe you even lined it up for him I don't know anything except you're a suspicious bully Baxter's probably on his way to Canada no I killed his brother he won't leave the country until he settles a score and
Speaker A
when he's through with me he'll come for you and your partner what whoever it was that asked you to hire somebody to pull an easy job for a price my guess as you went to your boyfriend Baxter I didn't
Speaker A
