[music playing]
So I go to every show that night, front row,
right next to the stage, my tongue sweating every time
I got a whiff of her.
God, the body on that girl.
I mean, a chick gets paid to strip
for a bunch of guys, come on, you know you ain't
getting Roseanne Barr, right?
She was something else.
So I'm watching her, right?
She's doing her thing.
She's making every dumb john in there squirm and sputter.
So I decide right there, I'm gonna have her.
And I do it right.
Flowers, champagne, the whole deal.
Finally, she agrees to meet me.
So I wind up in her dressing room,
she's wearing this white see-through thing, nothing
but hills and valleys below.
So I say to--
what was the name again, babe?
Portia.
Portia, right.
So I say, Portia, don't keep me cooling my tail out here, hon.
Let me in.
And that she did, my man.
That she did.
Sounds hot to me.
Hot?
She was asleep.
I'd pull the sheets down, I'd just look at her,
just suck her up with my eyes.
Real work of art.
A masterpiece.
She couldn't sign her own name, but that's not the point now,
is it?
Sweetie, let's go.
Had a great night.
Good to see you. - See you later.
- All right. - Take care.
Have fun.
Thanks, everyone.
[music playing]
See you guys.
[music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
[music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
All right, let's party!
All right!
Woo!
[indistinct chatter]
[music playing]
Tell Katie I'm not coming in tonight.
I've got a business meeting.
Bye, Peaches.
[music playing]
[buzzer sounding]
[music playing]
Gina, you're late.
I got one already.
He's been waiting five minutes.
Could tell you forgot or something.
Sorry.
Do you want to lay down on your stomach?
You want to lay down on your stomach, Earl?
Yes, Gina.
[music playing]
I want to take off my shorts.
Later.
[music playing]
[moaning]
Can I turn over now?
Not yet, OK?
Not yet.
[breathing heavily]
[music playing]
[THEME - THE HOLLYWOOD PRIME TIME ORCHESTRA,
"21 JUMP STREET"]
We never thought we'd find a place where we belong.
Don't have to stand alone, we'll never let you fall.
Don't need permission to decide what you believe.
I said jump, down on Jump Street.
Your friends will be there when your back is to the wall.
You'll find you need us cause there's no one else to call.
When it was hopeless a decision's what you need.
You gotta be ready to-- be ready to jump.
21 Jump Street.
[music playing]
Come on, Kati.
We had a deal.
They can hear it in the rooms.
After the last customer, I want you to run a vacuum
through the waiting room.
Looks like somebody was shedding in there.
And then what?
Want me to clean out the shower drain, too?
The new girl always vacuums.
And folds?
And folds.
Don't make me take the radio, ladies.
Does she ever lighten up or is this,
like, something genetic with her?
She's OK once you know her.
Can't wait.
Hey, I'm fresh out of rubbers.
We got a house supply around here?
Thanks.
OFFICER JUDY HOFFS: I'm about as welcome as toxic waste.
You know, we could go inside.
I hear it's awfully toasty in there.
Captain, I have spent an entire week
breathing palm oil fumes and body odor, so humor me.
Okie-dokie.
You know, now that we know the Lomoco owns 70s joints,
the sooner we can nail in for pandering miners in this one.
I haven't even seen the man.
Yeah, but you've seen the girl who runs the place.
What's her name? - Kati.
Yeah.
Is there any chance that we can get
Kati to roll over on Lomoco?
Captain, I can't get near Kati.
I can't get near anybody.
I even caught one of the girls digging through my purse
the other day.
God knows how long it'll be until they trust me.
Then I think we should work this from the customer side
as well.
What I mean is get one of the girls
on solicitation, use that to get the Kati, then hopefully,
Kati will bury Lomoco in order to save her own hide.
Yeah.
Well, at this point, I don't think we have any other choice.
Is there any girl you think is our best bet?
Gina?
Yeah, she's available.
OFFICER DEAN GARRETT: Oh, great.
Cause I heard she's pretty amazing.
She's good looking, right?
You want a half an hour or an hour?
What?
Massage.
A half an hour's 80 and an hour's 120.
Oh.
Um, half.
Half hour's fine.
Go down the hall to the shower, strip,
rinse, put the shorts on, wear the shorts
from the shower to the room.
I could walk down the hall bare-assed.
Then wait in room one.
Sign this before you go.
What is it?
Says that none of the girls suggested
any illegal activities while you were here.
But, uh, I haven't seen them yet.
How do I know if they're--
Just sign it.
OK.
[door buzzing]
Hi.
Gina, you ever get that prescription
filled for your headaches?
That stuff costs 40 bucks a bottle.
I'll live with the pain.
Drugstores open til' 9.
I want you to go get it, OK?
No.
I had a customer.
He spooked before he hit the showers.
I just saw him leave.
You don't have to keep helping me out, you know.
Just go before I change my mind.
Hi.
You're Gina, huh?
Yeah.
What's your name?
Dean.
Well, Dean.
Why don't you lay down on your stomach for me?
CAPTAIN ADAM FULLER: What's a four letter word for trick?
Try ruse.
Ha!
You are a crossword goddess, Judy.
Yeah.
Well, time's up with this goddess.
Who's next?
Ioki?
Nah.
Penhall.
Penhall again?
You know he actually makes me do his feet when he comes in here?
Yeah.
Well, maybe you got a knack for this.
You've been doing this a while, huh?
Yeah.
Since you were, what, 15?
What makes you say that?
Just curious.
I mean, does your mom know you work here and everything?
My mom kicked me out when I was 14.
Oh.
Made up, I hope.
I went back a couple of months later, but, uh, she moved.
I haven't seen her since.
That's terrible.
It was a long time ago.
What about your folks?
What about 'em?
You think they'd be surprised to know that you were here?
Yeah.
I'm surprised.
What do you mean?
Well, seems to me a nice TV repairman
shouldn't have to pay for it.
Pay for what?
A back rub.
Bet a lot of girls would do this for free.
I guess I just like meeting new girls, you know?
Now and again.
You're ever go out with any of the guys you meet here?
Go out?
Like, date.
Would you ever date a guy you met here?
What's the matter?
You asked for a half hour.
Half hour's up.
So that's it?
Well, maybe I'll come back again sometime.
Yeah.
Maybe.
You got nothing?
She wouldn't offer.
I sure as hell wasn't gonna blow the case by asking.
Maybe Gina plays it straight with first-time
customers when God knows they're so paranoid
about cops around there.
Yeah.
With good reason.
It's not the girls we're after.
Remember that. - Oh.
We're gonna end up using them anyway.
What's that supposed to mean?
Nothing.
Except?
Except I thought it would be real trashy going in there,
you know?
And it was.
And I even thought it might be a little sexy,
and it definitely was, but more than anything, it was just sad.
She was a nice girl.
We're not gonna execute her, Dean.
We just needed to make a case for us.
I know that.
I'm gonna go back until I get something.
I just wish I didn't have to do that to her.
GINA: Who is it?
Mrs. Lake.
Yeah?
You know why I'm here.
I'm not Kreskin, Mrs. Lake.
As the manager of this building,
it is my job to inform you that either that cat goes or you do.
I got a six month lease.
I ain't going anywhere.
[cat meowing]
This is your last warning.
Oh, Bugsy.
[music playing]
I think we got a cop in the place tonight.
What do you want me to do about it?
[music playing]
Gina for half?
[door buzzing]
Hi.
no offense or nothing, but I asked for Gina.
That's me.
There's two Gina's here?
No.
You want to lay down?
Uh, yeah.
Sure.
[faint voices]
What are you doing in here?
Waiting on you.
We ran out of toilet paper in the john.
So what do you want?
My handkerchief?
That could tie us over.
Or you could just go to the store and I'll pay you back.
Good girl.
Always get your hands on it first.
Steven Lamoco.
Judy French.
French?
As in country or, uh--
Both.
GINA: Judy's been with us a week.
Good.
I, uh, I love new girls.
They always, uh, brighten the place up.
Then maybe you should make more of an attempt
to get to know us.
Couple a dozen rolls is usually enough.
Hey, French.
Welcome aboard.
Thank you.
It's funny.
You look about as old as my little sister.
She's 16.
I guess you're older than that, huh?
Why do you ask?
Just wondering.
Oh.
You're the curious type, huh?
My ex-girlfriend always said I was.
She'd get ticked off cause I'd asked stuff like, where
the hell were you all night?
You know how that goes.
Well, I think time's up, Dean.
It's over?
We can't go, you know, longer?
Uh, no.
I got another customer.
[music playing]
You're becoming a regular.
Hell, after I saw you last night, I slept like a baby.
That's why I asked for you again.
So what is your real name?
You want to go for a drink or something?
You wanna?
Yeah.
OK.
I gotta to do some laundry first,
but I can meet you in an hour.
Why don't I just go with you?
- To the laundromat? - Yeah.
Well, once I've folded your towels for you,
you gotta to tell me your name, right?
I don't, uh, give away my secrets for free.
Maybe you'll get something in return.
So who'd you see tonight?
Uh, Gina.
The real Gina.
And?
And it's OK.
You're not jealous, are you?
Dean?
Yeah?
You a cop?
What?
I need to know if we're going to get into this any further.
It's important.
Now, if I was a cop, why would I be standing here
sorting through your underwear?
So why are you?
I think you want something from me.
I just felt like talking to you.
I don't know if this is gonna make any sense,
but I feel like I want to help you.
See, that sounds like a cop to me.
Nobody wants to help anybody unless it
somehow helps themselves.
That's a lousy attitude.
That's the truth.
OK.
Then I don't want something.
What's your name?
Why do you care?
Because I like you.
And when you like somebody, you at least like
to get their name right, right?
Look, Dean.
If you want to do it with me, that's fine.
But it's gonna cost you $200.
You really think that's why I came here?
I don't know.
No.
Look, you seem like a real sweet guy.
If you want to get your yayas, you shouldn't be hanging
out with someone like me.
Well, maybe this has nothing to do with yayas.
I gotta get out of here.
I got one more customer.
I thought we were gonna have drinks.
My name's Kati.
What the hell took you so long?
It's kind of hard to explain.
You didn't get Gina?
No, but I did get Kati.
Kati?
Kati.
She's the one I saw the first time I went,
the one who told me she was Gina.
I saw her again tonight and she hit me up.
So we can bust her instead.
Dean, Kati runs that place.
She never works the customers.
That doesn't make sense. Why would she--
She must have made me the second I walked in.
If Kati knows you're a cop, she's gonna tell Lamoco.
Not if we get to her first.
[music playing]
I was about to call it a night.
Figured you had a partner.
You're under arrest.
I don't think so.
Hey.
Take it out slow.
[music playing]
OFFICER DEAN GARRETT: You're a fed?
I still can't believe you're DEA.
I still can't believe you almost bird-dogged my case.
Your case?
Look, my people are in there because Lamoco's making
a fortune off underage hookers.
Now, we're not gonna just ignore that.
I agree.
Sir, I think it's gonna be a lot
cleaner if I handle it myself.
I don't care about clean.
I care about results, which is something
I'm not getting a lot of.
There's not much I can do about that.
Lamoco is very careful to keep his drug
dealing away from the office.
Seems to me that if you can find the person who
is distributing on the inside, that might be the way
into his drug operation.
I think he's using one of the girls.
Well, he's using Gina.
We were gonna turn her as a snitch to get to you.
Turn her anyway, then use her as a snitch to get to Lamoco.
Kati, I want you to work with these officers on this.
And that's an order.
[music playing]
So what made you follow him?
His walk.
He was going down the hall with these nice, even,
30-inch steps.
Think either the guy's AWOL or he's fresh out of the academy.
Don't worry.
That wears off real quick.
I was on this dealer's yacht once, just me,
the guy, one of his goons. - Are you gonna shoot?
12 bucks, folks.
No.
Hey, look.
It was my invite.
Besides, look at it this way.
I mean, you guys help me make my case, he'll bump me up to 30
grand a year, easy.
Feds make 30?
How can you live on that around here?
I didn't say it was easy.
Why, what do you guys make?
42, 43.
But, you know, the city's always looser on their purse
strings than the feds.
It's your shot.
Hey, next time it's our treat, OK?
I'll see you guys later.
Bye.
Bye, Judy.
Look, my car's this way, all right?
So--
So is mine.
If you're feeling a little weird--
I don't feel weird.
Good, you know, cause what happens--
What happened is we got stuck on this case together.
And just for the record, we're not any happier about it
than you are.
You really shouldn't take how I feel personally.
Who said I was?
Look.
I just didn't have a lot of faith in the group experiment,
all right? - OK.
I mean, you haven't even got one of the girls to proposition
you yet.
Well, that's because I was wasting my time with a cop.
Gina's not a cop.
You want a little free advice?
No.
You go in there asking a million questions,
you're gonna make them nervous.
Just go in there, plop down, let her do all the talking.
She'll hit you up.
So you've been in a couple of times now, right?
Right.
How come you keep coming back?
I like it.
Oh.
Well, I'm glad.
You wouldn't be a cop or anything, would you, Dean?
No.
Good, because I thought I should tell you we accept tips.
Tips?
Yeah.
Anything between 100 and 200, depending on what you want.
And for $300, we can go all the way.
Could you hand me my pants please?
[music playing]
No, no, no, no, no.
I'm not gonna bust you, Gina.
Not if you can help me out.
[music playing]
Bugsy.
Bugsy!
Bugsy.
MRS. LAKE: Yeah.
I'm coming.
Where is she?
I don't know what you're talking about.
You broke into my place and you took my cat.
Now where is she?
I said, I don't know.
[music playing]
God!
Open this door!
Open it!
[crying]
[music playing]
OFFICER DEAN GARRETT: This is what I'm saying.
As long as you work with us, we can keep you out of trouble.
Why don't you just tell me what you want?
- I want information. - I don't know anything.
The coke you've been dealing at the massage parlor,
where do you get it?
My dealer.
Lamoco?
You know what an animal he is.
How can you burn me like this?
I mean, don't think that I make any money off that.
I just pass the stuff around.
Why?
Because he makes me.
Does he threaten you?
When I was 16, he saw me at this high school party,
you know?
And he made me feel real special.
And pretty soon, he was shoving coke up my nose,
trotting me around as his girlfriend.
And then I tried to leave.
And he doesn't threaten me because I already
know what he's capable of.
We need to know the people he does business with.
Well, why don't you just ask Kati?
I mean, she's his right hand girl.
Look, Gina.
I didn't ask you to pedal your tail in there.
Oh, that's your excuse.
You used me.
I did my job.
God, what?
Do you have ice water running in your veins?
I mean, you know what kind of a guy he is.
Forget it.
I am not gonna do this.
- Sorry, you have no choice. - I said no.
Forget it.
Fine, then we'll haul you downtown an we'll book you now.
Damn it.
I am not gonna have this blow up in my face
because you don't want to cooperate.
You acted like you cared about me.
Stop whimpering like you just lost your fairy godmother.
The only one that's gonna save your butt now is you.
You are all you've got just like I'm all I've got,
they're all they've got.
After all you've seen, I can't believe you
haven't figured that out yet.
I need some air.
Why don't you take me to Lamoco as your replacement?
That way, we can get to him quickly
and you won't have to be involved after that.
Well, I guess I don't have a choice, right?
Right.
[knocking]
Yeah?
Kati told me you were in tonight.
Not for long.
What's up, girls?
Well, I just found out that I got a modeling job.
You know, one of those catalog things?
So I gotta be gone for a little while.
Congratulations.
Yeah.
So I thought maybe Judy could pick
up the slack while I was gone.
French, wasn't it?
Still is.
Well, why don't you girls come by tomorrow night
and we can talk about it.
Unfortunately, I don't have time to deal with this right now.
Whatever's good for you.
8 o'clock?
Oh, and I'm really sorry about the, uh, short notice, Steven.
Go get 'em, kid.
[music playing]
[door closing]
[music playing]
She wasn't at home or work.
What about Mara?
Sometimes she stays with her.
She hasn't seen Gina since yesterday.
Great.
You gotta meet Lamoco in 15 minutes.
I think we should go anyway.
What if the guy freaks out when she is not with you?
I think if I don't show, we'll never get near him again.
I agree.
Hey, I'll be OK.
I got the mic on.
Lead the way.
I think your left front tire's a little low.
I can tell by the way the car is turning.
You're crazy.
Look, you don't have to be civil, all right?
But you can at least admit when you're wrong.
What, Garrett?
Just say it.
Stop making faces.
OK, I'll say it.
You screwed up.
You pushed and pushed and pushed that girl
into doing what you wanted.
Now she's gone.
You're gonna blame this on me?
You bet.
Congratulations.
You know, you have been dying for an excuse to rag my ass
and now you've finally found one.
There is always a risk with a snitch.
You know that.
Let me tell you something, officer.
I got your number.
You play along like this is some kind of a team effort,
but you are just drooling to prove what
kind of a damn cowboy you are.
You are a user.
I don't like users.
You don't know the first thing about me.
I know you should've told me you were
cop the second you made me.
You don't play by the rules, man.
And you don't own up to the truth.
Which is?
Which is you are just as much of a user as me,
only I got the jump on you and you're ticked off about that.
No.
The truth is, you lied to a fellow officer.
I didn't lie.
Not about any of it.
OK.
Yeah, I want this case, but not because it's
gonna look good downtown.
You know, I came real close to being one of those girls
myself.
You have no idea.
Person get a lousy start like that,
they almost never recover.
But I did.
I am real proud of myself for that.
French.
I was just leaving.
Yeah.
Sorry, I got hung up waiting for Gina.
So where is she?
Well, I don't know.
I thought maybe you would know.
Gina's a great kid and all, but, you know,
half the time, she's on Pluto.
OK.
Listen, my stomach is growling like Vesuvius.
I'll take you to the club.
We'll grab some dinner.
Uh, sure.
OFFICER JUDY HOFFS [ON MIC]: Do you think maybe
Gina will meet us there?
Lamoco [ON MIC]: If she doesn't, we'll manage.
Hi.
It's me.
Well, Lamoco isn't the least bit concerned
that the girl didn't show.
Didn't bat an eye.
Yeah.
Check the hospitals and morgue, everything.
Call me when you know. Bye.
[dial tone]
[music playing]
Lamoco [ON MIC]: How 'bout another round?
OFFICER JUDY HOFFS [ON MIC]: No thanks.
Lamoco [ON MIC]: Patty.
Another bottle of champagne, please.
[music playing]
I think you should know I'm a very ambitious girl.
I look at every job as a stepping stone to the next.
Is that so?
Mm-hmm.
And that's why I was interested in taking
up where Gina left off.
[music playing]
Work, work, work.
You, uh, you like to dance?
Well, now?
Come on.
I'm gonna show you off a little bit.
OK.
Let me just go visit the little girl's room first.
[music playing]
Go visit.
Then we'll dance.
OK.
[inaudible]
[music playing]
This guy is such a mauler.
I'm afraid he'll find you guys.
OFFICER JUDY HOFFS [ON MIC]: So one lambada,
and I'll be right back to [inaudible]..
Hey.
That's Lamoco.
I thought they were gonna dance.
[music playing]
Where's my date?
Try out front.
There's Hoffs.
Why didn't she go back for the mic?
Something's up.
She couldn't get it.
No way is she gonna get in the car with him.
Let's just not lose them.
[car starting]
Warren, take the night off.
[car door shutting]
I guess we just wait.
Yeah.
You're wrong about something.
Again?
I didn't go after you because I wanted to bust you.
I liked you.
Because underneath all that crap,
you seem kinda sweet and scared.
I wanted to help you.
I didn't expect anything in return.
Why should I believe that?
Because I don't want you to think everybody's
a user, especially me.
[phone ringing]
Yeah?
What is that supposed to mean?
So what are you saying?
That we don't know?
Right.
OK.
What?
They just brought a girl into the emergency room.
Her description matches Gina.
Yeah?
She's unconscious.
They, um, don't know if she's gonna make it.
But it could easily be some other girl, right?
It could.
No way.
If the Lamoco beat the truth out of Gina,
there's no way he'd bring Hoffs to a place with a million
witnesses, right?
He's not gonna touch her.
I'm gonna go around back and check this out.
I think we should go in.
You'll completely demolish the case.
I'll be right back, OK?
[music playing]
Steven, you're under arrest.
What the hell?
Hold it.
[groaning]
You have the right to remain silent.
If you give up the right to remain silent, anything you say
can and will be used against you in a court of law.
You have a right to an attorney.
If you cannot afford one, one will be provided for you.
Do you understand me?
Yeah.
[music playing]
[radio chatter]
[music playing]
I didn't get anything.
He didn't say anything we can use.
I thought--
I was afraid you were in danger.
I better go talk to Fuller.
I'd like the rest of his paperwork
by the end of the day.
So let me just say this upfront.
You know this program is not about nailing
Colombian drug lords or Peruvian smugglers
and New Jersey hitmen.
That stuff's not all it's cracked up to be anyway.
Yeah.
Well, we spend most of our time with kids,
parents, school board.
It's not glamorous.
I know.
That's why I'm here.
Detective Hoffs says you're a very fine officer.
And Officer Garrett?
Well, he didn't say very much.
Welcome aboard.
Thank you.
It's stuck.
Thanks.
I hear Gina's gonna testify against Lamoco.
Attempted murder.
Well, if it wasn't for Gina, we wouldn't have a case at all.
I think she's gonna be OK.
Well, you did the right thing.
Anyway, welcome.
Thanks.
[music playing]
