Dan on the Run
'Stache We've been together more than a quarter of a century.
[ Sniffs .]
I think of what you've seen and what I've smelled off you.
And if facial hair could talk, I know you'd sing an opera.
So, please Lord Forgive me for what I am about to do.
[ Gun cocks .]
[ Cylinder clicking .]
[ Gunshot .]
So, this is it, huh? Well, as you can see, the buggers busted in this window right here, and they They unlocked the door, and then they just walked right on in.
[ Gun cocks, gunshot .]
Jack: Did they steal any merchandise? Them bastards got my tubular lock pick.
I got one right here, and it is a beaut.
Look at this.
Look at it.
And I'll tell you something now.
If they got a half a brain up there in their head, they can bypass most standard locking mechanisms.
That's a fact.
Hang on You're telling me some punk is walking around with the keys to the whole city? We should arrest you.
Arrest me? For what? For negligence.
For aiding and abetting punks.
I'm gonna take this with me.

The ex-governor's son? Yep.
I don't want to be late, you know? He gets scared when I'm late.
Scared? But you and Frank saved him That would make him in his mid-30s.
You know, Jack, don't take this personally, but it is impossible for you to understand the bond between a sweet, angel-faced victim and the bad-ass cop who saves that sweet, sweet victim from psychotic kidnappers.
It's beyond your cosmic eggshell.
Yeah, I'll try not to take that too personally.
Oh, wha Oh, lord, look at that.
There it is.
I carry it with me.
Look at him.
Sweet little Andy.

Well, hello, little piglet.
Whoa! You remember me? Detective Dan's real gun.
Andy, come over here, dude.
I need your help for a second.
What are you gonna do with that? Here, give me a finger.
What? It's just gonna hurt a little bit.
Aah! Ohh! All right.
That was my favorite finger! [ Gun cocks .]
[ Cylinder clicking .]
Oh, lord, jacko, they set me up.
I knew that beer tasted funny.
They slipped me a Mickey.
Here's what is going to happen, dad.
[ Chuckles nervously .]
Problem with the dog.
Listen, some, uh, friends from work are gonna bring you down here to the office, and we are gonna sort this thing out.
You understand me? No, man.
They'll put me in jail! [ Siren wailing .]
I've only got one choice.
I got to save Andy a second time! No, no, no.
[ Sighs .]
Reporter: Breaking news.
X 4 news has learned that Andrew Davis, the son of former Texas governor sanford Davis, has been kidnapped for the second time.
Authorities are coming that the leading suspect in this kidnapping is Dan Stark.
Dan Stark was one of the two Dallas police detectives who rescued Andrew O.
M.
G.
That's you! I don't see the resemblance.
It's so obvious.
It's the same mustache.
Dan: [ chuckles .]
F.
Y.
I.
Saying "o.
M.
G.
" Doesn't save you any time.
I don't get it.
I'm calling the cops.
I am the cops, baby! You go ahead! Call me anytime! Dan Stark was one of the two Dallas police detectives who rescued Andrew in 1985.
Woman: Andy, do you have anything to say to Detective Dan? Thank you, Detective Dan.
Sanford: Our family cannot take losing our son again.
Detective Stark, if you're watching this, please, please return our son to us.
Reporter: The suspect was last seen fleeing a laundromat by two eyewitnesses who provided a detailed description of his current appearance.
All right, people, these are the neighborhoods we should be focusing on.
Our suspect Caucasian male, medium height, unstable, bad taste in clothing, stupid mustache, also says hurtful things.
Okay, enough, Hodges! Look, this is ridiculous.
We all know Dan Stark did not kidnap Andy Davis.
Admit it, Bailey.
Your boy finally cracked.
Remember last month, the way he lost it at kempenaar's retirement party? That was his last good brain cell popping like a zit.
Hey, hey, hey! Bailey, in my office now! Look, Detective Bailey, between you d me, I know Dan did not do this.
I mean, he is a loose wire.
He's a massive, massive pain in my ass.
But he's not a kidnapper.
Well, I think he's being set up.
By who? There was no sign of forced entry into the trailer.
I was taking a look at Andy Davis' records.
The guy's been arrested a dozen times.
Each time, his ex-governor dad got him off the hook.
He obviously runs with some shady people.
How much do you want to bet it's one of those guys that kidnapped Andy? If the commissioner sees me pursuing this case with anything less than full vigor, I will lose my job.
I understand.
Okay, so we will both go on doing our jobs.
I will be leading the team looking for Dan, and you will go on searching for the locksmith thieves.
And if that case leads you down certain roads and I don't know about them, I couldn't stop you from doing tha right? I will get to the bottom of this, lieutenant.
And if facial hair could talk, I know you'd sing an opera.
So, please Lord Forgive me for what I am about to do.
[ Door closes .]
[ Sighs .]
[ Water shuts off .]
[ Clank .]
Police! Freeze! Oh, my God! Oh, my lord! No! Bad Dan! Are you out of your mind?! You don't sneak up on a man like that! Are you nuts?! You almost gave me a heart attack, Dan! And you almost gave me a heart attack, so we're even! Dan Were you about to shave your mustache? I'm like a bear caught in a trap, and it's like I-I got to gnaw my leg off just to survive.
[ Scoffs .]
You're the only person I can trust.
Partner blood it's It's thicker than brother blood.
It's It's like a meat sauce.
Jacko, I need you to run with me.
No.
I said run with me, Jack.
Dan, no.
Fine.
I get it.
[ sniffles .]
Forget about me, Jack.
We got to save sweet little Andy! What do you think I am trying to do? Dan, I can't go out on the run with you because one of us needs to use police resources to try and track him down! O-okay, wait.
How did you get into my apartment? Oh, this little locky thingy.
Worked like a charm.
You know, you're right.
We should camp out here.
What do you want? You want the bed or the couch? I'd prefer the bed.
I don't know.
My back's weird.
Dan, you can't stay here, okay? The entire city is looking for you.
[ Knock on door .]
Who's that? I don't know.
No! Come on! Come on, come on, come on! Just just be quiet.
I'll be quiet.
Liz? Hi.
Here's Andy Davis' expunged records.
I could get in a lot of trouble for that.
I hope you understand.
Understood.
Crystal clear.
Uh, so, am I just gonna keepStanding here, and you stand there, and you don't invite me in? I-I've got a date.
What? Jack, there's a woman in there? Oh, my God.
This is so awkward.
I'm sorry.
No, it's okay.
Dan: [ high-pitched .]
Jack, hurry! Come ba [ coughs .]
Come back and finish having sex with me! [ Sighs .]
That woman sounds a lot like Dan Stark.
Uh, no, it's It's not Dan.
Not Dan? No.
If Dan Stark is naked in here, I'm gonna kill myself.
No, no, he's Maybe my date left early.
[ Telephone dialing .]
Jacko.
Bloodhound here.
I just wanted to leave a message.
I am safe.
I am in the home of someone who I know will take me in and care for me.
I am with the one person in the world I can trust.
Mr.
bedard, I presume? Hey, man.
Do I know you? No.
What do you want, man? Do you want to score some weed? [ Chuckles .]
I was kidding.
You know that, right? When was the last time you saw Andy Davis? Never heard of him.
Really? Because I got some police records that state that you were busted for selling Andy Davis weed about nine months ago Expunged but not forgotten.
Oh! That Andy Davis.
[ Laughs .]
I know him.
But I haven't seen him in a long time.
Well, I'm just gonna take this Oh.
And, uh, grab this, and I'll be back in 20 minutes with a warrant.
See you soon.
Hey, man! Andy came to see me a few months ago, so I sent him over to some other dudes.
Tell me where I can find these other dudes.
Andy: We're out of cereal again.
What are you talking about? Man, get back inside.
You're supposed to be kidnapped.
What if there's, like, a cop here or something? We We'd all be in trouble.
You mean like that cop? Dude, get inside! Move! Move! Man, come on! Get down! Get down! Don't let him see you.
I don't want to get in trouble! What do I do?! What do I do?! He's getting closer! Dude, garage! [ Gunshots .]
Oh, my gosh! What are you doing?! Where did you get a gun?! Detective Dan's trailer! I don't want to get in trouble! Come on, we got to get out of here! Come on! Aah! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! In the back! Cover yourself up! You can't be seen! This was supposed to be a fake kidnapping, but it's really starting to feel like a real kidnapping.

[ Horn honks .]
[ Mumbling .]
Ohh! Get up! Get your ass up, you little weasel! I'm gonna clock you! Come on! Stark.

Mm.
Frank, what is he doing here? He broke in.
And I found him asleep on the couch.
Oh.
But, uh, he was just leaving.
Oh, good.
You know what, Dan? I have to be honest with you.
It's probably not best that you're here.
His therapist has expressly forbidden any sort ofContact with you.
Let me ask you something.
Was it your therapist Was it Dr.
winfrey Not funny.
Who asked you to hide away your matching "Savage and Stark" flask in a trunk in a laundry room?! He feels that it is best Saint.
That I keep the artifacts of my old life Old life.
Out of sight.
Locked away.
Listen, Dan, it's probably best that youet out of here.
Okay? Y, hey, hey.
Whoa, whoa.
W-where we going, brahs? Andy, shh.
Stop talking, bro.
Well, I thought we were friends.
Yeah, and we thought you were gonna keep us from going to jail! Come on.
Stay in here.
Stay.
Where are we, guys? [ gun cocks, gunshot .]
Okay, help me block the door.
We got to blocthe door.
Okay.
Now we need a hideout.
Well, why here? Do you got any better ideas, genius? Breathe.
In through the nose [ inhales deeply .]
Out through the mouth.
[ exhales sharply .]
Center.
All right, I'm back, bro.
Maybe we should take him home, call the whole thing off.
Dude, what are you smoking?! Pot.
We can't take him home, idiot! He just shot a cop! Ruiz: So, your first gunshot wound.
How's it feel? Not good, but I'll live.
[ chuckles .]
Lieutenant, I'm sorry.
No, no, no.
Save your apologies.
There's somebody who wants to talk to you.
Commissioner brobeck.
It's an honor to meet you, sir.
Lieutenant ruiz, I'm gonna need a moment alone with the Detective.
[ Door closes .]
Sit down.
Bailey, one of the great perks of my job is I usuly don't have to deal with dettives in property crimes, yet here I am.
I wish it was under better circumstances, sir.
So do I.
Now, the way I see it, you got two choices.
You can impress me, or you can disappoint me.
You find your partner, I'm impressed, and you're on my radar for the right reasons.
With all due respect, sir, Dan Stark did not do this.
Oh, right.
Yes.
It was the, uh, phantom drug dealers, the ones whose names you couldn't get.
My question is, what's the motive? I mean, why go through all that trouble just to frame a broke-down, washed-up Detective? I'm afraid I don't have an answer to that, sir.
This is pretty thin.
Well, what's Dan's motive, sir? Excuse me? Why would Dan kidnap a guy that he saved 25 years ago? That's your job to figure out.
Now, lieutenant ruiz tells me that you are an ambitious young man and that you have a tendency to run your mouth to your superiors.
That's clearly true.
But I can't think of a better way for you to advance your career than to make a high-profile arrest like this one.
By the way, ballistics report came back on your little shootout.
The bullet that hit you came from your partner's gun.
[ Door closes .]
Dan shot you? That's what the ballistics say.
I mean, all the evidence points to Dan, but I know Dan.
Dan would not do this.
He's my partner, all right? I trust him with my life.
It's like I'm the ly guy in all of Dallas that doesn't want Dan Stark to go to jail.
I don't want him going to jail, either.
Ife goes to jail, I got six cases on my docket that are busted.
What? How so? Well, he's the arresting officer.
If this gets pinned on him, pretty much a slam dunk for the defense.
That's it.
What? That that's the motive! Whoever Dan arrested is setting him up! I need to see the case files on all six of those defendants.
I' got them in my office.
Well, then, we got to go to your office now.
Okay.
Appreciate all the stuff you're you're letting me use.
You can burn it.
Come on, Cynthia.
Is this still about that toast I made at the wedding? Oh, you mean the one where you congratulated me on being Frank's lucky 100th? Yeah.
It's a compliment.
Oh, yes.
I know.
Well, thank you.
You won the turkey shoot, baby.
Let it go.
[ Chuckles .]
Listen, uh I've stayed away for 25 years, and I would just appreciate a moment to say goodbye to my My old partner, one on one.
Okay.
You have three minutes.
Then I'm calling the cops.
Yes, ma'am [ sighs .]
Okay, here's what, Frankie.
This is serious.
We are the only two that can save sweet little Andy again.
I'm not in the saving business anymore, Dan.
I have moved on.
A real cop doesn't move on, Frank.
You know that.
You're gonna have to go now, Danny.
I'm sorry.
All right.
Let me just ask you one more question.
If you have moved on, how come you're still sporting that bitchin' 'stache? [ Siren wailing .]
Oh, come on.
What the Did you call the cops? Yes, I did.
I thought you said three minutes.
I lied.
You Guys, can I please go home now? This is boring, guys! [ Bubble wrap popping .]
Brahs, c-could I have a magazine, maybe? I'm almost out of bubble wrap, guys! Dude's voice is driving me nuts, making me want to kill myself! And then kill him! I'd really like to go home now, guys! I mean, ahs.
Hello?! Hello?! Wait a second.
I just had an idea that might just save ourselves here.
Right now, everybody thinks Dan Stark kidnapped Danny, right? We left the ransom note.
We ran from the cops.
So what if Andy got killed with Dan Stark's gun? Think the cops will buy that? It's better than Andy talking to the cops.
[ Siren wailing .]
Okay, I got a hostage here! Frank: Don't shoot! Don't shoot! I got nothing to lose! He's serious! Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt! Come on, Stark.
Even you're not this crazy.
He's absolutely this crazy! We've got help.
There's still time.
Just drop the gun.
No way, hodge hole! You two! You two, get your guns down! [ Gunshot .]
Oh! Oh, come on, Stark! That's city property.
Come on, put them down! Do what he says! I'm freaking out! I'm freaking out here! [ Gunshot .]
Aah! How about that? Is that city property, too?! Give me keys, give me keys, give me keys, give me keys, give me keys! Aw, damn it! Give me the keys.
Give me the keys.
What are you doing? Go ahead, you can shoot him.
Get in the car.
Get in.
Go ahead.
Go on.
You've got a straight shot.
Take that! Take the bag.
Give me the gun! I'll shoot him myself! Get in there! Get in! Be strong, Cynthia! I love you! Get in the car! I love you, too, baby! I got nothing to lose! [ engine turns over .]
Stark, you son of a bitch! Oh, God.
Frank, be careful! [ Tires screeching .]
Well, go get him! Whoo-hoo! [ Both laugh .]
Take your partner hostage! I can't believe that still works! Oh, baby, it is a classic.
Oh, man, Cynthia's ticked off at me.
Well, I love that woman, but she can be a little bossy sometimes.
Don't I know it, man.
You remember the night the three of us met when we were getting into I told you never, ever To bring that up again.
You're right, Frank.
I'm sorry about that, partner.
It won't happen again.
Forget it.
[ Laughs .]
Hey, I think Stella misses her daddy.
Oh, come here, baby.
[ Smooches .]
How you been? Lonely.
[ Laughing .]
Well, partner You ready to bust some punks? I thought you'd never ask.
Whoo! Jack, I got the extra files from ?? Okay, good, because this is not working.
No, it's very precarious No, I got it, I got it.
No.
I [ clattering .]
I got it.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Look like all of Dan's upcoming trials are all drug-related.
Wait wait a minute.
The hillview motel? That was where I was shot.
Dan arrested two pot dealers at the hillview motel.
Oh, my God.
I know these guys.
This is Brody Wilson and Parker gray.
Their trial's coming up at the end of the month.
These are our guys, Liz.
Yeah.
We interrupt our programming with breaking news on the second kidnapping of Andrew Davis.
There is a stunning development.
Sources have confirmed that Detective Dan Stark broke into the home of his former partner, Frank savage, and abducted him at gunpoint.
It's the "take your partner hostage" trick.
Dan and Frank are working together.
T-they'ron the case.
Oh, okay Retired cop from the '80s and another one that's on the lam are working a case together.
That makes perfect sense.
Well, in Dan logic, it does.
Okay, well, if you're such an expert on Dan logic, where are they headed now? Second kidnapping of Andrew Davis.
Hey, we're closed.
Yeah? I thought it was happy hour.
How you feeling, franko? Oh, I'm pretty happy.
Yeah, me too.
I'm thrilled.
Hey, I know you.
Yeah.
Remember me? What do you want? We're asking the questions.
You the son of a bitch that slipped a Mickey in my sacred suds? I'm not talking.
Frank, you want to get this guy in the mood for a little conversation? Absolutely.
Oh! Man! Man.
Hey, Frank, don't forget to check out that fancy jukebox.
No, come on.
Come on, brother.
Come on, now.
Ooh! Come on, take Take a gander at that.
Looks more like a computer machine to me.
Hey, man, no, no, no.
Come on, no, no! Please don't! Wait, wait, I'll talk! I'll talk, okay? Who you working with? These guys.
Now, they give me free marijuana for my migraines.
And I help them out, man.
I was stupid.
You make me sick.
Oh! Come on, now! Why's he doing that?! I'm talking! [ Laughs .]
Hey, okay.
Settle down, frankenstein.
Take take a break for a sec.
[ Glass shatters .]
Aww.
Okay, migraine, tell me the name of these characters.
Brody and Parker.
From California, I think.
I know those characters.
They should still be in jail.
What the hell they doing out? I guess they made bail.
Freakin' lawyers.
Used to be you busted a punk, they stayed busted! Ah.
[ Siren wails .]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
I do believe law enforcement is approaching.
I thought we were being quiet.
[ Tires screeching .]
That's Jack! That's my partner! Thank you! Hey, Frankie, hop in, hop in! All right, Andy, you're gonna have to put up your Where'd he go? [ Gun cocks .]

[ Sirens wailing .]
Dan: [ laughs .]
All right, jacko! How the hell did you find us? What happened to your arm, partner? Did you get a tattoo? No.
Got shot in the arm.
Your first sweet kiss of sizzling lead.
Frank: No! Yeah! You popped your cherry? What caliber was it? It's nice to meet you, Frank.
I-I have heard a lot about you.
[ laughs .]
Truly more than you could possibly know.
Hey, Frank and me, we figured out who set me up.
Yeah, me too Brody Wilson and Parker gray.
You busted them for possession last year, and after the bust, you found their grow space in one of the tunnels underneath the cotton bowl.
One of them used to work there.
We're heading there right now.
Help! Anybody, please help! [ Grunts .]
Help! Help! The cotton bowl? Hello?! Hello?! Help! I'm kidnapped in the cotton bowl! Dude, he's got to be in this building somewhere.
But where? Okay, backup's on its way.
We better hope that Andy's here.
Can't believe this guy actually called for he.
Yeah, that's one of his worst habits.
Ah! It's locked.
Stand back.
Ah.
Yeah, that'll work.
Andy! Andy! Andy! Oh, my lord, he must be so scared.
Are you sure he's here? Andy Davis! Frank, the key ring! Nothing gets by you, Stark.
He's here.
That's it, partner.
That's a golden clue.
Andy's here! Gates are locked.
He's on the field! Andy! Andy! Andy! Little man, make some noise! [ Indistinct shouting .]
Detective Dan?! And Detective Frank?! It's Andy! I'm up here! Andy, stay where you are! We're gonna save you, dude! That's him! Where? I don't know.
His voice is coming from everywhere.
Where is he?! Right there! There! Son of a bitch! I can get them from here.
Freeze! Police! Come on, let's go! No, no, no! Frank, you're too far away! Give me that thing.
Give me that.
No, Dan! [ Gunshots .]
Andy! Detective Dan?! Andy, up on the roof! What?! Get on the roof! I don't want to.
We'll be right there, Andy! Fine.
Why are you telling him to go up on the roof? Everest.
Everest.
Everest.
Right, okay.
We got to hurry.
Damn right we do.
Where the hell you think you're going? Come on, Dan, let me have this one.
Oh, no, Frank, it is mine! No, it's mine! What?! You don't even know what Everest is! Everest is how you took down the delcarpio brothers in '83 when they were trying to hijack that blimp.
Hot damn, Jack.
You remember that? Dan, for bter or for worse, some of this stuff seeps in, all right? Now I'm getting up on the roof.
I'll see you on the other side! All right! You sure that kid knows what he's doing? Oh, yeah.
As long as he doesn't pull a flying sherpa dung Everest, we'll be fine.
Oh, crud! Franko! Andy.
Where are you, buddy? Andy! Yee-haw! To the left! Whip it around! Whip it around! Andy, where are you? You all right? Oh! Freeze, bacon bits! Freeze! All right, come on.

Do not be ashamed if you wet yourself.
I want you to drop your weapons.
Weapons going down.
On the ground.
And 1, 2 All right, now stand up.
Now, come on.
I want to see your hands up.
Now, listen to me.
In the name of all that is holy, give me that sweet child.
Oh, you can have him.
But here's how it's gonna go down, bro.
You guys are gonna get a helicopter here for us, and we're gonna get out of here.
Is is how I believe it's gonnao down, punk.
You're gonna give me that child, and then we're gonna put your ass in jail.
Count on it.
That's what's gonna happen.
[ Gunshot .]
All right! Aah! You keep talking, and the next bullet's going in his head! That's how it's going down! All right! [ Crying .]
I'm sorry, Detective Dan and Detective Frank.
This is all my fault.
I'm so sorry.
Oh, Andy, do not go there.
No, no, no, no, Andy, don't put yourself in that now.
Do not go into a shame spiral.
That's right, son.
Stop talking and call the helicopter.
Hey, man, it's not that easy.
You know, it's like climbing Everest.
YeahEverest.
Everest.
Yeah.
Really smart.
I sign up for the most difficult part of Everest.
Stupid, Jack.
Very stupid.
I said I want you to call a helicopter for us.
And have it here within the next five minutes, or we're gonna shoot him.
Dan: I would love to call a helicopter, but I cannot do it! Why can't you call a helicopter? 'Cause I don't have a phone.
Oh, geez.
You know what? You can use mine.
Careful, careful.
Might be booby-trapped.
Careful.
I'd prefer to use an earpiece.
They say that Bluetooth? Stop talking and call a helicopter.
Okay.
Boy, I'm having trouble getting a signal here.
I'd call Murray.
That's the best guy.
Yeah, it's got to be Murray.
He's the best in town, believe me.
And Nice-looking wife, too.
Yeah, she's something.
[ laughs .]
Isn't it funny how technology is supposed to make life more convenient? It doesn't.
But we seem more impatient every day.
It speeds up! I know what you're feeling! I I understand what you're feeling.
Hang on, hang on.
There's a ring.
Murray! It's Dan Stark, and I need a helicopter a.

See you next time, governor.
Take care, buddy.
Bailey, we found a lock pick matching the descripon of the one that was stolen on one of the drug dealers.
Detective, I don't know what road you took to find that lock pick, but nice work.
Thank you, lieutenant.
Excuse me.
You know, I don't know if this is the appropriate time to tell you this, but it is good to see you again, Ana.
You are still looking very tasty.
She's smokin', isn't she? She is double-smokin'.
All right.
Thank you.
Speaking of double, how about a double-team? You up for that, honey? [ both laugh .]
Answer's still no.
Just kidding.
No, you are smokin'.
You know that.
Savage and Stark.
I don't ever want to say those two names in the same sentence again.
God help me.
How's your arm? Considering I just scaled the cotton bowl, not too bad.
You know, something that's still bothering me When they went looking for Dan, how come he wasn't in his trailer? That is a good question.
That you aren't gonna answer.
Okay.
I see.
You know, you sure take a lot of risks for him Getting shot at, scaling stadium walls, hiding him in your apartment.
He's my partner.
Seems like old times, huh? Busting punks, saving that sweet little Andy.
Yeah, buddy.
I mean, come on, Frank.
Can you honestly look me in the eye and tell me that retirement is better than this? Frank! Honey! Frank: I'm okay, baby! I'll be right there.
Just one second.
I like my li now, Stark.
I like waking up next to my wife every morning.
This is me you're talking to.
I know.
But you're in good hands now.
Here.
I wa you to have this, kid.
Take care of my partner.
Work on that 'stache.
[ laughs .]
Cynthia: Frank, I codn't understand everything you said on the phone.
What, you got into a fist fight, and you shot a gun? Yeah, but it's okay.
I feel great.
I'm sure you do, baby.
But, listen, you gave me a heart attack.
I just don't want all the old nightmares to come back no, I know, I know.
You kno the kicking, the screaming, the bed-wetting.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, it's okay.
You sobbing into your pillow It's like you're a boy.
I'm gonna be okay.
Dan: Yeah, partner.
Whew.
See you around, partner.
Looks like it's you and me, partner.
[ Sniffs .]
I think of what you've seen and what I've smelled off you.
And if facial hair could talk, I know you'd sing an opera.
So, please Lord Forgive me for what I am about to do.
[ Gun cocks .]
[ Cylinder clicking .]
[ Gunshot .]
So, this is it, huh? Well, as you can see, the buggers busted in this window right here, and they They unlocked the door, and then they just walked right on in.
[ Gun cocks, gunshot .]
Jack: Did they steal any merchandise? Them bastards got my tubular lock pick.
I got one right here, and it is a beaut.
Look at this.
Look at it.
And I'll tell you something now.
If they got a half a brain up there in their head, they can bypass most standard locking mechanisms.
That's a fact.
Hang on You're telling me some punk is walking around with the keys to the whole city? We should arrest you.
Arrest me? For what? For negligence.
For aiding and abetting punks.
I'm gonna take this with me.
Sir, everything's fine, all right? You're not gonna be arrested.
Uh, do you have a copy of your insurance for our report? Oh, yeah, yeah.
Be right back.
Oh, my lord.
Okay, what is going on? Why do you keep looking at your watch? I got a dinner date tonight with sweet little Andy.
What, Andy Davis? Andy Davis.
The ex-governor's son? Yep.
I don't want to be late, you know? He gets scared when I'm late.
Scared? But you and Frank saved him That would make him in his mid-30s.
You know, Jack, don't take this personally, but it is impossible for you to understand the bond between a sweet, angel-faced victim and the bad-ass cop who saves that sweet, sweet victim from psychotic kidnappers.
It's beyond your cosmic eggshell.
Yeah, I'll try not to take that too personally.
Oh, wha Oh, lord, look at that.
There it is.
I carry it with me.
Look at him.
Sweet little Andy.
[ Cylinder clicking .]
Now, what the hell kind of jukebox doesn't have foghat? I don't know, Detective Dan.
[ Laughs .]
I don't even know how to work this.
I think we should talk, maybe.

Oh, man, when I saw "andy," I just thought of you.
Thanks.
And I really wanted to, um Say how grateful I am to you for saving me.
Oh.
Aww! [ laughs .]
'Cause if you didn't save me, I'd still be kidnapped.
Oh, you know, you don't have to thank me.

[ Gun cocks .]
[ Cylinder clicking .]
[ Gunshot .]

Tubular.
That's rad.

Isn't that right, Dan Stark?! [ Dan snoring .]
Tubular.
[ Chuckles .]
When he wakes up, he's gonna have the gnarliest headache, man In more ways than one.
Well, hello, little piglet.
Whoa! You remember me? Detective Dan's real gun.
Andy, come over here, dude.
I need your help for a second.
What are you gonna do with that? Here, give me a finger.
What? It's just gonna hurt a little bit.
Aah! Ohh! All right.
That was my favorite finger! [ Gun cocks .]
[ Cylinder clicking .]
Oh, lord, jacko, they set me up.
I knew that beer tasted funny.
They slipped me a Mickey.
Here's what is going to happen, dad.
[ Chuckles nervously .]
Problem with the dog.
Listen, some, uh, friends from work are gonna bring you down here to the office, and we are gonna sort this thing out.
You understand me? No, man.
They'll put me in jail! [ Siren wailing .]
I've only got one choice.
I got to save Andy a second time! No, no, no.
[ Sighs .]
Reporter: Breaking news.
X 4 news has learned that Andrew Davis, the son of former Texas governor sanford Davis, has been kidnapped for the second time.
Authorities are coming that the leading suspect in this kidnapping is Dan Stark.
Dan Stark was one of the two Dallas police detectives who rescued Andrew O.
M.
G.
That's you! I don't see the resemblance.
It's so obvious.
It's the same mustache.
Dan: [ chuckles .]
F.
Y.
I.
Saying "o.
M.
G.
" Doesn't save you any time.
I don't get it.
I'm calling the cops.
I am the cops, baby! You go ahead! Call me anytime! Dan Stark was one of the two Dallas police detectives who rescued Andrew in 1985.
Woman: Andy, do you have anything to say to Detective Dan? Thank you, Detective Dan.
Sanford: Our family cannot take losing our son again.
Detective Stark, if you're watching this, please, please return our son to us.
Reporter: The suspect was last seen fleeing a laundromat by two eyewitnesses who provided a detailed description of his current appearance.
All right, people, these are the neighborhoods we should be focusing on.
Our suspect Caucasian male, medium height, unstable, bad taste in clothing, stupid mustache, also says hurtful things.
Okay, enough, Hodges! Look, this is ridiculous.
We all know Dan Stark did not kidnap Andy Davis.
Admit it, Bailey.
Your boy finally cracked.
Remember last month, the way he lost it at kempenaar's retirement party? That was his last good brain cell popping like a zit.
Hey, hey, hey! Bailey, in my office now! Look, Detective Bailey, between you d me, I know Dan did not do this.
I mean, he is a loose wire.
He's a massive, massive pain in my ass.
But he's not a kidnapper.
Well, I think he's being set up.
By who? There was no sign of forced entry into the trailer.
I was taking a look at Andy Davis' records.
The guy's been arrested a dozen times.
Each time, his ex-governor dad got him off the hook.
He obviously runs with some shady people.
How much do you want to bet it's one of those guys that kidnapped Andy? If the commissioner sees me pursuing this case with anything less than full vigor, I will lose my job.
I understand.
Okay, so we will both go on doing our jobs.
I will be leading the team looking for Dan, and you will go on searching for the locksmith thieves.
And if that case leads you down certain roads and I don't know about them, I couldn't stop you from doing tha right? I will get to the bottom of this, lieutenant.
And if facial hair could talk, I know you'd sing an opera.
So, please Lord Forgive me for what I am about to do.
[ Door closes .]
[ Sighs .]
[ Water shuts off .]
[ Clank .]
Police! Freeze! Oh, my God! Oh, my lord! No! Bad Dan! Are you out of your mind?! You don't sneak up on a man like that! Are you nuts?! You almost gave me a heart attack, Dan! And you almost gave me a heart attack, so we're even! Dan Were you about to shave your mustache? I'm like a bear caught in a trap, and it's like I-I got to gnaw my leg off just to survive.
[ Scoffs .]
You're the only person I can trust.
Partner blood it's It's thicker than brother blood.
It's It's like a meat sauce.
Jacko, I need you to run with me.
No.
I said run with me, Jack.
Dan, no.
Fine.
I get it.
[ sniffles .]
Forget about me, Jack.
We got to save sweet little Andy! What do you think I am trying to do? Dan, I can't go out on the run with you because one of us needs to use police resources to try and track him down! O-okay, wait.
How did you get into my apartment? Oh, this little locky thingy.
Worked like a charm.
You know, you're right.
We should camp out here.
What do you want? You want the bed or the couch? I'd prefer the bed.
I don't know.
My back's weird.
Dan, you can't stay here, okay? The entire city is looking for you.
[ Knock on door .]
Who's that? I don't know.
No! Come on! Come on, come on, come on! Just just be quiet.
I'll be quiet.
Liz? Hi.
Here's Andy Davis' expunged records.
I could get in a lot of trouble for that.
I hope you understand.
Understood.
Crystal clear.
Uh, so, am I just gonna keepStanding here, and you stand there, and you don't invite me in? I-I've got a date.
What? Jack, there's a woman in there? Oh, my God.
This is so awkward.
I'm sorry.
No, it's okay.
Dan: [ high-pitched .]
Jack, hurry! Come ba [ coughs .]
Come back and finish having sex with me! [ Sighs .]
That woman sounds a lot like Dan Stark.
Uh, no, it's It's not Dan.
Not Dan? No.
If Dan Stark is naked in here, I'm gonna kill myself.
No, no, he's Maybe my date left early.
[ Telephone dialing .]
Jacko.
Bloodhound here.
I just wanted to leave a message.
I am safe.
I am in the home of someone who I know will take me in and care for me.
I am with the one person in the world I can trust.
Mr.
bedard, I presume? Hey, man.
Do I know you? No.
What do you want, man? Do you want to score some weed? [ Chuckles .]
I was kidding.
You know that, right? When was the last time you saw Andy Davis? Never heard of him.
Really? Because I got some police records that state that you were busted for selling Andy Davis weed about nine months ago Expunged but not forgotten.
Oh! That Andy Davis.
[ Laughs .]
I know him.
But I haven't seen him in a long time.
Well, I'm just gonna take this Oh.
And, uh, grab this, and I'll be back in 20 minutes with a warrant.
See you soon.
Hey, man! Andy came to see me a few months ago, so I sent him over to some other dudes.
Tell me where I can find these other dudes.
Andy: We're out of cereal again.
What are you talking about? Man, get back inside.
You're supposed to be kidnapped.
What if there's, like, a cop here or something? We We'd all be in trouble.
You mean like that cop? Dude, get inside! Move! Move! Man, come on! Get down! Get down! Don't let him see you.
I don't want to get in trouble! What do I do?! What do I do?! He's getting closer! Dude, garage! [ Gunshots .]
Oh, my gosh! What are you doing?! Where did you get a gun?! Detective Dan's trailer! I don't want to get in trouble! Come on, we got to get out of here! Come on! Aah! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! In the back! Cover yourself up! You can't be seen! This was supposed to be a fake kidnapping, but it's really starting to feel like a real kidnapping.
Ugh! Stop your whining! [ Tires screeching .]
[ Horn honks .]
[ Mumbling .]
Ohh! Get up! Get your ass up, you little weasel! I'm gonna clock you! Come on! Stark.
Dan Stark, what the hell are you doing here? It is a long story.
God.
You look like hell.

Sit down.
Bailey, one of the great perks of my job is I usuly don't have to deal with dettives in property crimes, yet here I am.
I wish it was under better circumstances, sir.
So do I.
Now, the way I see it, you got two choices.
You can impress me, or you can disappoint me.
You find your partner, I'm impressed, and you're on my radar for the right reasons.
With all due respect, sir, Dan Stark did not do this.
Oh, right.
Yes.
It was the, uh, phantom drug dealers, the ones whose names you couldn't get.
My question is, what's the motive? I mean, why go through all that trouble just to frame a broke-down, washed-up Detective? I'm afraid I don't have an answer to that, sir.
This is pretty thin.
Well, what's Dan's motive, sir? Excuse me? Why would Dan kidnap a guy that he saved 25 years ago? That's your job to figure out.
Now, lieutenant ruiz tells me that you are an ambitious young man and that you have a tendency to run your mouth to your superiors.
That's clearly true.
But I can't think of a better way for you to advance your career than to make a high-profile arrest like this one.
By the way, ballistics report came back on your little shootout.
The bullet that hit you came from your partner's gun.
[ Door closes .]
Dan shot you? That's what the ballistics say.
I mean, all the evidence points to Dan, but I know Dan.
Dan would not do this.
He's my partner, all right? I trust him with my life.
It's like I'm the ly guy in all of Dallas that doesn't want Dan Stark to go to jail.
I don't want him going to jail, either.
Ife goes to jail, I got six cases on my docket that are busted.
What? How so? Well, he's the arresting officer.
If this gets pinned on him, pretty much a slam dunk for the defense.
That's it.
What? That that's the motive! Whoever Dan arrested is setting him up! I need to see the case files on all six of those defendants.
I' got them in my office.
Well, then, we got to go to your office now.
Okay.
Appreciate all the stuff you're you're letting me use.
You can burn it.
Come on, Cynthia.
Is this still about that toast I made at the wedding? Oh, you mean the one where you congratulated me on being Frank's lucky 100th? Yeah.
It's a compliment.
Oh, yes.
I know.
Well, thank you.
You won the turkey shoot, baby.
Let it go.
[ Chuckles .]
Listen, uh I've stayed away for 25 years, and I would just appreciate a moment to say goodbye to my My old partner, one on one.
Okay.
You have three minutes.
Then I'm calling the cops.
Yes, ma'am [ sighs .]
Okay, here's what, Frankie.
This is serious.
We are the only two that can save sweet little Andy again.
I'm not in the saving business anymore, Dan.
I have moved on.
A real cop doesn't move on, Frank.
You know that.
You're gonna have to go now, Danny.
I'm sorry.
All right.
Let me just ask you one more question.
If you have moved on, how come you're still sporting that bitchin' 'stache? [ Siren wailing .]
Oh, come on.
What the Did you call the cops? Yes, I did.
I thought you said three minutes.
I lied.
You Guys, can I please go home now? This is boring, guys! [ Bubble wrap popping .]
Brahs, c-could I have a magazine, maybe? I'm almost out of bubble wrap, guys! Dude's voice is driving me nuts, making me want to kill myself! And then kill him! I'd really like to go home now, guys! I mean, ahs.
Hello?! Hello?! Wait a second.
I just had an idea that might just save ourselves here.
Right now, everybody thinks Dan Stark kidnapped Danny, right? We left the ransom note.
We ran from the cops.
So what if Andy got killed with Dan Stark's gun? Think the cops will buy that? It's better than Andy talking to the cops.
[ Siren wailing .]
Okay, I got a hostage here! Frank: Don't shoot! Don't shoot! I got nothing to lose! He's serious! Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt! Come on, Stark.
Even you're not this crazy.
He's absolutely this crazy! We've got help.
There's still time.
Just drop the gun.
No way, hodge hole! You two! You two, get your guns down! [ Gunshot .]
Oh! Oh, come on, Stark! That's city property.
Come on, put them down! Do what he says! I'm freaking out! I'm freaking out here! [ Gunshot .]
Aah! How about that? Is that city property, too?! Give me keys, give me keys, give me keys, give me keys, give me keys! Aw, damn it! Give me the keys.
Give me the keys.
What are you doing? Go ahead, you can shoot him.
Get in the car.
Get in.
Go ahead.
Go on.
You've got a straight shot.
Take that! Take the bag.
Give me the gun! I'll shoot him myself! Get in there! Get in! Be strong, Cynthia! I love you! Get in the car! I love you, too, baby! I got nothing to lose! [ engine turns over .]
Stark, you son of a bitch! Oh, God.
Frank, be careful! [ Tires screeching .]
Well, go get him! Whoo-hoo! [ Both laugh .]
Take your partner hostage! I can't believe that still works! Oh, baby, it is a classic.
Oh, man, Cynthia's ticked off at me.
Well, I love that woman, but she can be a little bossy sometimes.
Don't I know it, man.
You remember the night the three of us met when we were getting into I told you never, ever To bring that up again.
You're right, Frank.
I'm sorry about that, partner.
It won't happen again.
Forget it.
[ Laughs .]
Hey, I think Stella misses her daddy.
Oh, come here, baby.
[ Smooches .]
How you been? Lonely.
[ Laughing .]
Well, partner You ready to bust some punks? I thought you'd never ask.
Whoo! Jack, I got the extra files from ?? Okay, good, because this is not working.
No, it's very precarious No, I got it, I got it.
No.
I [ clattering .]
I got it.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Look like all of Dan's upcoming trials are all drug-related.
Wait wait a minute.
The hillview motel? That was where I was shot.
Dan arrested two pot dealers at the hillview motel.
Oh, my God.
I know these guys.
This is Brody Wilson and Parker gray.
Their trial's coming up at the end of the month.
These are our guys, Liz.
Yeah.
We interrupt our programming with breaking news on the second kidnapping of Andrew Davis.
There is a stunning development.
Sources have confirmed that Detective Dan Stark broke into the home of his former partner, Frank savage, and abducted him at gunpoint.
It's the "take your partner hostage" trick.
Dan and Frank are working together.
T-they'ron the case.
Oh, okay Retired cop from the '80s and another one that's on the lam are working a case together.
That makes perfect sense.
Well, in Dan logic, it does.
Okay, well, if you're such an expert on Dan logic, where are they headed now? Second kidnapping of Andrew Davis.
Hey, we're closed.
Yeah? I thought it was happy hour.
How you feeling, franko? Oh, I'm pretty happy.
Yeah, me too.
I'm thrilled.

Yeah.
Remember me? What do you want? We're asking the questions.

Now, they give me free marijuana for my migraines.

[ Glass shatters .]
Aww.
Okay, migraine, tell me the name of these characters.

What the hell they doing out? I guess they made bail.
Freakin' lawyers.
Used to be you busted a punk, they stayed busted! Ah.
[ Siren wails .]

Got shot in the arm.
Your first sweet kiss of sizzling lead.
Frank: No! Yeah! You popped your cherry? What caliber was it? It's nice to meet you, Frank.
I-I have heard a lot about you.
[ laughs .]
Truly more than you could possibly know.
Hey, Frank and me, we figured out who set me up.
Yeah, me too Brody Wilson and Parker gray.
You busted them for possession last year, and after the bust, you found their grow space in one of the tunnels underneath the cotton bowl.

Help! Help! The cotton bowl? Hello?! Hello?! Help! I'm kidnapped in the cotton bowl! Dude, he's got to be in this building somewhere.
But where? Okay, backup's on its way.
We better hope that Andy's here.
Can't believe this guy actually called for he.
Yeah, that's one of his worst habits.
Ah! It's locked.
Stand back.
Ah.
Yeah, that'll work.
Andy! Andy! Andy! Oh, my lord, he must be so scared.
Are you sure he's here? Andy Davis! Frank, the key ring! Nothing gets by you, Stark.

That's a golden clue.
Andy's here! Gates are locked.

Damn right we do.
Where the hell you think you're going? Come on, Dan, let me have this one.
Oh, no, Frank, it is mine! No, it's mine! What?! You don't even know what Everest is! Everest is how you took down the delcarpio brothers in '83 when they were trying to hijack that blimp.
Hot damn, Jack.
You remember that? Dan, for bter or for worse, some of this stuff seeps in, all right? Now I'm getting up on the roof.
I'll see you on the other side! All right! You sure that kid knows what he's doing? Oh, yeah.

You guys are gonna get a helicopter here for us, and we're gonna get out of here.
Is is how I believe it's gonnao down, punk.

Count on it.
That's what's gonna happen.
[ Gunshot .]
All right! Aah! You keep talking, and the next bullet's going in his head! That's how it's going down! All right! [ Crying .]
I'm sorry, Detective Dan and Detective Frank.
This is all my fault.

You know, it's like climbing Everest.
YeahEverest.

Really smart.
I sign up for the most difficult part of Everest.
Stupid, Jack.
Very stupid.
I said I want you to call a helicopter for us.
And have it here within the next five minutes, or we're gonna shoot him.
Dan: I would love to call a helicopter, but I cannot do it! Why can't you call a helicopter? 'Cause I don't have a phone.
Oh, geez.
You know what? You can use mine.
Careful, careful.
Might be booby-trapped.
Careful.
I'd prefer to use an earpiece.
They say that Bluetooth? Stop talking and call a helicopter.
Okay.
Boy, I'm having trouble getting a signal here.
I'd call Murray.
That's the best guy.
Yeah, it's got to be Murray.
He's the best in town, believe me.
And Nice-looking wife, too.
Yeah, she's something.
[ laughs .]
Isn't it funny how technology is supposed to make life more convenient? It doesn't.
But we seem more impatient every day.

I don't ever want to say those two names in the same sentence again.
God help me.
How's your arm? Considering I just scaled the cotton bowl, not too bad.
You know, something that's still bothering me When they went looking for Dan, how come he wasn't in his trailer? That is a good question.
That you aren't gonna answer.
Okay.
I see.
You know, you sure take a lot of risks for him Getting shot at, scaling stadium walls, hiding him in your apartment.
He's my partner.
Seems like old times, huh? Busting punks, saving that sweet little Andy.
