Hutch: Why? (Digs into his pocket)
Starsky: I've only got 15 cents. Candy bar. If you've got another quarter you can have a candy bar too. (Catches the dime) Instant energy. (Hutch walks away) You're gonna need it pal.

Dobey: Thank you. (Leaves)
Hutch: Night, Captain.
(Cut to Jeanne's house at the beach)
Jeanie: Hutch. What happened to you? You said you'd be here two hours ago.
Hutch: I'm sorry. I meant to call you and tell you I'd be late, but Starsky and I got so busy and I just forgot.
Jeanie: I know, it's just that being alone here...I get scared Hutch. You didn't tell anyone, did you?
Hutch: Of course not.
Jeanie: Not even Starsky?
Hutch: Jeanie if I said I haven't told anybody, I haven't told anybody.
Jeanie: I miss you, Hutch. I'll be so happy when you get here.
Hutch: As soon as I get changed and cleaned up then we can (Dobey comes out to the water cooler.) I'll tell you when I get there.
Jeanie: All right, but hurry. Okay. (Hutch hangs up)
Hutch: Good night, Captain. See you slaves in a few days. Hey partner. Buy another candy bar. (Throws him some money walks out the door) Night.
Starsky: Love. It's gonna out him in the poorhouse. Buy you a candy bar, Captain?
Dobey: Suppose you just finish that report.
Hutch's house: Night.
(Hutch enters the front door, whistling happily. He turns the lights on and his gun holster in his closet. He throws the jacket on the bed. A man comes up behind him, but Hutch sees and throws him across the room. Another man comes at him and hits him over the head. Another man comes out)
Monk: Take him out the back. I'll follow you. (Together the goons pick him up and take him out back)
Secret House: Night.
(A car drives into the driver way and the goons take Hutch out of the back seat and drag him into the house.)
Jeanie's place: night
(She's asleep on the sofa and is awoken by the phone.)
Jeanie: Hutch? No. No, you have the wrong number. (She hangs up and looks at her watch. She rings Hutch, but it only rings) Hutch. Hutch, where are you?
Secret House: Night
(Tom backhands Hutch across the face, while he's tied to a chair and blindfolded.)
Monk: Where is she Hutchinson?
Hutch: I'm Starsky. I don't know what you're talking about.
Monk: Don't be stupid Hutchinson. She's only a broad. You tell us where she is you wake up in your own bed tomorrow morning like nothing happened.
Hutch: I don't know what you're talking about.
Monk: Do it, Tom.
(Monk leaves and enters another room where Forest is standing with his back to Monk)
Forest: (Turns round) How's it going?
Monk: Nobody saw us take him, we have his car outside in the garage, but he's not gonna tell us anything.
Forest: Why, just because he's a cop he's different? He's gonna tell us where she is.
Monk: Why don't you...why don't you just forget it. You can get any dame you want.
Forest: Jeanie is special, Monk. She belongs to me. You understand that?
Monk: Yes sir (Nods) But we snatched a cop. That's ain't smart.
Forest: Monk, he's the only one who can tell us where she is.
Tom: Hello, Mr. Forest. Out cold. He's a tough monkey.
Monk: Look, he hasn't seen any of us. He doesn't know anything. Why don't we just dump him and forget it.
Forest: No, we don't dump him, we don't forget it. (Throws a box to Monk) We juice him. (Monk opens it to find a heroin kit)
Monk: OD?
Forest: How come you're always wrong? We don't overdose him. We string him out. We get him hung up on horse. Pretty soon he's gonna beg us to tell us where she is.
Monk: That's gonna take away.
Forest: So it takes time. Plenty more where that stuff came from. Go on, get started.
(Cut to the back room, a spoon his heated over a candle and then the drug is pulled into a syringe. Tom unties Hutch's hands and holds his arm stead while Monk puts a tube around his bicep. Hutch struggles but Tom and another keeps his steady.)
Monk: You got one more chance, where is she?
Hutch: Stuff it.
(Monk injects the heroin and Hutch struggles, but then goes limp)
Monk: There you go, cop. The first mile on a long, long trip.

(Starsky walks past Dobey's office.)
Dobey: Starsky
Starsky: (Mouth full) Morning Captain
Dobey: Get in here. (Starsky enters) It's the middle of the afternoon, where's that partner of yours?
Starsky: He had days off, Captain.
Dobey: His days off ended this morning. Now suppose you stop covering for him, get your tail on the horn and tell him I said to get his rear end in here.
Starsky: Truth is, Captain, he's sick.
Dobey: He didn't report in sick.
Starsky: Well, you know how it is, he's in love.
Dobey: What you mean is he's shacked up.
Starsky: Yeah, well, ah, she is a pretty girl, Captain.
Dobey: You tell him, I want him in here in one hour and ready for duty. You tell him that.
Starsky: There's only on problem, Captain.
Dobey: What' that?
Starsky: I don't know where he is to tell him that. (Starsky leaves, closing the door.)

Hutch: You crazy creeps.
Monk: Yeah, yeah
Hutch: I'm not gonna tell you anything.
Monk: Another day of this he'll have a regular ladder. I can't find a vain. (Flicks the skin til he finds one) There. (Injects the stuff and they lower Hutch to the bed)
Tom: Look at him; he took to that stuff like a baby to a bottle. Hey, come on, baby. Wanna tell us where little mummy is, huh?
Monk: It's when he doesn't get it is when he'll talk. (Takes off the blindfold and shines a torch in Hutch's eyes.) I figure another day of this.
The Pits: Day
(Huggy is playing at the pinball machine while Starsky has a beer and watches)
Huggy: No I haven't seen him. What's the problem?
Starsky: He was due back on duty this morning and didn't show. I figure he's just stretching his time off.
Huggy: Yeah, you know Hutch. It must be some foxy lady.
Starsky: Yeah. Well, I checked her apartment. She hasn't been there for over a week.
Huggy: Checked whose apartment?
Starsky: Jeanie Waldon. You know her.
Huggy: Do I know her? Hutch brings her in here about two months ago and cons me into putting her on. Yeah, she was good too and then one night she had Hutch takes off out the back way, right in the middle of heavy trade. "Goodbye Huggy" That's all she said and they're both gone. Biff bam thank you ma'am. Looked like she'd seen a ghost or something. That chick was pretty uptight that night.
Starsky: You hear from her you let me know, okay. (Finishes off his beer)
Huggy: Sure, hey, do me a favor? When you see Hutch, you tell him that he owes me one good waitress.
Starsky: Yeah.
(Huggy finishes his game and loses)
Huggy: Ahhh.

Starsky: I tell ya, he's gone.
Dobey: No, he isn't. He's off on a date with a beautiful girl, to use your words.
Starsky: Captain, you don't understand.
Dobey: What do you mean I don't understand?
Starsky: I found his gun back in his apartment.
Dobey: Do you take your gun out with you when you go on a date?
Starsky: Hutch wouldn't visit his mother without his gun.
Dobey: All right, Starsky, settle down. (Starsky sits down) What do you think happened to him?
Starsky: I don't know.
Dobey: What do you know about that girl?
Starsky: I know her name, I know where she lives.
Dobey: And?
Starsky: I can't find her either.
Dobey: Well, what do you want to do about it?

Forest: Hey, cop, what's your name?
Hutch: I need some help. Some help.
Forest: What's your name? (Slaps Hutch) What's your name?
Hutch: Hutchinson! What's yours, you lousy creep? Give me...give me...some help.
Forest: That's fantastic, huh? What a little change in body chemistry can do.
Hutch: Get out of here. Get out of here, leave me alone.
Forest: Sure, baby, we'll get out of here. (They turn to leave)
Hutch: (Crawls over to them) Don't go. You gotta help, don't go.
Forest: Hey, where's Jeanie Waldon? Where's Jeanie Waldon, huh? What did you do with her? Jeanie Waldon, where is she?

Hutch: Seaview-Seaview point-point
Forest: Seaview point.
Hutch: (Trying to stand) Don't go. Don't go. Don't leave me.
Outside a bar: Night
(The Torino parks outside a bar, Starsky gets out and runs up to a small man with a cigarette.)
Starsky: Hold it Mickey.
Mickey: Hey, hey, Starsky. What's happening, huh?
Starsky: You tell me.
Mickey: Not here, not here. Inside. (Starsky pushes him inside, where he guides Mickey to an empty booth) I hear-I hear you've been asking around about your partner, huh? Huh?
Starsky: You know something Mickey. Come on.
Mickey: Nothing, honest. Nothing. (Waitress comes over) Hey, a beer. I'll have a beer.
Starsky: (Sits down) Mickey, you owe me. You know damn well you owe me.
Mickey: Starsky, I ain't heard a thing. Honest. (Pause) Come on, come on, what're you looking at?
Starsky: Nothing. Just trying to figure out how much I believe you and what I'm going to do to you if I find out you were lying.
Mickey: Starsky, honest. I mean if I knew anything, I'd tell ya. (His beer arrives and Starsky pays for it, but keeps it out of reach)
Starsky: Okay. Fifty.
Mickey: Come on, come on. You know I can't take that. Fifty bucks? I know I'd if her half of that if I-if I knew anything. Come on, honest. (Starsky gives Mickey his beer back and the money. He gets up to leave)
Starsky: Mickey
Mickey: What?
Starsky: I'm gonna find Hutch. One way or the other I'm gonna find him and if I ever found out you were lying you're gonna have to find a whole new city to drink in. Got that?
Mickey: Yeah (Starsky leaves while Mickey drinks)
Seaview Point: Night
(Jeanie is asleep on the couch, she's awoken by a car and she gets up expecting it to be Hutch. When Forest and Monk enters she covers herself up with her blanket)
Forest: Hiya baby.
Jeanie: How'd you find me?
Forest: Where do you go when you lose something? You go to the cops. Even a cop named Hutch.
Jeanie: You're lying. He wouldn't tell you. (Pause) What did you do to him?
Forest: You'll see baby. (He touches her cheek) You'll see.
The Secret House: Unknown
(Hutch is lying on the bed, his hands tied with rope, possibly high. Monk brings in Jeanie and orders his men out)
Jeanie: Hutch...oh my God. (She sits on the bed and caresses his face)
Hutch: Whoops. Somebody must have tied me up. (Jeanie takes off the rope) You gonna untie me?
Jeanie: Oh Hutch. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry (Starts crying. Forest enters) Oh Hutch.
Forest: All right, baby, that's enough.
Jeanie You'll let him go.
Forest: Sure. Didn't I promise you? It'll be like old times. He'll stay alive.
Jeanie: You let him go. (Forest nods)
Hutch: Beautiful.
Jeanie: (Gets up and walks past Forest) I'll be anything you want.
(Outside the room Monk, Tom and the other goons are waiting. Forest gives monk a stare.)
Forest: (To Jeanie) Let's split
Monk: Let's get this over with.
(Outside Forest and Jeanie get in his car and drive off. A second later Monk, Tom and the goon leave with Hutch)
Tom: He ain't even gonna know what hit him, even when he hits the water.
Monk: Get in.
Tom: What's the matter, Monk? It ain't like we never iced nobody before.
Monk: We've never killed a cop. Get in
(They throw Hutch in the back, Monk gets in the drivers seat and Tom waits for the car to drive out a little to get in. They drive)
Tom: If you take Ninth, you can hit the freeway to the harbor.
Monk: I'll drive. You just keep your eye on him.
Tom: (Looks back at Hutch) Like a baby. Where do you figure, Monk.
Monk: Off the point. The water's deep. The current oughta carry that body out about 200 miles.
Tom: By then, he oughta be sharks bait.
(Hutch suddenly kicks the goon in the back in the face and Monk is forced to stop on the curb. Hutch stubbles his way down the street and across the road, bumping into people and cars. Monk gets out to follow, but changes his mind and gets back in the car. Hutch continues to run into people as he stumbles along. Two uniformed policeman sat in a car notice him)
Bernie: Hey, isn't that that Detective? Yeah Hutchinson, there's a 'missing officer' out on him. Call it in. (Gets out to follow Hutch who heads down an alley)
Bernie's partner: All units, missing officer sighted... (Starsky hears on the radio) Detective Hutchinson, corner of Elm and second. We are in pursuit.
(Hutch collapses in an alley, while the Torino screeches to a stop next to the police car, Starsky holding his badge out the window)
Starsky: Where is he?
Bernie's Partner: In there.
(Starsky drives down the alley where Bernie is leaning over a twitching Hutch. Starsk runs to his side.)
Starsky: hutch, you crazy...
Bernie: He's your partner, isn't he?
Starsky: Yeah. (Looks at Hutch's muddy face and wide eyes. Rolls up his sleeve)
Bernie: My God. He's a junkie. (Hutch falls into Starsky's lap)
Starsky: Shut up, huh? I'll handle it.
Bernie: I gotta make a report.
Starsky: (Grabs Bernie) No report. This didn't happen, Bernie. Understand. This didn't happen. (Bernie nods) I'll take responsibility. (Nods again) Thanks. Give me a hand. (Drags Hutch to his feet) Come on, Hutch. Come on. Up. (They carry Hutch to the car.)
The Pits: Day.
(Huggy sets up a pot of coffee and cups on a tray.)
Huggy: Diane, hold down the bar for me for a minute, huh?
Diane: Okay, Huggy.
(Upstairs in Huggy's back room, Starsky and Hutch are on the bed, Starsky's trying to get Hutch on his lap)
Starsky: Come on up. It's okay.
Hutch: Jeanie. Jeanie.
Starsky: Yeah, Jeanie. (Hutch is shaking) Take it easy pal. (Huggy enters)
Hutch: Starsky, I need something.
Starsky: Yeah, okay. (Give me some coffee.)
Huggy: Man, he's hurting.
Hutch: Where's my medicine. Give me my medicine.
Huggy: Give him this. (Hands Starsky a cup of coffee)
Starsky: Watch out now, it's hot. (Huggy takes off Hutch's shoes.) Come on, easy, easy, easy. Easy (Forces Hutch to drink) Easy, come on. (Hutch can't swallow it) Hold on to it, Hutch, come on, hold on to it. Come on, hold on to it. (Huggy dabs his forehead) Hey, another cup of coffee for you. Come on.
Hutch: Need some help.
Starsky: How about some coffee, huh? (Hutch knocks the cup away.) Come on now.
Huggy: Nothing but sweat and pain for the next 48 hours.
Starsky: Come on, Hutch.
Huggy: Starsky, tell me how? Who?
Starsky: They tied his wrists, pumped him full of stuff. Somehow he got away. (Hutch spasms) It's okay, boy, it's okay. Easy. (To Huggy) They're gonna come looking for him, whoever they are. Now nobody knows where he is, except you and me, got that?
Huggy: How about Captain Dobey?
Starsky: I'll call Dobey. Hey, bring me some coffee, huh? A lot of sugar. (Huggy does what he's told) Lots. (To Hutch) It's okay. It's okay, I'm right here.
Hutch: Starsky, give me some help.
Starsky: I'm right here, boy. I'm right here. You're gonna make it, ya big Lummox. (He laughs, but then looks like he's about to cry.)
Forest's House: Day
(Jeanie lies on a air mattress floating in the pool looking unhappy. Forest and Monk sit at a table)
Forest: You are a jerk. You're a stupid jerk.
Monk: You got the girl. Why don't you let it go?
Forest: That cop is running around out there. You want me to let him go?
Monk: He didn't see or hear anything.
Forest: He knows about Jeanie, doesn't he?
Monk: He was so far gone he doesn't even remember his own name.
Forest: I'm talking about his memory. I want you to take him out. Me and Jeanie are gonna leave town for a couple of days. When I come back I want him gone and if you can't do it I'm gonna find somebody who can. (Monk leaves)
The Pits: Night.
(Starsky and Hutch are playing checkers, but Hutch isn't enjoying it. When Starsky takes his go Hutch sweeps the board away.)
Hutch: You wanna help me, help me. Come on, do something. (Grabs Starsky while his back is to the door) You know where the stuff is. (Hits the wall splitting the wallpaper. He paces.) Get a candy bar. (Starsky hands him on from his pocket)
Starsky: You're not gonna be able to keep it down.
(A knock on the door, it's Huggy)
Huggy: How's my patient? (Quietly to Starsky) Dig. There was a john downstairs asking about Jeanie and Hutch and waving fifty's around like a flag and another dude sitting outside in a car in a LTD Sedan, dark colour and this is the license plate number.
Starsky: Okay, look. Get Dobey at home, huh? His number is 555-6772.
Huggy: Okay, you're not looking so good yourself.
Starsky: All right. (Hutch makes a break fro the door. Starsky struggles to keep him back)
Hutch: I want some candy. I just want some candy. I just want some candy. Just let me out.
Starsky: I can remember a man who hated candy.
Hutch: Oh shut up!
Starsky: Now, that's the Hutch I know, huh? (Hutch rests his head on Starsky's shoulder)
Huggy: (On the phone) Hello. Yeah may I speak to Captain Dobey please?
Starsky: Yeah, you got a ways to go, huh. Come on. Come on. (Hutch walks away and sweeps everything off the desk)
Huggy: Starsky?
Starsky: What?
Huggy: His son says Dobey and his wife went out for the evening. You wanna leave a message.
Starsky: Tell them I'll call later.
Huggy: Detective Starsky will call back later.
Huggy: Need anything else? (Hutch sits on a chair)
Starsky: Yeah bring me some coffee and some more candy.
Huggy: Right. (Leaves. Starsky sits on a chair opposite Hutch)
Starsky: You feel like talking?
Hutch: No.
Starsky: Good. Who were they?
Hutch: I don't know.
Starsky: What did they want?
Hutch: (Angry) I don't know. If you wanna help me. Be my friend, help me.
Starsky: (Calm) what did they want?
Hutch: Jeanie. They wanted Jeanie. I-I think I told them where she was.
Starsky: Okay.
Hutch: I don't know.
Starsky: It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. Hey. How many different voices did you hear?
Hutch: Three or four.
Starsky: Names.
Hutch: I don't know.
Starsky: Names.
Hutch: I don't... (Shouting) come on, Starsky.
Starsky: Names.
Hutch: Monk
Starsky: Who?
Hutch: Monk. Monk.
A Restaurant: Day
(Monk is at a table, alone. Tom enters and joins him)
Monk: Well?
Tom: A big, fat zero. And I been up and down the street twice.
Monk: And Starsky?
Tom: Nobody's seen him for more than 24 hours. (A waiter brings Monk his food) He was making the streets looking for Hutch. Since then...I tell you, if Starsky found him he could be anywheres. Maybe in a hospital...even a police station.
Monk: No, no. Starsky would never let anybody know that his partner's strung out. He's probably helping him kick it some place and it's a cinch he knows somebody's looking for Hutch. (Pause) And Starsky's looking for us. So I tell you what we're gonna do. We're gonna help him.
Tom: How?
Monk: I want you to noise it around on the street that you know who strung his partner out.
Tom: What, are you crazy, Monk?
Monk: No, listen to me; I know what I'm doing. I want you to get a hold of that...
Tom: Mickey:
Monk: Yeah, Mickey. That street stoolie. He'd sell his old lady for 10 bucks.
Tom: Okay.
Monk: And maybe. Just maybe we ice both Starsky and Hutch and Mr. Forest'll give us a Christmas bonus.
The Pits: Day
(Hutch is asleep on the bed sitting up while Starsky's asleep on the chair. He wakes up and looks at Hutch and then his watch. He goes over to the phone, sits down on the floor and dials a number, watching Hutch the whole time.)
Starsky: Starsky. Captain Dobey, please.
(Dobey's sat in his office when the phone rings, he answers it)
Dobey: Captain Dobey.
Starsky: Morning. Well, I think the patient's gonna survive.
Dobey: Well, Starsky, that's good. Maybe I ought to recommend you for a transfer to rescue.
Starsky: Yeah, well, it's gonna be another 24 hours. He's as weak as a kitten right now. Look, Captain, I need a DMV read on license JNJ322. It belongs to some fink who came around asking about Hutch. I had it last night, but I didn't want to talk to anybody about the problem except you.
Dobey: You want me to have an officer run that down.
Starsky: No, thanks. I just want to find out who owns it. Captain, it's important, but it's mine.
Dobey: I'm gonna put you on hold. (Puts Starsky on hold.) DMV, please. Read-out.
(Huggy enters with a tray of coffee and Hutch wakes up)
Huggy: Good morning. Nectar or is it ambrosia? I never know which is which.
Starsky: Huggy, you're beautiful.
Huggy: I know, but you and Hutch look awful.
(Dobey switches back)
Dobey: Starsky?
Starsky: Yeah?
Dobey: On your John-Nellie-John-322. (Starsky starts to write) ...Allen "Monk" Philos...nine-niner-one-five Merchamer Street.
Starsky: Thanks, Captain.
Dobey: Starsky?
Starsky: Yeah?
Dobey: Good work.
Starsky: Yeah. (Hangs up. To Hutch) Welcome back.
Hutch: There's such a thing as a mercy killing.
Starsky: Well, I would've let you slip off except, Huggy would never have forgiven me.
Huggy: That's right. Hey, you feel like a wash-up? I went by your place and picked up some clothes. They're in the bathroom.
Hutch: Thanks. (Heads to the bathroom. Starsky gets up)
Huggy: Hey, where do you think you're going?
Starsky: Hunting? (Puts on his other shoe)
Huggy: Hunting? A bear gets a look at you and he'll die of fright.
Starsky: Yeah. Keep an eye on him. I'll check in later. (Leaves. Huggy sits on the bed and the phone rings)
Huggy: Hello?
Dobey: Hello, is this Huggy?
Huggy: Speaking.
Dobey: Captain Dobey here. I'd like to speak to Starsky please?
Huggy: Oh sorry, Captain. He just stepped out.
Dobey: Well, I don't know how this guy figures into this but tell him Mickey called. By the way, Huggy, do you know him?
Huggy: Yeah, I know him. He's Starsky's fink, but he's not above playing both ends, you know?
Dobey: Well, Mickey says he's got information regarding Hutch. Tell Starsky that, huh?
Huggy: Right, Captain I'll tell him as soon as he comes in.
Dobey: And also, Huggy. I appreciate what you're going for my boys.
(A shot of the Torino driving down the streets, passed a sleeping man with a bottle in his hands)
The Pits: Day
(Hutch comes out of the bathroom in a fresh pair of trousers)
Huggy: Well, well, well.
Hutch: Thanks for the razor. It was dull. (Throws his old clothes on the floor)
Huggy: Dull? Sure.
Hutch: Where's Starsky?
Huggy: He split. Then I get a call from Captain Dobey saying that Mickey, some cat named Mickey's trying to get in touch with him.
Hutch: (Puts on his top) Mickey?
Huggy: Yeah. Yeah, claims he had some word to do with you.
Hutch: Well, he's usually reliable. (Puts on his shoes) You wanna call me a cab.
Huggy: You're not going nowhere.
Hutch: Huggy, do you mind calling me a cab?
Huggy: Okay, you're a cab, but you're still not leaving here.
Hutch: I'm gonna need to borrow some money and I'll take a gun if you got one.
Huggy: Hutch, you out of your mind. You can't even tie your own shoes and you know I don't keep no gun.
Hutch: (Stands up) Huggy, the cab. (Huggy hands him some money)
Huggy: Cab. (He goes to the phone to call a cab.)
A Bar: Day
(Mickey is sat at the bar drinking his drink with Tom sat next to him)
Tom: It doesn't look like he's coming.
Mickey: You don't know Starsky. He'll be here, believe it.
Tom: Okay. I better call Monk. (Goes over to the pay phone)
(Outside Hutch gets out of a cab, pays the driver and goes into the bar. Inside Mickey is now sat at a table. Tom sees him and picks up the phone again. Hutch takes a seat)
Hutch: Hey Mickey.
Mickey: Hey, hey, Hutch. Hey, what-what happened to you?
Hutch: The word is that you can tell me.
Mickey: Yeah? Well, you look-you look okay, but something about you. You look sick, man, or something.
(Tom hangs up the phone and puts money in the jukebox)
Hutch: You had something to tell my partner. I'm listening.
Mickey: Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh, Here's-here's the scam.
The Streets: Day
(Starsky is cruising the streets and stops by Monk's house. He drives back and parks on the corner. He watches Monk run out of his house and into his car. He drives off and Starsky follows. A bulldozer drives in front of Starsky, blocking his way)
Starsky: Back up! Get that thing out of the way.
Man: How about taking a flying jump into the road.
Starsky: Police! Now get that thing out of here or I'll haul you in for obstructing justice and creating a public nuisance. (The bulldozer backs up and Starsky turns the corner, but he's lost Monk. The radio goes)
Dobey: Zebra Three, Zebra Three, this is Dobey. Starsky, what's happening with Mickey?
Starsky: Say again, Captain, I lost you.
Dobey: I sent word to Huggy's that Mickey had a message for you. Did you get it?
Starsky: Got it now. (Drives away with the siren on)
The Bar: Day
(Mickey and Hutch are still at the table.)
Mickey: So that's-that's the whole scam Hutch. Honest.
Hutch: (Looks tired) Hey, listen, scum I want it straight and I want it fast.
Mickey: Hey, hey, Hutch, take it easy, huh? (Hutch's vision is blurring.) I mean, you don't look so good. Tell you want, let me-let me call a doctor. (Gestures to Tom.) Yeah, let me help you Hutch. (Tom picks Hutch up by his arms.) It's okay Hutch. (Tom takes him out back)
Hutch: I'm all right. (Tom takes him out the back of the bar)
Tom: Sure, sure, you're fine, pally.
Hutch: Let me go, let me go.
Tom: Sure.
Hutch: I'm tired
Tom: We're gonna fix you right up. (He leans Hutch up against a wall) One beautiful pop and your troubles will be over.
Hutch: Where are we going?
Tom: Dreamland, pally, dreamland. I got the ticket for you right here.
(Tom tries to get his gun out, but Hutch head butts him in the stomach, knocking him down and Hutch is off. Meanwhile Monk's car drives into the alleyway. Hutch is trapped between the car and Tom so he climbs on top of a fence and the car crashes into some bins. From the other end the Torino comes down, Tom fires at it, but he's run over. Monk gets out and fires at the Torino while Starsky takes cover. He opens the passenger door with his foot and Monk fires at it, breaking the window while Starsky gets his gun out, opens the driver's door, slides out and shoots Monk down. Starsky gets out, keeping his gun on Monk, jumps over the car and looks up at Hutch on top of the fence. He laughs.)
Hutch: What's so funny?
Starsky: You want me to send out for lunch or are you gonna come down from there, huh? (Hutch rolls to the side and Starsky keeps him from falling) Come on, Partner.
(Hutch manages to get down from the fence and into Starsky's arms.)
Forest's House: Day
(Forest and Jeanie approach the car with their luggage. Forest stops Jeanie at the car)
Forest: Come on, baby, be happy. (Pause) You know what the trouble with you is, baby? You're trying to be something you're not. You and me, we're not gonna change. The sooner you get that through your head the better.
(The Torino comes up the drive way, stops in front of the car and Hutch is the first one out. Starsky has his gun on Forest)
Hutch: Go on, Forest, try it.
Forest: Hey, what is this? (Hutch takes his gun and throws him on the hood of the car. Starsky searches him) what are the charges here?
Starsky: Don't bore me with the details. Your man sung like a stuck canary. So, be a good boy, huh?
Jeanie: Hutch, you all right?
Forest: Hey, Jeanie, tell him about Vegas. Tell him about everything. (Starsky drags him to the Torino) Do you think he'll want you then?
(Jeanie and Hutch look at each other and then embrace.)
Jeanie: Oh, Hutch. (The stay together and then break)
Hutch: You stay here and I'll be back after we book him.
Jeanie: No, I-I won't be here. There's too much between us. Forest...what I was before.
Hutch: Jeanie...
Jeanie: Look what happened to you because of me. (Pause) Look, look I'll be back. You can't get rid of me.
Hutch: No. If we're gonna end it...we're gonna end it. You won't be back
Jeanie: And you won't come look for me either, will you?
Hutch: No, no. (There's a long moment where they just stare at each other, Hutch's hand on her cheek and she's about to cry. The separate, Hutch goes back to the car, where Starsky's stood.)
Starsky: You okay?
Hutch: Yeah.
Starsky: Wanna drive my car? (Hutch laughs.)
The End
