Before he can graduate, cocky high school student Michael Corben (Richard Grieco) travels to France on a school trip to earn a missing French credit. But when a British intelligence agent mistakes Michael for a spy of the same name, they rush him to headquarters and assign him to capture the evil Augustus Steranko (Roger Rees), using a plethora of espionage gadgetry. Michael has the time of his life -- until he crosses paths with two assassins (Tom Rack, Carole Davis) who want him dead.

00:00:00Police officers, everybody moves, everybody stay quiet, everybody stay healthy.
00:00:15What is going on here?

00:00:20What are you doing?
00:00:21Sit her down.
00:00:23Sit over here now.
00:00:24Let's go.
00:00:24What about?
00:00:26Fine.
00:00:27Bitch.
00:00:27Somebody talk to me or get the hell out.
00:00:30Where is he?
00:00:31Oh, what are you talking about?
00:00:33Him.
00:00:34Jerry.
00:00:35His real name is John Hawkins.
00:00:36He's wanted for first degree murder.
00:00:37Now, where is he?
00:00:39I don't know.
00:00:40But you know him.
00:00:42Know him?
00:00:43Honey, I just spent the best three nights of my life with him.
00:01:00I'll take that, sir.
00:01:07See you.
00:01:08No.
00:01:08See you.
00:01:09Let's go.
00:01:39You almost know where you keep moving
00:01:41So I'm so sad
00:01:43The fire's in your eyes
00:01:45So you can make me turn around and say
00:01:48Give me your push under
00:01:50Just to get a ride
00:01:54Are you hard to dance?
00:01:56Get me in the bed
00:01:58My first time is wet
00:02:00Why you say what you get?
00:02:02Why you want to get?
00:02:04You got me in the bed
00:02:06My first time is wet
00:02:08Why you say what you get?
00:02:10Na-na-na-na-na
00:02:12Na-na-na-na
00:02:14Na-na-na-na
00:02:16Na-na-na-na-na
00:02:18Jerry's putting on the squeeze
00:02:20How long has he been on this one?
00:02:22Uh, 15 minutes maybe
00:02:24The fastest guy I've ever seen
00:02:38There you go
00:02:48I suppose I should ask you your name
00:02:52Christopher, Christopher Taylor
00:02:54My friends call me Chris
00:02:56Well Chris
00:02:58Is it your place or mine?
00:03:00Let's go
00:03:02All right
00:03:04Look at the car
00:03:06Check it out
00:03:08Get around the back
00:03:10I got it
00:03:12Go
00:03:14No place
00:03:16Check my car
00:03:18What, is someone after you?
00:03:32They're all after me
00:03:34So far America's most wanted
00:03:36Has caught more than a hundred criminal fugitives
00:03:38Tonight with your help
00:03:40We'd like to make it three more
00:03:42So if you've seen any of the men we've profiled this evening
00:03:44I'm not in Glendale, Captain
00:03:46I'm in Washington, D.C.
00:03:47I know
00:03:48I'll be back in time
00:03:50Sure
00:03:52I gotta go
00:03:54Detective Peter Stanford
00:03:56Lance Heffler?
00:03:57There you go
00:03:58Bullet, huh?
00:04:00Yeah
00:04:01I guess that sends a message
00:04:03Will, uh...
00:04:04Will Mr. Walsh be joining us?
00:04:05We're having kind of a crisis day here
00:04:07Maybe you can stick around for a while
00:04:08I can't
00:04:09Excuse me?
00:04:10Well, I came on the standby
00:04:11And I'm leaving on the red eye
00:04:12It's cheaper that way
00:04:13Mr. Walsh
00:04:18It's one way to get my attention
00:04:20Detective Peter Stanford
00:04:21I've been chasing a world-class fugitive for six months now
00:04:24With no budget
00:04:25I need your help
00:04:26You put him in the national crime computer?
00:04:28You bet
00:04:29So the FBI knows about him
00:04:31The FBI is not exactly jumping up and down
00:04:33To help a homicide squad from Glendale, California
00:04:36Why should we?
00:04:38Because you've been there, sir
00:04:40You know what it's like to have something stick in your craw
00:04:43To where you can't eat, you can't sleep
00:04:46Look, detective
00:04:47It's been over eight years since my little boy disappeared
00:04:50And it's never stopped hurting
00:04:54I'm sorry about your sin
00:04:57And I hope with all my heart that you catch the son of a bitch that murdered him
00:05:00John Hawkins is getting away with murder, too
00:05:03All right, detective
00:05:05Who is this guy?
00:05:07Who is he?
00:05:10Bradley Bryant
00:05:11Jerry Carlson
00:05:13Chris Taylor
00:05:14He's whoever he wants to be
00:05:16He grew up in Vegas
00:05:17His mom was a casino dealer
00:05:18I'm telling you this kid was born to hustle
00:05:20Gay, straight, whichever way the wind blows
00:05:23Whichever suits his fancy
00:05:24Who's fancy?
00:05:4690 degrees left
00:05:47Cover girl with the big brown eyes
00:05:51She wants you to take care of her
00:05:52Okay
00:05:57What's it gonna be?
00:05:59What do you got?
00:06:00Cains, blues, turks
00:06:03Who name it?
00:06:04I don't need drugs
00:06:06Okay
00:06:08What about you and me this weekend in the Hamptons?
00:06:11Hmm, are you an actor?
00:06:13Uh-huh
00:06:14Where are you from?
00:06:16St. Louis
00:06:18Well, how about this weekend, St. Louis?
00:06:20I'll check my dance card
00:06:24John
00:06:26Excuse me, sir
00:06:30Your dance card's full
00:06:32You got a date this weekend in London
00:06:35London?
00:06:36Yeah
00:06:38Five thousand dollars
00:06:40It's royalty
00:06:41Royalty
00:06:42Sure, I'll do it
00:06:45John?
00:06:48Amanda?
00:06:51Hey, baby
00:06:52American
00:06:53John
00:06:58zh
00:07:03Ahem at H
00:07:19London, huh?
00:07:21It's only for a couple of days, Amanda.
00:07:24And you want me to drive you to the airport?
00:07:26Will you?
00:07:29And what do I get for this?
00:07:32Think of it as an investment in a new business.
00:07:35In us.
00:07:36For the long time.
00:07:37You mean you're ready to move in?
00:07:39I'm thinking about it.
00:07:41Do you know what you are, T-Man?
00:07:43What?
00:07:46You're my lucky lady.
00:07:49Oh, very good.
00:07:51Where did you learn card tricks?
00:07:54Montana.
00:07:55Montana?
00:07:57Yeah, I grew up there.
00:07:58160 acres of alfalfa fields.
00:08:00Oh, poor baby.
00:08:03So, Carol.
00:08:07Do you consider yourself a lucky lady?
00:08:13Excuse me.
00:08:14Sure.
00:08:19Excuse me.
00:08:34I can't get one meeting like this.
00:08:36Oh, my God.
00:08:56Am I really doing this?
00:09:00I guess I'm really doing this.
00:09:01Take care.
00:09:22Bye.
00:09:25Here you go.
00:09:25Thanks.
00:09:26I would offer you a ride, but my investor's your old-fashioned type.
00:09:32Thanks all the same.
00:09:35But I had quite a ride already.
00:09:40Call me.
00:09:42Sure.
00:09:46Here's Robert.
00:09:48Hold on.
00:09:49I'll help you.
00:09:49Mr. Hawkins.
00:09:56Yes.
00:09:57Let me take a seat.
00:09:58Like that?
00:09:59Yes.
00:09:59It's been very pleasant here, I must say.
00:10:01Yeah.
00:10:04Nice day, huh?
00:10:05I did.
00:10:07Let me get that for you.
00:10:10There we are.
00:10:12Good morning, Your Highness.
00:10:13Welcome to London.
00:10:31Bedroom.
00:10:33Living room.
00:10:35Be careful about, Hercules.
00:10:36That is my stereo.
00:10:41Hello?
00:10:42Gene.
00:10:43John.
00:10:44So, you finally made it.
00:10:45You moved to New York.
00:10:46Well, I moved here to be with you in case you forgot.
00:10:51And how come I'm the only one doing all the work around here while you goofing off in London?
00:10:55I'm not in London.
00:10:56I'm in L.A.
00:10:57What?
00:10:58Working on a little seat money.
00:11:00You're going to love what I've come up with.
00:11:02Listen, Gene, I got to go.
00:11:03I'll see you in a couple of weeks.
00:11:05John?
00:11:05John?
00:11:05John?
00:11:05John?
00:11:05John?
00:11:05John?
00:11:05John?
00:11:05John?
00:11:05John?
00:11:06John?
00:11:07Let's do it.
00:11:18Third Street, right in front of Autodina Beverage.
00:11:20I'll see you in a couple of weeks.
00:11:50Let's start with severe neck pain.
00:12:04Okay?
00:12:05Okay, Richard.
00:12:06And then loss of feeling in the right arm.
00:12:11How's that?
00:12:13Good.
00:12:13And then we'll throw in what?
00:12:18Sexual dysfunction?
00:12:19Just for the hell of it.
00:12:22Yeah, right.
00:12:23So how much do you expect to collect on this one, John?
00:12:26$25,000.
00:12:28Less $1,000 for the driver.
00:12:29Less $2,500 for me.
00:12:32Does this include my steroids?
00:12:34I understand that Gene Hansen moved to New York.
00:12:52The arrangement is non-exclusive.
00:12:55What does that mean, non-exclusive?
00:12:57Does that mean you're available?
00:12:59Does that mean I can keep this?
00:13:00No, son.
00:13:02No.
00:13:02No?
00:13:03No.
00:13:04Are you sure about that?
00:13:05No.
00:13:07Maybe some of it.
00:13:09Can you give me some more?
00:13:10You're bad.
00:13:13You're very bad.
00:13:18A sweat store?
00:13:19You want to start a sweat store?
00:13:22Gene, why don't you want to do this?
00:13:23Huh?
00:13:24Hello?
00:13:24Oh, no.
00:13:26I don't know where he is.
00:13:28Gene, give me the phone.
00:13:29Give me the phone.
00:13:29I don't have a clue.
00:13:31Who is Amanda?
00:13:34Gene, this is the best idea I ever had.
00:13:37Everyone sweats and everyone is into fitness.
00:13:39Except maybe you.
00:13:40You're kind of a throwback in that way.
00:13:42She calls here so often.
00:13:43I should have stock in New York telephones.
00:13:47Gene, this is the 80s.
00:13:50Let's have some fun and start this business.
00:13:52With what?
00:13:5820,000 for starters.
00:14:03Where in the hell did you get this?
00:14:06Insurance settlement.
00:14:08And here's another 30 from a friend.
00:14:14Ah.
00:14:15So this is Amanda.
00:14:19Yeah, she's my girlfriend.
00:14:21And I'm going to keep seeing her.
00:14:23Now, do you want to be a shoe salesman all your life?
00:14:29First, I'm a buyer.
00:14:31And second, the only reason we're having this conversation is because you need my retail experience.
00:14:36Right.
00:14:38So let's start business.
00:14:40How much do we need?
00:14:41Rent, inventory, staff, overhead, $100,000 minimum cash.
00:14:52That's all?
00:14:53You know, Gene, I always wanted to tell you this.
00:14:59I really hate your taste in furniture.
00:15:02It's rented.
00:15:04So much the better.
00:15:05It's about two o'clock.
00:15:08It's about two o'clock.
00:15:09I'm thinking.
00:15:17That's great.
00:15:19Guys, lunch.
00:15:19I'm buying.
00:15:20Really?
00:15:21Yep.
00:15:21All right.
00:15:23Gene, what do you think?
00:15:23The joint around the corner?
00:15:25You guys go on ahead.
00:15:27I'm going to go upstairs and lock up.
00:15:29Come on, guys.
00:15:30Let's go.
00:15:30Hey, Tommy, let's hustle.
00:15:35So what was it like looking at Studio 54?
00:15:38Not bad.
00:15:39New scene every night.
00:15:40New women, too.
00:15:41Every night?
00:15:43I'm looking for a good time.
00:15:45Oh, that don't sound like work to me.
00:15:48Did you guys order a second truck?
00:15:49Oh, that don't sound like work.
00:16:19They took all my furniture, everything.
00:16:26Come on, get out of here now.
00:16:33$109,000.
00:16:37I can't believe it was this easy.
00:16:41Here you go.
00:16:44To a what?
00:16:49To a long partnership.
00:16:51Uh-huh.
00:16:51To a successful business.
00:16:53Uh-huh.
00:16:54And to a sound investment by one of America's great insurance companies.
00:16:58It's a fabulous summer sale starting this week at all 22 Just Sweat stores.
00:17:13Get wet.
00:17:15Get wet.
00:17:20Sweat.
00:17:21Get wet.
00:17:22Get him.
00:17:22Get him now.
00:17:23Get wet.
00:17:25Wow.
00:17:27So how long have you been modeling?
00:17:29First time.
00:17:31I owned you, Sweats.
00:17:32Really?
00:17:33Uh-huh.
00:17:34Well, hey, if you ever get a free evening, why don't you give me a car?
00:17:41Okay.
00:17:45Really, what's happening?
00:17:46Uh, yeah, yeah.
00:17:50I'm calling about the apartment.
00:17:52How much?
00:17:54No, no view?
00:17:56No.
00:17:57No, that's a pass.
00:18:02Listen, I heard you on the phone.
00:18:04You get stuck.
00:18:05I'm in a market for a roommate.
00:18:06What would you want a roommate with your money?
00:18:10I travel a lot.
00:18:11I could use a house sitter.
00:18:14Two-bedroom high-rise right off campus.
00:18:16Want to take a look?
00:18:19Yeah, sure.
00:18:26Come in.
00:18:31Nice.
00:18:34You expecting somebody for dinner?
00:18:36No, it's always said like that.
00:18:38The women like it.
00:18:42This is great.
00:18:46Who's she?
00:18:48Oh, it's a gift for my mother.
00:18:50Really?
00:18:51Yeah.
00:18:54Oh, yeah.
00:18:55So, what do you think so far?
00:18:58Not bad.
00:18:59Hi.
00:19:00Hey, baby.
00:19:03Thanks.
00:19:06Who's that?
00:19:09One of my investors.
00:19:16Good morning, Brandy.
00:19:17Good morning, Mr. Hawkins.
00:19:19Good morning, Jean.
00:19:25Hey!
00:19:26Hey, what do you think you're doing?
00:19:27Pick it up my bonus.
00:19:30And I'll be picking you up, too, for dinner tonight.
00:19:33You must be John Hawkins.
00:19:367.30.
00:19:37I'll send the limo.
00:19:39Sorry, but I'm seeing my boyfriend, Michael Lair, tonight.
00:19:42Who?
00:19:42He runs your store in BIM.
00:19:447.30.
00:19:50Looks like you're in for a promotion.
00:20:00Nice place.
00:20:04You know, I really enjoyed dinner.
00:20:06Me, too.
00:20:07Did you really send Michael to Dayton just to learn how to fold sweats?
00:20:12Hey, the second I met you,
00:20:15I saw this in the window today.
00:20:20Oh, John, I can't accept that.
00:20:23We just met.
00:20:24I want you to have it.
00:20:26No, really.
00:20:27Really?
00:20:27Really?
00:20:27Really?
00:20:27Really?
00:20:27Really?
00:20:27Really?
00:20:29Really?
00:20:29Really?
00:20:31Really?
00:20:31Really?
00:20:32Really?
00:20:33Really?
00:20:33Really?
00:20:33Really?
00:20:34Really?
00:20:35Really?
00:20:35Really?
00:20:36Really?
00:20:36Really?
00:20:37Really?
00:20:37Really?
00:20:37Really?
00:21:04Really?
00:21:06I thought the bank understood growing companies.
00:21:13Receivables aren't there. You've seen the numbers.
00:21:16So we have a cash flow problem.
00:21:18It isn't just a cash flow problem.
00:21:21Jean, one of your employees sent me this.
00:21:26A memo from John.
00:21:28Ordering all sales staff to take lie detector tests about missing money.
00:21:33Jean, you know where that money's going.
00:21:35There's no way I can arrange a new loan.
00:21:38Hey, Liz.
00:21:40Sorry I'm late.
00:21:42What do I sign?
00:21:43You don't.
00:21:45What?
00:21:49Oh, come on, Liz.
00:21:51It's always slow until the students get back.
00:21:53You seen the projections?
00:21:54Yes, I have, and I think they're optimistic.
00:21:57I'm sorry, John. There's nothing I can do.
00:22:00I'm out on a limb as it is.
00:22:05So that's it?
00:22:11We'll close up shop and walk away with nothing?
00:22:15I'll tell you what I like to do.
00:22:17Sell the inventory, take the cash and get out of town.
00:22:20And they'd still be looking for us.
00:22:24Not if they thought we were dead.
00:22:26What?
00:22:29What are you talking about?
00:22:32What we've done before.
00:22:34Insurance.
00:22:37Life insurance.
00:22:38We can't do that.
00:22:41Yes, we can.
00:22:43Think about it.
00:22:44If you were to die, we can collect a million in your policy.
00:22:49No more Ohio, no more work.
00:22:51You could be laying in the sun.
00:22:54Get serious.
00:22:56I am serious, Gene.
00:22:59We can do this.
00:23:02How?
00:23:02I mean, I can't just disappear.
00:23:06And insurance companies don't pay up unless they are sure someone is dead.
00:23:12So we need a body.
00:23:14Someone who looks like you.
00:23:16So we just go out and dig one up?
00:23:21Richard Boggs could get us one.
00:23:23You are serious, aren't you?
00:23:30You really think we can get away with this?
00:23:35Nobody caught us before, did they?
00:23:39Who's going to catch us now?
00:23:53But the doctor always prescribes for his friends.
00:23:59It's a tradition.
00:24:01Well, beam me up, Scotty.
00:24:08So how's the sweat business?
00:24:09Boomy?
00:24:10Night trust?
00:24:11Oh, not exactly.
00:24:13No?
00:24:15Why do I get the distinct feeling this is not purely a social call?
00:24:20It's always social, Richard.
00:24:22You know that.
00:24:23But we do have a business proposal, if you care to hear.
00:24:26Sure, I'm always interested in new propositions.
00:24:31We have an insurance problem.
00:24:33In search of a medical solution.
00:24:37We'd like to know if you can get us a body.
00:24:40A body?
00:24:41For a fee, of course.
00:24:44Gene's planning a fatal heart attack in the next few months.
00:24:47I will be resting in peace in Miami.
00:24:50Ah.
00:24:51So the stiff will have to look just like him.
00:24:53That's interesting.
00:25:02It's difficult, but not impossible.
00:25:07John, if I comb my hair like this, do I look older and sicker?
00:25:21You always look sick.
00:25:22Be serious.
00:25:23You're sick enough to die?
00:25:28Absolutely.
00:25:29But Dan, after you're dead, nip over here, tuck there, you'll be fine.
00:25:40Do you think Richard will really go through with this?
00:25:43You'll go through with it.
00:25:45Richard has some expensive habits.
00:25:48He needs money.
00:25:50And he'll do anything for me.
00:25:52John.
00:25:52John.
00:26:01So, $50,000.
00:26:04$25,000 down, $25,000 on delivery.
00:26:06Deal.
00:26:07Now, Richard, Gene's policy expires in a month.
00:26:12What happens if you can't find a corpse in time?
00:26:17I don't know.
00:26:20Would you want me to look for a live one?
00:26:23Dan, I don't want to hear.
00:26:34From now on, I am the only one who signs checks.
00:26:38That's final.
00:26:39That is absolutely final.
00:26:45John.
00:26:47I cannot operate this way.
00:26:49First, he has a one-day sale that goes for three weeks.
00:26:51Then he won't reorder.
00:26:51Now he wants to take away my checking privileges.
00:26:53I'm the accountant, for God's sakes.
00:26:56I know.
00:26:58Everyone, please listen.
00:27:03This is hard for me.
00:27:05I would have told you all sooner, but Gene didn't want me to.
00:27:12Gene is sick.
00:27:14He has a heart condition.
00:27:16And his doctors have told him he's got only a few months to live.
00:27:19Oh, my God.
00:27:19Oh, jeez.
00:27:21I'm so sorry, John.
00:27:22I had no idea.
00:27:22No wonder he's acting strange.
00:27:24He'll be going to California for treatment.
00:27:27I don't know if he'll be back.
00:27:29Please don't say anything.
00:27:32He'll kill me if he knew I told you.
00:27:34What a performance.
00:27:47Oscar, Cavill.
00:27:49You'll get a lifetime achievement award once you're dead.
00:27:52So, is the staff heartbroken at my departure?
00:27:56Well, they won't be.
00:27:58He wants to find out about your retirement pay.
00:28:04What?
00:28:05Kind of a musky thing?
00:28:06Mm-hmm.
00:28:10Sit down.
00:28:12Relax.
00:28:12Pickle the fish.
00:28:13I'll just be a minute.
00:28:18I'll just be a minute.
00:28:30Hey, Peter?
00:28:32Yes.
00:28:32Who's this guy, Richard Boggs?
00:28:35He's, uh...
00:28:36He's my partner.
00:28:38Is he as nice as you?
00:28:39It's much nicer than I am.
00:28:45Keith?
00:28:46Mm-hmm.
00:28:48There's no need to wait out there.
00:28:49Come on in.
00:28:50So.
00:29:00So.
00:29:03Dinner was wonderful tonight.
00:29:05It was, wasn't it?
00:29:13It's for you.
00:29:20Are you crazy?
00:29:36I'm sorry.
00:29:37I'm so sorry.
00:29:38I really am.
00:29:39Sometimes I...
00:29:40You damn near killed me.
00:29:41What the hell is that?
00:29:42It's just a thing.
00:29:43I take too many drugs, I get a little...
00:29:44Come here.
00:29:46Come back.
00:29:46Come back.
00:29:47You're bleeding.
00:29:47Let me stitch you out.
00:29:48Come back.
00:29:53Huh?
00:29:54That's good, huh?
00:29:55Yeah.
00:30:05Ben, what's up?
00:30:06I thought you'd better hear this in person.
00:30:10When Gene left yesterday, he wasn't traveling light.
00:30:13He took 1.8 billion in company funds.
00:30:16What are you talking about?
00:30:18John, I'm going to have to call the FBI.
00:30:20Dan, please, no.
00:30:22Gene's lost his marbles.
00:30:24If he winds up in jail, it'll kill him.
00:30:25I mean, you're getting a lot of trouble for this.
00:30:27I'll find him.
00:30:28I'll get the money back.
00:30:29I promise, just don't call the FBI.
00:30:32I'll take care of it.
00:30:33All right?
00:30:36I'll call you later.
00:30:37Out.
00:30:45Out.
00:30:59Damn it.
00:31:00It's all falling apart.
00:31:02Boggs blew it.
00:31:03He had a guy lined up, but he got away.
00:31:05Now, Aldous is threatening to go to the FBI about the money we took.
00:31:08So what are we going to do now?
00:31:09You've got to stop him.
00:31:10And the insurance policy runs out on me in two weeks.
00:31:15We can't die yet.
00:31:16That's for damn sure.
00:31:17I have no choice.
00:31:19I'll have to take the money back.
00:31:20What?
00:31:21All of it?
00:31:22Not all of it.
00:31:23I'll say I used a quarter of a million to buy you out.
00:31:25A quarter of a million?
00:31:26Yes.
00:31:26You can squeak by on that for now, can't you?
00:31:28Oh, do you want the FBI crawling all over us?
00:31:32Now, where's the money?
00:31:36It's in a safe deposit box under my new name.
00:31:41Wolfgang Eugene von Snowden.
00:31:44Are you kidding me?
00:31:47Snowden was my father's name.
00:31:49I never knew him, but it does have a nice ring to it, don't you think?
00:31:54John?
00:31:56Hey.
00:31:56Yes?
00:32:00I cannot do it.
00:32:02Richard.
00:32:04I don't care what you are paying me.
00:32:07Richard!
00:32:08I tried this alone, and it did not work.
00:32:11Have the cops been there?
00:32:13No.
00:32:14Well, then you have nothing to worry about.
00:32:16Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
00:32:18You'll just have to line up another body.
00:32:21West Hollywood is full of fading gates.
00:32:22You could pass for Gene.
00:32:23No, John.
00:32:24No, no.
00:32:25I cannot do it.
00:32:26I'm not going to do it.
00:32:27I am not going to do it unless you come out here and you help me.
00:32:30You come out here and you help me!
00:32:32Now shut up for a second, will you?
00:32:35I'll figure something out.
00:32:36How dare you tell me to shut up?
00:32:38You get your ass out of here!
00:32:45Gene, you just have to get going.
00:32:46Richard, Richard's looking for another body, but he needs you out there to help.
00:32:58You know what I said when I first saw you, Peter?
00:33:04No.
00:33:04What did you say, Ellis?
00:33:08I said to myself, here's a man who will know a good idea when he hears it.
00:33:16So, are you going to tell me a little more about this cheesecake recipe?
00:33:20No.
00:33:21No.
00:33:22No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:33:24I can't.
00:33:24I can't.
00:33:25It's an old family secret.
00:33:27Only two people in the world know their recipes.
00:33:29My mother and me.
00:33:33Alex, two more.
00:33:34So, if you're going to share this little secret with me, I'm going to have to invest.
00:33:44Is that an investment?
00:33:48Absolutely.
00:33:49Absolutely.
00:33:49Well, I think it might be a good idea for us to start a company to market the recipe.
00:33:55Gene!
00:33:56Gene, this is a friend of mine, Ellis Green.
00:33:59Gene knows a lot about companies.
00:34:01Gene Hansen, and it is a pleasure.
00:34:06Are you two in a couple?
00:34:09No.
00:34:18You always travel with the doctor?
00:34:20Isn't that carrying safe sex a bit far?
00:34:22I'm going to check you out, Ellis.
00:34:25Oh, really?
00:34:26Yeah, if I'm going to invest in you, I want to give you an EKG.
00:34:31These are real heartbreakers, isn't it?
00:34:38Is this going to hurt?
00:34:40EKGs are painless.
00:34:42Take a strap and over.
00:34:43I'm going to get a pill for this.
00:34:57Lie down and relax.
00:35:01Relax.
00:35:02Breathe deeply.
00:35:03Okay.
00:35:06Just relax.
00:35:09Relax, relax, relax.
00:35:10Relax, relax.
00:35:12Deep breaths.
00:35:16That's it.
00:35:18Deep breaths.
00:35:21You can even fall asleep if you like.
00:35:34That's it.
00:35:35That's a boy.
00:35:38That's a boy.
00:35:38That's a good boy.
00:35:43Good boy.
00:35:44That's a good boy.
00:35:45Oh, my God.
00:36:15Oh, my God.
00:36:45Thomas.
00:36:46How?
00:36:48John, our suppliers aren't going to do us any favors.
00:36:50Just what?
00:36:51Ask again.
00:36:52John, it's for you.
00:36:54Hello?
00:36:55Here it is.
00:36:58John, what's the matter?
00:36:59John, Gene's dead.
00:37:02Is this his full name, doctor?
00:37:07Melvin Eugene Hanson?
00:37:09That's right.
00:37:10How long was he a patient?
00:37:12Well, maybe seven or eight years.
00:37:14He owned a clothing store in Ohio, but he still came here for business.
00:37:18Not yet, guys.
00:37:20We'll be a few minutes.
00:37:21May I look at the file?
00:37:22Yes, of course.
00:37:24You say he complained of chest pains.
00:37:26That's right.
00:37:27Why didn't he go to a hospital?
00:37:29I suggested it, but he kept on insisting that he hated hospitals.
00:37:35He had been drinking quite a bit, and he did have a history of heart disease, so I agreed to meet him here.
00:37:43So, what happened?
00:37:45What do you mean, what happened?
00:37:48Oh, I gave him an EKG, and I went into my office to pull his chart, and while I was in there, I heard a thud.
00:37:59I came back in here, and I saw him on the floor.
00:38:01What time was this?
00:38:03About 6, 6.15.
00:38:07I called 911.
00:38:09The line was busy.
00:38:10I administered CPR for about 40 minutes, called 911 again, and finally got through.
00:38:20If you will excuse me, I will go into my office and see if there's anything else I can find for you.
00:38:28The emergency line was busy at 6 a.m.
00:38:32Kind of stiff for a guy who's only been dead an hour.
00:38:35Yeah.
00:38:35Last reading here says 12.04 a.m.
00:38:43Let's get a lab technician down here.
00:38:46Get some photos and prints.
00:38:48Captain, the last reading on that EKG machine was 12 midnight.
00:38:51Boggs didn't call this until 6 a.m.
00:38:53The supervisor for emergency services remembers only one time when all the lines were busy.
00:38:57Yeah, the day of the Whittier quake.
00:39:00So what was the good doctor doing for 6 hours?
00:39:03Helen, I think we should ask the coroner to do a sexual assault examination.
00:39:07Take a look at this.
00:39:08It's an assault complaint.
00:39:09Filed two weeks ago against Boggs.
00:39:12By a guy who claims the doctor used a stun gun on him.
00:39:15I know about it.
00:39:16I sent in the paperwork.
00:39:17But I just had a call.
00:39:18The DA's not interested in pursuing any of this.
00:39:21Well, why the hell not?
00:39:22Because the guy's gay.
00:39:23So's the doc.
00:39:24Probably so is your corpse.
00:39:26So they're just going to write it off?
00:39:28Rough sex.
00:39:29It got out of hand.
00:39:30Or so they think.
00:39:31Now listen.
00:39:32Boggs may be loose with the scripts and he may hang out in West Hollywood.
00:39:35But in Glendale, he is a very respected member of the community.
00:39:41His brother was a cop, for Pete's sake.
00:39:44So that's what this is about.
00:39:46Come on, Frank.
00:39:48You and I both know we've got something here.
00:39:49The coroner isn't interested?
00:39:50The DA isn't interested.
00:39:52Well, at least let me make a couple of calls.
00:39:53No.
00:39:55We move on.
00:40:00Now come on, Connie.
00:40:01What are you telling me?
00:40:01You did a thorough autopsy on this guy and found nothing?
00:40:04What I'm telling you is there's no evidence of sexual assault.
00:40:07No burn marks.
00:40:08No needle marks.
00:40:10No traces of poison.
00:40:11Nothing that could be consistent in any way with traumatic death.
00:40:15No sign of a struggle at all?
00:40:17None.
00:40:19And you checked under his fingernails?
00:40:20You know me.
00:40:22I give the complete manicure.
00:40:24Well, what did you find?
00:40:28In terms of disease?
00:40:31Nonspecific focal myocarditis.
00:40:33What the hell is that?
00:40:34Infection of the heart muscle.
00:40:36He was also HIV positive.
00:40:41Nonspecific focal...
00:40:43Myocarditis.
00:40:44Yeah.
00:40:45Is that usually fatal?
00:40:47This guy's intake?
00:40:48Definitely.
00:40:50On a par with some cops, I know.
00:40:52Listen, if you don't have anything, I'm gonna have to release this body.
00:40:55There's some guy here to pick it up.
00:40:57Detective Pete Stanford.
00:41:04You are...
00:41:05John Hawkins.
00:41:06I'm here to claim the body.
00:41:08Could I see some identification, Mr. Hawkins?
00:41:10Oh, sure.
00:41:12There you go.
00:41:13I also brought a copy of his will.
00:41:14You're the executive.
00:41:24Yes.
00:41:25So you remember the family?
00:41:27No, Gene was my business partner.
00:41:29And my friend.
00:41:31I'm sorry for your loss.
00:41:33Let me ask you a question.
00:41:34Did you know his doctor, Richard Boggs?
00:41:36Uh, yeah.
00:41:39I saw him once or twice as a patient.
00:41:41Gene and I both used to live out here.
00:41:44And Gene and Dr. Boggs were friends?
00:41:46Yeah.
00:41:47Sort of.
00:41:48Boggs is gay.
00:41:49Was he your friend?
00:41:50Yes.
00:41:51Yes, he was.
00:41:54Was there any, uh...
00:41:56Anything between the two of them?
00:41:58You mean was something going on?
00:41:59Yeah.
00:42:00No way, man.
00:42:02Gene was into younger guys.
00:42:04Like yourself?
00:42:05Nah, I'm not gay.
00:42:09The coroner will fill out the papers.
00:42:11He's all yours.
00:42:12Thanks.
00:42:34All right.
00:42:41Nice.
00:42:41You've got to know, that you're looking for love you.
00:42:44Don't you?
00:42:44Don't you?
00:42:45Don't be mad.
00:42:45Don't you?
00:42:46Don't be mad.
00:42:47Don't you?
00:42:48Don't you?
00:42:48Don't you?
00:42:53Yes, sir.
00:42:55Oh, my God.
00:42:56I'll get it.
00:43:12How come you've got all these women and there's never any food?
00:43:21Josh.
00:43:22Josh!
00:43:23Josh, the insurance company fit up. Look at this. Will you look at this, baby?
00:43:28One million dollars.
00:43:31Man, have I been waiting for this day?
00:43:33This is unreal.
00:43:35Oh, it's real, all right. I've got to get to the bank.
00:43:38You book a little. We're going to have some fun tonight. You understand?
00:43:41Yeah.
00:43:42Okay.
00:43:50David, champagne. Thanks.
00:43:52Who's that?
00:44:03I don't know.
00:44:10Looks like I'm on.
00:44:11Haven't you got enough women?
00:44:15It's never enough.
00:44:17How come?
00:44:20No, I mean, seriously.
00:44:21It's a challenge.
00:44:23It's a click.
00:44:25It makes me feel alive.
00:44:26I like making women happy.
00:44:30Where would I be without them?
00:44:33And where would you be without my cast-offs?
00:44:35Here.
00:44:40Do I know you from somewhere?
00:44:43I know you.
00:44:44I know all about you.
00:44:49You don't remember, do you?
00:44:52Two summers ago.
00:44:53It's my birthday.
00:44:59You were the best present I ever had.
00:45:02Jenny.
00:45:02Jenny.
00:45:02Jenny Swift.
00:45:07I...
00:45:07I don't believe this.
00:45:10What are you doing in Columbus?
00:45:12I just moved here.
00:45:14You know, I'm celebrating.
00:45:16Can I buy you a drink?
00:45:18Sure.
00:45:19Bill, can we get a bottle of Dom Perignon now?
00:45:23Should we go?
00:45:25Sure.
00:45:28Captain, you got a second?
00:45:30Yeah, what is it?
00:45:32I got something I want to show you.
00:45:35Dennis, can you excuse me?
00:45:36Sure.
00:45:37All right.
00:45:39Now, these are the EKG readouts that Richard Boggs did on Eugene Hanson in 85, 86, and 88.
00:45:46I thought I told you to let this go.
00:45:47Just watch.
00:45:4985 here.
00:45:5186 here.
00:45:56Damn it.
00:45:57Boggs faked the records.
00:45:59He ran all these the night of the murder, and then just juggled them around.
00:46:03Now, we've already got a couple of reporters nosing into this.
00:46:06We're going to get a lot of heat if we don't move on it right away.
00:46:09There's not enough here to indict.
00:46:11You don't have motive.
00:46:12You don't have fingerprints.
00:46:13Well, you don't even have the damn corpse anymore.
00:46:15Well, let me sniff around a little bit.
00:46:16Put some pressure on Boggs.
00:46:18What you sniff is a high-profile case.
00:46:21All right, Stanford.
00:46:21Knock yourself out.
00:46:23Captain, what about resources?
00:46:25What?
00:46:26Well, I need a telephone card and unlimited overtime, travel expenses, somebody do the grunt work.
00:46:31Dream on, Stanford.
00:46:33I can't even give you an office.
00:46:35Well, just work out of Isabel Sweets.
00:46:40Oh, here comes them.
00:46:48Hey, bonus house one of them.
00:46:51How about me?
00:46:54I love what your decorators don't want the place.
00:47:01I love what your decorators don't want the place.
00:47:18All me, pal.
00:47:19All me.
00:47:21Response from your DMV request?
00:47:24Oh, yeah.
00:47:26Take a look at these prints.
00:47:29It's not the guy in the morgue.
00:47:30Oh, my God.
00:47:44I could start by doing a meloplasty on the cheeks.
00:47:49And then I could do a blepharoplasty to remove the wrinkles around the eyes.
00:47:55And how will I look?
00:47:57A lot younger, certainly.
00:47:59Can you make me look like this?
00:48:01Well, maybe not exactly.
00:48:05This man's a lot younger.
00:48:07But I can probably take ten years off your face.
00:48:14Really?
00:48:15Ten years?
00:48:16Uh-huh.
00:48:18Look, I don't mind if you change the way I look completely.
00:48:24Really, I don't.
00:48:26Just don't leave any scars.
00:48:27I never cared for scars.
00:48:31Weren't they a badge of honor in your country at one time?
00:48:35What?
00:48:37Dueling scars in Germany.
00:48:41Mr. Von Snowden, right?
00:48:44Oh.
00:48:46Ah, yes, of course.
00:48:48Silly me.
00:48:54You have a very bad ear infection, Irving.
00:48:57Dr. Boggs?
00:48:58Yes.
00:48:59Glendale, PD.
00:49:00I have a search warrant for you.
00:49:02You might want to reschedule your patients.
00:49:05We're going to be here a while.
00:49:06Oh, that's fine.
00:49:07What's going on?
00:49:08Let me search for a place.
00:49:09I'm calling my attorney.
00:49:12Oh, Dr. Boggs.
00:49:13This comes under the warrant.
00:49:23Well, a stun gun.
00:49:27Now, certainly beats anesthesia, huh, Doc?
00:49:30Hey, Christy, check this out.
00:49:38Wow.
00:49:38Pretty cool, huh?
00:49:39Yeah, it's great.
00:49:41Oh, have you seen Dan Alderson?
00:49:43Uh-uh.
00:49:44A detective Stanford from the Glendale police called.
00:49:46He said it was urgent.
00:49:47Did he ask for me?
00:49:48Uh-uh.
00:49:49Cool.
00:49:49Uh-uh.
00:50:14Stanford.
00:50:14Detective Stanford.
00:50:16This is Dan Alderson from Just Sweats.
00:50:18Let's get your message.
00:50:21Yeah, Mr. Alderson.
00:50:22Thanks for calling back.
00:50:24I have kind of a strange question I'd like to ask you.
00:50:26Have you seen Gene Hansen?
00:50:28Since April, I mean.
00:50:31What are you talking about?
00:50:32He's dead.
00:50:33Well, we don't think he is.
00:50:36This isn't funny.
00:50:37Are you serious?
00:50:38Yes, I'm serious, Mr. Alderson.
00:50:41How about his partner, John Hawkins?
00:50:42Is he still with the company?
00:50:44He's on vacation in Mexico, I think.
00:50:46Why?
00:50:48Would you ask him to call me when he gets back?
00:50:50I may want to come to Columbus and talk to the two of you.
00:50:54You bet.
00:50:55Thanks a lot.
00:50:55John, you're not going to believe this.
00:51:23I had the surgery.
00:51:24A little bit more work, I'm going to look just like you.
00:51:26Gene, shut up.
00:51:27Listen.
00:51:28Cops know about the body.
00:51:30What?
00:51:31How?
00:51:32I don't know, but they know.
00:51:35Well, did you talk to Richard?
00:51:37Forget Richard.
00:51:38He's toast.
00:51:39His phone's probably tapped.
00:51:41Well, what are we going to do?
00:51:43You do whatever you have to.
00:51:45I'm going to take the money and run.
00:51:46I don't believe this.
00:51:48They're really on to us.
00:51:50Yeah, they're really on to us.
00:51:52But they still got to catch us.
00:52:08Michael.
00:52:09How are you?
00:52:10Here we go.
00:52:31Yeah, I need a couple of births.
00:52:33Colin Chandler.
00:52:36Born July 23rd, 1961.
00:52:41Why won't you take a cashier's check, John?
00:52:43Because the bank will be closed by the time I get the date.
00:52:46Now, the guy's got me by the short hairs, Liz.
00:52:48And I need those sweats in the stores this weekend.
00:52:53Aren't you going to count it?
00:52:54I trust you.
00:52:57I trust you.
00:53:06John.
00:53:08What's up?
00:53:11Hey, that's my stuff.
00:53:13I'm borrowing these.
00:53:14You mind?
00:53:15Sure.
00:53:16What are you doing, John?
00:53:23Taking a little vacation.
00:53:25A hell of an expensive one.
00:53:28Hey, cut the bull, John.
00:53:30What the hell's going on here?
00:53:32Josh, you're a nice guy.
00:53:34But keep your day job.
00:53:35What the hell is that supposed to mean?
00:53:38We can keep everything here, except the Mercedes.
00:53:42Promise that to my mother.
00:53:43Josh, have a nice life.
00:53:47I plan.
00:53:47I plan.
00:53:47I plan.
00:53:48I plan.
00:53:50Hey.
00:53:50I plan.
00:53:53I plan.
00:54:54It would be great if you let us shoot part of the movie here.
00:54:56Well, I don't know if Walter will.
00:54:59You know, there's a small part we haven't cast yet.
00:55:02Have you ever acted before?
00:55:05Not since college.
00:55:07I mean, it's tiny.
00:55:08But you get to work with Redford.
00:55:10You're not serious, right?
00:55:14I'm very serious.
00:55:19Walter.
00:55:21Excuse me.
00:55:22I want you to meet Josh Grace.
00:55:24Hi, Josh. Welcome.
00:55:25Nice to meet you.
00:55:25Nice to meet you.
00:55:26I was just talking to your lovely wife about your beautiful home.
00:55:29I can't.
00:55:30I can't.
00:55:31Trust me, she's perfect.
00:55:33And the house is just what we're looking for.
00:55:35You're not going to believe who just called her back.
00:55:37So exercise the option.
00:55:39Oh, come on.
00:55:40That's nothing.
00:55:42How much do you need right away?
00:55:45I'll get on to the usual suspects, all right?
00:55:47But I'll bet I can get you ten grand.
00:55:54Right this minute.
00:55:57Now get those rights nailed down before the close of business, okay?
00:56:02It's all set.
00:56:03My partner wants to see the house, and he wants to meet you.
00:56:06This is fantastic.
00:56:07Josh, this is wonderful.
00:56:08I can't believe this is happening.
00:56:10You are coming sailing with us, right?
00:56:12Sure, as long as I can be back in town by Friday.
00:56:15This is just great.
00:56:16But who do I make the checkout to?
00:56:18Better make it to my partner.
00:56:19Sure.
00:56:20What's his name?
00:56:21Hawkins.
00:56:22John Hawkins.
00:56:23I'll be right back.
00:56:26You guys are great, Diane.
00:56:40Step out of the car!
00:56:41What is this?
00:56:43Hand behind your head until lace your fingers.
00:56:44What's going on?
00:56:45Lean against the car.
00:56:47What's going on, guys?
00:56:50What did I do, Chris?
00:56:51Quiet, sir.
00:56:53Clison says Walter Driscoll.
00:56:54I am Walter Driscoll.
00:56:56Peter says Walter Driscoll is an alias for John Hawkins.
00:57:00Son of a bitch.
00:57:02He did my credit cards.
00:57:03He did my bank account.
00:57:04He did my wife.
00:57:06He did me.
00:57:07He sends me postcards.
00:57:14New York, Nevada, New Mexico, Bahamas.
00:57:18You want to see his little black book?
00:57:20It's full of Hollywood names.
00:57:21You know, you're as big a hustler as he is.
00:57:27I gotta be.
00:57:28The detective threatened to lie under your car if we don't take this on.
00:57:30Let me level with you, Mr. Walsh.
00:57:34I've got a department that's overextended.
00:57:36I've got superiors that are uninterested.
00:57:39I don't have any place else to turn.
00:57:40I can't catch this guy by slapping his face on post office walls or on the sides of milk cartons.
00:57:45I need your audience.
00:57:46I need you.
00:57:47You're my last resort.
00:57:56Hey, beautiful.
00:58:00How are we doing today?
00:58:05How about a cold one?
00:58:07In your dreams.
00:58:08Hey, fellas.
00:58:10I can handle it.
00:58:11You know, if you want to get rid of those jerks, act like I'm your boyfriend.
00:58:18Move into the groove, then?
00:58:21Sorry, boys.
00:58:24Come on.
00:58:26Would you like some?
00:58:28Oh.
00:58:29Well, is this part of the service?
00:58:32Absolutely.
00:58:36How about we start over here?
00:58:39How's that feel?
00:58:41Very nice.
00:58:42Yeah.
00:58:46Stop.
00:58:48That's you, baby.
00:58:49Queen of hearts.
00:58:51Oh, my God.
00:58:53He does car tricks, too.
00:58:54Oh, my God.
00:58:54He does car tricks, too.
00:59:11That's you.
00:59:13Oh, my God.
00:59:15Oh, my God.
00:59:15Oh, my God.
00:59:20van PER.
00:59:21We've got rumors of the wazoo on this guy.
00:59:49One story's got him living with a gay stripper named Dallas.
00:59:53The other one's got him in San Francisco doing a tour of Alcatraz.
00:59:56You know, rumors aren't worth anything.
00:59:57What have you got that I can put on the air?
00:59:59Well, now, we know that he called his mother from a ski resort in Utah.
01:00:03And he had a temporary mail drop in Toronto.
01:00:05We also identified the victim.
01:00:07This is a bookkeeper named Ellis Green.
01:00:10Now, they used his driver's license to open a bank account in Miami.
01:00:15Anything else?
01:00:15We have a positive ID on him from New York and from the Bahamas.
01:00:19Now, we're sure he's using disguises.
01:00:21The son of a bitch is too vain to ever alter his face.
01:00:23We need you, John.
01:00:25Well, we'll make his face his problem.
01:00:27We'll go to air with this case on Friday.
01:00:35Good evening.
01:00:36I'm John Walsh on location in Las Vegas.
01:00:39Our first fugitive tonight was born right here.
01:00:42This is where he started his never-ending quest for Lady Luck.
01:00:46Devious, dangerous, elusive, and a killer.
01:00:49That's how police describe John Barrett Hawkins.
01:00:52Hawkins nearly pulled off the perfect crime.
01:00:55A million-dollar insurance scam that left one man dead.
01:00:59Then, the scam came to life.
01:01:01John Hawkins hit the road.
01:01:04Hey, good show, John.
01:01:05Nice response.
01:01:06Thanks.
01:01:07Lance, this is the second call we've got from Fort Lauderdale.
01:01:10The guy says he just saw Hawkins going into the Palm Hotel.
01:01:13Stanford's in Miami, right?
01:01:15Yeah.
01:01:15Get on him.
01:01:18Janice, get me Peter Stanford in Miami.
01:01:21Police officer's probably moves.
01:01:23Everybody stay quiet.
01:01:24Everybody stay out.
01:01:25What is going on here?
01:01:26Come on.
01:01:27What the hell is going on here?
01:01:29Look at that kid's back.
01:01:31Sit her down.
01:01:32Get over here, ma'am.
01:01:33Let's go.
01:01:34Somebody talk to me or get the hell out.
01:01:37Where is he?
01:01:38Who?
01:01:38What are you talking about?
01:01:39Him.
01:01:41Jerry.
01:01:42His real name is John Hawkins.
01:01:43He's wanted for first-degree murder.
01:01:44Now, where is he?
01:01:46I don't know.
01:01:47But you know him.
01:01:49Know him?
01:01:50Honey, I just spent the best three nights of my life with him.

01:11:27What the hell are you doing?
01:11:28You liar! You bastard!
01:11:30What did I do?
01:11:31You're not running from any mafia.
01:11:36What are you talking about?
01:11:37You're all over the TV.
01:11:39Jenny, please. None of it matters.
01:11:42Damn you!
01:11:43Jenny.
01:11:52Yes, this is Mr. Von Snowden.
01:11:53He moved out about a month ago.
01:11:55He says he's buying a house down on the Gulf Coast somewhere.
01:11:57I don't know where.
01:11:58The man's name is Hanson, and he's wanted for first-degree murder.
01:12:02You can't be serious.
01:12:04You ever seen him with this man?
01:12:07Well, no, no, not in person, but Wolfgang.
01:12:11I mean, Hanson had about a dozen photographs of him in his apartment.
01:12:17When you rented Hanson this apartment, did he give any references?
01:12:19Oh, yes, yes, yes, I have it right here.
01:12:23It's, uh, um, I can vouch that Mr. Von Snowden is a reliable person.
01:12:28Who wrote that?
01:12:29A doctor, Richard Box.
01:12:31Peter, I want to check out the guy with the pink baseball cap.
01:12:49He just assists it right with you.
01:12:50Sir, will you come and listen to me if I can make the one?
01:13:01Is there a problem?
01:13:06I mean, I have nothing to declare.
01:13:10$14,000.
01:13:12All undeclared.
01:13:14I forgot, I'm here to close a real estate deal.
01:13:19The 20 Faces of You, Quick and Easy Identity Changes.
01:13:23Miami Public Library.
01:13:26Six months overdue.
01:13:31Florida Driver's License, Wolfgang Eugene Von Snowden.
01:13:35California Driver's License, Ellis Henry Green.
01:13:44Ellis Henry Green.
01:13:48Missing since April 1988.
01:13:51Presumed murdered.
01:13:54Sir, put your hands behind your back.
01:13:59I-I want to be in a queen tank.
01:14:02I have rights, you know.
01:14:03Don't worry, you'll get there.
01:14:05Unless you can post about a couple million dollars bond.
01:14:08Let me die a few more times, maybe I could.
01:14:11Hello, Gene.
01:14:33Do you know who I am?
01:14:36Yes.
01:14:36Yes.
01:14:41Let's talk about John Hawkins.
01:14:45What have you got for me?
01:14:47What have I got?
01:14:51I'll tell you about John.
01:14:55When John walked into a room,
01:15:01it was magic.
01:15:05The place simply lit up.
01:15:07Man is amazing.
01:15:18Gene, Boggs has been indicted for murder.
01:15:22And we've got you cold.
01:15:26You're facing the death penalty.
01:15:29Now, we know that Hawkins had you and Boggs do his dirty work for him.
01:15:33Do you know what he's going to say when we nail him?
01:15:39He's going to say,
01:15:41it was Gene's idea.
01:15:43I wasn't even there.
01:15:49I have nothing to say about John.
01:15:55He's my friend.
01:15:56We've aired the story of John Hawkins several times these past two years.
01:16:13But tonight, we've got some new information.
01:16:16Last September, Hawkins applied for a passport using the name Bradley Bryant.
01:16:20His hair is slicked back and he may be using colored contact lenses to alter his eye color.
01:16:26Gene Hansen, his partner in crime, has been arrested in Texas and is being extradited to face charges in California.
01:16:33Ms. Weber?
01:16:34My name is Peter Stanford.
01:16:35I'm a detective.
01:16:37And I'm calling because your business card was found in the apartment of a man named John Hawkins.
01:16:42Do you know John Hawkins?
01:16:43Vaguely?
01:16:45Why?
01:16:46He's wanted for murder, miss.
01:16:47Oh, my God.
01:16:49Well, we talked on a plane once, but that was a long time ago.
01:16:54Well, I'm sorry, detective.
01:16:55I'm sorry I can't be of more help.
01:17:01I think you ought to be going soon.
01:17:03But not just yet.
01:17:08So, how will you get out of the country?
01:17:10There's ways.
01:17:13Hmm.
01:17:30British Consulate, passport and immigration.
01:17:33Yeah, I need a copy of my passport.
01:17:35Jeffrey Donald Copter.
01:17:37C-O-P-T-E-R.
01:17:39C-O-P-T-E-R.
01:17:50Hi, Carol.
01:17:52Chief's still still tight.
01:17:53Uh-huh.
01:17:55Uh-huh.
01:18:00ées.
01:18:01Flashstones with seams. I recommend them.
01:18:06Oh, really?
01:18:07Absolutely.
01:18:16Are you on the flight to London tonight?
01:18:19Yes.
01:18:20Are you?
01:18:21Uh-huh.
01:18:24Then you better get a move on.
01:18:31Hi, Carl. This is a friend of mine, Geoffrey Coffter.
01:18:42Oh, Geoffrey.
01:18:43Is everything okay?
01:18:44Oh, yeah.
01:18:45How's the angle?
01:18:46Never better.
01:18:47Thanks.
01:19:01Stanford.
01:19:07Hey, Peter. How was London?
01:19:10English.
01:19:11Stuart has had the right guy, but our boy was long gone.
01:19:15Too bad.
01:19:16At least you're getting to see the world.
01:19:17Yeah.
01:19:18Two and a half year world tour.
01:19:21Damn.
01:19:22What?
01:19:23He's still sending me postcards.
01:19:25Well, I got some great news.
01:19:27Oprah wants us on her show.
01:19:29No kidding.
01:19:30Nope.
01:19:31It's all set.
01:19:32It airs here and in Europe.
01:19:34It's a whole new audience and a whole new shot.
01:19:37Let's get busy.
01:19:41Come on, Marika.
01:19:44Think about Brazil.
01:19:48The beaches.
01:19:49Music.
01:19:52The sex.
01:19:54What about my job?
01:19:57Let me show you my boat.
01:19:59Hey, I know you.
01:20:08I used to work for you in one of your stores.
01:20:11Just sweats.
01:20:12The wrong guy.
01:20:13No, no, no.
01:20:13You're John Hawkins.
01:20:16You're sure you're the guy that...
01:20:18You got the wrong guy.
01:20:20What else do you got?
01:20:27The usual.
01:20:28London bank account with no money in it.
01:20:31An Irish woman with no clue as to who he was.
01:20:34And an Irish passport application under a phony name.
01:20:37You know, this guy's always been able to separate out the parts of his life.
01:20:42Women think he's straight.
01:20:43Men think he's gay.
01:20:44So maybe on the show we can tear down those walls and show the public the whole picture.
01:20:49Good.
01:20:49Hawkins with different looks.
01:20:51Before and after pictures.
01:20:52Crime scene photos.
01:20:54The viewers need to know that this is about a killer on the run and a grieving family left behind.
01:21:00Would Alice Green's mother come on the show?
01:21:03I can ask her.
01:21:03I talked to her last week.
01:21:05She said to be sure and thank you for what you've done.
01:21:08Tell her I've been there.
01:21:09I know how she feels.
01:21:11He's wanted for insurance fraud and murder.
01:21:13And we've been dogging this guy for nearly three years now.
01:21:16But he's very clever, very good looking, and he's a great con man.
01:21:20He's also bisexual, so he can adapt to a lot of different social situations, gay or straight.
01:21:26So, this is one of your more difficult cases.
01:21:28He's one of the ones that has been most frustrating.
01:21:31We know he's traveling under different names and at least four different passports.
01:21:35Irish, British, American, and Canadian.
01:21:37But there's one thing about John Hawkins that hasn't changed.
01:21:40He's still a party animal.
01:21:42Bastard.
01:21:42So, if any of your viewers have spotted him, please have him call this number.
01:21:461-800-CRIME-91.
01:21:49John?
01:21:50Yeah.
01:21:51A woman just called from Holland.
01:21:53She dated Hawkins and she's hopping man.
01:21:55Not about the murder, but because he was gay.
01:21:57Does she know where he is?
01:21:59He's sailing on a boat to Sardinia.
01:22:01A catamaran called a Carpe Diem.
01:22:03Carpe Diem?
01:22:04Latin for seize the day.
01:22:07Maybe this will be our day to seize him.
01:22:11Bernard Johnson, Naval Intelligence.
01:22:12Hey, there's a white catamaran on the other side of the bay.
01:22:25The guy with the girl?
01:22:27You think that's him?
01:22:29What did Glendale say about this guy?
01:22:30His zipper never closes?
01:22:32That's him.
01:22:32Uh-oh, he's living with a senorina.
01:22:37$100,000 quote.
01:22:39He'll be back.
01:22:41He's getting kind of a yeti.
01:22:42He's getting kind of a yeti.
01:22:56Here he comes.
01:22:57Excuse me, sir.
01:23:18Yeah?
01:23:19Can I see your passport?
01:23:21Oh, sure.
01:23:22Here you go.
01:23:22You're British?
01:23:29That's where I was born.
01:23:34Jeffrey Donald Copter.
01:23:36Captain.
01:23:36Jeffrey Donald Copter.
01:23:40Is that your boat, Mr. Copter?
01:23:43Yeah.
01:23:44Can I ask what this is about?
01:23:46Routine, sir.
01:23:47Nice boat.
01:23:49Thanks.
01:23:50Good night.
01:23:50Mr. Hawkins.
01:23:52Let's go!
01:24:22We need him alive!
01:24:48The oldest scam on the book, Hawkins. Nice try, though.
01:24:51That's the wrong person!
01:24:56Glendale. Yeah, he's here.
01:24:59Pete!
01:25:04Stanford.
01:25:09You got him?
01:25:12Are you serious? You really got him?
01:25:15What do you mean you're not sure it's him, didn't you?
01:25:21No.
01:25:23Jeffrey Copter's just another alias.
01:25:25Didn't you get the photo I sent?
01:25:28What? Release him? Are you nuts? The damn picture will be there!
01:25:32Son of a bitch!
01:25:40There's a way to identify him. Listen, uh...
01:25:43Have him... have him drop his pants.
01:25:46That's right, you heard me. Have him drop his pants.
01:25:50He's got this white spot.
01:25:51He's got his white spot.
01:25:56We should wear him.
01:26:10Mr. Copter?
01:26:12Yeah.
01:26:31It's him.
01:26:32What? What are they saying?
01:26:42Only in America.
01:26:44Only in America.
01:26:45You know, I'm kind of looking forward to this.
01:26:58After a look, after a look.
01:27:09Hello, Detective Stanford.
01:27:11John.
01:27:13Are you ready for your trip back to L.A.?
01:27:16John Hawkins, do you take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife?
01:27:20To have and to hold from this day forth, in sickness and in health, for better or for worse?
01:27:25I do.
01:27:27Then I now pronounce you husband and wife.
01:27:29You may kiss your bride.
01:27:32Excuse me. They're ready for you.
01:27:36Have a nice honeymoon, John.
01:27:38Send me a postcard.
01:27:41So you think it's love?
01:27:43Nah.
01:27:44It's conjugal business.
01:27:46Minutes before he was sentenced in Los Angeles, John Hawkins got married to Jenny Swift, with whom he had conceived a child while on the run.
01:27:55Gene Hansen and Richard Boggs were both convicted of murder and were sentenced to life in prison without parole.
01:28:02John Hawkins may have thought luck was on his side when the jury hung eight to four on the murder charge.
01:28:07But they did convict him of conspiracy to commit murder.
01:28:11In the end, Hawkins may have found his lady.
01:28:14But his luck ran out.
01:28:16Judge gave Hawkins 25 years to life.
01:28:19take Hawkins 25 years to life.
01:28:29I howlick dirigurd.
01:28:31To the murder, in'tounding horror, hollick 10 years to life.
