Yeah, that was the episode was on A MAN CALLED HAWK, where the lead guy from the movie STRICKLY BUSINESS and had played the Navy husband on The Cosby Show, was Bailey (Angela) jealous boyfriend with a nasty temper. Her car broke down and Hawk came to help her out. The doctor rolls up in his car and seeing Hawk, the Doctor asks Bailey something along the line of "Who's that?" (Not the regular "who's that?", but the `boyfriend sees another man near his woman' "WHO'S THAT?")
Bailey says that Hawks a friend of the family, but Hawk can tell that boyfriend is jealous, says a few words and bounces. Later in the club, Bailey is dancing with a guy, and the boyfriend walks over and punches him in the mouth and drags Angels out of the club. Later at the house; Baileys mother (ORACLE from the Matrix) TELLS her that you can't make excuses for her boyfriend. Bailey tells her that she's taking a job in DC. The boyfriend comes to the house pleading to talk to Bailey. Mom says, "If I don't let you see her, are you going to hit me to? So Bailey comes down the stairs, the boyfriend pleads for forgiveness, Bailey says its to late, blah-blah-blah. The subplot is that Baileys boyfriend has a gangsta younger brother (played by Wendell Pierce) who is involved criminal business of which durng one crime job he gets shot by Hawks .357. The younger brother convinces his Doctor brother to give him medical care for the gunshot wound. In true comic-book form, they had the cross over of Bailey and Hawk on SPENCER FOR HIRE (where she was introduced first) Bailey Webster (Angela Bassett) gets out of a cab in front of the hospital and bumps into Hawk who's just left his her ailing father -BAILEY (Gasp) Hawk, is he? They hug each other -HAWK (stoic) No. -BAILEY Thank God. They look in each others eyes -HAWK Do you have a place to stay? -BAILEY No, I just got here. -HAWK Keys where it's always been. Bailey remembers the old days. -BAILEY (fighting back a grin) No, that ah..won't be a good idea right now. Hawk signals the taxi in the driveway. It drives over and stops in front of them. Hawk opens the door, puts her Louis Vutton in to the back seat. -HAWK Take her to the Four Seasons Hotel, ask for Jimmy. Tell him Hawk sent you. Bailey looks at Hawk with temptation in her eyes. She walks to the cab door. -BAILEY Thank you Hawk. -HAWK Anytime babe. --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, "Keith Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I remember the series.
