The Rockford Files: To Protect and Serve, Part 1 (1977)
In the first half of a two-part story, police detective Dennis Becker (Joe Santos) is harrassed by Lianne Sweeney (Joyce Van Patten), a "police groupie" who monitors the Department's activities via her radio and dogs Dennis' trail during his investigation of a very difficult case. Lianne's interference may also mess up the efforts by Jim Rockford (James Garner) to locate Patsy Fossler (Leslie Charleson), the missing fiancee of lawyer Michael Kelly (Jon Cypher). The situation worsens when Kelly reveals himself as a mob functionary, determined to have Patsy killed lest she blow the whistle on his bosses. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
