Starsky and Hutch are there, Hutch is explaining the accesses to the room and all the ins and outs of the situation while Starsky is following him around and gazing. The buyers and courier do not appear to be listening, but as a group they acknowledge that they were. Out of the pouch comes the shiny diamonds and off the boys go to sit on the couch, ready to watch the sale. They're so domestic, sharing the paper (Hutch requesting the section Starsky was getting ready to read). The comedy routine is about to begin. Mr. Van Dam starts the bidding at three million, which earns lowered papers from the boys. Mr. Adachi and Mr. Van Dam start bidding against each other and the boys relax. That is, until Prince Nairobi pops up with a four million dollar bid. The boys freak, throwing down their papers and starting forward to head off this disaster, but Mr. Van Dam outbids him and all is well again. Holland just got some lovely jewels. Prince Nairobi starts playing with the diamonds as the other buyers talk. He's a showman to the core. He drops the diamonds in Mr. Van Dam's pouch and opens his hand to prove he's not pocketing any. Starsky and Hutch are heading towards the door, Starsky taking out the radio from the vase to let the outside crew know that it's over. The buyers are all talking amongst themselves about their families. Mr. Adachi's quintuplets have the Asian Flu, bad joke.
Elevator arrives and the attendant is none other than "The Baron." Nobody's the wiser. Hutch bids them all goodbye, thanking the courier, telling Mr. Van Dam something that even Hutch doesn't understand himself, telling Mr. Adachi sayonara, and saying to Huggy "see you later, bro." I love Hutch. As the elevator doors close, they recognize that the attendant had a gun. Starsky calls down to Dobey that they can follow "The Baron" with the bug they put into the pouch. Down the stairs they run, Dobey giving them directions. The bug's signal is on the 16th floor. "The Baron" exits the elevator, leaving his stunned victims on the floor. He goes to his room and starts changing clothes. Starsky and Hutch burst out of the stairwell, Starsky asking Dobey for more direction. Hutch doesn't need directions, he's just gonna start opening doors. The sights you can see when you haven't got your gun.
They get a lamp flung at them by an angry lady and a very angry man curses at them. The signal is moving down again, but Hutch determines it's not inside, but outside. Into the angry lady's room again, she starts shouting and goes off to call the manager. The boys spot a window cleaner and figure that's gotta be their man. Out of the room they go, angry lady slamming the door behind them. They descend in the elevator, very impatiently, but they make it to the ground floor before the window washer. They wait, figuring they got their man, but alas it's not to be. However, the audience is in the know and can see that the window washer is actually one of the goons that work for "The Baron." Three uniforms gather down the street, one of which is "The Baron" himself. Starsky and Hutch uncover the other goon lying on the floor of his scaffolding, scared but alive.
