The Presidio
1988, English. Directed by Peter Hyams.
He didn't want to share the murder investigation. There's no way he's going to share his daughter.
Jay Austin is now a civilian police detective. Colonel Caldwell was his commanding officer years before when he left the military police over a disagreement over the handling of a drunk driver. Now a series of murders that cross jurisdictions force them to work together again. That Austin is now dating Caldwell's daughter is not helping their relationship.
