Larry, knocking off kind of early
tonight, aren't you, Sarge? I wish I

These after -dark jobs are murder.

I'll just throw some old clothes in the
car and get back to work.

You sure it's not some of the
merchandise?

I wouldn't do that without cutting you
in, kid.

Better hurry up. You're going to be late
for roll call. Listen, Sergeant.

You put me in kind of a funny situation.

You really shouldn't be taking any bags
out of the bank.

You rookie cops are always trying to
make the bigger rides, aren't you? Now

it.

Don't do it, Larry.

Nice of you to look in on me.

Where else have you got the paper?

Where to, Los Angeles?

I waited for the five -star.

And what did you find?

Same thing that was in the three -star.

Wrote cop eludes police for seventh day.

Wounded officer still critical.
Commissioner says city shut tight.

can't escape.

But he did.

What can you do without the editorial
comments?

The detective had a part -time job at
the bank as a relief watchman. One week

ago, he took $150 ,000.

In unmarked bills, but the rogue cop
hadn't counted on the appearance of

patrolman Larry Riley.

Then there's a lot about Riley's
condition and his father and two

on the force.

Rogue cop, detective, detective, rogue
cop. How they eat that up. That's what

Hickman is.

He, Eunice, won.

Try to tell the public that.

Hickman was a cop. He turned bad. Ergo,
all cops are bad.

What kind of guy was this Hickman?

Good and getting better.

Brave without being foolish.

He was intelligent, which means he could
learn.

He also think for himself, and that made
him special.

My aching back.

My feet.

If you two are an example of the younger
generation, I'll take us senior

citizens. Mercy, Chief.

Do you know where we've been? Every
hotel, motel, trailer camp, and flop

in the Bay Area.

Terminals, air, rail, and bus, abandoned
buildings, vacant lots, ships at

anchor, ships at sea, stadiums, parks,
aqueducts and viaducts, and the San

Francisco sewer system.

Yeah.

Hickman's gone.

Correction.

Hickman is in hiding. He can't get out.

He was a cop, he knows that.

And he was a smart cop.

You know, the difference between robbery
and using a gun.

Larry Riley told the commissioner
Hickman didn't want to shoot, but he did

shoot, and that makes him dangerous.

If Riley dies, Hickman's a killer.

I'm sorry.

I won't be here long enough for you to
truth the call, Chief.

Where are you?

No questions. You know why I'm calling.
I'm tired of running.

I need a ride.

This is the police department, as you
may remember.

You don't need me for insurance. You'll
get a fair trial.

Now come in.

Come on, Chief. I'd never get in.

Not with the Rileys looking for me and
be shot while I was trying to escape

my hands over my head.

The Rileys aren't killers.

Don't argue with me, Chief.

And don't try to stall me on the
telephone. I'm dealing.

I'll come in with you.

Just you.

No other cops. No tricks.

No men on rooftops, no men in doorways,
no unmarked cars.

If you want me, you just get in that
paddy wagon and come on out.

Where?

Fifteen minutes.

What does he want?

He says he wants to give himself up.

Yeah, I'll bet.

Where is he?

It's for me to know and you not to find
out.

I'm swearing you and Eve to secrecy.

Hickman said no other cops.

Mark?

Hickman said you can't go after him
alone.

You know that this is a trick.

I know that I've got a lead after seven
days, and I'm taking it.

This is over and above the call of duty,
Mark. You don't have to go.

I can drive that wagon.

Driving that wagon is my job, and I
haven't resigned.

I am going with you. Sergeant, you are
about to become an ex -sergeant. That's

better than being one of your
pallbearers.

I'm going alone or we've lost him.

He can smell other cops.

He knows how we think.

I want him, Ed.

I'm not going to take a chance on losing
him.

We gonna wait here all night?

If we have to.

Chief.

Guess you never pinched a rogue cop
before, did you?

Never wanted to.

Let's have your peace.

How's Riley?

Still alive?

Something, honey.

No fault of yours.

Sergeant Brown.

Are you all right, Chief? What happened?
Where are you?

I am sound in mind and body. I have a
guest. I am coming in.

When will you be in?

Oh, 15 minutes, more or less.

My guest asked for privacy until we
reached the hall.

So this wagon will not arouse police
interest by ignoring traffic

I don't get fooled very often. I counted
on that. Where's the other one?

You know, Fred, I really believed you
were coming in. And that.

Have you got any questions, driver?

You've got a live chief back here.

Why don't you help keep him that way?

But I don't take orders from you.

See if amateurs talk like amateurs.

You want to tell your driver this is not
a YMCA tournament?

Do whatever he says, Mark.

All right, Mark, now just drive north.

And don't ignore any traffic
regulations.

All right, say it. Let's get that over
with.

You are not going to make it.

You're going to watch me make it.

You're going to help me make it.

There isn't a road or a bridge or an
airport or a ship that isn't covered.

Well, this wagon isn't covered, and
that's why I'm going to get through.

Through where?

Every police officer, every highway
patrolman, every federal law enforcement

agency in America is looking for you?

In less than 12 hours, they're going to
be looking for a ghost.

Because you're leaving the country?

A lot of men have had that idea.

I brought a lot of them in.

And I'm going to bring you in.

Whether you like it or not.

The roadblock.

All right, that don't get stupid.

Off a joyride?

Did you ever ask the chief why he was
going somewhere?

How's the old boy been feeling these
days?

Same as always.

Sweet and lovable.

He hasn't changed a bit, huh?

Hey, I got something that'll make him
feel better.

Hey, chief, I got something good for you
at Bay Meadows tomorrow.

He's going off at 16 to 1.

Good honor.

Hi, chief. I got something.

Did you have?

Got the talking bug.

And it's time it was cured.

But, sir, I wanted to tell you about...
I've heard... enough of you for the

current calendar year.

Now Mark, get this vehicle out of here.

He's a great friend of yours.

He isn't always this nice.

You gonna kill first, Mark or me?

We got a long ride to get to.

And then you tell us.

Come on, because I suddenly got a taste
for blood.

From now on, I go around blasting when
anybody looks sideways at me, sir.

You're not gonna have much choice.

Why, because you say so?

What makes you the wise man of the
mountain? What do you know?

I suppose you think I just woke up one
morning and thought that bank vault was

cafeteria counter.

I'd worked in that bank for a year,
Chief.

I could have filled my kitty the first
night.

What do you expect, Fred? A for effort?

What are you reaching?

Oh, I thought you could use a drink.

Go on, you're off duty. I don't remember
you as a teetotaler.

I never even remember anything about me.

What do you know?

Hickman, Fred. That is number 2186.

Twelve years on the force.

One citation for heroism.

One medal for extraordinary courage.

Take -home pay, $142 .97 a week.

On my day, it was $91 .50.

You were single.

You don't go back that far.

Married men made it. They still do.

Just... Don't preach to me, will you? I
made it too.

Off duty, you... I never had a drink
when I was off duty. I was always

working too hard.

A centipede couldn't have handled the
jobs I was holding down.

My baby was sick for four months. It
took me four years to pay that off.

Four years, Chief.

That and the funeral.

So you decided to get even? Giddy.

I couldn't get even.

I couldn't keep up with the bills.

Car, mortgage, insurance.

Another baby.

New roof.

New furnace.

New coat.

New life?

Can't have it.

I don't see it.

You must have lost the use of your
brains as well as your legs, because

it.

Unless you keep shooting.

All right, here's your toll.

No change, no conversation.

Nice evening.

Will you be kind enough to move?

Save a lot of lives tonight, see?

A little different from your new line of
work.

I wanted to shoot that kid for his gun.

It was supposed to be there. Nobody was
supposed to be there. Nobody ever was. I

went through that thing a hundred times.

Dry runs, in and out, in and out.

You gotta pick a night when some rookie
super cop decides to walk to

headquarters for a parole call.

Point is, you shot it.

It was as much his fault as it was mine.

But you pulled the trigger.

Why didn't you call me immediately?

The chief said everything.

The chief said.

This building is not Bob Ironside's
private club.

But you assigned me to him, sir.

But I didn't ask you to take leave of
your senses.

You're lucky we didn't pull off the
roadblocks. The chief didn't say. I

when we pull roadblocks, young lady.

You let a man in a wheelchair go on
after a man like Fred Hickman? I wanted

go, sir. I begged him to take me. He
said Hickman was too smart that he'd

So out he went.

The new Don Quixote and his Sancho
Panzers.

Well, unless Hickman was in Hawaii, your
chief should be back by now.

I'd like to talk to Mr. Coyote.

This is the commissioner.

Give me Ironside on Mobile.

Not yet.

Move on the shoulder and stop.

And now the wagon can't go out of
control if he gets killed. You

Chief?

Answer it.

Answer it.

Answer it.

Where in the name of common sense have
you been?

Why haven't I heard from you?

Are you all right?

Where are you? If you don't mind, I'll
answer one question at a time. We're

right on schedule, proceeding as
planned.

You were supposed to be here a half an
hour ago.

I am not responsible for the traffic
congestion of this community.

All right, when will you be here?

If you keep talking before you hang up.

Then your mission has been accomplished.

So far, so good.

Riley.

What's the latest on Riley?

Not good.

Anything I can do for you?

It's all been done.

Good work, Bob. I'll see you soon.

He's in trouble.

I want an APB on Ironside and warn all
units to exercise extreme caution.

You played it straight.

Randall's got a pretty good head on him.
He might figure it out anyway.

That's all right. I've got a head start
on them, and I've got you.

If that makes you think you'll make it
with me or without me.

Tell you what, let me ask you a
question. Where is Guatemala?

I mean, exactly.

Or Costa Rica or San Salvador, any one
of those.

You don't know.

Neither did I until I looked at a map,
and neither did most people. That takes

half the curse off the odds against me.

Because they've got to find the right
country before they even start looking.

All right, Chief, I pick myself one of
those countries.

Then I buy myself a little plantation
near a village.

After that, I invite the village cop
over for a drink.

You know what we make. So you've got a
pretty good idea what that cop gets.

When he leaves that plantation, he's got
$100 American in his pocket.

A married cop in a country without any
birth control.

And every month after that, he picks up
another $100, as long as he never heard

of a Yankee stranger in his precinct.

All units, all units.

This is an ATV.

Loud and clear.

Chief, I inside. Believed to be prisoner
of suspect rogue.

Vehicle last seen crossing roadblock at
point four, shortly before 9 p .m.

That's enough.

Don't think so, loud chief.

By the time that APB reaches Highway
Patrol headquarters on Sacramento, the

dispatcher gets it out.

I'll be the invisible man.

We're out of gas.

You can look at the gauge if you don't
believe me.

All right, now, listen. Gas means gas in
and out.

Get off the road up ahead.

Let's not pick one of those big league
stations that all lit up like celebrity

night. Wait until you find a small one.

There's one.

You need me more than I need you.

No one.

How are you?

Name your pleasure.

Fill it up, huh?

Uh... You forgot to tell me. Regular or
premium?

Regular.

Nice regards. Good evening.

Don't have to yell, mister. I got the
ears of a hound dog.

I'm sorry.

We're looking for a man, a man by the
name of Fisher.

Supposed to live around here does Tom
Fisher.

Oh, this is Oscar Fisher now

Two gallons you must have a busted gauge

Yeah,

I guess it just happened

Much light.

Hey, you!

What?

Save stamps?

No, I don't.

All right, let's get going. We're late.

All right, smart apple.

That old man with the bum eyes just
saved your life.

The next time you write anything, it's
going to be your death warrant.

Tahoe, here we come.

There are police in Tahoe.

You had your chance.

Right in the bottle and couldn't cork
it. Seven whole days.

Statute of limitations is seven years,
except for murder.

They can always get you for that.

They're gonna have to find me first.

Oh, yes. All right. Thank you.

The highway patrol has completed a sweep
of all coast highways.

They've turned off.

They had to turn inland.

Which leaves the continental United
States.

But he hasn't got a chance in the United
States, so he'll try and get out.

Since he turned away from the ocean, he
doesn't plan to sail out.

And every airline counter from San Diego
to Seattle has a picture of him. So he

can't fly out.

Unless... Unless he sprouts wings.

Or charters a plane.

The borders are blocked.

Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, Mexico.

He was heading north, so you start
there.

Eureka. And ready.

Work your way south. Call every airport.
If they've got a charter service, ask

if anything's been hired for anywhere.

I'm going to start up 101.

All right, wise up. We'll get out of
that can.

The blame is wrong, Fred.

So far, I've been right.

All right, move him. I don't want a
scrimmage.

You know, once you shoot, you're in no
man's land.

You knew that all along? You said I
wouldn't have a choice.

You hate my guts. You'd never stop
trying to find me. And you... You just

be the guy who could do it.

Fred?

Fred? Over here.

Don't try it.

Hey.

I told you I'd make it, huh?

What are they doing here?

Why did you bring him?

Well, I just kind of needed a ride.

What's the matter? No kiss?

It's Ms. Hickman, isn't it?

Yes.

Honey, take this out of the cabin, will
you?

Well, aren't you coming?

Yeah, in a second.

I, uh, I'm Bob Ironside.

We've never met.

This is Mark Sanger.

I know.

Go on, then.

What are you gonna do? I'm gonna follow
you.

Jane, do what I tell you.

Uh, Ms. Hickman.

I hope there's hot coffee.

I'll make some.

That cabin isn't soundproof.

She'll hear two shots.

All right, move in.

That won't help you either.

Your wife left three men out here.

Only one is going to appear in that
cabin.

How are you going to explain that?

She'll believe what I tell her.

Would you let us go?

That I escaped?

Ran down the hill, maybe?

Would you tell that nice wife of yours
that you just killed two men in cold

blood?

All right.

All right, but all you bought was a
postponement.

Now get him up there.

Jenny, I didn't even open your present.

I'll get the coffee.

What is it?

Just a toy.

Hardly lethal.

You all right?

Sure.

I hope I didn't wake him.

Seems to be broken.

like his old man, Wild Horses.

How's my tiger?

I'm worried about Tommy.

He knows something's wrong.

When he wakes up, he's going to know
everything's all right.

Come here.

Come here.

From now on, he's going to have a
father, not just a shadow, a guy who

and changes his clothes and goes out to
another job somewhere.

I've done it, Janie. I've got it made.

Are you sure, Fred?

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

What time does the airplane come?

Well, they said as soon as it got light
enough for them to land on the leg.

About six o 'clock.

Is there any problems?

I told them I wanted to rent an
amphibian because my husband was sick

needed a specialist.

Your husband is going to make a speedy,
sudden recovery.

We're going to Mexico instead, huh?

Now, could I talk you into making me
some kind of a sandwich

to go along with that cup of coffee?

Because I'm starved to death.

I mean, it's okay.

Everything's fine.

It's been very quiet around here, Miss
Whitfield.

We've only had one flight in the last 24
hours.

Tahoe. Who took it?

Mrs. Lawrence, said her husband was sick
and needed a specialist.

Left over an hour ago.

Thank you.

Now, get in here.

What's the matter?

It's our passing of life. If anybody
spots a cheap flag in us, it could mean

trouble.

Now, you're going to have to do exactly
as I say.

Here.

Honey, this is for our protection.

Here's my girl.

Now, if you make the move...

If he raises a finger, you... Shoot?

Funny, I've got to put that wagon away
so it can't be seen on the road.

That won't be more than five minutes.

But if he tries anything, you've got to
stop him.

All right?

You just remember I've got him with me.

You know, Mrs. Hickman, in all my years
as a police officer, I've never

encountered anyone less fitted for the
role she was playing than you.

Well, I haven't had very much time to
rehearse, Mr. Irontide.

Are you so sure you want the part?

I don't want to match wits with you.

From the evidence I've heard, I think
I'd lose.

Holds, Tommy.

And I don't want Tommy in this.

Seems to me the only way you can
accomplish that is by putting him up for

adoption.

Hardly deserves an answer, does it?

As I said, hardly lethal.

Hardly operative, either.

Maybe I can remedy that for your son.

Maybe if I turn this.

I guess not.

Sorry.

How old is Tommy?

Five.

Old enough to get out of bed and open
that bedroom door and see his mother

holding a gun?

A gun she's prepared to use against an
innocent man?

You're a cruel man.

If you call the truth cruel.

You're an accomplice, Mrs. Hickman.

You're ready to shoot me.

Shoot to kill. What am I supposed to do?

He's already done it.

He said he had to, that there was no
other way.

Tommy and I had to come here and wait.
Wait for a bank robber?

For my husband. For all I've got in this
whole world.

For all Tommy has.

All Tommy has is a hundred men for a
father. I know that.

And here's something you don't know.

Your husband shot a man.

Wounded him critically.

Did he tell you that?

Did he tell you that he shot a police
officer?

A young rookie who may die?

Is that your loving husband and father?

A killer?

Is it?

Okay, okay, I'll get it somehow. Even
the raccoons couldn't find it.

You ought to have something to eat.

What's the matter?

I'll get your food.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

I said, what's the matter?

Something happened. I leave her for five
minutes and I come back to a funeral.

What?

He says you shot a policeman.

He drew a gun on me, didn't tell you
that?

Riley wasn't even supposed to be there.

Honey, look, do you... Do you think I
would have taken $150 ,000 out of that

bank if I'd known there was a reception
committee waiting for me? It was him or

me, Jane.

There was another way.

You just stay out of this, Spoiler.
You've had your turn. Now it's mine.

I live for you and for Tommy.

Everything I did, everything was for us,
for the three of us.

For us?

You shot a man for us?

Honey, if

you turn against me now, I'm finished
because I don't have anything.

coffee. Yeah.

Hey, honey, this is good food.

When we get settled in, you can have as
many servants as you'd like.

That would be nice.

No cook.

There's no one who can do that like you.

It's going to be sweet.

I can taste it.

All right, I told you before.

Ow!

Now hold it. Go ahead and shoot, Fred. I
told you before you wouldn't be able to

stop. Leave him alone, Fred. Leave him
alone. Just leave him alone.

All right, Janie, Janie, shut up. It's
your way.

It's your way, all right?

What do you want me to do?

Let him go for help?

I want to clean that wound.

Now get me some hot water and towels.

Now!

trying to deal.

Yeah, that wagon was in here.

Couldn't forget that get -up. Yeah, how
long ago?

Oh, about an hour, an hour and a half.

My watch busted years ago, and I...

Huh?

Could be.

Yeah, it looks like him.

Yeah, that... That's the seller.

No stamps.

Yes, sir.

Now, try to think.

Did he mention where they were headed?

No.

Well, which way'd they go?

Thank you.

our first stop, honey.

Acapulco or Mexico City.

All right.

What do you mean, all right?

I'm not a mind reader.

This boy needs a doctor.

Uh -uh. His pulse is dropping
dangerously.

You can't just let him lie there. No
visitors.

Well, the doctor doesn't have to know.
We can say he fell.

Sure, he fell and hit his head on a gun.
No.

No, on a rock.

Oh, please, Fred.

Please, Fred. Please, Fred. Every hour
on the hour, it's something else, isn't

it? I'll never ask for anything else. I
promise.

All right, Chief. You wanted to be
locked up.

But you don't want to move him.

We'll tie you up when the airplane
lands. First, I don't believe you.

wouldn't help.

Fred, let me call a doctor.

Honey, we're only three hours from our
first stop. We can call a doctor from

airport. Mark could be dead in three
hours.

Don't listen to him, Jane. He's just
trying to play you. Now, I'm not going

tell you again. You're not dealing.

Please, Fred. No, this cabin is full up.

You want to ruin everything?

You did.

You did.

Shooting.

Letting people die. We can't live like
this.

Relax, relax.

Oh, Fred, please.

Now. Reach in your pocket.

But slowly.

Didn't they have any rum crunchy?

We are not running an a la carte
restaurant.

Sergeant Brown.

Yeah, hey, that's great.

Thank you.

Larry Riley has turned the corner. He's
gonna be all right.

You know, I'm glad for Hickman's little
boy and his wife.

How about his wife? She's the first one
in the visitor's room every day.

They've got a chance yet.

Isn't that wonderful, Chief?

Just rum crunchy.

They'll all live happily ever after,
leaving me with an ice cream -eating

who can't drive, who lies around healing
slowly and drawing a huge salary at my

expense. Chief, we know you wouldn't
have it any other way.
