Tonight's episode, time out.

Good morning, Sergeant Mack.

Telson.

Washington.

Kimberly? You can smoke if you want, one
man at a time. Use the x -ray.

Management will appreciate your
cooperation.

No, I never used this stuff. I used to
rent it.

You see, before our department arrested
Mr. Kraft, he and his partner were

flying the Mexican Triangle.

Mexicali, Juarez, Phoenix.

What were you, Mr. Telfman? A culturist.

I grew grass and distilled acid.

I was going to be a big operator.

Now I'm operating in an 8x10 cell.

Tell him what you're growing there,
Billy.

dark thoughts.

You wouldn't want any part of them.

Well, I'm what it's all about.

I'm a hardcore addict.

You don't want to be one unless you want
to shoot it in your arm or in between

your toes till your veins collapse and
you end up like them guys who set fire

themselves. You can't move a muscle.

Listen to him.

But most of you know the drug scene.

So let's talk about something you don't
know anything about.

Prison.

It's a whole new scene.

How to stay alive each day. Right,
Sergeant Mack?

All

right,

hold up.

Give me the keys.

No excuses, Lieutenant.

I was set for a special assignment right
after this rap session.

And I... I just forgot I was carrying my
piece.

Well, why were there only two unarmed
guards assigned to four convicts? Well,

the men were model prisoners.

They were considered good risks. By
whom?

The prison. Sergeant Mack.

Sergeant Mack?

Yeah, the guard they took as a hostage.

Look, get in that ambulance.

Let the doctor take a look at your head.

Did you get the records from the prison?
Yeah. And we also put on an APP on the

station wagon.

You know, two of them were short timers.
Doesn't make any sense.

Nothing does when a man's waving a gun
around. What did you get?

Okay, William Telson, less than a year
to serve.

Gerald Washington, upper parole in two.

Harold Kraft, probably the most
dangerous of the four. He pulled the

to 20. Which means he doesn't have much
to lose. Right.

The brains. Joseph Kimberly, 5 to 10.
Did you get copies made of these?

already being distributed. How's the
guy?

Well, he's on the critical list.

Listen, I want every man we can grab on
this case. Come on.

Mind turning the radio on, Telson?

How did you know it was me?

By the way you breathe.

It's pretty close inside the walls,
isn't it, Mac?

Sergeant Mac.

Go on, turn on the radio.

I want to hear what happened to that
guard you shot. You just watch your

You don't give the orders anymore.

And I didn't shoot anybody. It was
craft.

Doesn't matter who pulled the trigger,
Billy. You know that. And your testimony

could make the difference, couldn't it?

You're thinking.

It's real good.

Think about the six months you had left.

It could have been easy time.

It wasn't my idea to escape. I didn't
even want to come.

I know that.

So untie me.

We go back together, I tell him the
truth, that you gave up voluntarily.

I've got something to do first.

If you don't do it right now, Billy,
you'll get another five for jailbreak.

And if that guard dies, it could be the
gas chamber.

Why should I trust you?

Because I trusted you.

It's a two -way street.

You know, the way things are going,
Kraft's got nothing to lose by wasting

you.

Would you rather trust him?

Huh, Billy?

Billy, you listening?

I don't want to die, and neither do you.
Okay.

It's a deal.

Come on, Towson. This is the last bus to
Frisco.

What are you going to do?

I'm going to get rid of a witness.

Hey, come on. We've got enough heat
already.

Let's just get out of here.

He's out of my way.

Harry, we're wasting time.

Now, this is the latest we've got.

Okay, thanks.

They're going to need a change of
clothes, money, and new transportation.

Now, here's the report. Two stolen
vehicles reported within the last hour.

Granada and a white van.

I put out wants on both of them.

Anything on their friends and relatives?

Nothing on Kraft or Kimberly.

Washington has a brother in the city
somewhere. We're still looking.

Billy Telson has a wife, but the prison
says his letters to her have been

returned. Mark, none of this address.

You keep checking. Think they're going
to stick together?

Not if they're smart. Hey, Mike, we just
got a call from one of our choppers. He

thinks he spotted that station wagon at
the north end of Lincoln Park.

Units are on the way.

Well, they had me blindfolded, so I
couldn't see what they were driving,

It sounded more like a pickup or a van
than a car.

Well, did you happen to hear about where
they might be going?

No. They're probably out of town by now.

They're still around.

Why do you say that?

Because I know them.

I lived in the same cell block with them
for the last three years, Lieutenant.

Inside the walls, you either know your
people or you're dead.

Well, I'm still alive.

And they're out on the streets carrying
a .38.

Which they didn't get from me. Oh, now,
wait a minute. Nobody's blaming you,

Sergeant.

Why don't you tell us everything you
know?

Start with Kimberly. He's got a lot of
money hidden somewhere abroad.

He'll go straight to it, and Kraft will
go with him.

He's greedy, but not until he settles a
score first.

What score?

Somebody snitched on him. That's how he
got nailed.

He'll go straight for the guy who did
it. Kraft was busted five years ago. You

think he still cares?

He cares.

And what about Telson?

His wife stopped visiting him and
stopped writing.

That's where Billy will go. And
Washington?

Used to be a junkie. Only thing he'll be
thinking about is getting a fix. He

should be easy to find.

I'll bring him in.

That's our job.

Oh, no trouble, Lieutenant.

Oh, we'll do that. You just tell us
where to look.

Washington had a cellmate named Benny
Lester.

He's out on parole now. Used to hustle
pool on the west side.

That's it?

Yeah, that's it. Okay, thanks, Sergeant.

The officer will drive you home.

I want you to get... Mrs. Telson's
address.

I'll pull the craft records and see if I
can get the name of that informer.

This city's a trap.

Surrounded by water on three sides.

First we get rid of them, then we ditch
the van.

And then we go see Tegan. We won't have
time.

But we'll make time. Harry Taggart has
nothing to do with this deal.

Forget him. I can't forget him. He's our
ticket to Mexico.

He owns a charter service, a whole fleet
of planes.

We were partners until he turned me in.
He owes me, Joe.

We're coming to a nice, quiet corner.

This is where you get out.

Hey, man, you got us into this. You
can't just... This is where you get out.

Where do we go from here?

I've got to find my wife.

Will she help us? No.

I have to talk to her.

Talk is nothing.

What we need is help, money, a car.

Why don't you turn yourself in, Jerry?

What about you?

Maybe later.

Take it easy, huh?

Hey, Billy, good luck.

Are you hungry?

No.

You're sure?

What did the warden say?

Told me to take a couple of days off.

Will there be an inquiry?

Yeah, I guess.

Soon?

How's Charlie?

Not good.

I was with Sarah when he came out of
surgery.

He looked just awful.

Is he going to die?

Oh, no.

Charlie Sims is tougher than you are.

Oh, honey, I'm so sorry.

Thirteen years, I had a clean record.

Something to be proud of in that
hellhole.

Now the whole thing's gone down the
drain.

They can't hold you responsible.

I hold me responsible.

I trusted them.

I recommended them. And they turn around
and stick a knife in my back.

Nothing you can do about it now.

So leave it alone, huh?

I'll make you a sandwich.

They broke the trust.

What?

It's unwritten, Susan, but it's there
just the same.

They don't turn on me, I don't turn on
them. That's how we live together.

Well, they broke it.

After all I did for them. I know.

I told Sarah I'd look in on her kids.

Come on, I want you to have something to
eat first.

Dumb, that's what they are.

Yeah.

You know, I can tell you practically
every move they're going to make.

They'll be caught, don't worry.

By who?

Cops?

They don't even know where to begin.

Well, I do.

Teach those punks they can't break me.

Where are you going?

I'm going to find them, and I'm going to
bring them back.

Feet first if I have to.

Earl, you can't. I've got to, Susan.
It's my life on the line.

What are you talking about?

You think the warden's ever going to
trust me again?

And what about the other cons?

They'll think I'm soft, which will mean
I'm easy bait for any guy who thinks he

can take me.

Well, I'm not going to let that happen
just because four punks broke the trust.

No, Earl!

If I let him out, I'm going to put him
back in.

Yeah, that was Sid's case. He made the
bust just before he retired.

What's the problem?

Well, I'll tell you what the problem is.

Kraft might be looking for the guy who
sold him out. I checked his trial

transcripts and came up with nothing,
empty -handed.

There was an informer, but no name on
the record.

Maybe his testimony wasn't needed at the
trial.

I need it.

Sid moved to Florida.

Maybe I could give him a call.

Would you do that for me, please?

Mike?

Located Telson's wife.

Is that her present address? It's always
been her address ever since she and

Telson were married.

Then why did they send his mail back
marked N .A.? Why don't we ask her?

Always thinking, huh?

Oh, listen, let me know how you make
out.

Hello, Benny. How you doing?

I hear your parole's working out real
good.

Wes, how does it feel being back with
the family again?

You hear something? I can smell it.

Yeah, locker room number five.

I asked you a question.

Hey, come on. We're not in the yard now,
Sergeant Mack.

Yeah, I hear you're just another
civilian.

It's a butt out.

I'm looking for Jerry Washington.

He's in prison.

Up until this morning.

I want to know where he is now.

You owe me, Benny.

Okay. All right.

You wait right there, and I'll go and
get him.

How am I doing, Sarge? Huh?

How am I doing, Sarge? I'm moving as
fast as I can, Sarge.

Huh? I'm going as fast as I can, Sarge.
I'm moving as fast as I can. Gotta get

old Jerry for the man.

On a double, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I don't owe you anything.

You don't, huh?

I could have put you on a report a
hundred times, and I never did.

Oh, well, that was then.

Now's now.

You want to know something, Sarge?

When we were in the can, I did a lot of
sweet talking to you.

But truthfully, I never met a screw who
was worth a spit.

You know, Benny, you're going to be
back.

I'd sure show some respect if I were
you.

So, let's say Jerry Washington needed a
quick fix.

This is his turf, isn't it, huh?

Where do you suppose he'd go to get it?

Well, you're going to tell me, Benny?

Or do I have to beat it out of you, huh?

Once you get lost, you're crazy. Hey,
hey, hey.

You're crazy, Mac. You know that? You're
crazy.

You've been behind the bars too long,
man.

Because out here in the streets, ain't
nobody going to help you.

You keep pushing people.

pushing people, and you're going to end
up dead.

Oh, yes, Miss Tellson still lives there,
but I don't think she's home right now,

and I don't know where she works.

Have you seen this man around today?

No, I don't think so.

But when you live in a city this size,
you see so many people that sooner or

later you stop seeing what they look
like. That's right.

Why don't I leave that picture with you
just to remind you? All right.

Oh, by the way, Miss Telson usually gets
home around 5 .30 or 6. If you want to

come back then.

I'll call for a sticker. Yeah, thank
you. And her young man usually gets here

hour or so earlier.

Her young man?

The one who comes to visit.

I think his name is Jimmy or something
like that. Oh, but I didn't ask. I mean,

it's none of my business.

Oh, of course. Yes, thank you.

Inspector 8 -1.

Inspector 8 -1.

Inspector's 8 -1.

Robin's here.

Dan, there's been a fight in a pool hall
over on 4th. 10 -4. Go.

I'm sorry, sir.

We're closing early.

There's been a sudden family illness.

Why don't you come back tomorrow?

I got the front locked up. Let's go.

Wait a minute. We need the keys to the
car.

I'm not sure who the guy was.

The manager said you called him Sergeant
Mack.

Oh, so I was mistaken.

What are you covering for?

You afraid he's going to bust your
parole?

No, nothing like that.

Who started the fight?

He did.

Why? He was looking for some guy.

Who was he looking for?

Hey, why don't we just forget the whole
thing?

We don't want to press charges anyway.

Maybe I do. Hey, well, what are you
going to do? You're going to bust us for

getting beat up.

No. For withholding information.

Hey, listen.

I'm not an informer, you understand?

I understand.

Now, who was Mac looking for and what
did you tell him?

He was looking for Jerry Washington's
pusher.

And where did you tell him to go and
look?

To the Shoreham Apartments.

On Bay Street?

A guy named Corrigan.

He's up on the roof with a visor.

He's a sun freak.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Look, uh, Benny, you're not in a slammer
now.

If you want to prefer charges against
Sergeant Mack for assault and battery,

just tell the officer.

No.

No, I don't want any more trouble with
Mack.

Besides, I might have to live with him
again. You know what I mean?

Where'd you get the money for the fix,
Jerry?

Rolled some little old lady?

I didn't want to escape, man. They made
me go.

You were there, Sergeant. You know.
Where are they, Jerry?

I don't know.

Where are they?

Uh, Everett Taggart. Uh, Kraft and
Kimberly were looking for Taggart.

about a plane.

Uh -huh. What about Telson?

He just walked off and left me.

That's not good enough, Jerry.

Look, stay away, man.

Look, I never hurt no... Come

on, speed it up.

What's bothering you?

Eddie Mack.

I don't like him one step ahead of us. I
don't get it. What's he trying to

prove? He's frightened.

Frightened? I think he's flipped.

He's trying to capture them all by
himself, and that makes him dangerous.

That's right.

He's dangerous because his life is on
the line.

His life?

Any time a prisoner escapes, all the
other cons think they can do the same

thing.

Makes the guards very nervous.

Especially a guy like Eddie Mack.

He probably figures that they did it to
him once, they'll do it to him again.

That's what I think he's afraid of most.

Now you know why I don't want him one
step ahead of us.

No, no, don't hit me, Sergeant.

You fool.

I wasn't going to hurt you.

How bad is it, kid? No, no, just leave
me alone, man.

Ain't you done enough?

Come on, Jerry.

You've turned mean, man.

You know, I guess everybody in the joint
does.

I'm trying to help the man.

What, like you helped those two guys
back in the pool room?

They came at me.

Do you have a permit for this?

What, did he come at you too?

No, he fell off the fire escape. He's
pretty badly hurt, Mike. I'm going to

for an ambulance.

Tell me something.

What are you trying to do?

I'm trying to bring him in. I told you
before.

That is our job.

What's the verdict?

I figure it's a concussion. But they
won't know for certain until they get to

the hospital and run the tests.

May I go now?

Yes, you can.

Stay home.

No law against my making a citizen's
arrest, is there?

There is a way you do it.

Look, you can do me a big favor.

These beautiful streets here, stay off
of them.

I'll think about that.

And while you're thinking about it,
think about this.

If I catch you meddling in this case
again, I'm going to bust you for

interfering.

Well, what's troubling you?

Not trying to help us.

You're just getting back at them as a
personal vendetta. I have a job to do,

Inspector, just like you, only mine's a
little different.

You arrest them, testify against them at
court, then send them to me for the

next five to ten years, and I have to
live with them. But you don't have to

brutalize them. I don't brutalize
anyone.

All I do is keep them there.

The ugly things that happen inside are
the things they do to each other, which

are exactly the things they'd be doing
to innocent people if they were out on

the streets.

Now, if you object to the things that
happen to men in prison, stop sending

them.

Yeah,

well, spell that for me. B -E -D -O -U
-K.

B -E -D -O -U -K?

Avedachery. You said it was on Sutter?

Yeah, on Sutter.

All right, we're on our way. Come on,
let's go.

You should have busted him for assault.

Washington told you it was an accident.

Maybe he was scared not to. Never mind
Eddie Mack right now.

Listen, we've got a lead on Taggart and
Kimberly.

Let's think of them.

That's him.

All right, now, these two men stole the
car. Did you see this man?

Mike, Lieutenant Carson, narcotics.

See if you can get a description of the
clothes they were wearing.

Stone! I got that information you wanted
on Kraft.

Let's have it. Kraft and a man named
Evan Taggart were partners in an air

freight business about five years ago.
It was supposed to be a legitimate

operation, and was until Taggart found
out that his buddy was flying heroin

the country. And he reported it? Right.

and Sid set up a trap for him and caught
him with a full cargo.

Tigard wasn't involved in the arrest, so
he spared him the notoriety of the

trial. Do you have an address on Tigard?
Sure do.

2190 Washington.

Okay, thanks.

Oh, who are you?

Where's my wife?

She works downtown. She should be coming
home pretty soon.

Well, I guess you two probably want to
talk alone.

We'll all talk.

I heard you escaped.

Should have hired some security.

That's what I would have done.

Just the currency.

There's a little gift.

Now what?

You call your office and tell them to
prep a twin -engine plane for a flight

Acapulco.

Have it ready for takeoff in an hour.

Why should I? Because you're going to be
a dead man if you don't.

Harry, knowing you, I'll be dead either
way, so why should I cooperate?

Okay, I'll put it to you this way.

If you don't pick up that phone...

You're going to spend the rest of your
life in a basket.

I wouldn't kill you, Evan, when I could
see you suffer the way I have for the

past five years.

Hello, Mabel?

This is Mr. Taggart.

By the way, you may as well stock the
bar. This will be a farewell party.

Hold on.

I'll have to give them some names for
the manifest. What would you suggest?

I'd suggest you drop the guns, boys.

You try to stop me, I'll kill him. Don't
do it, Kimberly.

Hey, I can't take no passage. It's just
a blood run. When I say drive, you

drive. When I say stop, you stop.

Drive.

Operator, this is a police emergency.

A man has been shot. I want an ambulance
sent to 2190 Washington, apartment 205.

You'll be okay.

Do you want me to read you your rights?
Lieutenant, that man saved my life. What

happened to Kraft?

He hijacked a cab. I saw him from the
balcony.

Red and white.

I think it was Seaside Cab Company. Did
you get the number?

Couldn't see it. I'll check it. Put your
hand against this.

They fired first.

Oh, they did?

Well, this man has beaten two men.

Caused another man to be injured, and he
just shot this man.

It's self -defense.

Maybe so.

But he's interfering in police matters,
and for that, he's under arrest.

Well, Lieutenant, I'm not trying to tell
you your business, but... Good.

Seaside Cab Company?

This is Inspector Robbins, San Francisco
Police Department.

I need some information.

I said hello.

You look like you're waiting for a
dentist appointment.

Billy. We have to talk, Nancy.

Hey, come on, Mr. Hunt. Where do you
want to go? Keep driving around until I

tell you to stop.

Well, I better tell the dispatcher
something or they're going to be looking

me. Tell them you're going to lunch.

Just that and nothing else.

This is 68.

I'll be out of service for about an
hour.

A time for lunch.

Is that okay?

That's fine.

Specters 8 -1.

Specters 8 -1, go ahead. Mike, this is
Tanner. We received a message from the

head dispatcher at Seaside Cab Company.

One of their drivers reported stopping
for lunch while on a blood run.

What about the driver?

Confirmed as a highly responsible
employee.

He was carrying plasma for victims of an
accident at Bayshore General Hospital.

His route took him in proximity of where
Kraft could have commandeered him. Put

an APB on that cab.

What's a blood run? There's only four
major blood banks in the city.

They usually dispatch plasma to the
hospital by cab.

That driver wouldn't have stopped for
lunch unless somebody pulled a gun on

Because you were there.

And I needed someone here.

I had less than a year to serve.

Less than a year.

What's the matter? You couldn't wait?

What are you?

Some kind of alley cat?

It's been four years.

I'm human.

I would have ended it before you got
out.

I would have been waiting for you. Why
didn't you write and tell me?

You didn't even open my letters.

Do you know how... How worried I was?

I couldn't.

It hurt me too much.

Hold it. I want to talk to you. Hey, you
better get

in there. That guy's got a gun.

You stay away!

You hear me?

Stay away!

Speed it up. I can't!

glad to see you guys.

What's their 10 -20?

Burns and Townsend.

Tell them to put the cabbie and the
blood in the black and white and then

them over to Bayshore General Hospital.
We're on the way.

You keep him in there.

Are they in there? As far as we know.
Now, we've got units front and back, and

no one's seen a thing.

Nothing upstairs.

Clean finish.

Come on.

Come on.

Book them.

Well, that's three down and one to go.
And they don't go easy, do they? No,

Mike. The stakeout team has Billy
barricaded in his wife's house.

But he's in there with his wife. I
called him on the phone.

He said he'd shoot if we tried to bust
in. Get me a bullhorn.

He won't answer it. I tried it. Well,
how did you reach him? There's a phone

booth on that corner. I used it. Here's
the number.

Give me my coat.

Billy, please don't do anything to make
it worse.

I don't know how it could get much
worse.

Put that gun away and give yourself up.

At least talk to them.

There's nothing to say.

Billy! They're never going to let me out
of that place now. It's going to be

five more years for breaking out.

Who knows what for the guard Harry shot.

I just can't do it knowing that you're
out here.

I might as well get it over with.

Take two men and cover the back of the
house.

He won't answer the phone.

I guess we're going to have to dig him
out.

No, not yet.

I don't want to endanger the hostage.

Sergeant Mac, I want to talk to you.

Sergeant. Let him go.

Mike, every time we talk, somebody gets
hurt.

Sergeant.

You know, Telson, you know the risks.

Can you hear me, Billy?

I want to talk to you, Billy. I don't
want to talk to you.

Get away from here. I owe you one,
Billy.

Kraft would have killed me.

Got to give me a chance to get even. If
you don't stop, I'll kill you.

You never killed anyone in your life,
Billy.

Why would you want to start now?

I'm warning you, Mac.

I'll shoot.

I really will.

You want us to start moving in?

No.

No moving in.

I don't want anyone to fire either.

Hold your position.

Tell the men. Okay.

Why would you want to shoot somebody
that's trying to do you a favor?

You don't need that gun, Billy.

You're not going to take me back.

Mrs. Telson?

You want to go on and step outside?

You don't need a hostage, Billy.

You've got me now.

I'll stay.

Do what he tells you.

He's the man.

And you always do what the man tells
you, because he means what he says.

Right, Sergeant?

That's right, Billy.

Remember what the last thing I said to
you was? He said I'd get another five

years for escaping.

No.

I said I didn't want to die, and neither
do you.

The craft isn't holding a gun on us now.

So why don't you give me yours?

Everything's different.

The guard... He's alive, Billy. The
guard is alive.

I'll tell him the truth.

You hadn't planned to escape.

You saved my life.

I'll take that into consideration,
Billy.

I can't go back.

Sure you can.

You can do the rest of your sentence
standing on your head. Billy.

I'll wait for you.

I promise.

No matter how long it takes, I'll wait
till you get out.

Well, that's the last of them.

All right, cuff him.

Oh, that won't be necessary.

When are you going to stop telling me
