Tonight's episode, Innocent No More.

Wouldn't call it a hit and run, Tommy.

Pretty easy, isn't it?

Come on, let's go.

Okay, you guys, put them on.

Hey, man, you're late. No, not really.

We just started work a little early.

Where's your cousin?

He got sick.

Okay, look, you stick with Billy.

I'll show you what to do.

Okay, now 20 minutes, no more. You guys
understand?

Okay, come on, let's split up. Let's go.

Come on.

Make a wish.

That's enough. Come on.

Easy now. Easy now. I don't want the
place to go on fire.

That's it.

You didn't have to use every candle in
the house. It's not my fault. Your age

overwhelms my take.

Oh, it isn't, huh? No. Happy birthday,
darling.

Good to have you home. Oh, it's good to
be home.

So, what do you want to do?

Open up your presents or eat first?

Do I have a choice?

Nope. The specialty of the house is
waiting, and I don't want it to dry out.

you open the wine, and I'll get it
ready. Hey, what specialty are you

Wait a minute. I don't get so nosy.

Something really terrific. What was
that?

What?

I thought I heard something.

Never mind. Open the wine.

Put on a record.

Russian music.

That's a hint. Oh.

You better set another plate.

All right.

I only made enough for two.

I'm not here.

I'm sorry, Dad.

He got away from me. I had him hidden in
the bedroom.

I guess I should have fed him first,
huh? Well, I guess he took care of that.

He was sniffing your Kiev.

Not mine, but yours.

Where'd he come from?

Mrs. Harper down the street.

She was going away for the weekend and
she needed a sitter.

And you volunteered.

Do you mind?

No, no, no.

Does he have a name?

Little Darling.

Corny, huh?

Yeah, like Mrs. Harper.

Well, for this weekend, you're going to
be called fella.

I'll put him away.

You tell us where the money box is,
lady. Oh, no. Or he's going to burn your

treasure.

Where's the money, lady?

Come on, where's the money?

Where is the money, lady? I don't have
time for this. Think fast, lady.

Upstairs. Come on. Upstairs where, lady?
Come on.

Closet. Closet. Where in the closet,
lady? All right, come on, let's go.

Here.

Wouldn't make much of a bonfire anyway.

Man, we got all her money. We're not
leaving yet. Now, her husband is a

This says so.

He must have given her lots of little
gifts, rings, stuff like that. They've

to be around here someplace.

Lady, now you best tell me where they
are.

Hey, Billy, you crazy. Stop it, man. She
can't tell you nothing.

Listen, somebody must have called the
cops. Let's get out of here.

Fence, hold it. Hey, make it easy.

All right.

Hands on the fence.

Come on, spread them.

Spread them.

Come on, let's go.

Let me go.

Why are you hassling me for?

I wasn't doing nothing.

You won't be needing that now, will you,
kid?

There's his plaything. Stick it in your
ear.

That don't belong to me. He planted it.

I want to see my P .O.

You'll see him, kid.

Paul T. Brown, age 15.

There's his sheet.

An hour ago, they hit three houses on
the south side.

Only this time, somebody died.

Her name's Mrs. Helen King.

Sixty -five. She had a coroner. Was she
beaten?

We don't know.

How many did you have in custody?

Two. Both juvenile.

One of them's no problem. He's got eight
priors. They caught him with a shiv.

We're gonna slap him with parole
violation.

What about the other one? Well, he's
sweet sixteen.

Good -looking, well -mannered, real boy
scout.

Go on.

Well, so far, Mike, the evidence is
pretty skimpy.

Boy's father's here to take him home.

All right, so what's the big problem?

The boy's father's Bob Wilson.

That's right, building contractor, ex
-city supervisor, and so he says a real

close friend of yours.

You know, Mike, when I was his age, I
was laying brick for 40 cents an hour.

Hard work was something to be proud of.

Today?

Today it's a crime.

We've gone wrong somewhere, haven't we?

All of us.

Nowadays, if a kid wants something, all
he has to do is just ask for it.

Oh, look, Mike, Billy didn't steal
anything. He doesn't have to.

Mike, I know my son. I know my son just
as well as you know your daughter. He is

innocent. Did you know that your boy was
out tonight?

Yeah, he went out to see a friend.

Paul Brown?

I don't think that they know each other.

They go to the same school.

Well, now, that's guilt by association.

But I guess that's the way that it is,
huh? I mean, this whole new system...

Bussing kids from one area to another
area.

Mixing the hardened criminals with kids
like Billy.

Oh, I'm not saying that Billy's perfect.

No, he's had his share of schoolyard
scraps.

But basically, Mike, believe me, he is a
very good boy.

Bob, what do you expect me to do?

Talk to the DA.

Have him drop the charges.

In the interest of justice, say.

I think he means it as a personal favor.
Hold it.

What about the other boy?

The one with the knife.

Should I let him go, too?

I don't care.

Mr. Wilson, that lady was murdered.

My son had nothing to do with that.

Look, Mike, please.

The kid, he's only 16. Bob, you don't
seem to understand.

There are no criminal charges.

The juvenile court is just a civil
proceeding. I want all proceedings

How can I do that?

How can I hold on to one suspect and let
the other one go?

Sure, sure, sure. I get the message. I
get the message.

No favors. Do you have a lawyer?

Don't bother.

I'll have Harry Clark handle it.

You know, I thought I had a friend.

I'll say one thing for him. He buys the
best.

Harry Clark will have that kid out
before lunch.

Stinks, doesn't he? What?

The poor go to jail and the rich go
home?

Not just that. The whole juvenile
system. If Billy Clark were 21 and

felony murder, he'd be put away for
life.

But because he's young of age and
supposedly innocent of mind, he'll get

wrist slapped, three months of
probation, and be free to kill again.

laugh. Nobody's laughing.

That's why these games like the Jackals
exist.

Because the law's a joke to them.

Take a look at this.

In just two months, that one lousy gang
has committed 42 acts of robbery,

assault, burglary, felony animal
torture, and now murder.

And all against the old and the
defenseless, and all in the same two

They may not be brave or bold, but
they're sure as hell not afraid of the

I take it you have a suggestion.

No. Just lots of anger.

Well, I do.

Let's go home.

Tomorrow morning I'll check with the D
.A. and find out what our chances are.

for getting criminal indictments against
any of that gang we arrested.

Meanwhile, how do I handle the Wilson
case?

Routinely.

He could be innocent.

Dan, are you talking about Billy Wilson?
Yeah, what do you got? Plenty.

His prints were everywhere inside the
King House.

Billy Wilson's as guilty as sin.

No, sir.

I didn't know why they were chasing me.
I was really scared.

I mean, I told the officer I was on my
way to see a friend of mine, Roger

Santini, but he wouldn't listen.

All right, let's get back to the
fingerprints.

Well, like I told Mr.

Clark, I sell newspaper subscriptions
door to door.

Extra money.

So I was in the house a couple, three
days ago.

She was a real nice lady.

Did she buy any?

Like? No, she didn't.

Most of the time she was just showing me
things. She had a lot of antiques.

She sure did, all over the house.

All right, son.

Thanks.

Now let's see the judge's name and write
the probation report.

Don't worry, everything's going to be
fine.

Fine.

Nice kid.

Intelligent, soft -spoken, sincere.

I think you're making a mistake.

Oh, come on. Do you really believe all
that stuff about him selling

subscriptions and all that? I'm paid to.

That's what I like about you.

Mike, why press?

The lady died of a heart attack.

The DA couldn't get manslaughter on her.

Now, why don't you go and tell that to
her husband?

That's where I'm going now.

Would you like to join me?

Okay, we'll have a man take you downtown
and take a statement from you.

Thank you.

Mike, we got a break.

An eyewitness.

The guy was driving past last night when
he almost hit one of the kids running

out of the house.

Was it the Wilson kid? No, and it wasn't
Brown either. A kid named Tommy Ditto.

He ID'd him from these mug shots.

Did you pick the boy up? I'm still
looking for him. I put a stakeout in the

house. Anything else? Well, the lab guys
inside found a strand of hair. Could be

Wilson's. You think he's guilty?

Mike? I did some more checking with R
&I, and like I said, the kid's never

convicted, but he's been arrested five
times, suspicion of assault, battery,

grand theft, and went for extortion.

The last one got him suspended from
school for a month.

The kid's got a history of violence, and
the old man's covering up for him.

The body was right over there, tied with
a nylon guitar string. Could be a lead.

It's the husband.

Mr. King, Mr.

King, this is Lieutenant Stone, head of
homicide.

We'll be out of here soon.

You know, I was out for the evening.

Is there anything I can do?

Do you know who they were?

We have several boys in custody.

I understand. It's hard to prove a case.

Whatever the law says.

It's God's will.

They're only children.

One can't blame them.

They're only children.

You've got a forgiving nature. I don't
know if I would.

Max, let me know how you make out with
that strand of hair on the guitar string

as soon as you can, will you?

Listen, wait a minute.

Why don't you stay here with them?

If they pick up that Dito kid, let me
know immediately.

Mike!

Have you got a minute?

I know what you want, Carl. You want a
statement. Well, I don't have one for

you. Well, somebody better start
speaking out.

You know, we're doing another TV
editorial on these teenage gang attacks,

people are pretty uptight. Now, do you
have any comment at all on those two

were arrested last night? No, they're
being processed normally.

Processed or handled, Mike? What are you
getting at?

Well, I got a call this morning from
Judge Brewster, who just happens to be

presiding over the juvenile docket this
month.

Yes, I know who he is. Yes, well, do you
also know that he's a close golfing

buddy of Bob Wilson's?

Anyway, he's threatened to place a gag
order on the case if our broadcast as

much as mentions the name of a suspect.
Now, that seems to me as if the

defendants have a lot of friends in
court.

It's about time the victims had some
friends in court, too, don't you think?

Yeah, but what if they pick me up?

So what?

They can't do nothing.

Henry, that lady died. So tell the judge
you're sorry.

Come on, man. There's nothing to worry
about, okay? So cool it. No, Billy's in

jail, man. They're going to be asking
him a lot of questions. Look, man, Billy

can take care of himself.

Paulie, too.

You think I wouldn't do something if
they tried to give him a hard time, man?

That's my brother we're talking about. I
know.

You just worry about... You share the
cut, all right?

And they worry about the cops.

And then they can't touch it.

Mr. Billings' office.

Oh, yes, Judge. My time with you, that's
why the DA wanted me to handle the

case. But I'm not going to charge these
kids with felonies unless the case is

strong enough.

Your office is getting some pressure,
huh? Well, you better believe it. Jerry.

Good morning, Carol. Oh, it's a new
hairdo. It's a new wig.

You really are old -fashioned.

This is Judge Brewster, second time
around.

Tell him I'll call him back. Anything
else? Yes, you have an appointment with

Carlton at four, and Harry Clark wants
to set up a luncheon with you.

I'll bet he does. Now, Jerry, can I see
you?

Well, the public defender's office has
got a complaint, right?

Okay, Jake, I'll be with you in a
minute. Carol, see if you can get me the

of that principal at Carlson High
School. Come on in, Michael.

Judge Brewster, can he call you back in
just a moment?

You talk about pressure. Eight o 'clock
this morning, I'm still shaking. Guess

who calls?

Brewster? Right.

Morning, Jerry.

How's the golf game?

I said, fine, fine. So we talked about
sports for about five minutes before he

finally got down to the point.

He says, listen, Jerry, I understand you
people are thinking about petitioning a

few juvenile cases back to county for
felony trial.

I said, well, Jerry, I just want to make
sure you understand it's discretionary

with the court.

I could just hear the wheels turning.

Yeah, and that's not all. Guess who he's
assigned to the cases?

Judge Mildred Burns will be the hearing
officer, the most lenient judge he could

find. Somebody's scared, Mike. You're
right, somebody is scared.

Mildred Burns, she's fair, though. I've
known her for a long time.

Why don't you take a look at this?

There's some things in there you should
know about Billy Wilson.

Come in.

The principal's name is Joseph Hess, and
our dedicated public defender is still

waiting. Here, Mike. Yeah, I know. What
does Jake want?

He wants equal time for his client, Paul
Brown.

If Wilson is released, then he wants his
boy to go free, too.

That's what I wanted to talk to you
about. Everybody goes free.

Nobody's responsible, right?

I might take it easy. I'll take it easy.

You just make sure that the probation
officer gets copies of those.

Where are you going?

I'm trying to find out who Billy Wilson
really is. And if he's guilty of murder,

he's going to stand trial just like
everybody else.

This is Lieutenant Stone, Donald.

Just let him see it.

There's nothing to be frightened of.

Billy Wilson did that?

No one saw him do it, so it couldn't be
proved.

He stole money to give the Wilson boy
for three weeks before it came out.

Donald, would you be willing to tell the
judge how you got those scars?

Good. All right, Donald, you can get
back to the game.

Thank you.

I told Mrs. Wilson the whole story, but
of course she wouldn't believe me.

What about Mr. Wilson?

Oh, I don't know what he believes. I
tried to talk to him several times, but

always denies the reality.

Anyway, I expect Billy hasn't conned.
He's bright enough.

What do you think makes the boy tick, do
you know?

Oh, some kids turn bad because of
neglect, others because they're too

I don't know. I'm not a psychologist,
but I can tell you Billy Wilson's

disturbed and violent.

I saw him attack more than one boy out
here. When I call him on it, he blames

somebody else, denies any
responsibility.

Truth is, I guess he just doesn't care.
Inspector 8 -1, do you read?

Mr. Hess, will you be willing to
testify?

I mean about the boy's character.

Yes, of course.

I'll have the DA get in touch with you.

Inspector 8 -1. Inspector 8 -1, go
ahead.

Mike, we've located the Dito boy, 31st
and Charles. Better get over here.

going on?

He's on the rooftop.

Threatening to jump.

We just pulled him off the roof. He's
pretty scared.

Did you read him his rights?

Yeah, first thing. He's ready to talk.

He's already blaming everything on Billy
Wilson.

How old is he?

16.

Book them.

On what charge? First -degree murder.

I want that whole gang of hoodlums
charged as adults.

They're not children anymore, not when
they maim and torture people, no siree.

I want them all put away for as long as
the law will allow.

I understand the court's reluctance to
have any child taken from the juvenile

system. It's a good one.

And for most young boys, it would help
them rehabilitate themselves.

But not in this instance, Your Honor.

You have the history of his arrest,
testimony of a school principal, and an

injured child as to his true character.

All attesting that Billy Wilson would
not be amenable to anyone's guidance.

Most of that is hearsay. There is no
direct evidence that he ever... We have

plenty of direct evidence if that's what
you want, Counsel.

Enough to show a presumption of guilt.

We have the testimony of the arresting
officers, his fingerprints, strand of

hair at the site, and even a confession
from one of his gang members. That

confession was not only coerced, it's
been repudiated. All right, we're not in

criminal trial, Mr. Clark.

We're only here to see if the boy can be
helped.

Lieutenant Stone, you don't make many
appearances in this court. Have you some

special interest in this case?

Yes, I do, Your Honor.

Not in this case alone, but in all cases
dealing with gang violence by

juveniles.

Your Honor, I don't think the issue here
is rehabilitation.

I don't know whether Billy Wilson can be
helped or not.

But I do know that if we don't make the
punishments match the crimes, if we

don't show these vicious juveniles that
they can't get away with murder, then

there's no system of law that can govern
this city.

None except the law of the jungle. Your
Honor, may I say something?

No, Harry, you may not. I think we've
heard your best arguments.

And, uh, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, I think
you've been less than candid about the

past conduct of your son.

The scars on that boy's back and the
honesty of his words convince me that he

hasn't lied about your son.

I'm well aware that these street gangs
have become more violent than ever.

And I agree with you, Lieutenant.

that these brutal, lawless attacks on
the most vulnerable in our society must

stop. Now, I don't know whether you're a
member of such a gang.

I can only assume by the accusations
before me that you are.

In any case, the evidence has convinced
me that you're not a fit and proper

subject for juvenile jurisdiction.

I therefore hold that you be remanded to
the adult division for criminal

proceedings.

Okay, Jerry, off the record, maybe I
agree with you. These gangs are not a

sociological problem. They're criminal.

But why'd you have to pick the Wilson
kid to kick it off?

He came up first, Harry. Simple as that.

Nothing's that simple, believe me. Now,
look, the decision is final. We're going

for criminal indictments on all members
of that gang.

Here's your neck.

I hear your station's gonna make some
kind of an editorial statement about all

of this. Uh -huh.

On the 3 o 'clock news.

We're asking for mandatory criminal
proceedings against all 16 -year -olds.

That is, in cases of repeated felonies
involving bodily harm. Now, do you have

any comment about that, Mike? No, I'm
not a lawyer.

Okay. Let me ask you another.

I've heard a rumor that two more members
of that gang were picked up. Is that

true? Yes, it's true.

But we don't want it broadcast because
we're still looking for the others.

No broadcast, okay?

Okay. Hello?

Who is this?

You don't know me, lady.

But I know you.

I know where you live.

And I also know when you're gonna die.

Which is gonna be real soon unless my
brothers let go.

I don't understand.

Look, lady, I am talking about the
jackals.

You just make sure the lieutenant gets
my message.

I got the message all right.

And now you're going to get one from me.

Nobody goes free.

Mike, I know how you feel. So does
Billy.

Yes, sir, I really do.

That's why I wanted you to talk to him.

He had nothing to do with that phone
call.

And he's willing to turn state's
evidence.

Oh, he is, eh? You recommend total
immunity, and Billy will give you the

and addresses of everyone.

The whole pack.

No deal.

And if he's convicted, I'm going to
recommend hard time.

And you'd better believe it.

Half of this nation's crimes are being
committed by juveniles.

And more by children under 15 than by
adults over 25.

Now we're speaking of the repeated
offenders, the hardcore delinquent who

history of violence... Grand jury over?

Yeah, they voted true bills on three of
them, and I think we're going to get

John Doe indictments on the rest.

...should be discretionary with the
courts any longer.

Georgia now rules that children of 13
can be tried for serious crimes.

New Mexico has lowered the age to 15,
but in California, it's still 16.

California maintains its position that
16 -year -olds are not to be tried by

same laws existing for adults.

Makes sense to me.

Mike, got a second? I need your okay for
a search warrant.

What for?

On a question Mrs. Wilson, she said
Billy had never owned a guitar.

Boy, she lied.

She bought one about six months ago.
Here's a bill to sale.

I also found out he took lessons at
home. I'd like to look around.

All right, it's worth a try.

Hey, Mike, lying too.

Line two.

Okay.

Homicide, Stone.

Guess you didn't get my message, Stone.

Maybe this time you'll listen.

She's five -two.

Short blonde hair, fair complexion.

Her name's Jean Stone.

But I'll hold.

I had that

frame 20 years ago.

Mike. I... I should have sent her off to
school.

Gotten her out of town.

I never thought that. You couldn't know?
I knew.

Oh, I knew. I knew.

He said he knew where she lived and when
she would die.

Thank you.

Mike, I checked all the hospitals, all
the local precincts. There's no word.

You know, she could have just gone to
visit a friend.

Sometimes I wonder why anybody wants to
go into public service.

sick about you.

Oh, gee.

Thank God.

Thank God.

Oh, I'm all right.

I'm sorry. I worried you so.

No, you didn't worry me.

Everything's all right. It doesn't
matter now. Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine.

I just went to exchange the skirt,
remember?

Yes, I remember.

Oh, my God.

No wonder you were so frightened.

Must have broken in just after I left.

Oh, look at this.

It doesn't matter now as long as you're
okay.

It doesn't matter at all, believe me.
Oh, I'm fine.

Hey, I think I could use a drink.

And you look like you need one.

There's some wine in the refrigerator.

Yes.

You're all right. I'm okay. I'm okay.

I'll call downtown and let them know
everything's okay. Yeah, you do that.

I think we'd better lay on a security
team just in case. That's right.

Until she gets back to Arizona.

Don't look for the dog.

Next time, don't look for your daughter.

I'd almost forgotten how wet it gets out
here early in the morning.

Feels good, huh?

Yeah, sure does.

Well, ready?

Huh? Yeah.

Let's jog out to the rocks.

Okay.

Remember when you caught your last ocean
perch?

Five years?

Nope. It was longer than that.

You know, I think we ought to try it
again this summer.

Your mother and I used to come out here
regularly.

She knew just where to drop the line.

Right out there.

God, we used to come out here all the
time.

Even when I was on the force.

Your mother was a sportsman of the
family, I'll tell you that.

She just loved surf fishing.

I don't know how she did it, but every
time we came out, she caught something.

You wish she were here right now, don't
you?

Well, when she was alive, we had more of
a family feeling then for the three of

us.

It simply hasn't been the same, has it?

It has for me.

You know, Jeannie, I've been thinking.

When you get out of school this year,
maybe I ought to turn my badge in.

Retire?

Why?

Well, we could spend more time together.

Oh, I see. You want to take care of me
the rest of my life, huh? Oh, of course

not. Well, then you're ready to
vegetate?

No. No, I'm not ready to vegetate.

Maybe I just don't want to be in the
line of fire anymore.

Okay, well, I guess that's up to you.

But don't you dare quit on my account.

Look.

I just think that maybe we ought to be
spending more time together, and I can't

do that working 24 hours a day.

Mike Stone, there is no way you're going
to push this off on me.

Look, I love you, but I can't live with
you acting like a father.

Oh, come on, Jeannie.

And don't Jeannie me.

Look, if I'd wanted a provider and
protector, I could have grabbed one a

time ago.

So thank you very much.

But if you ever retire...

You do it when you have a lot better
reason than taking care of your little

girl. Oh, come on now, you're not the
only reason. I'm 56 years old, you know

that?

56 years old.

And maybe I'm tired of being a target
for all those dumb teenage psychos.

Okay, all right.

But that's your decision.

You do what you think is right.

Only you're responsible, not me.

All I can do is worry about you.

After all, when you're destitute, the
law says children have to support their

parents.

That'll be the day when you have to
support me, let me tell you.

People versus Brim.

Is the defendant ready to make his plea?

Yes, Your Honor.

Charge is assault with a deadly weapon
and resisting an officer.

How do you plead?

Not guilty, Your Honor. Bail is set at 2
,500.

Defendant will be held over to
Department 31, February 6th. What are

here? Message from the boss. When bail
comes up on Wilson, don't argue.

What? Next case is people versus Wilson.

What are you talking about? It's all
arranged.

Don't argue.

is murder in the first degree.

How do you plead?

Not clear, Your Honor. Request trial by
jury.

Defendant will be held over to
Department 40 on March 10th. The defense

its motion for bail.

Has the district attorney been notified?

Yes, Your Honor. We have no objections.

Motion approved.

Once bond is secured, defendant will be
released.

Jerry, what the hell is going on? I
don't know, Carl. I do.

You made a deal.

Now, what about Paul Brown, huh? He
stays.

Oh, that's real sweet.

I can see it pays to have rich friends.

You planning to run for office soon?

Wait a minute, Jerry. What is he talking
about?

Oh, wait a minute. Get off my back,
Carl.

All I can tell you, Carl, is that I
didn't knuckle under to anybody.

Well, what do you mean you didn't
knuckle under? That's exactly what it

look like. All right, have it your way.

Jerry, I don't want it my way. Don't you
understand that?

All I want is the truth.

Now, why did you let that kid go out on
the streets? I'm sorry, no comment.

Okay, I won't broadcast that. Not yet.

Because I've always believed that you
were straight, Jerry.

But if I find out that you've been
playing politics, I will nail you for

promise you that.

Okay. Will somebody tell me what's going
on? I mean, right now, everybody thinks

I can be reached, that I have been. I
want them all, Jerry. Every last one of

them. And Billy Wilson's gonna lead us
to them. The D .A. bought our plan.

What plan?

Billy's gonna be tailed from the minute
he gets out.

If I were him, I wouldn't go anywhere
near those others.

You would if you were scared not to.

What is it those guys hate the most?

They've got a thousand names for it.

Rat, Fink, Stooley.

But Billy didn't talk. The Dito kid did.
The guys outside don't know that.

And Billy doesn't know it either. All he
knows is the word's out, he's the fink.

How did you manage that?

Well, I have a friend who's a jailer,
and he happened to get next to Billy

Wilson, and he just happened to drop it.
That's dirty poo, Mike.

I love it.

So do I.

Billy also knows that he's the only one
to be released.

If I were him, I'd figure I owed
somebody an explanation.

Okay.

I'll be back. But he just called. He's
on his way. Mom, will you get off my

back? This is important.

Thank you.

Mike Stone, reservation for two.

Very nice.

I thought you'd like it.

You knew I'd like it.

Something's wrong, right?

Oh, I just thought we ought to have
lunch together more often.

If you're hungry, try the trot. What's
the surprise?

Surprise?

Dad, you haven't picked me up for lunch
in the middle of the week since I can't

remember when. Consider it your birthday
present. Thank you.

You have a suspicious nature, you know
that?

And well -deserved.

Okay. I do have a surprise.

I've decided not to retire.

Well, that's hardly a surprise.

Oh, it isn't? The only surprise is that
it took you so long to decide.

Well... Now that the shock of this
announcement is over, what do you say we

order lunch?

Eat it slowly and enjoy it.

Take a look at those prices.

Well, I'll enjoy my lunch, but I don't
think you will.

I don't know. Came out of nowhere.

The special unit was about to move in
with bang.

Can you see anything?

No.

The cops all over the place.

You brought them, didn't you?

No.

That's why they let you go, isn't it?

No, listen, I swear I didn't. Huh?

You sold me out, man. I swear I didn't.

You people inside, come out with your
hands up.

Come out with your hands up. Nobody has
to get hurt.

You see where the last shot came from?

Hands off me. I didn't do anything. You
can't hold me, Stone.

Look.

Okay, let's all turn left.

The other way, number three.

Turn left.

Take your hands out of your pockets.

Turn left.

Let's face forward. That's the one,
third one on the right.

Number four, he's the leader.

You're absolutely sure?

Yes, I wouldn't forget him. He broke my
arm.

Henry Brown, Paul Brown's brother.

Had a big influence on him, didn't he?

Mm -hmm.

Tanner, take care of them, will you?

Take your jacket off, number two.

Is that all of them?

Well, that's all we know of for certain.

What about the sniper up on the roof?

Well, he got away.

We don't know what he was shooting at or
who.

Mike, the search warrant just paid off.

We found this at the Wilson house buried
in the trash, and it's only missing one

string, the low E.

The same kind used on Mrs. King.

Does Billings know about this? No, I had
to clear it with the lab boys.

Listen, I think he's with Wilson at the
prelim. Come on.

Well, uh, besides running, what did he
do to call your attention to him?

He tried to escape.

Wasn't it a fact that everybody was
running?

How could you tell one boy from another,
the innocent from the guilty?

Did he have a weapon on him?

No, sir.

A mask?

No. Money, jewels, anything that might
lead you to believe he had committed a

crime of any sort?

No, sir.

In other words, Officer Haig, all you
ever did was arrest a frightened,

boy.

No further questions.

Mr. Billings?

No redirect, Your Honor.

Sergeant, your excuse.

Mr. Billings, any more testimony for the
prosecution?

Yes, Your Honor. With the court's
permission, I would like to recall Mrs.

Wilson to the stand.

Mrs. Wilson, may I remind you you're
still under oath?

Mrs. Wilson, have you ever seen this
guitar before?

I don't think so.

Look closely.

One of its strings is missing, isn't it?

Yes. You do know that Mrs. King, the
murdered victim, was bound by a guitar

string, don't you?

Objection. No foundation.

Sustained.

Mrs. Wilson, you made a prior statement
to the investigating officers that your

son had never owned a guitar.

Is that correct?

This is a bill paid for by you for the
sale of a guitar and

private music lessons in your home for
your son.

Is that your signature?

Yes.

Then your son did have a guitar around
the house, didn't he? And this is it,

isn't it?

Yeah.

It's not mine. I've never seen it
before. I've not got that.

Where did he keep it, Mrs. Wilson?

In his room?

Yes.

Was it there the night he was arrested?

Yes.

And how did it get buried in the trash?

Not by Billy. He couldn't.

You put it there, didn't you, Mrs.
Wilson?

After you read the newspaper.

I didn't know what it...

I thought it might prove something.

Harry, I'll suggest that the boy plead
no law if you won't bring charges

the mother.

Okay, Harry.

I'll arrange to have his plea taken
first thing tomorrow morning.

Get away from him. Get away. I'm going
to kill him.

Don't shoot, Mr. King.

Get away.

It's all over.

I promise you, it's all over.

Oh, he's going to be punished. I promise
you that.

Believe me, he will.

But not that way. Not with that.

Not with the same violence which he
committed on your wife.

She wouldn't want that.

He ought to die.

Then let it be God's will.

You said that, remember?

Please, Mr. King, put it down.

I guess we know who our sniper is.

There's vengeance in all of us.

Somebody over there said if we didn't do
our job, they'd do it for us.

With this.

That's something I don't want to happen.

Ever.

You've shown no regard for either life
or property.

This court is convinced that you would
be a menace on the street. I therefore

sentence you to state prison to serve
out a term of eight years to life.

Bailiff, take charge of the prisoner.

Hey, Jerry, wait a minute.

Mike asked me to give you this file.

I thought you might want to go over to
robbery to question a witness.

Come on now, Dan. This isn't a one
-horse show.

Is there anybody else? Nope.

Well, you do have a way with words.

Where is Mike anyway? I thought he'd be
here. You're not going to believe it.

What? Buying a dog.

You think Mrs. Harper will like him? Of
course she will. He's beautiful.

Yes, he is. And he's cute, too, huh?

You're kind of cute, too. You know that?

Oh, you sweet little baby.
