Boy, oh, boy! I've never seen anything like this place.

He wants more action more cards.

Whatever it takes.

You do that, it's dangerous.

Thelma: If we don't do it, it's even more dangerous.

[baby crying]

Better get an ambulance, fast!

He's just got an allergy.

His father had it, it's nothing.

- Where is his father? - He's dead.

Now, you listen to me, you kook!

You sound nice, Pete, um...

what do you look like?

[music continues]

Okay, boys, here it is.

I got 2000 of these babies.

Okay, let's get movin'.

[exhales]

Thank you.

Checking the time ain't gonna make it

go any faster, McCloud.

Might as well just get used to harbor duty.

Getting used to somethin' doesn't mean

that I have to like it.

And with water, I... It comes in a glass.

Well, when you see a garbage scow

floating along the desert...

then you'll know just what to do.

There you go.

[chuckles]

[instrumental music]

[panting]

Hey, Harris, ain't that pier supposed to be condemned?

Oh, sure. All of 'em along here are gonna be torn down.

Yeah, well, somebody didn't get the message.

Turn right, we're heading for that pier.

[instrumental music]

Hey, look who's coming our way.

Hey, you think we can bluff 'em?

I think we better get the hell out of here.

Hold on! Police!

[gunshots]

[gunshots]

Is he dead?

Call the headquarters!

License number is 8-7-4-B-L-A!

We might be able to stop them before they get too far.

Well, there's not a chance we're getting them now.

Those punks will ditch that truck and will be long gone

before dispatching even get it on the air.

Well, let's see what's in those boxes

that was worth dying for.

[instrumental music]

[indistinct radio chatter]

Hey, McCloud?

Excuse me?

Yeah?

We got the report on that truck.

They found over in Tenth Avenue.

- Was it stolen? - No. It was rented.

And they checked the serial numbers

on those TV sets that were in the truck.

- Were they stolen? - No.

They were all bought illegally. I'll tell you something else.

Each of those TV sets was bought in a different store

and they were paid for with out-of-town credit card.

Hey, want to know something else about the credit card?

- They were stolen? - No!

Not a one of 'em has been reported missing.

Huh?

Well, you know, if the truck wasn't stolen,

the TV sets weren't stolen,

the credit cards weren't stolen,

what's all this shootin' about?

Yeah, that's a good question.

Headquarters are gonna have a tough time

with this one.

Yeah.

You know, Harris, maybe I oughta hitch a ride downtown

and start calling card holders.

Maybe get to the bottom of this.

No, chief's already put somebody on it.

Besides, you're on harbor patrol.

That's what I'm sayin', Harris

We can sure make the harbor patrol look good

if I could just get to the bottom of this.

Come on. Let's go.

[instrumental music]

Clifford: In honoring the commissioner today,

I want to tell all of you present

that his aim of putting the right man

in the right job at the right place

is being fully implemented.

That's why as Chief of detectives

I am proud to say...

[sighs] Uh...

That's as far as I've gotten.

And I've only got a

couple of more days to get it into shape.

Oh, you'll get it in shape, chief.

Hmmm, I don't know.

Can't seem to get the hang

of what I wanna say.

Oh, it'll be fine, it'll be fine.

Better take it from the top again.

[clears throat]

Ladies and gentlemen, honored guests

Mr. Mayor...

[typewriter keys clacking]

[gasps] McCloud!

Don't go in there. The chief's busy.

[keys clacking]

McCloud, where have you been?

I haven't seen you for a week!

Harbor patrol.

That's a nice assignment--

That's not an assignment. It's a sentence.

- Anything I can do? - Yeah.

- You can ring me through to-- - No!

[laughs]

You know, you changed directions faster

than a hen seein' a coyote.

And so I say...

nothing will stop the proud growth

of our department!

Hey, that was good, chief.

Great ending.

That wasn't the ending.

Well, it's not disturbing somebody

to find out where they want you to report

to work in the morning, is it?

McCloud!

I've learned one thing

for sure since I've been here.

Anything between you and the chief

pass the buck.

See Sergeant Mulligan.

No way!

[keys clacking]

I tell you, Joe.

I'd trade a week's

hand-to-hand combat with a street gang

to get out of giving this speech.

Why do they insist on policemen

giving speeches when we should be doing police work?

I guess, it's to reassure the public

that we are doing our police work.

But how can we when we're giving speeches?

Your department heads are all

functioning well, sir.

Oh, and speaking of that, I'm supposed to be

filling in for Sergeant Burton in Juvenile.

I think I better head over there.

Oh, do you have to?

- Police business. - Oh.

Well, uh

see if there's anybody out there you can spare.

Clifford: Send him in.

Take me advice, McCloud. Don't go in there.

Ladies and gentlemen, I...

Hmm? Broadhurst sent you?

- Well, uh... - Oh, alright.

As long as you're here, come in and sit down.

Well, chief, I actually came in to see if--

I know why you came in.

Now, I told you to sit down.

Ladies and gentlemen, we're gathered here to...

Oh, uh, by the way, McCloud

if there's anything you hear in my speech

that you don't like, well I...

You're making a speech?

Yeah, for the...

Friends of the City Conference

in honor of the commissioner on Saturday.

Oh.

And I want you to feel free to speak your mind.

The whole idea of this is to be...

representative of the 35,000 men

in this police department.

So, uh, feel free to speak your mind,

be completely objective!

Got you, chief.

Ladies and gentlemen,

as Chief of detectives

of the city of New York...

What's the matter, McCloud?

You sure you want to repeat

chief of detectives?

What do you mean repeat it? That's the first time I said it.

Well, you just started the speech, didn't you?

Somebody's going to introduce you.

The one to introduce you, she's gonna say

Peter B. Clifford, Chief of Detectives.

It just sounds a little bit, uh...

Self-serving?

Hmm, redundant.

Oh, maybe you're right.

How's this?

As one man proud

to serve under the commissioner

[laughing]

I can safely say...

- What's so funny? - Oh.

Well, it just sounds like that you're the only one

supporting the commissioner.

Now, even if that's true

I don't think this is the time to mention it.

It's his testimonial.

Alright.

How about this?

As a proud member of this police department...

- Okay, McCloud? - Hmm.

I mean up to and including the first line

of my 20 minute speech, do you approve?

Oh, yeah, that's fine, chief.

Other than the fact that everybody knows

that you're a member of the police department,

why that's going along real good.

What you got next?

Never mind what comes next, you can't be objective,

you don't get to hear it.

By the way, what are you hanging around here

for, anyway? Aren't you on night duty?

Well, I was up to a few hours ago, yeah.

Hmm, take the afternoon off.

- I need to rest. - Oh, good.

Maybe, I can borrow Joe's car

and run some errands.

What are you waiting for?

I'm waiting for my next assignment, chief.

Like to know where I report in the morning.

Hmm, well, let's see what turns up.

Anything special?

No, I'm just not sure who deserves you, McCloud.

Ladies and gentlemen...

It's a great honor for me to be here today.

[instrumental music]

Hop in.

[music continues]

McCloud: Mite cold outside

to be dressed that skimpy, ain't it?

Where you heading?

The village.

That's an awful pretty little baby you got there.

What's your name?

[baby crying]

Eve.

What are you gonna do?

I'll do anything I have to to feed this baby.

Well, you know, there's a settlement house.

It can't be more than three or four blocks from here.

You and your baby could get some help.

I'll get off at the next corner.

[baby crying]

Listen, if you really wanna help...

uh, I could use a couple of dollars.

Well, if you really need some help

you could go to that settlement house

and get some food and lodging.

That baby alright?

He looks kind of feverish to me.

This baby needs a doctor to look at him.

Thanks...

for the advice.

Hey, hey, hey, hey! Watch that, watch that!

Alright. Police!

Hey!

She got my pants!

Oh, you shouldn't had 'em off to begin with.

Do you know how old she is?

I don't care how old she is! She's a thief!

And that fella with her, he helped her.

They were both in cahoots.

As far as I'm concerned, you are too!

Now, look, now, let's just calm down

you're talking to the police!

- Hmm? - Now, just calm down.

[breathing heavily]

Well...

well if you're the police...

then why don't you go after her?

Well, she was the one who was screaming.

Well, she stole my credit cards.

That's why I was runnin' after her.

- And how that happened? - Oh.

I'm a just a salesman

just in town for a couple of days

thought to have a little harmless fun.

Heard that Thelma's was a place a guy could...

get... well have a few laughs.

Well, you see, Grover, there could be some tie

between these-- these TV sets that we found

and these little girls that are taking the men

for their credit cards.

Now, the men, they don't want the folks back home

to know that they were messin' around, right?

So, they just don't say nothin' about it.

Yeah. Well, thanks, McCloud.

We'll check it out.

- Appreciate it. - Where are you going?

Well, uh...

my day off is just about over. I gotta see Broadhurst.

Got a couple of things to attend to.

Uh, dispatch, you got a number on City Health service.

Uh, yes, thank you. Thank you.

Dr. Hansen, please.

Doc? This is Marshal Sam McCloud.

The fella from Taos.

We worked together on the...

Yeah, that's right! Right.

Yeah, well, I'm doing real fine.

Except for one thing, I'm still here.

Yeah, well, I guess, they figure there's a lot to learn.

Anyway, look, the reason I called is, um...

I come across this sick baby

and I mean, doc, the little critter

was burning up with fever.

It's got to be real serious.

Yeah, well, that's-- that's the problem.

The mum is kind of young

and living off the streets.

Oh, well, I don't expect there is a father

at least why he's in these parts.

Oh, what do I do if I can't talk her

into bringing him in?

Can't we just pick him up

and take him to the hospital?

Yeah, yeah. I've-- I've learned a lot

about paperwork since I've been here, doc.

But to tell you the truth I'm not sure this little baby

will be around long enough to go by the book!

Look, in my opinion

if he don't get some attention

he isn't going to make it.

Look, I'll tell you what, if I can find him

will you send someone out

to at least talk to the mother?

Well, maybe she'll listen to one of your people.

Thanks a lot, doc. I appreciate it, really.

Thank you.

Let me talk to the chief.

I told you I didn't want to be disturbed.

Oh, what does he want?

Alright, put him on.

Clifford on phone: Alright, Grover, what's so important?

McCloud was here, chief and...

What happened?

I think it's important we talk.

Hmm, alright. Come to my office.

Hey, Joe? Joe!

I wanna talk to you.

My car! You smacked up my car.

Oh, I didn't smack up your car.

I wouldn't do that.

I just picked up this little girl, hitchhiker

and I figure she's gotta be a runaway.

And since you're fillin' in

for Sergeant Burton on Juvenile

I thought you might be able to help me out.

How?

By going through all the runaway flyers?

I'll do it myself, Joe

but, uh, I gotta try to find this girl.

- I know. What's her name? - Eve.

- Eve what? - I don't know.

McCloud, do you realize how many

runaway flyers we have? Thousands!

Well, look, I know it's not going to be easy

it's going to be tough, but I also know

that you can do it. I'll check back later. Okay?

- Where are you going? - Thelma's.

Nightclub. The Village.

McCloud!

Let me talk to Chief Clifford.

What is it now?

It's Sergeant Broadhurst.

He says, it's urgent, chief.

Well, tell him I'll get back to him.

- Hey, Joe? - Yeah, just a second.

I wonder what's the possibility of getting out

coast to coast bulletin on that girl?

With just her first name and a description

it's a thousand to one shot against a reply.

Good. Here's a description of her.

Now I'd concentrate those bulletins

in Minnesota and Wisconsin and maybe, Iowa.

Did she tell you she's from the mid-west?

Oh, she didn't have to, I spotted her

funny little accent.

McCloud!

Oh, I'm sorry, I found you.

What's the matter?

Chief wants to see you.

Clifford: McCloud...

in less than two hours of your afternoon off

you have stumbled and bumbled

and almost busted stakeout

these men have been working on for weeks!

We've had Thelma's and other joints like it

under surveillance.

We even tracked the merchandise

to a central warehouse.

There must be hundreds

or thousands of dollars worth of goods

there waiting to be sold.

Oh, for weeks? Uh, why'd you let it be?

We haven't let it be.

But there's more to police work in New York, McCloud

than hoppin' on a mule

and riding in with both barrels blazing.

Well, fellas, I was just following the scent.

I'm sorry if I crossed trails with ya.

In all fairness, chief...

I have to say McCloud did come up

with a good tie-in in between the cards

and the merchandise they went on board to order.

And I agree with McCloud that...

You agree with McCloud?

Well, uh, yes, sir.

Good.

Then he's assigned to you in Bunco.

and I brought you two cards.

Well, that's for showing up to work

all strung out.

Besides, honey, I'm going to give you something

much more valuable than money.

Oh, yeah? What?

Vitamins.

- Vitamins, are you-- - Talk nice.

You know about vitamins?

They are the A-B-C-D-E of health.

Thelma, please.

Besides, they steady the nerves.

Uh, my nerves are steady.

Yeah? You better take another look, honey.

The trouble in that room today

wasn't the mark, it was you.

Oh, but there won't be no more problems,

I promise.

That's right, baby. No more trouble.

Come on, you go and get yourself straightened out.

And take your vitamins.

But Thelma, please, I...

She's up to a 200 dollar a day habit.

Well, it's time we dumped her.

She's beginning to look used.

Yeah, I'm gonna make it worth

your while too, partner.

I'm gonna give you an opportunity

to feel like a real nice citizen.

[scoffs] What're you talking about?

You know the folks back home

they're gonna get a real kick out of hearin'

that you helped this little teenager here...

out of this den of iniquity

and back on to the straightened arrow.

Helped this little teenager

back to the good life.

Now, wait a minute.

I didn't know she was underage.

I mean, uh, excuse me.

- Oh, you bet. - You know, my, uh...

Excuse me.

I've been looking for you.

Bingo.

Now, what happens?

Well, that depends on where the baby is?

What's he got to do with anything?

Well, you know, Eve,

I don't pretend to be a doctor, but...

I come from a pretty good sized brood

and I know a sick baby when I see one

and that baby was sick.

He is hotter than a brandin' iron.

Since you don't have the means

to look after him, I just...

felt I had to do something to help out.

Hmm.

Well, Paul isn't sick.

He's just got an allergy.

His father had it. It's nothing.

Where is his father?

He's dead.

[sighs] Well, I'm sorry about that, really.

Since little Paul doesn't have a daddy

to look after him, why don't you let me

take the both of you down at the clinic?

I'll pay for whatever it costs.

Why?

But why would you do that?

I'm interested.

I bet you are.

Let's just say I care

whether the baby lives or dies.

Hmm.

Well, why don't you just, um...

why don't you just get the hell out of my life, okay?

Because I don't need your help.

just to pass the time of day.

A girl's future might be at stake.

McCloud: A baby's life!

Yeah and so is mine if I let you talk to him.

Joe?

I'm not going to tell anybody

where I got the information.

You won't be involved!

Alright. Alright.

Hold it, just a minute.

No, too loud.

Well...

No "Well's," McCloud.

No sage brush anecdotes.

Clifford: No beating around the bush.

Just simple and to the point.

What are you looking for?

A little baby.

A baby?

I assigned you to Bunco

not pediatrics!

Now, chief, I know that you're upset

but-- but you'd feel different

about it if you knew the facts.

Facts, McCloud!

There is only one fact

and I want you to know it!

Clifford: Now, this may be the single most important thing

I'm ever going to say to you, McCloud.

But I want you to listen very carefully.

Hey.

Huh? You recovered from that scare you had this afternoon?

[laughs]

Are you talking to me?

Now, you listen to me, you kook!

You sound nice, Pete.

Um, what do you look like?

Been here before?

Yeah, I was here this afternoon, remember?

I was tryin' to help Eve.

Get a doctor for her baby.

Do you remember?

What's the matter with him?

Well, we don't know but he's, uh

he's really sick.

The problem is I forgot

where she stays with the little fella.

You don't think you can help me out on that, do you?

Very important.

Well, I think you made a mistake.

I'm from Taos, New Mexico.

Not much longer, I reckon.

Yeah. Do you mind if I give you a little advice?

I mean, you know, for old times sake and...

'cause I wouldn't want anything bad

to happen to you.

Always open for a good tip.

The first thing you learn in New York

is to forget everything you learnt back home.

Uh, especially about, uh

nosing into other people's business.

Or caring about anybody else.

Sounds like a lonely place to live.

Or to die.

So, that's why I think it'll be a very good idea

if you got out of here just as soon as you could.

Think I have time to finish my ginger ale?

Hmm, just about.

Appreciate it.

Bye, now.

Hold it, pal. Where do you think you're going?

I'm telling you there's no fire.

Better be safe than sorry.

Listen, the sprinkles go on with it.

You can disturb our guests this time of night!

Now, wait a minute! You stop that...

Okay, time, cowboy, time!

Wow! You win, you win.

Phew!

Here.

[baby crying]

Better get an ambulance, fast!

[siren wailing]

[baby crying]

- We got a problem. - Well, what's the problem?

Well, I can't take this baby

without a signature on those release--

- As sick as he is? - Doesn't make any difference.

- He is sick, isn't he? - Definitely.

The little fella should be in the hospital--

Well, give me a pen.

[baby crying]

There you go.

Do you realize you just signed on as a father, right?

You wanted a signature on the thing

you got it. Now, let's get the baby out of here.

Let's go!

[baby crying]

[siren wailing]

[indistinct PA announcement]

How is he?

Uh, he's a lucky baby

that you brought him in when you did.

A few more hours, it might have been too late.

He's alright, then?

He has pneumonia.

Now, it depends on how he reacts

to the antibiotics.

You mean, he's not out of the woods yet?

Well, his condition is stable

but that can change anytime.

Now, I'll need your signature for admission

and for some tests I want to take.

- Nurse? - Thank you.

Uh, will you sign here, sir?

[indistinct PA announcement]

Oh, nurse, uh...

I, uh, left word with the baby's mother

and I'd like for you to call me

when she comes in, if you don't mind.

- Mmm-hmm. - Uh...

You can call me at this number.

Mm-hmm.

I'll call Mrs. McCloud as soon as she gets in.

Yeah, well, there's couple of things wrong

with that, first of all.

I just assume she didn't know

that I was the one who brought the baby in

and secondly I don't think she's going to be using

the name Mrs. McCloud.

Good for her.

I couldn't agree more.

A woman has a right

to keep her identity after marriage.

And after a child.

Your wife sounds like a very modern woman.

Oh, yeah, she is that. She is... very modern.

What name does she go under?

Eve.

Just Eve?

That's all I've ever known her by.

[indistinct PA announcement]

How about Eve Hale?

Joe, I'm looking for a brunette not a blonde.

You've been working around the clock

so long with these pictures,

you need to rest.

Now, when did you see a bed last?

Not sure I'd recognize one.

Well, nobody ever died

from lack of sleep.

I think.

Hmm...

Wait a minute.

She's not an Eve.

No, but we're getting close.

It's her girlfriend!

Halstead. Catherine Halstead.

[telephone ringing]

Broadhurst, Juvenile.

Yeah, he's here.

Okay, I'll tell him.

Shirley wants to see ya.

What does she want with me?

See you later. Be back.

- Morning. - Is it?

Morning, Shirley, I didn't know

that you was an early riser.

The chief wants to see you.

Good, got a couple of matters

I'd like to take up with him.

I think he's more in the mood

to be talking than listening.

Come in, McCloud.

Yeah, chief?

Well, now that you're here, McCloud...

perhaps, you'll explain

why you left me hanging

on that phone last night?

Yeah, well, that's not too hard to explain, chief.

You see, when I called you up last night

I asked you for a warrant. Do you remember?

Remember? [scoffs]

I thought of nothing else

all the way to the commissioner's office...

at dawn!

Commissioner called you at dawn?

He did.

And the commissioner

described to me

a man who broke and entered

the Grove Hotel last night.

The man was over six feet tall

wore a cowboy hat

boots, sheepskin jacket

spoke with a cactus drawl

and lugged a big .45!

Now, you know me, McCloud,

I am not one to jump to conclusions.

But have you any idea who that could possibly be?

Now, look, chief, I want to tell you something.

The commissioner, somebody gave him

a bum steer because I did not break and enter.

Do you or do you not have some

personal operation at that hotel?

Well, you wouldn't call it personal. It's--

Simple, McCloud, and to the point.

- Yes or no? - Yes. And no.

That's simple.

Now, that might sound a lil' bit funny to you, chief--

Funny?

Having my head taken off by the commissioner

first thing in the morning, McCloud, is a lot of things

but funny is not one of 'em.

Well, does the commissioner have a direct line

with that desk clerk? How did he find out about it anyway?

I don't know, McCloud, and I never will.

The commissioner asks the questions.

However...

it maybe that I have jumped to conclusions.

Maybe I haven't given you a chance to explain yourself.

Now, I want you, McCloud, to tell me anything you want to.

Because I am going to understand you, McCloud,

no matter what you say or how you say it.

You have the floor.

[knocking on door]

Come in.

Excuse me, chief.

McCloud, I just took a call for you from the hospital.

Mrs. McCloud is there to see your baby.

Well, a nurse said for you to hurry.

This is important, chief, I'll take a rain check on this.

Baby?

[instrumental music]

She still here? Eve?

She's downstairs at the cashiers, makin' a deposit.

How's the baby?

Still in the intensive care ward.

You mean, he's not responding to the antibiotics?

You have to take that up with the doctor.

But that's some woman you got.

She told me she was gonna pay all the baby's bills herself.

[instrumental music]

Eve.

Oh, I'm sorry.

McCloud, before you hurry away,

don't you think you and I should do something

about planning the rest of our family?

Where's Eve?

She's not here today.

- Kids, go figure 'em, huh? - Huh.

Listen, I wanna thank you for layin' out

all that money out for her, that was very nice of you, really.

Not half as nice as you.

Being so interested in her baby.

The nurse upstairs told me I should be proud

to have a man like you.

She was right.

And you gotta turn out to be a cop.

[chuckles]

Yeah, well, nobody's perfect.

Listen, cop, how about buyin' me breakfast, huh?

Uh, you know, breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

I mean, you need fuel to run the engine on.

Let's have a little fuel, come on?

Oh, my vitamins. Organic one's yet.

Hey, you look healthy enough.

Uh, listen, Tex swinger,

eat as much junk as I do

you gotta compensate, if it wasn't for these lil' babies,

I'd be a mass of artificial preservatives.

Here you go.

Tex, tell me somethin'.

What're you really after? Why you hanging around here?

- What am I after? - Uh-huh.

- Nothin'. - Come on.

There's nothing in my life

makes me believe in good Samaritans.

Oh, I don't know, there ain't a whole lot people

that would, uh, pay the hospital bill for somebody else's baby.

Well, I never claimed to be a saint.

But there's thousands of runaway girls in New York now.

At least I can put a roof over some of their heads

and give them a chance to earn their car-fare home.

- Workin' as bar girls? - Uh, sure.

What's the matter with, uh, hustlin' a lil' ginger ale?

Well, if that's all they do.

Like I said before.

New York's a very lonely town.

In my place they can get acquainted

and have a few hours of fun.

Yeah. Sounds like a regular church social.

Tell me somethin'.

Are you fishin' or are you just cuttin' bait?

I'm just checkin' the water.

You know, I can't help wonderin'

what kinda trouble a girl could be in

that would be so deep,

she wouldn't go back to see her own baby.

[sighs] Why don't you ask Eve that?

I don't know the answer to that one.

Well, where is she?

Listen, you're the cop.

Why don't you ask her, I don't know where she is.

Thanks for buyin' me breakfast.

[instrumental music]

McCloud: This is McCloud, get me Sergeant Broadhurst.

[telephone ringing]

- Broadhurst, juvenile. - Any luck, Joe?

Just from my optometrist. You?

Not yet, did you get any sleep?

Nah.

Looks like the raid on the warehouse

is comin' down the pike.

We're all on alert.

Good, I'll keep in touch.

Uh, Joe, uh, anything pressing?

Uh, well, chief, I've been up all night.

Good, good, come in here a minute, Joe.

I wanna try a couple of things on you.

[instrumental music]

[knocking on door]

Come on in.

- Hi. - Hi.

Did you see Paul?

No, but I paid his bill.

Three hundred dollars.

What did the doctor say?

Eve, you got a sick kid on your hands.

Health doesn't come cheap nowadays.

But did they say he'd be alright, though?

Uh, sure.

Sure, with all those expensive doctors and all that stuff.

But he's gotta stay there for a while.

And what that place costs,

we both could have a suite at the Plaza.

I really appreciate everything that you've done.

Oh, that's alright, I don't mind helpin' once in a while.

One thing you know, this could get expensive.

Listen, I-- I promise I'll pay you back.

- Somehow. - How?

Certainly, not by just hustling drinks at the club, huh?

Don't look so glum.

You know, you could make enough

to pay me back and take care of your baby for a year.

You mean, the credit cards?

Sure, why not?

The suckers have a good time, honey.

And you get 50 bucks a card.

Girl, looks like you know what you could make in one night.

Oh, we'll beef you up, you eat somethin'.

And we'll get you some new clothes, huh?

Listen, let me, let me

think about it some more, okay?

You've been thinkin' about it, Eve.

Time's come for doin'.

[instrumental music]

You got McCloud?

Right, patch him through.

Joe on phone: McCloud.

Headin' in.

Joe: Change course.

- Where to? - JFK.

We got a response on the bulletin we sent out.

John Rodney, sheriff of Avenson, Minnesota.

If she's the right girl her name is Eve Randall.

Joe: Been missing for quite a while.

- What time is he due in? - Flight 14, 11:45.

I'm on my way.

- Any luggage? - Oh, just this.

I was, uh, hopin' for a short stay.

If you've located Eve it's my intentions

to bring her right home with me.

Well, what that girl needs

is a strong hand.

[indistinct chatter]

One minute I'm alone in a strange town

and the next minute I got me a soulmate now.

How lucky can I be?

♪ Fifteen restless riders

♪ Three conductors and 25 sacks of mail ♪

Listen, why don't I pay the check

and then you and I can go some place where we can be alone--

And how's everything here?

Every lil' thing alright, huh?

What kinda credit card is good in this place?

For you, honey, any kinda card, right, Evy?

Alright.

Hank Randall, uh, Eve's father, is my oldest friend.

We go all the way back to Saipan...

But if you were to meet him today,

you'd think he was a 100 years-old.

It's been an awful ordeal for him.

Hasn't been too easy on the girl.

Well, let's just cross our fingers

that if this is our Eve, I can convince her

that she belongs home with her father.

Does he know that he's a grandfather?

- What? McCloud: Yep.

Oh, no.

I thought it might be something like that.

[sighs] Anymore surprises?

Well, you know, a lot can happen to a girl in this town,

but if you want my opinion, uh...

there's still time to save her.

♪ Headed down to the sea

♪ But all the trains and people seem ♪

♪ To fade into a bad dream

♪ Still those steel rail ain't heard the news ♪

♪ The conductor sings his song again ♪

Tell me somethin', McCloud, out of all the people

that come and go in this town

how'd you get so interested in Eve?

[chuckles] Well, when you come right down to it

I guess it was the baby, I knew that he was sick.

I also knew that she wasn't old enough

to be away from her own mother, let alone have a good sense

to take care of a kid of her own.

I guess I just heard so many stories about this town

that ended up bad, that I just wanted to see

one end up happier.

Well, she's lucky you did. We all are.

[instrumental music]

[laughing]

Oh, what a climb.

- Three flights of stairs. - Two.

[sighs] You know, I'm more winded

than after three sets of tennis.

[chuckling]

Hey, hey, hey, where you goin'?

Hey, I thought we were friends, what're you doin'?

Now, don't run away from me.

Why don't you splash your face with some cold water.

Maybe it might help.

Oh, don't you worry about me,

I'll get my second wind.

I'm sure you will, bu-- bu-- but...

just think of what you'd be missing in the meantime.

And an intelligent girl like me needs to be

totally appreciated, right?

Well...

If that's the way you want it...

you got it.

Anything hangin' over back home, uh,

she wanted by the law?

- Who, Eve? No. McCloud: Yeah.

Clean as silk.

Why did she run then?

Well, you know, I couldn't figure that out myself

until tonight.

I guess it must've been because of the baby.

Afraid of facing her father.

He couldn't stand the boyfriend.

The one that's dead?

- How'd you know that? McCloud: She told me.

- Tell you how he died? - No, no.

Well, I guess, I guess maybe she doesn't know.

Nobody really does, boy was found shot

in the middle of the field.

[instrumental music]

McCloud: Have any clues as to who did it?

No, my only guess is that

might've been one of those wild kids comin' through town

on a rock festival held nearby.

Somethin' point to that?

Oh. Come on, McCloud.

My long suit is police work.

I wanted to bet a good size pot

that it was one of those wild kids--

Woman 1 on radio: Special unit 149, McCloud.

This is McCloud, go ahead.

Sam, the chief wants to talk to you.

- What does he want? - Can't.

When I told him you're at the airport

he gave up and went home.

I'll call him first chance I get.

I'd make it sooner.

I, uh, I hope I didn't get you in any kind of trouble.

[chuckles] No, I...

I can get in enough trouble all by myself.

[instrumental music]

Hold it! Stop playing games. Shall we?

Oh, what's the matter, you some sort of kook?

- Let go of me. - Shut up!

You'll get the police in here.

Let go of me.

You alright, baby?

Hey, you, you get out of here. Beat it.

What do you mean, beat it? This is my room.

- I paid for it. - You got very tacky taste.

Get your coat and get out of here.

[instrumental music]

So that's it. She lifted my credit cards.

Just a minute, mister, before you make accusation,

this is a big city, anybody could've taken 'em.

Who are you conning here?

This is a rip off.

Alright, call it anything you want, but beat it.

You bet I'll beat it.

Right to the police.

Don't forget to tell 'em she's a minor.

What're you gonna do with the cards?

We're gonna buy pretty things.

[sighs]

Alright. So I've been had.

Now, just how much is all of this gonna cost me?

Well, let's say we're gonna use your credit cards

for a couple of days.

In exchange for your misuse of this very young girl.

And, uh, oh, in case I forgot to mention it,

if you think the police here would be interested

in you and a minor, can you imagine

what the folks back home would say?

- There's no need to do that. - No.

Not as long as you don't report your card stolen

or try to void them.

- Yeah. - Bye.

Make sure he keeps goin'.

Well, how are you, huh?

I can't do this anymore.

Oh, sure you can.

Oh, your first time out, two cards.

You made yourself a hundred dollars.

I won't do it. I can't, I just can't.

Of course, you can, baby, it gets easier all the time.

You just have to have the right incentive.

You just keep thinkin' about little Paul.

You'll do fine.

Fine!

[instrumental music]

[chuckling]

Boy, oh, boy, I've never seen anything like this place.

Oh, I tell you, New York's got a whole passel of sights

it'll draw you up short.

I figure we could keep a pretty could watch in here

and not standin' outside like a Georgia pine

in a radish patch.

- Oh, excuse me. - Where you goin'?

Gotta make a call to my chief,

see if I'm still on the payroll.

[applauding]

[instrumental music]

Clifford on phone: Clifford. - Uh, chief.

Uh, this is McCloud, you wanted to talk to me?

No, McCloud, I was ordered to talk to you.

Now, you get this and you get it straight.

You are to stay away from that hotel.

Out of date. Out of date.

Out of date.

Tell your girls to be more careful.

Mr. Walters, would you like them to carry flashlights?

The sale is shaping up to be a big one.

The orders are piling in.

But we need more merchandise.

Thelma: Can only handle just so much action.

Walters: Then get more girls.

Over there, huh?

Well, its, it's her, but...

but it isn't her.

Clifford: McCloud. McCloud!

- Well, let's go. - No, no, no, wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

You know, after all these months, I, uh...

sending out flyers and things, I, uh,

I had a dozen speeches to make to her, but...

but it was to a different Eve. Eve I knew.

Not that girl I see over there.

Well, take my word for it, with this girl you gotta move quick.

Yeah, but if I move too quick, I-- I might lose her for good.

That pretty lil' thing, Eve, I think you call her.

She come around yet?

She just turned the corner tonight.

Good.

Number like that could double our business.

Offer the girls a lil' bonus for the next couple of days.

- Seventy-five a card. - Seventy-five?

I wanna fill that warehouse by the end of the week.

Uh, Mr. Walters, I don't like to try

and tell you how to run your business--

Then don't.

Oh, look, McCloud, I-- I don't wanna talk to her...

here, you know, not in this kind of a place.

Can you, can you find out where she's stayin'?

- Well, maybe, wait here. - Uh...

Don't tell her I'm here.

I, uh, I don't wanna lose her again.

Give it my best shot.

Clifford on phone: McCloud!

Hey, what's your hurry, buddy?

- You mind if I pass by? - Yeah, I mind.

[grunting]

I want to double the action in the next few days.

You get it for me, Thelma.

Or I'll put someone in here who will.

[instrumental music]

Hey! What're you doin' up there?

Whoa, cowboy!

Okay, what do we do with him?

We gotta dump him.

You know, burglary is a minor offense

compared to usin' that gun.

Let's go.

[instrumental music]

Chief! Well, maybe you can tell what's going on here.

- Who are these clowns anyway? - Be quiet.

He your man, chief?

Yeah, don't rub it in.

These clowns as you call 'em, McCloud

are federal agents.

They've been workin' undercover at Thelma's.

That is until you tried to arrest them.

Well, I'll be dipped.

It took us almost six months to get into Thelma's.

And you almost blew our cover in one night.

Oh, look, I'm sorry about that, but...

seems to me if you were trying to setup a stake out like that

you could have gone through channels

Let the local authorities know what you were doin'.

McCloud, you don't know the meaning of the word channels.

As a matter of fact the commissioner was informed

of the federal operation, but their investigation

has nothing to do with us.

I'm afraid that's not quite true anymore.

See, the man we're lookin' for is Harry Walters.

He's planning the biggest cocaine buy in New York history.

Somewhere between two and two and a half million dollars.

Harry Walters?

Now where would he come up with that kind of scratch?

We think he's using Thelma's credit card deal

to make the buy. We saw him at the club tonight giving orders.

Good. We kill two birds with one stone.

When Walters shows up at the auction we get him,

Thelma and all the rest of 'em.

No, can't work that way.

You've got to wait until Walters

leaves the warehouse with money, after the sale.

Well, what if he doesn't come to the warehouse?

He'll show up, he deals in cash, not faith

He wouldn't trust that two million to anyone else.

So we don't move in till Walters leaves with the cash.

Right.

Chief Clifford, it's important that we work together.

Closely. No one on his own.

That means, McCloud, that Thelma's, the hotel

and the alley in between are all off limits to you.

And I wish I could extend that to Taco, New Mexico.

[instrumental music]

That's fine operator, person to person.

Ben? Hi-ya, Ben.

Everything's fine.

It's her.

No.

No, I, uh, I've seen her, but I haven't had a chance

to be alone with her yet.

But it'll all be over soon, don't worry.

She'll never leave New York city alive.

Hey, McCloud. What happened to you?

Well, to make a long story short

I'm not on assignment at Thelma's anymore.

- Did you talk to Eve? - No.

No, but I've had a lot of time to figure the whole thing out.

I, uh, I'm sure now it's gotta be her father who talks to her.

Let him go to her house and, uh, the two of 'em work it out.

Yeah, well, the only trouble with that is

I don't know where she lives.

I'm gon' be hard pressed next couple of days

to help you out.

Well, look, you've done enough already.

Why don't you, uh, why don't you just leave it to me?

Look, this might be of some help to you.

It's her closest friend.

If I were you I'd stake out Thelma's and the hotel.

Just a matter of time 'til one of 'em shows up.

Right.

[instrumental music]

It's a lot of laughs bein' on a stake out with you.

What's that?

- It's your turn. - Hm.

[music continues]

McCloud: There's a truck comin'.

License plate number 6-3-0-9 TQ.

63-09 TQ, you got it?

- Got it. - Okay.

[camera shutter clicks]

[instrumental music]

Next shift. Let's get out of here.

Yeah, that trucker just pulled in.

I think it's unloading. Check it.

Well, McCloud, a Dr. Hansen called from the hospital

on our way over.

He says it's important, he wants you to contact him now.

Thanks.

You'd be happy to hear the coffee's cold.

[intense music]

Hansen: This is Dr. Hansen.

Uh, Dr. Hansen, this is Sam McCloud.

How's little Paul doin'?

Hansen: Not as well as we'd hoped.

I'd suggest you get his mother over here

in case we have to operate, I'll need

the mother's signature to do it.

How soon?

Hansen: As soon as possible.

I'll do what I can.

Hey, Joe, would you mind going by Thelma's on the way home?

On the way? We're east and she's west.

Well, how long could it take?

Besides, Thelma's is off limits to you, remember?

Well, I'm not goin' on, I'm just

gonna check with the guy that's watchin' it for me.

Come on, let's go.

Come on.

[instrumental music]

[intense music]

- Hi, McCloud. - Any sign of her?

Not a hair.

- How about Honey? - Honey?

McCloud: Yeah, her girl friend. The one who was on the flyer.

Uh, her, either.

Well, listen, if you see Eve,

you're not gonna be able to wait

till her father gets here. Talk to her.

Well, it's a different situation now.

Eve's not the important one, it's her baby.

Oh, God.

Is he serious?

Could be critical.

Well, they won't operate unless

they get an authorization from the mother.

So I've gotta get her to the hospital.

Joe.

I'll be here.

[instrumental music]

Want me to drop you off at your hotel?

Well, I got a little matter to take care of first.

McCloud, don't get us in any trouble.

Joe, I gotta go to Bellevue.

It'll only take a minute.

What good can you do at Bellevue?

[chuckles] Well, if Eve doesn't show up

somebody's gotta go to bat for that little baby.

[dramatic music]

So, you see, McCloud, if the baby's oxygen supply

continues to be impaired, I'll have to get into his windpipe.

- How dangerous is it? - Normally, minimal.

But he'll need anesthesia.

I must have a written authorization in case.

I see.

I hope you do, McCloud.

Because whoever signs this authorization

can be held responsible for that child's life.

[intense music]

Chip. Chip.

- What's wrong? - I need some help.

- What kinda trouble are you in? - The baby?

No, I-- I need a place to stay.

Does this have anything to do with Thelma?

No, it's-- it's, um...

I-- It's personal.

But I have to stay somewhere until the baby's well.

And then?

Then, I-- I guess I'll leave town or somethin'.

Use our place.

Thanks.

- What about your things? - Um...

Tell Honey and ask her, she can bring 'em by after work.

[dramatic music]

What do you know about it?

Looks like some guy cut her rippin' 'em off.

- You know where Eve is? - Why?

Well, her baby's at the hospital

and in a bad way and time's runnin' out.

- She's at Chip's place. - I know where it is.

[intense music]

[music continues]

[metallic clanking at distance]

Eve!

Eve, this is Sam McCloud, you in there?

Eve: What do you want? - It's important.

Let me in, will you? I wanna talk to you.

He won't die, will he?

[instrumental music]

Well, then, Grover, when Walters leaves, you move in from here.

Our information says the sale will begin at 2:00.

So Walters should be clear by 4:00.

Alright, read over the details once more

and see if there's any question.

It's vitally important that everybody do exactly

what he's supposed to do.

Alright, let's go.

[speaking in foreign language]

- That's right. - McCloud.

Oh, hi.

Well, I watched all night,

Eve never showed and neither did that other girl, Honey.

It's just bad luck.

Well, it's worse than that for Honey, she was murdered.

- Murdered? - Couple of hours ago.

Did you get your call through to Eve's father?

Yeah, yeah, he's on his way,

but he won't do us much good

if I can't find Eve.

Well, maybe I can help you with that.

Look, if she's, uh, not at this address...

[mumbles]

You'll find her at the hospital.

The hospital?

I can't tell you how much I appreciate this, McCloud.

That's alright. At least she won't wind up like Honey did.

Thanks. Thanks again for everything.

Did I hear him say he didn't see Honey last night?

Yeah, he's been staking out Thelma's.

Somethin' botherin' you?

I saw him at a booth last night with Honey.

- Are you sure? - It's my job.

Joe: Okay, look, check this-- - Hey, Joe.

Did you find the flyer on Eve?

No, it wasn't there.

Well, if it'd been sent out,

it would've come here, right?

If it's been sent out, New York

is at the top of the runaway list.

Thank you.

Uh, Shirley...

Would you do me a big favor?

Would you call Evenson, Minne-- Minnesota,

and get Hank Randall on the phone

and see if he can get back to me?

- Hank Randall? - Okay.

- Evenson, Minnesota. - Alright.

[dramatic music]

Grover: Attention! This is the police.

There is no way to escape.

Hands up.

Or we will use tear gas.

Open the doors.

[dramatic music]

And I thought you and I were gonna raise a family.

Okay, let's take her down.

Listen, do you think for old times sake, uh,

you might send me some vitamins, huh?

[tires screeching]

I'll give it my best shot.

McCloud!

- McCloud here. Shirley: I have Eve's father.

Mr. Randall from Minnesota.

Hold on, I'll patch him through.

Hank: I'm Hank Randall, what's this about Eve?

Well, didn't Sheriff Rodney fill you in?

No, how could he, he's been away fishin'

at Bald Eagle Lake last couple of days.

What's goin' on?

I'll call you back.

[chopper whirring]

[indistinct chatter]

- How'd it go? Any problems? - No problem at all.

[indistinct chatter]

[chopper whirring]

McCloud! McCloud!

[indistinct shouting]

[indistinct PA announcement]

- Why is he so restless? - He's alright.

Now, Eve, one sick patient per family is all I allow.

I'm alright.

You won't be if you don't get some rest.

His condition is stable, why don't you relax

a little while over here in the waiting room?

Come on.

I promise to get you the second there's any change.

[chopper whirring]

[intense music]

Miss.

Miss!

- Well, how's the baby? - Oh, fine, fine.

The doctor asked me to get you.

[coughs]

[dramatic music]

I didn't tell anyone.

[music continues]

In there.

What do you expect me to do when you get there?

The hospital's got a roof.

It's got a basement, too.

That's where we'll end up if you try and land there.

- Come on. - Then why do you wanna kill me?

Well, if you ever were to talk,

make it impossible for old Ben and me to spend all that money.

The closest I can get you is the old,

old pad on the Pan Am building.

Well, if that's the closest you can get me,

then get me there!

[dramatic music]

- Get down there! - I can't!

Get me as close as you can!

Okay.

[dramatic music]

Help, please! Someone help!

I promise, I promise.

I won't tell anyone.

Eve: Help!

[music continues]

[instrumental music]

My... my grandson looks wonderful.

Yeah. He's gonna be alright.

So are you.

Oh.

[instrumental music]

Motivation is the key to personal attainment.

And enthusiasm for the department's program

is the key to the men's motivation.

It is that rare combination, motivation and attainment,

that keeps men alert and on their toes.

That makes me proud to say...

That makes me proud to say

that these are my men.
