8 -8 -39, no water warrant, roger.

3 -8 -8, 3 -8 -88, see the woman, a 4
-15 -5, 2 -7 -0 -1, Wilder,

code 2.

13 -0 -20, 13 -C -20, go to touch.

Your officer under a light's getting a
little icky.

Yeah, well, so would you be.

This thing goes down, he's right in the
middle of it.

There he is.

Just fly.

What kept you? It's 8 .20.

A couple of dirty old ladies in a bar.

Oh, as long as it was something
educational.

Three guys are going to take this place
down.

That's what our snitch told us. And at 8
.30.

But you know how reliable snitches are.

Yeah, otherwise they'd be policemen,
right?

Pick a spot where you won't be shooting
at each other now. Anything else, Chief?

Yeah, keep away from dirty old ladies.

71 gray cat. Bingo.

90 Charles, this is Elliot.

Go ahead, Elliot.

Something strange, Lieutenant.

There are three guys near the cashier's
window.

They don't look like they came to enjoy
the fight.

Keep your mouth shut.

You and your buddies back up to the
door.

When you hear someone rap, open it.

Okay, okay.

You do what I say, or I'll blow your
head off.

Police officer, speed!

I've got something to show you.

Give him his rights.

Oh, my God. Yeah.

Killed within the last couple of hours,
I see.

Notify the shooting team.

Ambulance. Yeah.

I'm not a fine homicide now, Tosh.

Oh,

yes, Paul is okay. Yeah, he's all right.
A couple of our guys took his wife over

to the hospital, so she realized that
we're just not saying he's okay.

How'd you make out the shooting table?

They're going to try and get me a medal.

Oh, yeah?

Oh, listen, the captain wants to see
you, too.

Paul? Yeah? What's he want? I don't
know, but I don't think it's another

I already talked to all the other people
involved in the Olympic thing tonight.

They all did a damn good job.

Didn't even get a civilian scratched.

Now, about this girl you found.

It's my old bitch, you know, sir. They
found out she went to technical trade

school. She had a boyfriend, but he's
been pretty much ruled out already.

There's a preliminary report that says
she was raped before she was strangled.

Robbery homicide is getting interested
because they think there may be an M .O.

developing.

Tonight, about 6 o 'clock, there was a
robbery.

Mom and Pop Grocery Store.

Four masked men.

Eight days ago, there was a robbery at
the Sun Air Motel.

Four masked men.

They took the motel manager and his
cash. They found him alive, but two

later, they found a girl raped and
murdered who'd been living in one of the

rooms. They grabbed her in the parking
lot, I think, right after the robbery.

The Sun Air is also on your old beat.

So we thought we might put you and two
other Metro officers on it.

Yes, sir.

Do you have any questions?

No, sir.

Well, if we do nothing else in this
police department, we turn out some good

street cops.

Are you Officer Forster?

That's right.

I'm John Wilson. The detectives, they
told me you'd be working the beach

Oh?

Karen.

Karen was my girl. My fiancée, I guess
you'd say.

Oh.

I'm sorry, John.

Are you working the case?

Well, I'm one of the officers involved
in the investigation, yeah.

Most of them know more about it than I
do, though.

Oh, I just couldn't stay in that
apartment anymore.

I mean, I guess I should be getting our
things together, but I... I just

couldn't do it yet.

How long have you known her?

Three months, almost four.

We met in school.

I haven't been able to go to class. I
don't know where the hell to go. How

at folks?

Not much family.

Family she had was back in Oklahoma.

She barely scraped up enough to get an
old clunker across the country and she

had a couple bags of sunflower seeds to
get her through until she got a job.

She was studying child care.

Like kids.

Anyway, she didn't have that much.

She had her life to live. I mean, that
much belonged to her.

Until somebody took that away from her.

When did you see her last?

Early yesterday afternoon. I have
afternoon classes, and on the way I

off. She was doing the laundry.

You know, it's funny.

All the things she folded are still on
the dresser.

Did she have any glasses yesterday?

Yes.

One in the evening at seven o 'clock. I
guess that's why she stopped by the

drive -in. She loves cheeseburgers
instead of that deli food at the

where she works.

Did you tell the detectives that?

I don't think so. I didn't even think
about it. All right, don't worry about

I'll take care of it.

Nice talking to you, John.

but no number that any of the witnesses
can agree on.

Same group, looks like it. Four masked
men, 71 gold Grand Prix.

Well, so far we've got no report of
another missing girl, but I don't

that situation will continue.

some help.

Thanks. Made a joke, huh?

This girl come in here the night before
last?

Oh, yeah. I think she was in.

As a matter of fact, she comes in here
pretty regularly.

Hey, is she in some kind of trouble?

She was murdered.

Oh, my God.

Why?

Well, there was a robbery going on about
when it happened.

Do you suppose we can pin down the time
that she came in here?

Um, I'd say around...

me my checks for that night.

Oh,

well, they're all a sequence, but not
that much.

Let me see that.

But that's for a party of four.

They may be looking for a party of four.

This is hers, I'm pretty sure.

Cheeseburger, extra french fries, and
iced tea. She always had that. Do you

remember anything about this party of
four?

No, not much.

I remember there was a party of four
guys.

Let me see.

Yeah, but here's another one for a party
of four, so I really can't be sure.

What about the four guys? Did they say
or do anything?

That's not a line.

Well, maybe if they had, it probably
would have been easier for me to

What about the car?

Remember the color of it?

Um, ah, gold.

Could it be a 71 Grand Prix?

Sure, but after a while, all the cars
look alike.

Did they leave before or after the girl?
Remember that?

What was the amount on her check? Oh,
$218.

And the $400 ticket you got? $11.

I left

right after she did.

Listen, if you see any of these guys,
come in here again.

Make a call.

You got the number of the station?

In this neighborhood?

Don't forget, I'll appreciate that.

Oh. Uh, first six cops are on the house.
Oh, thanks.

I'll see you, Irene.

Uh, Joe?

You, uh, you gonna be working the beat
regular?

For a while, anyway.

So don't up and quit without letting me
know, huh? Oh, I know when I got a good

thing. The food's terrible, the hours
are awful, and the neighborhood's

dangerous.

Some of us are just born winners.

Well, well, Plumsy's been a long time.
Yeah, but not long enough.

Still got a big mouth, huh?

How are they treating you?

Oh, okay.

Forrester, you're holding up traffic.

Turn left at the intersection. Pull your
car over to the curb.

Do what?

We'll get to that.

Come on, I'll walk you over.

Hey, what's the matter with you,
Forrester?

Would you like to tip people around?

Come on, give me a break.

What do you think you're doing?

Come on.

Forrest, let's get a little old for
this. Put your hands in the back of that

car.

Spread your legs.

All the way back.

Oh, come on. This is a fine suit. That's
what you think.

Huh? I want to call my lawyer.

Nothing like a little legal advice.

Everything out of your pockets.

And turn them in straight out.

All right, back in the car.

What do you do for a living now, huh?

Travel salesman. I'm on the road.

What's the name of your company?

Cameo Novelty. What's the address?

I told you, I'm on the road.

9th Street and Wills.

8th and Harvey, I think.

Huh. What have we got here?

Hey, I pay good money for that stuff.

Are they real? What do you mean, are
they real? What do you think I am?

I know what you are.

I'll have to give him a little test.

Hey, Forrest, are you going to wreck the
city? Put your hands down there.

It was Ethan Harvey, wasn't it? How long
ago did you get off that bus?

About two hours ago.

Where from?

Bakersfield.

And you met Plums at the bus stop,
right?

Yeah, he's been so nice.

I bet he is.

Just do as I tell you. Now, shut up. Put
your hands back there.

How old are you?

Eighteen.

How about sixty?

And a phony driver's license, which I
imagine he's already given you.

How do you know that?

Because a couple of years ago, I stopped
him in traffic, just like I did now.

And he was chauffeuring another young
girl around town.

With the obvious idea of making a hook
around her.

Did I leave anything out, Bums?

I forgot that I always fight.

Oh, no.

I remember.

Two days on the beat and you're a
regular task force.

Yeah, it's your guy, isn't it?

Okay.

We've talked to her, Forrester. She says
she has no arrest record at home, and

I've been working with juveniles long
enough to have a pretty good feel for

they're telling the truth.

Well, problems would have changed all
that for her.

I'm sure.

Listen, if it's okay with you, we'll
take her back to the station, check out

story, call her folks, and try to get
her on a bus back home tonight.

Fine. Good idea.

Okay. Take care.

Always good.

Thanks for dropping by.

We were securing a place called Ann Lee
for a while. I mean, we were there

during the day, and the Viet Cong got it
back at night.

Basically, I don't think the people
cared anymore.

They got help from us. They got help
from the Viet Cong. They just didn't

it could be any other way.

Slow down.

Hold on to the parking lot.

What do you think?

It fits the description.

There was a car, something like that,
and it was driving two nights ago.

Where do you get that?

It pulled out right at the car miller.

Let's call it in.

The parking lot owner doesn't know how
long the car's been here.

And that tow truck is a no -show. I want
you to get on him now.

assigned 14 additional Metro men to the
swing in the early morning shifts in

this division.

Now, I was in the chief's office this
morning and he has read every report on

this thing.

Now, what he's looking at is a gang of
four men who have raped and murdered

three girls and successfully pulled five
armed robberies in a week's time.

And we are still waiting in the starting
gate.

Now, does anybody have any ideas?

Things that we are doing wrong, or not
doing at all.

I don't like to go against the tide, but
I just don't think that pouring more

men into one neighborhood is going to
solve our problem.

I understand we already have positive
identification of the motor number, and

know the car was stolen in San Rafael
two weeks ago.

That's right.

The car must have been stolen in San
Rafael, driven for X numbers of days,

somewhere along the line, the original
license plate's changed for a car stolen

in Sacramento. So maybe what we're
looking for is a gang that originated in

northern or central California and moved
in down here into a motel and is

working out of there.

Well, the brass talks enough.

Any of the officers working this have
any ideas?

How about you, Forrester?

Quite sure we're on the right track,
sir, even if it is going a little

But I was thinking Sacramento is pretty
close to Folsom. And San Rafael is right

outside of San Quentin.

Maybe part of the gang could be recently
released inmates from one of those

joints. Or from both of them.

Let's get somebody started checking that
out. Go ahead.

I still think they've lived in the
neighborhood.

Or at least gone to a lot of trouble to
get to know it.

Because those spots they hit last night,
they knew exactly where those three

cash registers were located.

And they took a motel owner and one of
the girls out of a busy motel.

Nobody knew anything was happening.

Yeah.

Good points, Joe.

Well, I think I made it clear that I
didn't come down here to chew anybody

And we don't expect any miracles.

But I can tell you that the chief wants
those four animals found.

And an immediate disposition made of
their cases.

Still running?

Hasn't stopped in ten years.

Except when I forget to wind it. How you
been?

Oh, more good days than bad. How about
yourself?

Same difference.

How's your family?

Well, the boy's gone through college.
The girl's gone through a fortune.

Everything I could have hoped for.

Well, I imagine the boy's from the
Divisional Homicide Committee, then.

with a list of everything those three
dead girls owned.

Poor kid from Oklahoma. She had a lousy
high school graduation ring.

The only thing of value was a gold
friendship ring the nurse owned.

Marie Harris.

Marie Harris.

Well, if anyone walks in with it, I'll
give you the call.

Not that I don't have faith in somebody
else's work, but I was the one who found

the girl's body. I had a girl from
Oklahoma, and I was wondering if...

look, you want to see the book? Joe, be
my guest.

Sure. Here it is, right here. Just
looking at it.

The writing is worse than mine, Jake.

Yeah, I'm the only one who has to read
it.

Woman's gold cigarette lighter, born on
the 18th. That was the day after the

first girl was killed.

Yeah, well, that wasn't on the list.

Does his name mean anything to you?

Harry Brown, 14117.

It's like Jones or Smith. Besides that
address, that's a plop house.

I'm sure the homicide boys made a note
of it, but just in case.

something for you?

You got any infrared film?

No, just the regular. Not too much of
that.

Okay, thanks.

Yeah.

What do you want with infrared film?

Who knows?

Has he been in it before?

No,

no.

Do you mind being back on the beat?

No, not at all.

I kind of like it.

Good seeing you, Jake.

i'll be back anytime pal

Hey, Joe, it's been a while.

Yeah, it has been.

Scotch on the rocks with a twist?

Right on.

You'll marry the piano, huh? Yeah.

Find out if he can play Georgia on my
mind.

Good luck.

Every time I do the California art
business, it's hard to go back home. Oh,

same thing happened to me. Only I was
with the airline.

Yeah. Does the customer down at the end
of the bar would like you to have Pietro

play Georgia on my mind?

Pietro doesn't know it. How do you know
he doesn't know it unless you ask him?

Georgia on my

mind? Rego?

Yeah, play that instead.

I still think you're the dynamite kid,
don't you?

Did I do something wrong?

Don't you like that song, Georgia?

Well, I don't.

It's corny.

You think just because you put up a buck
for a song, I'm supposed to... No, no,

no. I'm not supposed to do anything that
you don't want to.

Not you, that's for sure.

I'm sorry that I haven't called for a
couple of days. You mean a couple of

weeks. Well, they've been pouring it on
me over there. I'm a -working night and

day, and... Yeah, well, so have I.

And I have to do the same thing tonight.

So unless you plan on getting drunk,
there's no point in hanging around here.

Timmy's home alone, and I... Timmy's at
his grandmother's.

I phoned and said goodnight to him.

You think all you have to do is come
around when you're in the mood.

Just terrible. Doesn't matter that you
haven't called for two weeks. Hopeless,

that's all. Just hopeless.

Well, you know, I must have some
terrible self -destructive flaw in my

character. Yeah, why is that?

But I guess I know that if I called you,
if I was sick or if Timmy was sick, no

matter what time of day or night, no
matter where I was, you'd find a way to

off work.

That's right. And go wherever I was and
spend your last cent.

That's what I've been trying to tell
you.

We got a beautiful thing going here.

Let's not mess it up.

I bet you don't remember me, do you?

No, I'm sorry.

Where, uh... Jolene. Jackson.

Oh, I was little then, but my mother,
Mavis Jackson, used to work at the

California Club. Oh, yeah, yeah. On
Santa Barbara.

Yeah. Yeah, sure. Oh,

and there was another place where she
lived and also had a... Yeah, she had an

after -hours place on 97th Street.
Right. That's where all the musicians

scat singers used to gather after the
California closed up at night.

You know...

I don't think I was more than, oh, nine
or ten years old at the time, but I used

to sneak out on the balcony and I'd see
like a neat old day and a Tremere twin.

Very good.

And I remember you because Mom said that
you were cool. She said as long as

there was no fighting or anything, then
you'd just toot your horn when you came

by and keep on going.

Oh, she said that, didn't she? As far as
I knew, it was just a nice old Spanish

-style house and the family liked music.

Yeah, you know, it really was a nice old
house.

Wow. How is your mother?

Oh, well, she's fine. She lives in Vegas
now, and I live here with my father.

He's a pulpit.

Oh, civil servant like myself, huh?

Yeah.

How's school going?

What class are you taking back there?

I'm taking a sewing class, same one as
that girl that got killed.

Oh, do you know her?

Karen Miller?

No. God will, but, uh, I liked it.

Talk to me like that, huh?

Yeah, you know, the detectives already
talked to all of us that were in class

with her.

Oh, yeah?

I don't know if I should say this or
not.

I don't want to get anybody in any
trouble, and it might not be anything,

know?

Jolene, three girls are dead, raped, and
murdered.

I know it. I read the papers.

Well, see, there was this guy in class,
and he used to try to date Karen

sometimes, but she told him she already
had a boyfriend, and I was there once

when he got nasty with her about it.
He's still in class?

I don't think so. I think he dropped out
a couple of weeks ago.

What's his name, do you know?

I don't know. I really don't. I've got
to go. My bus is here, and I don't want

to lose it. Jolene.

You gotta help me get his name.

You gotta help me now.

Okay, let's see what I can do for you.

You know, you gotta realize there's an
awful lot of people coming and going

through this school. How about James
Burns? Don't ring a bell.

Dismissed after repeated absences.

James Burns?

Could be. It seems like I do remember
somebody calling in Jimmy.

Unemployed, single?

12 -14, Cannon 3.

What do you got?

It's just a possible so far.

There are a couple of detectives from
robbery on the way. They'll run the

You got his description?

Right. Okay.

You two cover the back.

Anybody comes out that fits the
description, just start an FI card on

But be careful.

It's possible for three 187s.

Got it.

Thank you.

All right, put your hands on the wall.

Feet back.

Spread them.

Anybody inside there?

I'll ask you a question. Anybody inside?

All right, line down.

Open the door.

Hands up.

Over it.

All the way.

On your face.

Spread those arms.

Don't move or you're a dead man.

Oh, hell.

I can't believe it. I've been on the
debate in five years. I can't even

our own number. You give up the right to
remain silent. Anything you say can and

will... Listen, I didn't know he was
going to kill me. Shut up. Yeah, this is

Callen. Listen, we've got one dead
suspect, we've got another suspect in

custody, and Forrester's been shot. I
don't know. The paramedics just got him.

Shut up.

I don't know. I just got here.

Can you hear me, buddy?

Without charge. Can you hear me?

Huh? You understand each of your... How
many times did he fire at you? I

understand. Once.

Any pain anywhere in your body?

Oh, I got this terrible ringing in my
ears.

Well, that'll probably go away.

Oh,

I'm a son of a gun.

What is it?

Looks to me like the bullet parted his
hair and warmed his scalp.

Can I get up then? No, no, no. You stay
here. We'll bring you a stretcher.

No, no. The one that shot Forrester is
the dead one.

Right.

How about that, huh?

Blocker was born right in the
neighborhood.

I had a hunch about that.

So was Burns.

The question is, how did those two get
together?

Anything in the other two yet?

No, so far Burns is holding firm.

Well, not exactly firm. He's scared to
death.

But at the moment, he's more scared of
them than he is of us.

Speaker. Yeah.

Yeah, Frank.

I'll be a son of a gun.

Well, thanks very much. Oh, would you
notify the detectives talking to Burns?

That's fine.

That .45, that block I had last night.

That was taken in the South Vale Armory
holdup two months ago.

Oh, the first one to show up? Out of 75
guns.

You suppose the other two got the rest?

You know, that's a pretty good picture
of Block on the paper.

Pretty good picture of Joe Forrester,
too.

Thank you.

Now, I will leave you on the desk,
either here or over in patrol, until I

the final word from the shooting review
board.

It's just starting to break open.

There's a couple of other things I've
got going, too.

Yeah, I guess there are.

All right, you can read about yourself
between Nats and the L car.

You got a Texan scam going on this
street. I don't know what you're talking

about.

What are you going to do with that glass
cutter?

I never saw that. I just stopped to look
in the window.

Don't give me that.

You came in here yesterday to make a
collection.

But I was here. And today Mandel closed
early.

What are you telling Mandel and the
other shop owners? Keep me in wine and

cigarettes and you won't get hurt?

Nobody will leave a mess in your
mailbox, bust your windows, or set fire

back end of your store. Is that what
you're telling me?

You got some kind of proof?

They're under arrest.

Did you see that picture of yourself in
the paper today?

Yeah.

Come on, let's get this discussion off
the streets.

The story also said you were working
foot patrol when you gained information

leading to Blocker and Burns.

Yeah, I know.

Tonight somebody opened up on you nine
times.

It was just a random snubbing, that's
all. A couple of nights ago they took a

shot at an officer over in the
Devonshire division.

Hardly a Saturday night. Somebody just
popped a cap with a black and white out

in the southwest.

Nice place.

Yeah, I'm thinking of trying to buy in.

Joe! Hi, Lola.

Is that guy that shot at you? Not yet.

He's gone. What?

Lola, huh?

You've got to familiarize yourself with
the community.

Joe, we don't think it was a random
sniping. There were two of them left.

They've really got nothing to lose, and
they know you're the one that took

Blocker's head off for him.

What are you getting at?

We want to take you off the beat.

You mean put somebody else on it? No,
we'll pull all three men off the beat

ships and put you with the other Metro
officers. We'll be headed to the morning

and night watches.

We'll still be on a case, but you'll
have a partner, and you won't be walking

around like Target Blue. No, damn it,
no!

I mean, we had dicks working out of
cars, talking with Jolene Jackson.

But it was the cop on the beat.

Somebody who knew her mother, who knows
the neighbor that she opened up to. Joe,

we're not taking away what you
accomplished. All we're saying is, is it

your life?

The average armed robber goes a mile out
of his way to avoid a cop, let alone

kill one.

That's a theory I'm not quite sure is
true anymore. How can I ever face the

people in my beat if I run away really
because some punk with a rifle takes a

couple of shots at a blue uniform and a
black and white?

You're a beat, Joe? Yeah, the
neighborhood has gone downhill enough.

You gotta give me half a chance to build
it up again.

Your beat, huh?

Where?

Check off his flat, Joe.

Thanks.

You want me to leave you here with Lola?

Just leave me with my feet.

Okay, Joe.

I don't know what the hell you're
thinking me for.

5 -0 -14.

5 -0 -14.

5 -0 -14, go ahead.

Central robbery.

5 -1 -14, roger.

Robbery, Callen.

Yeah, this is Joe Forrester.
Communication says you want to talk to

yeah, Joe. I just thought you'd like to
know we got results back on the

ordinance that was used against you last
night.

Oh, what'd you get?

It is military ammunition.

Armor piercing.

A lot of that stuff was grabbed at that
South Vale robbery, wasn't it? Yeah, I

checked. 15 ,000 rounds.

So now we got blockers 45, and probably
the ammo definitely tied into the armory

thing.

I don't think it was some kid, some gang
kid out to make a name for himself that

took a shot at you last night.

Forrester, are you there?

Yeah. Did you hear what I said?

Yeah, I heard.

Well, how's it going out there?

Oh, nothing to it, buddy.

Hi, Jake.

Oh, hi, old Joe.

How'd he treat you?

Oh, pretty good.

I had to unload some stock before I
could open up in the morning.

Yeah. How'd you get all done? Yeah,
pretty much so. I'm glad I ran into you.

want to thank you for scooping up that
bum.

Thanks to you, I don't have to replace
this whole window here.

Yeah, forget it.

Also want to apologize for lying to you,
saying I never saw the guy.

Why did you lie to me?

Well, it's been a long time since we've
had a beat cop, and I guess me and six

other guys on the street felt it would
be easier to pay off than have something

happen, if you know what I mean. They
got officers riding around in one man's

car. Oh, sure, sure.

Two nice young fellas.

They come in, and you tell them maybe
some bums.

threatening to make a mess in the
mailbox if you don't slip in 20.

They make out a police report two pages
long and then they go.

The bum comes along.

It's all over. I'm glad I could help.

How long are you going to stay on this
piece?

Until I finish this job, I won't anyway.

You know this fellow Burns?

The guy you shot whose picture was in
the paper?

What about him?

Well, I used to see him every now and
then go in that massage parlor over on

7th.

I own the building.

Why haven't you said something?

There's a couple of hard -working
detectives who'd like to know this about

Grimes. I'm not a snitch.

Now you tell me.

That's different. I like you.

Besides, I hear they're shooting at you.

Oh, good evening, Lieutenant.

Good evening.

Good evening, Officer.

Well, nice place you got here.

Thank you.

I was wondering if I could take a look
at your facilities.

I got an uncle and he's got this back
condition.

Maybe you could help him.

Oh, sure.

Hiya, gals. I'm back in town and ready
to...

Des Moines, wasn't it, Charlie?

Sioux City.

I forgot something. I'll be back in a
moment.

They're not used to seeing law
enforcement officials here.

I get it.

Ah, they're pretty.

What do they call this kind of
wallpaper, anyway?

Flocked. Yeah, flocked. Yeah, it's very
pretty.

Look, Officer Forrester, if I'm in some
kind of trouble, just tell me. No, no,

no trouble. I just need some
information, that's all.

I understand this guy's been in here
occasionally.

Well? Yeah.

Four or five times, maybe, but not
lately.

Anybody with him?

Yeah.

What was his name, you know?

A guy named Al Spencer.

Where can I find him?

That ought to be a cinch for you.

Last time he was in, he was very
generous with the girls.

He said he could afford it.

Because he wouldn't need the money in
San Quentin.

Thank you.

Oh, they got a hold of you after all.

What are you talking about?

Well, that number you gave me. I called
and they said they tried to catch up

with you. Break it around, will you?

One of the four guys who was in here the
night Karen was killed was in the

restaurant. He just went towards the
men's room.

Did you tell the detectives about this
when you talked to them on the phone?

No, I only thought about telling you.

Describe it.

A big guy, broad -shouldered, brown
hair, very high cheekbones with eyes

kind of look like Truya. I could swear
he was sitting beside the driver that

night. Thanks, Larry.

All right, we got the all units alert
out, but there's nothing so far.

I imagine he dumped the T -bird.

You got anything yet on this bell,
Spencer?

Well, him and his buddy won't be
visiting any massage parlors again.

His parole officer found out he got
stopped with a .45 on him, sent him back

the joint like that.

Did he ever do any time with, uh,
Locker?

We found out that they were together in
queue in 71 and 72 and then in Folsom in

68.

Of course, we don't know how well they
knew each other, you know.

At least they have burns in common.

What's the matter, Joe?

Oh, nothing.

Look,

Joe, if you've got an idea, I mean a way
to go, and you don't want to sound like

you're telling us how to do our job.

I mean, come on.

What I was thinking was... Suppose
Spencer, not knowing that he was going

himself violated, of course...

But knowing that Blocker was coming out
of Folsom, he started putting a gang

together. And arming them with guns from
the Southvale Army robbery, which would

explain why the guns hadn't turned up on
the market.

Right.

And he could have brought Burns into the
gang.

Dan Spencer had his misfortune. Blocker
came out, met Burns, took over, and was

running the gang.

Well, I don't know if he was running it,
but anyway, Blocker's dead.

The two remaining ones are deadly enough
to keep Burns on the edge of his seat.

We're going to take a run at the San
Quentin to talk to Spencer, but his

officer says he's a hard case.

Well, even hard cases have an occasional
visitor.

Oh, well, check it out. I got an idea.

Let's call her now.

I'm glad.

Officer Joe Forster!

I never thought I'd see you again. I
didn't do it.

I'm fine. I'm fine.

Baby, look at you.

He is, and you're younger and handsome
than ever.

I look like a superior coach, Judge.

Yeah, all he needs is a robe.

How's it going there, Claudia?

Claudia, Claudia.

How's things?

Oh, it could be better, it could be
worse.

I can't get over how you stayed so
handsome when I got old. Oh, that's not

Oh, yes, it is sad to say. In the old
days, I used to go in that courtroom and

cast my eyes down.

The judge would think I'm no good
player, let a pretty young thing astray.

Sure is good to see you, Officer Ford.

Nice to see you too, Claudine.

Me too.

Good luck.

You sure do look handsome, General.

I did her a favor once.

Helped her son get in the Air Force.

Sure you did.

I did.

Taking the waist a bit.

Shorten this cuff about half an inch.

Set a military creases and you're all
set, okay?

Anything you say, let me hear the
expert.

That's a beautiful piece of wool. Last
him a lifetime.

Yeah, well, not necessarily.

How much?

$26 .40 with tax and license.

$26 .40?

That's your chart.

Yes.

And you sure it look all right? Oh,
yeah. It looks a little bit like this

but very nice.

Sharp. $27, $28, $29, $30. And it's a
pleasure doing business with you.

Same here.

You know, it's nothing personal.

I've always been known as the type of
person that never went in without a

We've all got to have something to be
proud of.

You know, it didn't turn out to be too
bad.

The DA could prove that the stuff was
stolen, but it had changed hands so many

times, they couldn't prove that I knew
it was stolen.

And if we don't make the case, they've
got to put you on the streets.

That's the system. See you, Forster.

You stay away from that bus terminal.

That bus terminal.

If it found out this guy you busted
bought you a new shirt. Oh, listen, if a

beat cop's going to worry about what the
department thinks, you'll never get any

work done.

The city's not going to buy me a new
shirt.

He wrecked it, didn't he? Yeah, I did.
Well, then he's going to have to come up

with a 2640.

And that doesn't mean that I won't bust
him again if I have to. And he tears up

another shirt.

And he pays for another shirt. That's
the... Hey, here's your cap.

I'll see you later.

I'll keep everything warm.

Uh, 1143 Maple Drive.

I've been, Joe.

That was a fast trip you made to Q.

Yeah, we got lucky.

Spencer wouldn't give us the month or
the year, but we found out that prior to

the robberies and on one occasion since,
he was visited by a guy named Rod

Callister. We phoned his name down
before we hopped the plane.

And you found something? Well, he hasn't
got a record, but he's a former

employee of the Southvale Armory.

He was given a routine questioning along
with the other employees there, nothing

at the time.

But he quit a week later, and he lives
at the Palm Garden Motel.

That's only about four blocks from where
I found Karen Miller.

And six blocks from the Sun Air, where
they knocked over the motel office and

kidnapped the first girl.

They like to work their own
neighborhood, don't they?

Okay, that's the last of the occupants.
He's in there all by his lonesome now.

You gonna hog him out?

Yeah.

Rod Callister, this is the police.

Come out with your hands up.

Sounds like an AR.

He's no regular dummy. He's got
firepower.

Okay.

Joe,

what are you doing? Let him give up, and
when he gets to the county jail, he's

going to shut his mouth, just like
Burns.

What about the other guy, then? We've
got nothing on him at all.

Well, we'll get nothing from this one if
you blow his head off.

Let me have that bullhorn.

Get Callister on the landline.

I've got something to say to him that I
don't want anybody else to hear.

Pick up the phone when it rings.

I said I'd give up!

And I said pick up the phone when it
rings.

You all set? Yeah. That's the
communication.

She'll be ringing.

Look, I said I'm gonna give up.

This is Joe Forrester, the guy you've
been shooting at. Now you listen to me,

you no -good sucker. You don't take nine
shots at me and then give up.

You're just as good as dead, you hear?
Just as good as dead. Unless you give me

a reason to keep you alive.

It wasn't my idea, it wasn't my idea!

Then whose was it?

He killed me.

Maybe he will, but you'll be damn sure
we will. Just as sure as hell, right

and now. So you better talk, Mr. Hand,
fast.

Barber.

Jim Barber.

$7 ,000 and two flight bags. Anything we
missed?

No, no. Joe, Barber has about 10. I got
a mugshot and a rap sheet on Barber. He

goes all the way back to 57.

Armed robbery, rape, ADW.

Yeah, he's a guy who almost got in a
driving accident.

You were all packed. Where were you
going?

Mexico. With only $17 ,000?

We were going to make another hit.

When? Where?

Tonight. Save more discount.

How are you going to work it?

Barbara was going to grab a car and meet
me at 87th and Adams at 9.

We'll use that car to make the score
about the time the store closes.

We dump it and take this one to the
airport.

Well, I was supposed to contact you
between now and 9 o 'clock.

No. Look, you lie to me about any of
this and I'll send you downtown alone

Forrester.

Now get him out of here.

We've got plenty of time, almost two
hours.

Let's take out 87 and Adams, pick a
detective that resembles Callis, then

him in Callis' clothes, and we'll take
Barber down.

Okay.

One more and we'll wrap it up, huh?

Joe.

Joe.

I, uh... I'm afraid I can't take you
with me on this one, Joe.

He knows you. There have been two
attempts on your life already.

I'm taking a chance with the life of the
decoy officer as it is.

Is that the only reason?

Look, you know as well as I do that I
hope he gives us an excuse, any excuse

blow him up.

But if you're there and it goes that
way, it's not going to go down as an

with a shooting.

It's going to go down as an execution.

Forrester on 412, central beat 3.

Forrester, Lieutenant Eaker requests an
immediate contact, either at 87 at Adams

or 114 if he has left the scene.

Roger.

5L14 to 80 Charles.

80 Charles, Roger 5 -0 -14.

Stand by, please.

Forrest, center radio.

Forrest, sir.

This is Eaker.

Got some bad news for you.

You lost him. No, we got him.

But I couldn't talk him into making a
fight of it.

Now, for administrative purposes, you
better walk the beat tomorrow.

But relax, Joe.

It's over.

Okay.

Yeah. Yeah, it's over.

Hi. Are you waiting for me?

Who else?

Oh, wow. I thought I'd see you last
night. I read all about you.

With your help.

Oh, I didn't do anything.

How's things going, Jody?

Things okay.

I'm late for class again, but
everything's okay.

That's good.

Hey, maybe I can walk you to the bus
lane.

Oh, well, not tonight, because my dad's
still laughing, but I'll be here Friday

night. Well, I don't know. You see, this
was just sort of a temporary assignment

because of his case.

Oh, well, you don't mean you're here to
say hello and goodbye all at the same

time. Maybe not. Maybe I'll be back.

A lot of people around here seem to
think I'm needed.

I kind of like the idea of having an
officer on the beat. It gives them a

feeling of security, they say.

Hey, you know what? You promised that
you'd try to get back here.

But if you don't, it'll be a damn shame.

You know the difference.
