1 Adam 12, 1 Adam 12, a 2-11 in progress.

1 Adam 12, handle code 3.

That must have been some party last night.

You didn't see that girl with the cum and her smile?

Well, strawberry flax is getting gray.

That's the trouble with being a bachelor.

Must be tiring, all that pursuit.

Expensive, too.

And dinner, a movie, a couple of drinks, aspirin. It was worth it.

What did you do last night? Something exciting like balance your checkbook?

Are you going to tell me about it?

About what?

About the party.

Eat your heart out.

Can you tell us what happened?

He took my purse. I left it in the car and he took it.

I come every month to trim the grass, make neat.

My husband is here.

I'm Mrs. Hong Toy.

It was so peaceful, quiet.

He took my purse.

No respect for the dead.

You could have gotten yourself killed.

My place is waiting for me.

It can wait a little longer.

Is he going to give me a ticket?

No, ma'am.

Can you give us a description of the man?

I did not have my glasses on.

I almost caught him.

How you feeling?

I think I could use some to eat.

It's a little early for seven. Yeah.

It's a shame to have that happen to her.

What else has she got to do but go to the cemetery once a month and pull

weeds?

That could be the way to end up.

Yep.

You know, I don't know how they handle it.

They seem to be handling it all right.

Yeah. How'd you like to play shuffleboard every day? Right now, I'd

settle for a long weekend.

What happens when the weekend's permanent and there's no job to go back

to? Terrific.

You really mean that?

Why not? That's what it's all about, isn't it? You put in your 20 years, get

the gold watch, and head for the rocking chair.

All by yourself?

I plan to be a dirty old man.

Don't say it.

I was just wondering what the odds are of you finding a nice old lady who likes

dirty old men.

It's your turn.

Oh, I'm glad I saw you fellas.

What do you got, George?

Oh, this is a tough place I got here.

A lot of cons fresh out of the joint.

Got to watch it all the time.

You got some trouble?

It's a halfway house, you know.

A place where they get back to being useful members of society again.

But it's not a place you should find any dope, right?

That's right.

I mean, I'd be stepping off on the wrong foot, wouldn't I?

But let me tell you, I may be just sitting on top of the biggest bust in L

.A.

And that's a fact.

Somebody using or dealing?

I got my eye open.

You contacted Narco? Of course. I know the procedures.

I told them it was a mistake, but they wouldn't believe me.

What kind of mistake?

Not to duke somebody in.

I mean, I'm in harness. How am I supposed to get next to those dudes?

But they wouldn't listen.

And I'd like you and Pete there.

You know what it's like to be on the firing line.

But those dicks, what do they know, huh?

Yeah.

Listen, we'll check with you from time to time, George. If you spot anything,

you let us know, okay?

Yeah, I'll do that.

Hey, you want some advice?

When you're patrolling... Do one round with your hat on, the next time with

your helmet on, the next time with your hat off.

And then take turns driving.

That way they think there's more cops than there really is, see?

You ought to mention that at a roll call.

I just might do that, George.

Yeah, we used to do that when we were shorthanded.

Come to think of it, it seems like we were always shorthanded.

I have to tell you about the summer... Oh, I was still a probationer.

And me and Dick Johnson was on a stakeout just south of Boston.

That was one for the book, and that's a fact.

It was hotter than two Julys wrapped up in an August.

We were working feists, and... Jim, we got a backup 75.

Got to go, George.

It'll keep.

Tell you about it later.

You

think

there's anything to it?

Vegas bust in L.A., and that's a fact? Yeah.

Anarchists don't think so.

George just likes to talk.

Trouble is, he never learned how to talk to civilians.

You might be right.

Comes from being a cop too long. Pretty soon the only people you know are cops.

Pete, guy by the station wagon.

I sure am glad to see you. Stay right where you are. Chains on top of your

head. You see, I lost my keys. I have an important appointment.

Let me see your driver's license.

This is all a mistake.

Yes, sir, I'm sure it is.

I don't have my driver's license.

This isn't your car, is it?

No. Do you have any other ID?

Yeah.

This your name? Harold D. Tanner?

Yes.

I'll be right back.

You gonna... You gonna put me in jail?

Maybe. Well, look, I've never done anything like this before.

What can I do? Ain't nobody wants to hire me, not even for odd jobs. I just

gotta get home.

Where's that?

Missouri.

Joplin. You know it?

No, I don't.

If I could just get home, my son's got a job for me. He has a cabinet shop. He

does real good work.

He sent me bus fare, but I lost it.

Having troubles, officer?

We caught him trying to break into this car.

Doesn't seem to have done much damage.

Does the car belong to you?

It belongs to the church. I drive it.

I sure am sorry, Reverend.

Like I told him, I've never done anything like this before, and I

wouldn't have if...

If I wasn't desperate, I just gotta get enough money to get back home to Joplin.

There's no harm done.

Couldn't you let him go?

Cuff him.

He didn't steal anything.

He would have.

I could forgive him. He's... he's an old man.

Put three warrants out on him for grand theft auto.

Let's go.

1 Adam 12 requesting code 7 to Alvarado and Westlake.

Get out!

Run, lecher!

Your sins will catch you!

Please make her stop.

All right, now wait just a minute. What's the problem here?

Arrest him. I'm only trying to help, and I don't want to be incarcerated.

Oh, you should be, you dirty old man.

All right, now do you want to just settle down and tell us what the problem

is? There's no problem. You'll get your turn in a minute. Go ahead, ma'am.

He made indecent proposals.

Oh, don't go making goo-goo eyes at them.

You're on his side, aren't you?

Oh, you're all alike.

That's all you think about.

Well, I'm a Christian woman, and I won't have it.

I won't spend another night in that place.

My son is coming to pick me up.

He has a lovely home and a beautiful family.

And... and a rose garden.

He's an important man, and we'll just see what he has to say about this.

That's my property, I believe.

There's some nice hot tea in the kitchen, Mrs. Baker.

I won't spend another night under the same roof with that man.

I'm very sorry, Mr. Morton.

This is all a bat.

Well, Mrs. Baker has to leave today.

She's being evicted.

I'm only the manager, Mr. Morton. I have to follow the rules.

Yes, and put her out in the street.

She said her son was coming.

What can I do?

Just follow the rules.

I don't make the rules.

I'm sorry to have caused you gentlemen any inconvenience.

It's no trouble.

She's a proud old woman.

What was this about an indecent proposal?

She has no money, no place to go.

I offered to share my room.

At my age, I'm afraid, that is far from being an indecent proposal.

Let's go in.

How about a hot pastrami?

You've got to be kidding.

No. Coleslaw? Russian dressing?

Pickle? You don't know what you're missing?

Yes, I do.

Heartburn.

Mrs. Baker's out by the car.

Something?

She's breaking out the windshield.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Why did you do that?

That's my business.

It's our business now.

I can't stay there another night.

I thought your son was coming to pick you up.

I decided not to go.

Yes, ma'am.

Then, uh, where were you going?

We're in the back seat.

Is his car handle about the same as yours, though? Yeah, it's okay.

I guess Mrs. Baker got what she wanted, a place to stay.

Yeah. Well, maybe they'll drop the charges against her if her son pays for

the windshield.

Too bad he wasn't that responsible this morning.

Let's go check the park.

It's 1 Adam 12, show us code 6 at Echo Park. Park check.

1 Adam 12, roger.

How many people do you figure live in this part of town?

200,000.

How many of them are over 65?

What are you doing, taking a survey?

I was just thinking.

There's got to be a lot.

You never see any old people out after dark.

They stay inside.

Yeah.

Incarcerated.

He's a thief.

Always has been, always will be. Say what you want, but it is my money. All

right, settle down. Don't listen to any of his life.

He's a born liar. If he was in his grave, he would say he was alive.

You have a big mouth and a very small brain.

All right, let's go. Come on.

Now, quietly.

He steal my money, but I took it back.

How much?

Five dollars, my blood money.

Blood bank?

Yes, that's why I didn't beat him to a pulp. Giving the blood makes you weak,

you know?

One pint I give, five dollars.

And him, he gets seven dollars. He has negative.

They pay more. And how he lords it.

How'd he steal your money?

To share a room?

Never. It fell from my pocket when I was sitting in the bench in my place where I

always sit.

I was going to buy some things to fit the purse.

I reached in my pocket for the dime, and when I took my hat out, the money fell,

and he picked it up. Just like that.

And said it was his, but it's mine. My blood money.

Did anybody see you drop it?

I asked, but nobody saw.

These old people, they can't see anyway.

Except him.

He is fine.

Good enough to cheat at binoculars and steal my blood money.

Listen, you wait here. I'm going to talk to my partner.

Claims he dropped a $5 bill and picked it up and the other guy started yelling

about being robbed.

He says he dropped it.

Sold a pint of his blood for it.

That's what my guy says.

All right, come here, both of you.

Roll up your sleeves.

Roll up your sleeves.

The other one.

Okay, now stay out of trouble and no more fighting. You understand?

Okay, separate and move along.

But that's our bench. I'll be here when you get back.

Let's go. We'll never get lunch.

Gracias, oficiales, por salvar a mi niño.

¿Cómo se llama usted, señor?

María López me llamo.

¿Dónde vive?

521 Alvarado.

Ay, pobrecito.

Vamos a casa.

How's that?

I'm impressed.

Those Spanish lessons are paying off. Yeah.

How about the Code 7 we didn't get? Okay, but no pastrami.

What about Japanese?

Jada's?

It's too ritzy for you. We should clear it.

It's 1 Adam 12 clear, requesting Code 7 at the intersection of Vermont and

Normandy.

You want to try the sushi? I heard it's pretty good.

That looks like the dude from the cemetery.

I don't think he's looking for a place to pray.

May I help you? We thought we saw a suspect come in here. A young guy in a

red plaid shirt.

Purse snatch.

That's one of our major problems here.

During the evening services, we had to hire guards.

Off-duty policemen.

It's a shame, isn't it?

But then, when hasn't the devil been at our very gates?

Can't remember.

Thank you.

Good luck to you.

What do you want to do?

How about that?

Strawberry Fox still moves pretty good.

All right, let's go.

How do you feel now?

Fine.

Sure you don't want me to drive?

You'll get your chance to drive tomorrow. I've got court.

What on?

The model that was speeding with her hand out the window drying her nails.

Yeah.

All units in the vicinity in 1atom 12.

A 2-11 in progress at the cocktail lounge, 2234 West 6th.

1atom 12, handle code 3.

1atom 12, roger.

My partner chased him out the back. Go through the hotel.

One x-ray 14 and foot pursue the subject.

Hold

it

right there.

Trouble with you young fellas, you don't have enough experience.

You gotta look up, remember that. A lot of cops get killed because they don't

look up, and that's a fact. We'll bring that up at roll call, George. Yeah, you

ought to do that.

Anything new on that narcotics deal?

No.

Man gets lonely, you know. He likes to talk.

I mean, I've been a cop all my life. Who else can I talk to?

You want to know what's worse than getting old?

Outliving your friends.

See you later, George.

Yeah.

Don't worry, Pete.

You won't end up like George. You sure?

Yeah, I'm sure.

I can see you now.

Some nice old people's home.

Black and white wheelchair, red lights and siren.

Chasing nurses.

Thank you.
