1 Adam 12, 1 Adam 12, a 211 in progress.

1 Adam 12, handle code 3.

Son of a gun, if it isn't my old buddy.

Why don't we step up on the sidewalk?

You still pulling for the Rams, Malloy? When'd you hit the streets, Reno?

Oh, about six weeks ago.

Carrying a tail?

No way, Malloy, I did it all.

Four years, 11 months, and 19 days. I walked out with a full receipt.

Hey, you got yourself a new partner.

Let me see your license.

Jim, run the car.

Oh, come on, Malloy, you know me better than that. I never had a hot set of

wheels in my life.

Temporary, huh? Yeah.

You see, my old one expired exactly three years and two months ago.

I'm citing you for failure to yield to oncoming traffic.

You're a real sport, Malloy.

You ever give anybody a break? Only when they deserve it.

Registered and legal owners are Raynald M. Wesson, 1421 West Fulton. Well,

you're doing pretty well for yourself, Reno. Out of the joint six weeks and

driving a brand new set of paid-up wheels.

So I don't like making payments. Is that a crime?

You going to be around for a while or are you planning to leave us?

I might leave as soon as I get pumped up a little. You know, prices have really

gone up in the past five years and I'm not holding too heavy.

If you haven't changed your act, we may be able to arrange it for you so you

don't have to worry about inflation.

What do you mean change my act?

I've always been straight.

Sign here.

See you in court, Malloy.

Don't be late. Be my guest.

What was that all about?

Reynold Miles Wesson, a.k.a. Reno West.

One of the better burglars around and a real odd dog.

Always rips off big pads.

Usually has the stuff sold before he steals it.

Sharp dresser, never looks out of place.

Looks like a good looking set of wheels he was driving.

Yeah, but Reno never capers in his own car. Always a rental, always expensive.

Sounds like he puts a lot of thought into making trouble.

He only takes one or two items. You know, the biggest ring, the most

expensive watch, something that'll go in his pocket.

Half the time the owners don't know the stuff is missing until weeks later.

It's a tough M.O.

Yeah, he didn't seem too happy to see you.

I'm the guy that set him up.

I got lucky one night and caught him coming out of a pad in Bel Air with $50

,000 in rare coins in his pocket.

Pete.

This is 1-9-4. We have a 211 in progress at the market.

1559 Glenview. Request a backup.

1X314.

12 shots fired at our location.

Request an ambulance. My partner is in foot pursuit of a 211 suspect.

1 Adam 12, 1 Adam 12, your location.

1 Adam 12 now westbound on Glenview.

We're in Montana and Grant. We have the suspect pinned down in a pedestrian

underpass. All units, one Adam-12 has the suspect pinned down in the

pedestrian underpass.

Montana and Grant.

One Adam-12, meet one L-20 on tack two.

Adam-12 to L-20, go.

What's your situation, Adam-12?

It's a standoff, Mac. We can't go in, he can't come out.

Suspect is armed with a shotgun. Request an ambulance and tear gas. Suspect is

wounded.

You shot a man in the liquor store and fired at both of us. Looks like we're

going to have to do it the hard way.

X-ray 14 just pulled in. They're covering the other side.

Okay, hang tight. My ETA is about five minutes.

Roger, KMA.

Pretty sure you hit him, Pete? Yeah, but I don't know. I bet he's hurt.

Well, he could be playing possum down there.

He was killed once.

The store manager died.

And he's got nothing to lose by blowing up one of us.

Well, if he's been hit and he's scared, it's a pretty bad combination.

Let's try to talk him out one more time.

This is the police.

Now, the tunnel is blocked on both sides.

We know you've been injured.

We have an ambulance out here.

Throw down your shotgun and come out with your hands up.

Can't be more than 19.

Every year they get younger.

One out of 12 clear.

When's Hicks gonna learn to clean this car out after a whole watch? I thought I

smelled something. What is it this time?

Banana peel and a pickle.

Where's that guy go to Code 7, at a street fair?

He's getting better, though. It's been a couple of days since he left the

steering wheel sticky.

Every time we get in this car, it smells like two weeks' worth of dirty laundry.

Say this for Hicks, he doesn't litter the street.

How much are they paying for those things now?

About a half a cent apiece.

Well, if we sold all the cans that Hicks leaves in the car, we'd probably have

enough money to have a cleaning lady come in once a week.

I've been here at least a week.

One Adam 12 requesting wants and DMV on Cal 124 Ocean Charles Ida.

One Adam 12, stand by.

One Adam 12, 124 Ocean Charles Ida is a Hollywood stolen, hold for prints.

Wanted for 2-11.

DR 73682-165.

Roger, and request a tow service in the alley behind 5254 Laurelwood Street.

Fat chance of their getting anything off this. There must be 110 inside there. If

there were any prints, they're oily blobs by now.

One out of 12. One out of 12.

484. It's a public library.

14245 Marquette Street.

The PR will meet you at the checkout desk.

One out of 12. Roger.

Oh, well, I'm afraid you officers are too late.

She's been gone at least 15 minutes.

I'm Officer Malloy, and this is Officer Reed. Can we have your name, please?

Oh, I'm Iris Kelly.

I'm the head day librarian.

What happened, Miss Kelly?

Well, a girl stole a book.

I don't know which one or if it were more than one.

She must have had it in that big purse of hers. It was one of those over-the

-shoulder kind, you know.

Then you didn't actually see the book.

Well, if... Of course not. I just told you. She must have had them in this big

purse over her shoulder.

If you didn't see the books, Miss Kelly, how do you know they were stolen?

Oh. Oh, you... All of our books have a sensitized metal strip in the

binding. You see? So when a person checks out a book, then the metal strip

is desensitized so it won't sound a buzzer when they go through the door.

It's a new system. We just had it put in.

Like they're using in department stores these days, huh?

That's right, officer.

The only difference is that when a person returns the book, then this metal

strip is resensitized. You have no idea how many thousands of valuable books

used to be stolen.

Can you describe the girl, Miss Kelly?

Oh, well, let me see.

She could be 17 or 27.

It's so hard to tell these days.

They all look alike and dress alike.

Oh, it was blue pants and floppy jacket and long straight hair.

Did you try to stop her, Miss Kelly?

Well, of course I did when I heard the buzzer.

But she started screaming at me to let her go, and so she went out.

Tall, short, blonde, brunette?

Oh, sort of blonde.

Tall, skinny type.

Looked more like a boy than a girl.

Well, there isn't much to go on. We'll do what we can.

If you'd been here quicker, she wouldn't have gotten away.

We'll try to do better next time.

Pete.

Oh, that's Mr. West.

A real gentleman.

Does he come here often?

Oh, yes, just about every other day for the past few weeks.

Good morning, Malloy.

Officer Reed.

Nice day, isn't it?

How do you like the way the Rams are shaping up?

Not bad.

Good. And thank you again for your help, Miss Kelly.

I didn't know you knew Mr. West, officers.

Yes, we've met.

Do you happen to know which book he had back there?

Oh, yes. He asked me to help him find it. It was a book on philately.

Mr. West is a stamp collector, huh? Oh, yes. He has a wide variety of interests.

Just the other day, he asked for a volume on jade figurines and antique

ivories.

He even reads the society columns.

I'm sure he does.

Miss Kelly, if you'd just sign here by the X.

If anything develops on those stolen books, we'll get in touch with you.

1 Adam 12, clear. 1 Adam 12, clear.

Stamps, red jades, ivories. Probably got a buyer already lined up. We better

contact burglary.

Costello, code 2.

Officer.

Officer, I'm Bill Porter, the one who called you.

When Helen came over to use our phone, I tried to talk to George, and he shot

through the window. All right, take it easy. Is the lady that's crying his

wife? Yeah.

She's worried half to death over their little girl Donna.

Now, I told her that George loves the little girl, and he wouldn't hurt her

for the world.

Is the little girl still in the house?

Yes.

How old is she?

Eight, nine, I'm not sure.

Okay, Mr. Porter, you go back inside your house and take the women with you.

Officers. You're not going to hurt George, are you? He's really a good man.

We're not going to hurt anybody if we can help it.

Put a call in to a sergeant. I'll see what I can find out from the wife.

What have you got?

Guy's barricaded in the house across the street. The white one with the green

shutters. He's holding his daughter as a hostage.

Try to get around back if you can. Right.

One Adam for requesting a field supervisor meet us on tech to Roger 1l

21 l 20 meet 1 Adam 12 on tax 2 1l 20 go

1 Adam 12 Back we got a guy barricaded in the house. He's holding his daughter

as a hostage at 7 0 1 3 Costello shots fired. We need backup units to seal off

the area

Get back down the street.

He just fired another shot.

Woodson's partner trying to get around back.

There's an ambulance and a SWAT team on the way. Where's Malloy? He's in the

Parker's house here. He's trying to get some information out of the suspect's

wife.

1L20, code 4 at 7013 Costello.

1L20, roger. All units, code 4, 7013 Costello.

If I get many more units here, we'll be shooting at each other.

Seal off the east intersection.

Suspect's name is George Dixon. He's been out of work for about a year. He's

up to his ears in bills.

This morning they repoed the television set. It seems he just sat and stared at

the floor for a couple of hours. Then he flipped his lid and started smashing up

the rest of the furniture.

She ran over to the porters for help and they put the call in.

What about the child?

When she left, the girl was locked in her room, afraid to come out.

Here's a layout of the house.

Two bedrooms, kitchen, living room, bath.

Telephones? Just one in the living room.

Well, we don't want to use gas so we can avoid it, not with a girl in there.

Maybe if we can get around to the side of the house, we can get her out one of

the windows.

It's worth a try.

I'll see if I can talk Dixon to the front of the house when you make your

move.

Hold your position.

Trying to help your daughter, mister.

Thank you.

He had me cold, Mac.

Could have blown me up.

Guess he was more worried about hitting his little girl than you.

At least we don't have to rush things.

Time's on our side.

Mr. Porter, you know Dixon's phone number?

Uh, 255-0799.

Reed, why don't you try calling him? He's seen what you've done for his

daughter.

Miss Dixon, I'm gonna take her inside with me for a minute, okay?

Come on.

This is Officer Reed, Mr. Dixon. I'm the one who got your little girl out the

window. I just want you to know that she's okay.

Yes, she is, sir. She's right here.

Your dad wants to talk to you.

I'm all right, Dad.

Honest. But Mom feels awful bad.

She keeps on crying and crying.

We want you, Dad. Mom and me. We need you. Please, don't make something bad

happen to you.

about the television, Dad. All I want is you and Mama.

Please, Dad.

Please.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

He's coming out.

You won't hurt him, will you?

He's a good dad.

Help him, won't you?

Mommy said you policemen are our friends.

Yes, we'll help.
