- What do you know? - When he gets to his house,

Woody Lane's gonna waste him.

[Tires Screech] Hold it! Stop or you're dead!

Police got Lane this morning. I want you to handle it.

Case dismissed. Lane's back on the street again, free.

Up against that wall.

[Man] Sorry, but I have to know what happened here, Lieutenant.

What girl? Who is this?

My God. It's a baby.

Missed you. ? Waited just to love you ?

[Applause]

Different broad every night. I don't know how he does it.

All you need is to own a place like this and have a little bread.

Your singer's very good, Lou.

[Chuckles] Well, I guess, if you like that type of music.

Oh, I forgot.

You're a great connoisseur of great music...

Brahms, Bach, Beethoven.

Uh, wrong order. Beethoven first.

Have you ever, uh, heard his Ninth?

No. Well, you will tonight.

At my place. It's called The Chorale.

Oh. We're gonna get all cultured up tonight. [Laughs]

Well, culture and force, my old man used to say.

That's what makes great civilizations and great men.

Aha, touch�.

Hey, Sonny, wanna go get a taste to eat, man?

No. No. I'm busy. But, uh, I'll catch your act tomorrow.

See you later. Take it easy.

Hello, Sonny Boyer.

What are you, uh... What's going on?

Hey, man, cool it!

[Man #2] Call the cops! The guy's off his nut!

What's going on?

[Siren Wailing]

All right, hold it! Hold it right there!

Up against that wall.

Hands up. Get 'em up! Higher. Freeze. Don't move.

All right, where's your I.D.?

It's, uh, in my hip pocket.

I'm sorry, but I have to know what happened here, Lieutenant.

We just got this film from S.I.D.

Are you comfy, Pep?

No. But go ahead, Joe. I want to get home.

[Joe] That's Larry Coleman. This film was shot from a moving van.

Oh, boo. I thought you were gonna show home movies of me and my family on vacation.

- Will you guys roll the film? - Yes, ma'am.

[Joe] Okay, Larry Coleman, local syndicate boss.

Promoted by the capos. Which brings us to the contenders to take his place.

Artie Lasky...

Extortion, manslaughter, and all charges dismissed.

Served six months... assault and battery on a street lady.

- Mmm, nice man. - Yeah, a real prince.

[Joe] Now here we have Charlie Piccone.

Of the three, he's a lightweight,

and up until now, he was just a hanger-on with some of the local crooks.

Controlled the numbers on the Southside...

and used to be one of the biggest fences in the state.

Unless, of course, I'm telling you something you already know.

- I'm still learnin'. - Some of it's new to me, Joe.

We got dirty movies? Hi, Bill.

Lou Gerard... Younger but a comer...

and has the blessings of the young blood in the syndicate.

A few brushes with the law. Relatively unmarked.

He's tough, ambitious...

and very, very smart.

He runs the Club Flora. It's a ritzy joint.

Oh? When are you gonna take me, Bill?

When they lower the prices.

Well, what's the contest, boys? It's got to be the butler.

- Gerard. - "Why?" he asks.

Well, as you said, Joe, he's the smartest, he's the toughest,

and the word is out he's hungry for a promotion.

- I mean, that I know. - Yeah, well, you might know it, but Coleman doesn't know it.

He's back east, but he's still trying to get support from the brotherhood...

to move out here and take over the southern

half of the state, instead of just the city.

Oh? When do we get the early returns from Vermont and New Hampshire?

I don't think this one's gonna be settled by that old red, white and blue method.

No, this'll be more like black and blue.

Mmm. [Bill] Come on, Pep. Let's go.

Now you can run the good stuff. Dirty movies!

Hey, where are we going?

We are going to the hospital to visit Rose Hess. Remember?

But I wanted to go home and change first.

Honey, she's not gonna write a nasty note to Harper's Bazaar.

You're anxious to meet her. She's anxious to meet you. I know.

What difference does it make what you got on? Besides, I'm low on gas.

Ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha.

Will John be there? Yeah. I just talked to him.

Is he okay now? I mean, he took her illness, that operation, pretty hard.

I thought a couple times there he was gonna crack.

Honey, for a year it looked like his wife was not gonna make it.

But she's okay, and now he's in great shape.

[Laughing] [Bill] Wait a minute. That's not the punch line.

[Laughing] So... So... Wait a minute. So the kid...

So the kid leans over, and he says to the lawyer,

"You keep doin' that, ma'am, and we're gonna lose this case."

- That's the punch line. - Oh, Billy.

- [Laughing] - Oh, move over, Don Rickles.

- But not too far. - Right.

That's a funny story.

Bill, don't make me laugh. It hurts.

We kicked him outta Homicide because of jokes like that.

- Right after they kicked me out of Internal Affairs. - That's right.

Anyway, guess who gives me all my material. Only the clean stuff.

Oh, is that right? Tell them the one you told me about the camel and...

Oh, Bill, stop it! You're terrible!

She's probably just having car trouble. Your daughter'll be here.

I'm not worried about her, honey.

Bill tells me she sang with a rock group for a while.

Not anymore, Pepper. She got that out of her system. I can't say I'm sad.

? Hey, have you ever tried ?

? Really reaching out for the other side ?

? I may be climbing on rainbows ?

? But, baby, here goes ?

? Dreams, they're for those who sleep ?

? Life is for us to keep ?

? And if you're wondering what this song ?

? Is leading to ?

? I wanna make it with you ?

Mr. Gerard, telephone. It's Mr. Lane.

He said it's urgent. I put it in your office.

?? [Continues, Indistinct]

? No, you don't know me well ?

? And every little thing only time will tell ?

?? [Continues, Indistinct]

Yeah, Woody, what's up?

I just got a call from New York City.

It seems Mr. Coleman has decided he doesn't like the weather or the business.

- He's coming back? - He's flying back tomorrow.

His plane lands about a quarter of 12:00.

[Gerard] Word from my associates back east is to dump him.

Now, how, I leave up to you.

[Lane] All right. [Line Disconnects]

What do you say, kid? Wanna get this show on the road? Yeah.

Hey, come on, Billy. It's not time.

It'll give you two a chance to be alone.

Now that we got rid of him...

You look terrific, honey.

Thanks, Bill.

I'll take you out dancing when you get outta here.

Bye-bye, Rose. Good-bye, Pepper.

I heard so much about you from John and the boys.

Uh-oh. Nothing but the loveliest things.

They were right. Thank you.

Well, we'll get together later.

Bye-bye. Bye.

Pepper, keep an eye out for this guy, will you? Oh, you know it.

Thanks for dropping by. Sure.

Good night, honey. So long, Billy. So long.

Don Rickles. [Laughing]

Hey, you know, they look good together. Mm-hmm.

How about you? Tired, hon? A little.

Yeah. Except for these dumb eyes.

Hmm? I keep wanting to look at that handsome cop.

You want me to climb in there and get in trouble? [Laughs]

I feel so good, I think I'll buy you something to eat.

Oh, another bad joke.

No, I hear there's a pretty good coffee shop downstairs.

Or maybe you'd rather buy me another bowl of chili.

You know, that great place where you stand up and eat?

You got a better way? [Laughs]

[Woman On P.A.] Sergeant Pepper Anderson,

phone call at the fifth floor nurses' station.

I'll be right back.

If that's Telly Savalas, ask him for one of his lollipops.

[Woman On P.A.] Dr. Hyde, outside call.

Uncle Bill. [Laughs]

Donna? Donna.

Hi, honey. Hey, look at you! [Laughs]

You look terrific. Thank you.

Now that you're this tall, you can stop calling me Uncle Bill.

What do you say? Right. I'll call you Bill.

I just saw your mother. She looks great too. I know. Thank God.

We were so worried about her.

Yeah. Open-heart surgery is...

Yeah, I know. She's gonna be fine. Yeah.

You know what I missed? What?

I miss your singing. Remember when you were about that high?

? Once I had a secret love ?

I've given all that up now, Bill.

My big career is just a thing of the past.

Listen, it was really good to see you. I better go, 'cause it's late, you know.

Bye-bye. Good to see you. Bye-bye. Okay.

Hey, and stop growing, will you? Okay.

I'm going to visit my mother. Bye.

[Woman On P.A.] Dr. Randall, please call the operator. Dr. Randall.

That was the office. One of my contacts wants to see me tomorrow.

[Elevator Bell Dings]

Beautiful girl. Can't leave you alone for a second.

[Seagulls Squawking]

Hi, Trudy. Hi.

What ya got? I've got some good information.

Worth a lot.

Well, let's hear what it is, and then we'll establish a price.

I don't want money for it. Come on.

If it's about your guy, I've told you... He's a two-time loser.

I just can't go to the D.A. and say, "Take it easy on him."

You could... with the right information.

The D.A. would buy it. Like Lou Gerard.

Lou Gerard? What do you know about him?

Coleman's flying back from the east today.

When he gets to his house, Woody Lane's gonna waste him.

Are you sure about this?

And it's scheduled to arrive on time?

Oh, give me that flight number again, will you?

Thanks very much.

Got it.

What do you know about that?

Excuse me, honey.

12-Y-50 to 12-Y-52.

52. Go, 50.

Yeah, Joe, this is Bill.

Airport Intelligence reports that Larry Coleman just arrived from New York.

Word's out they're gonna waste him. I'd like to say just lay back and watch,

but you'd better get over to his place and check things out.

- How long will it take you to get there? - Approximately five minutes.

[Bill On Radio] Good.

[Motor Whirring]

[Lane] Lou Gerard asked me to stop by.

[Gunshots]

[Tires Screech] Hold it! Stop or you're dead!

[Joe] Police officers! Freeze!

Drop it or you're a dead man! Get off there, man!

Hey, what's goin' on? Huh? I've got my rights.

Come on, Crowley. Come on! You got nothin' on me.

No, man. Come on, Lane. You come on.

Now, you've gotta stop kiddin' yourself, man.

This is like taking a trip to fantasyland. What do you want from me?

If your lawyer were here, I'd say a confession!

My lawyer's gonna be here. Oh, yeah. He's gonna take you apart, old buddy.

Oh, your lawyer's gonna take me apart, huh? That's it.

Man, this fantasy trip builds and builds for you, doesn't it?

Look, I told those two creeps of yours. Now I'm telling you.

I didn't kill him I didn't shoot him. That's it.

Coleman shot himself, even though he didn't have a gun.

I told you... Somebody else shot him. Somebody behind me.

Somebody on the other side of the house. How many times I gotta tell you?

Well, why don't you tell me again, Lane? Now, what were you doing there?

Where? At the house? At the house.

He owed me some money, some heavy bread.

Why didn't you get on the phone and call him?

It needed my personal attention.

Oh, I see. It needed your personal attention.

You knew Coleman was coming in, didn't you?

Yeah, I knew Coleman was coming in.

- I mean, it was no big secret. - Who told you? Lou Gerard?

No.

You drove to his house, Lane. You had a gun on you.

I had a gun. I got a license to carry a gun.

You know, there's a lot of muggers in this city, and you know what they say.

When you want a cop... Don't get cute with me.

Well, I'm telling the truth. Well, I said it. Don't get cute with me.

Man, you had a gun on you. You dusted Coleman with that gun.

We got that gun, and my two men wrestled it away from you, and we got it.

And right now... right now... it's on its way upstairs to Ballistics.

Ballistics, man. You know what that means? You're a smart fella.

Ballistics is where they're gonna test it...

and prove that that's the gun that wasted Coleman.

Now you tell that to your lawyer when he gets there.

Hey, Pep, he's gonna roll over.

Oh, fabulous.

It'll take a little while, but he's gonna help us nail Gerard.

Fantastic. Where are the guys?

One guess. Vinnie's.

Some cops are sure smart.

[Knocking] Come in.

Lou. Well, you look good.

I like your tux. Black, the way it should be.

Sit down.

I think you oughta get a new secretary, Albin.

I like my messages delivered on the spot.

She left the message with my wife.

My wife was busy with this party tonight.

Oh. Your son's birthday. What'd you get him?

What he wanted... A jazzy sports car.

Kids today. [Chuckles]

When I was a kid, I couldn't even promote a bicycle.

My family had any dough, went for piano lessons.

Well, it looks like I'm treating you and yours pretty good, counselor.

- Have I complained? - The police got Lane this morning.

- For what? - Coleman's been shot.

Dead. I want you to handle it.

- How'd they get Lane? - Cold.

[Chuckles] Things don't look too good then, do they?

They're gonna look a lot better, counselor, after you've had a talk with him.

And I want you to give him a little message from me, hmm?

I was just going over Gerard's file.

He sure runs around with a lot of bad characters.

[Sighs]

Woody Lane clammed up.

What happened?

Well, Gerard sent over his attorney. They had a little talk.

Now Woody just sits there with a big smile on his face.

Sergeant, you are an expert in the field of ballistics, correct?

I am.

Now you testified a little while earlier in this hearing...

that the bullets found in Mr. Coleman's body...

were fired by this weapon, Exhibit "A,"

which two police officers allegedly found in my client's possession.

Correct? That's right.

All of your expertise,

all of your testimony about marks from the extractor,

the indentation of the firing pin, grooves made on the bullets...

by the rifling in the pistol barrel,

et cetera, et cetera, would vouch for that.

True? That's right.

Sergeant Bingham, what would you say if I were to tell you...

that I am prepared right now to introduce to this court...

three... three other witnesses who will help me to prove...

that, all of your expertise notwithstanding,

that the weapon in question... This gun, Exhibit "A"...

Was not the weapon which fired the fatal bullets?

If I can prove to this court that the bullets which murdered the deceased...

came from another gun... An unknown gun...

That the barrel markings are all quite different...

from these comparison photographs,

and the testimony which you have so carefully

prepared and presented to this court,

what would you say?

The witness will answer the question.

I'd say there's no doubt in my mind...

that this weapon fired the bullet that killed Larry Coleman.

- No doubt in your mind? - No, sir.

Thank you.

I have no further questions. The witness may step down.

Does the assistant district attorney have any further witnesses?

No, Your Honor, I do not.

Very well. Mr. Albin, you may call your first witness.

Yes, Your Honor. As you know, I presented the police department...

with a subpoena duces tecum,

and we were allowed to conduct our own ballistic tests...

in the presence of Sergeant Bingham.

My next witness will now produce the results of those tests.

I call Lieutenant Fred Rowe to the stand.

Who's he?

He used to be with the Sacramento Police Department.

Ballistics man.

Case dismissed! Lane's back on the street again, free.

Gerard's running things, free, with our blessings!

There's people out there on that street splitting their sides laughing at us.

At the D.A. Captain, you asked to see me.

Your men... Styles, Royster and Bingham...

Were notified this morning that they are temporarily suspended from duty.

Contact Anderson. Tell her that she... and you...

are helping us work an investigation.

Why us? Because you're a special unit that answers to the top,

so you've gotta help us clean your own house.

Now, you check with me before you make a move, but you've got 72 hours.

The chief wants some action on this and fast.

Are you asking us to shoefly our own people?

And Bingham too. Telephone him.

Tell him I want to see him here in my office in half an hour.

Now look, Crowley, I am not asking you. I am telling you.

This is what Internal Affairs is all about.

Now it may be lousy duty, but this is the way it's gotta go down.

[Chuckles] For cryin' out loud, you were weaned here.

- Is that it? - Yeah, that's it.

Cop spyin' against cop. Makes me wanna throw up.

Joe and Pete? Suspects?

Oh, no, these are cops. And I'm telling you... I am no headhunter.

You're a cop, honey. You think I like it any better than you do?

Hello, Billy. Hello, John.

How's Rose? Just great. Glad to be home, of course.

I sneak off a little early, spend some time with her.

Hey, look. I just heard about Styles and Royster.

The word sure takes a long time to get around, doesn't it?

Well, yeah, but...

[Door Opens]

Hello, Bingham. Captain.

Get you some coffee? No, thanks.

How's your wife?

What am I supposed to say? "She's fine. Never felt better?"

Now you know why you're here. Yeah, now I know.

[Knocks] Crowley, come in.

Ready, Paul?

What... are you helping Internal Affairs now? See that they put me away?

Oh, come on. You know better than that.

Nobody's putting anybody away. We're just trying to get to the bottom of this.

Now what do you make about what's happened? Aside from the fact it's insane?

Would you mind keeping your voice down and answering my question?

- It wasn't the right gun. - It wasn't yesterday in that courtroom.

But look, Captain, the word "right" is strictly relative here.

It was the same gun I tested with the same serial number.

I don't know what we're pussyfootin' around about.

It's obvious somebody changed the barrel. It's as simple as that, right?

"That simple" is right. That gun's an imported number.

The parts, including the barrel, had no serial numbers attached.

Somebody pulled the switch between the time I made my test,

and Albin got his three guys to make theirs.

So naturally it was me. Nobody's saying it was you.

Yeah, but me, Styles and Royster...

All of a sudden, we got a lot of time on our hands.

That gun never left this building until the day it was exhibit in court.

Let's face it. Gerard got to a cop...

who got hold of a key and made the switch.

Right? So find that cop. But get off my back!

Joe and Pete...

They're really pretty upset about this whole thing, aren't they?

Yeah, I know. But not for long.

Wanna go for a pony ride? [Cooing]

You like that? Giddyap. Giddyap.

Boy, you're getting heavy... and really beautiful.

I don't buy it.

You mean to tell me all of a sudden one of us got a key?

Or maybe the both of us got a pair of keys? Are you kiddin'?

- It's Batman and Robin on a caper. - Hey, man, that's not funny.

Yeah, I know what you're sayin'. You know, it really ain't funny, Bill.

I mean, this whole mess is really a drag.

Yeah, I know. [Joe] You know it's a drag? Then why?

They think that scum Gerard got to one of us to free his creep?

'Cause that's what they gotta be thinkin'. Why else, Bill?

Huh? You know that too?

Wait a minute. Remember me? I'm on your side. I mean, why am I even sayin' that?

'Cause you've gotta say it for me.

All of a sudden, out of the clear blue sky, things start to happen.

Things that could put Pete away, me away.

Yeah, man, you've gotta say it.

?? [Chiming]

Are you onto anything at all, Bill?

No. ?? [Chimes]

Joe, listen to me.

Pepper and me are on this thing. That's gonna work out. Believe me.

First thing in the morning, we're moving in on Gerard...

His house, his club, who's been goin' in,

who he's been meetin' with, which cops, which cop.

In the meantime, just trust me, will you?

Will you trust me?

Sergeant Pepper Anderson.

Can we do something for you, Sergeant?

I'm Tony Beldon. This is Ned Levering. Ned. Tony.

I understand you fellows have been on night duty the past couple of months.

Right. Does your beat happen to include Club Flora?

Sure. I'd like to ask you a few questions.

Can we sit in your car for a minute? Of course.

Hey, you'd better check the roast in there.

Oh, it's all right. It's not going to be ready for an hour yet.

Where's Donna? I don't know.

Well, did she call? No.

Honey, are you all right?

Yeah. What do you mean? Sure.

Hess? Johnny Hess.

[Phone Ringing]

What do you mean, it could have been Hess?

Just because he got in a fight with some singer?

Outside Gerard's club. And Gerard watched it...

until our boys stopped it.

Bill, I don't like it any better than you, but we've gotta check it out.

They file an incident report on it? They filed it, with copies.

Put it on Captain Mendoza's desk the next morning.

And when I checked with him, he never saw it.

And there was no copy of any incident report in Hess's package.

[Phone Rings]

Sergeant Crowley. Yeah, just a minute.

I'm gonna check in with Peters. It's for you.

Oh. Sergeant Anderson.

Uh, this girl you know... She wanted me to phone ya.

What girl? Who is this?

Well, uh, my name would mean nothin'.

But her name's Trudy... Trudy Marks. Do you know her?

Yes, I know her.

Well, I'm kind of a Good Samaritan when it comes to somethin' like this.

I mean, I seen her in a culvert, hurt.

- I mean, badly beaten, you know? - Where is she?

Sergeant Anderson? Yes.

Oh, yeah. Where is she?

She's right under the bridge there... Down there?

But I didn't have nothin' to do... I'm just

reporting it. Wait here for the ambulance.

Wait here? Yes, ma'am... I mean, Sergeant. Wait right here.

Trudy, what happened?

Oh, my God! Your face.

Gerard... He caught me trying to call you.

They don't like people who talk to cops,

and so they worked me over as a reminder.

- An ambulance is on the way. - No, I just wanna talk to you.

To tell you... Tell me what?

Don't give up... on the D.A., on my guy.

Promise me? Please?

All right, I promise.

I also promise to get you to a hospital.

See the girl on this cover? That's Donna Hess.

So what?

You two worked together. She sang in your group. What do you want from me?

I want to know why you and her old man fought.

I want to know what she had to do with it.

She didn't have anything to do with it!

Are you gonna get outta here and leave me alone?

This isn't Los Angeles. I don't have to talk to you.

What happens if you talk to me, Boyer?

Does Gerard find you another job someplace?

He doesn't have anything to do with this!

Listen, Boyer, I think I better explain the facts of life to you.

When I get to the bottom of this... and I will...

I guarantee you that Gerard is gonna be sore.

He's gonna be real sore.

And between now and the time it takes me to shove him in jail,

he's gonna order a little action through his local connections here.

Now I would suggest to you, unless you want to end up as a hot dog,

that you get your tail outta here as fast and as far as you can.

I mean, if I were you,

I'd start looking for me someplace nice and safe to sing...

Like Guam, maybe.

[Door Opens, Closes]

Pep?

[Phone Ringing]

Pick a card. They got lousy food in Vegas.

Oh, you ate in a bus station again.

Did you get a line on Donna Hess? She's not around today.

What does that mean, "She's not around today"?

If you lost at blackjack, don't take it out on me. Come on, Pep.

I had a lousy flight. What does it mean? She's with a church group.

They took a bunch of kids to San Diego to the zoo.

She won't be back till later. I can't help it.

If you think you can tear yourself away from that, we've got some work to do.

[Phone Ringing] Wait! Wait for me!

This is the part I hate, Bill. Yeah, I know.

Something's really wrong, Pepper.

Since I came back from the hospital, John... He's like a different person.

He's drinking too much, not eating right.

Spends half the evening just sitting, staring at the TV.

Then he goes off to bed.

I began to think it was all my fault.

You know, after an operation like mine,

with all the tension and all the bills,

people tend to pull away from you.

God forgive me, I began to think I was spoiling everything.

Like last Saturday... It was a beautiful day, remember?

So I said to John, "Why don't we take a drive up to the cabin?"

He built it all by himself. It's up on Rainbow Beach.

Anyway, he said, "No, it's too long."

So I said, "Well, why don't you go by yourself?"

I guess I pushed him.

He finally said, "I don't want to see the damn cabin! Not anymore!"

So I said, "Well, why don't you sell it?"

He said, "It's not for sale."

There have been so many days like that.

Oh, Pepper, I'm so confused.

There's a cabin... Rainbow Beach. I think we should go take a look.

See if one of them's open.

[Pepper] Bill, what is it?

My God! It's a baby.

That station down the road... Why don't you go phone in?

Right.

It's out of order, miss.

You got a phone in the office? Where are you callin' to?

The city. Boss wouldn't like that.

Well, I'm a police officer. I can't get through on my car radio.

This place is really crawlin' with cops today. Yeah?

Trooper had a flat. Lieutenant Hess was just here.

Filled up his tank and then he shot out like a rocket. Towards his cabin?

No, no, no. The other way. Towards the beach, on the bluff.

Okay, thanks. Sure.

John?

Pepper, what are you doin' here?

- I could ask that. - You thought I was gonna jump?

What would you think... in my place?

Pepper pot, I may not be such a good cop,

but I'm still a good Catholic.

Suicide's not in my book.

I kinda came up here to sort some things out.

And?

[Clears Throat] Donna wanted to get an abortion.

But the doctor told her she was too far gone.

So she called me.

I told her that...

I thought the boy would marry her.

You know, I mean... I mean, in my day...

[Stammers]

So she said he wouldn't,

and I told her I would handle it.

I'd fix it. [Clears Throat]

It was so obvious... We had to be careful not to tell her mother.

You know, I mean, Rose was so sick.

I mean, she was... Oh, Bill, you know that. [Sniffling]

Anyway, there's a... there's a little clinic down the beach...

that, uh, I brought her to,

and, uh, I had her checked in.

She was supposed to be gone for a couple of months, singing with the group.

Well, she was here. I mean, she was... She stayed here the whole time.

[Clears Throat] I visited her, and then one day,

she went into labor, you know?

She had the, uh...

She had the baby prematurely.

She called this guy on the phone.

She begged him to come over here,

and he said he wanted her to leave him alone.

So then she called me.

When I got down here,

she was unconscious,

laying on the floor.

The baby was dead.

[Sniffles] When she came out of it, she was... she was afraid.

- Afraid of what, John? - She was afraid that she'd killed the baby...

and that somehow... she'd dropped it on purpose.

I said, "You have to think of yourself now and your mother."

[Sighs] We buried the little girl.

A couple of nights later, I found Sonny Boyer, and I got him.

Gerard found out about it... and why,

and later he used it, blackmailing you, right?

He said it was simple, you know?

Just break down the piece, switch barrels.

I couldn't believe he'd call me that...

And then he said he was gonna phone Rose...

and tell her all about it, you see?

He said he'd telegram her every day.

He'd remind her what happened, you know?

That'd kill her. I did it.

Okay, John, it's done.

You had a choice to make, so you crawled into bed with some crooks.

Let me tell you something, John. You're still a cop.

And, damn it, your first obligation is to help us put these guys behind bars.

Now you've hung three good men out to dry.

It's time you climbed down out of that bed and squared yourself away with them.

Now come on. What do you say? Yeah.

John, whatever is gonna happen will happen,

but no one is gonna condemn a man for protecting the people he loves.

Nobody.

Let's go. Look, I'll follow you. Follow you down, man.

Uh, I think Pep better ride with you.

What's the matter? Don't you trust me?

All right. Come on, Pep.

Let's go.

Bill, he's not behind us. Where'd he go?

He went to get Lou Gerard.

[Bill] 12-Y-50 to 12-Y-90 and all units.

Request backup units at Lou Gerard's Club Flora.

?? [Piano: "Moonlight Sonata"]

Hello, Lieutenant. Sorry, but the bar's closed this time of the afternoon.

What are you doing here? You did a job, and you did it real fine.

Yeah. Made you happy too, huh, Gerard?

- Very happy. - Well, I'm sorry about that.

I've had a change of heart.

I've got one last man to book, Gerard, and it's you. Get up.

[Gerard] Book me? On what?

On getting you to do what you did?

I said let's go. Now get your hands behind your back.

[Gunshots] Freeze, turkey! Drop that gun easy,

and get your hands on top of your head.

[Groaning]

So that's what I have to tell a judge...

and the jury...

and help them put Gerard away... and Lane.

Oh, of course.

Of course. And you know what happens to me.

I'm what happens to you. Like always.

Mm-hmm.

Daddy, I'm so sorry.

Oh, toots, no, no, no. Come on. Forget it now.

You're the one that went through real hell.

Hey, I feel like eatin' Chinese.

You feel like eatin' Chinese? Great idea.

Look what I found holed up in a health food store.

Anybody home? Pete.

Hello. Oh, welcome back aboard.

Thank you very much. It's good to be back. Great to have you back.

For you. Me?

Yeah. Thank you.

Listen, I just got some more good news, about Donna Hess.

The coroner's preliminary report indicates...

that the baby suffered no fractures or spinal misalignment...

and probably died of natural causes.

Isn't that terrific? Oh, thank God.

Is Bingham back? No, but he's due back any minute.

Well, hello, group.

Hey, look what the cat drug in. Oh, welcome back.

Hey, how's it goin', man? All right.

I brought him in to you personally, just to make sure he gets out of the house.

Yeah, they're tired of me playin' Sherlock Holmes with the TV.

Welcome back, Joe. How are the kids? I'll have a little of that.

Driving the babysitter bananas. Yeah.

Well, now that you're a rich man again,

I guess I can go out and do myself some heavy shopping, huh?

No. Be comfortable with that dollar. [All Laughing]
