One-Adam-12, One-Adam-12,

a 211 in progress.

One-Adam-12, handle code 3.

♪♪

Hey, Reed, who's tailoring your uniforms?

They look great.

Yeah, I had an accident.

I was chasing some kid through every backyard in the Valley.

Don't tell me you're doing double tour tonight.

Yeah, Mac's got some big assignment he wants us to handle.

Hey, you know, there's a beauty pageant going on in West L.A.

Maybe he's got you down for security.

Don't tell that to my partner, all right?

Snider, do me a favor.

Can I borrow your jacket for tonight?

Yeah. Sure.

Did you talk to Mac?

Uh-huh.

Which is it, the B wagon or the beauty pageant?

You know that lady we ticketed right after you tore your uniform?

Yeah, Mrs. Dixon. What about her?

Mac wants us to ride her around.

She wants a tour of the division.

What is she, a reporter or something?

No, no. She's the new lady police commissioner.

Oh, yeah. I read about her in the newspaper.

Gee, that's too bad you hung that ticket on her.

Bet she's sore, isn't she?

She keeps asking about you.

She wants to know the name of the officer

with the torn uniform.

You squared it with her, didn't you?

You told her I was in a foot pursuit, right?

No, I just told her you were the kind of a guy

that didn't really care about your personal appearance.

Thanks, pal.

Our passenger's waiting.

Commissioner Dixon, this is my partner, Officer Reed.

- How do you do? - Fine, ma'am.

You must have been in quite a scuffle, officer.

Your partner told me you were chasing a suspect.

Yes, ma'am, but I lost him.

Well, let's roll.

Thank you.

One-Adam-12, night watch clear.

One-Adam-12, clear.

Would you please fasten your seat belt, Mrs. Dixon?

Thank you.

Do you have a cold, officer? Are you all right?

Oh, no, ma'am, I'm fine.

You know, you really did make an illegal right turn.

And I have the ticket to prove it.

What would you like to see?

Let's just do whatever you normally do.

I want to ride around in the car to get the feel of the work.

Maybe it'll help me to be a more effective commissioner.

I've got a lot to learn since the mayor appointed me.

Why don't we just take a tour of the division,

and hit a couple of the trouble spots.

Trouble spots?

Yes, ma'am. We have some bars in the area

where narcotics users are known to hang out.

We can usually count on quite a few burglaries in the vicinity.

We like to kind of stay close by.

How can you hear your calls with the radio turned so low?

It takes time, but you get used to it.

After a while, you hear it without listening for it.

You kind of get a feel what's going on in the division that way.

For instance, Adam-34 is out on a burglary investigation.

Adam-26 just went code seven.

That's dinnertime, right?

Yes, ma'am.

Adam-45 just got a family dispute call.

You kind of keep one ear tuned to it,

and it doesn't have to really be loud.

You'll get the hang of it before the night's over.

Didn't we just get one then?

No, ma'am, that was Adam-22. We're Adam-12.

One-Adam-12, One-Adam-12, a 311, man at the bar.

14429 Delner Drive. Code two.

- Look, ma'am, maybe with... - I heard it.

Let's go see the naked man.

Okay.

One-Adam-12, roger.

Hi, fellas.

Do you want to park the crate out back?

Might scare some of the customers away.

I got the squirrel penned up back there in the laundry room.

That's Jean Wagner.

Her husband is Joe Don Wagner, the ex-middleweight fighter.

They run this place.

Who's the broad?

I'm with them.

Cop, huh?

Well, why else would you be with them?

Wait till you see this dude.

His name's Fred Tiller.

Hangs around here most of the time sucking up muscatel.

He's old enough to know better.

All of a sudden, tonight, he decides he's Mr. Clean or something.

Starts peeling off his clothes.

Cleared the joint out in 20 seconds.

Ah! Here we are.

Okay, boys, here he is.

The great god Apollo.

Hi.

I have a perfect body.

But then, I should.

I'm Apollo.

And I'm Cinderella with a glass slipper.

In 1913, I was in the living statues

at the World's Fair.

I am a bronze god of rippling muscles.

I am Apollo.

Sure, you are.

You won't need this anymore.

A monument to the human body.

A textbook example of the perfection of the human physique.

Tiller, will you button it before I mash you?

Why don't you get your clothes, Mr. Tiller?

We got a nice, warm place for you to spend the night.

I live on Mount Olympus.

Not tonight, you don't.

Where are his clothes?

I am clothed in my toga.

That's all we wear in Valhalla.

They're in the laundry room.

Come on, let's go.

Now be careful.

There's a lot of benefits to having a police car

out in front.

Keeps unsavory elements away.

I never thought of it like that.

I'm sure you haven't, but it's a fact

that in the high-crime area, the mere presence of a black and white

keeps a bar like yours from being robbed.

Yeah. Yeah, I suppose you're right.

Thanks for coming, fellas.

The next time you come, park right out front.

Okay?

Just a second. We're going to have to put these cuffs on you.

As you know, there are five of us on the police commission.

None of us has any real power without the other four.

We meet once a week to discuss everything

from administrative problems to what the new field jackets will look like.

All that for ten bucks a week.

And most of that ten goes for buying lunches.

Speaking of which, have you eaten?

As a matter of fact, we haven't.

Then how about seven?

Fine. We'll buy.

Thank you, Officer Reed.

You're welcome, ma'am.

Did you see that, Officer Malloy?

He turned right against the red.

Yes, ma'am. He came to a complete stop.

You didn't.

I know where there's a good place right up the street here.

This is One-Adam-12 requesting code seven at 908 South Wallace.

One-Adam-12, continue patrolling, handle this call.

A 415 fight with chains and knives.

In the alley south of Fifth and Pine.

Code two.

One-Adam-12, roger.

We'll drop you at the restaurant

and come back as soon as we can.

Please let me go with you. That's why I'm here.

Okay, but stay out of the way.

Call for an ambulance.

Anybody see what happened?

Just what we need... The Man coming down on us.

He wants to know if we seen anything.

Did you?

What they got you here for, mama?

Why don't you grow up, young man?

Why don't I grow up?

What's your name?

They call me the Prince.

Why don't you turkeys cut out?

There's a man who knows what he's talking about.

One-Adam-12 requesting a backup.

Meet us in the alley south of Fifth and Pine.

Possible riot situation.

One-Adam-12, roger.

Hey.

That man talking is John Benjamin.

He's the one who knifed that man. I saw it.

What's your name, son?

John Hagen.

Just who the hell are you, mama?

Okay, buddy, don't push it.

I was just asking her who she was.

Anything wrong with that?

Never mind who she is.

Well.

Looky here.

We got us a real live Aunt Jemima

with a five-star general's badge.

Don't you back me against the wall, young man.

Don't you try.

I don't scratch, I claw.

Don't scare off, do you, mama?

Hey, Benjamin, why don't you and I go have a little talk for a minute?

How'd you know my name?

You're a heavy dude, man.

It's our business to know heavy dudes.

Yeah, sure.

You clowns better not lean on Benji.

You hassle Benji,

and we come down on you like a concrete wall.

That's a promise.

What are you trying to tell me, man?

I'm telling you that I've called for a backup.

We can do this one or two ways.

Either you cooperate or you don't.

Why don't we do it the easy way, huh?

Hey, man, the cat had a gun.

I had to defend myself.

But you wouldn't believe that anyway.

Do you have witnesses to that?

Yeah, I got witnesses.

Plenty of the guys saw it.

If I find the gun, and you have witnesses,

it'll probably go down as a case of self-defense.

Yeah.

Listen, man...

While I search him,

why don't you put these on and wait in the car?

I'd have to be stupid to do that, wouldn't I?

Yeah, well, you're stupid if you don't.

Hey, Benji, what you doing, man?

Back off, pal.

Any of you people saw what happened here,

I'll take your names and statements.

Right.

Okay.

Hey, Malloy, I just got the word

that you're riding the lady commissioner around tonight.

- Pretty funny, right? - What's so funny?

The way I hear it, you and Reed hung a ticket on her earlier.

- They got a word for that. - I can hardly wait.

- It's called stupid. - Anything else?

Well, I just thought I'd tell you it's a shame

that you and Reed are going to be the P.D.'s first two meter men.

Good evening, Patsy.

It was.

- Hi, Ed. - Oh, Reed.

I just talked to a couple of meter maids.

They tell me there's a special on chalk

down at Sumner's department store.

Maybe I'm not plugged in. What's he talking about?

Don't ask.

I got a call from T.J.

He wants us to drop by when we can.

Where's the commissioner?

In the coffee room taking seven.

She's having a hot can of stew.

Oh, that's smooth.

You guys really know how to put on a feed.

Good-bye, Ed.

I was going to have dinner all ready.

I put my money in the machine, and I lost it.

Uh-huh.

Let me open that for you.

Why don't you get a new machine?

That's not a bad idea.

Last week, Sanchez jammed his thumb twice hitting that thing.

Sanchez has lousy technique.

You got to keep your palm open,

and snap your wrist when you hit it.

Would you like a cup of coffee?

Yes, thank you.

- Pete? - Yeah.

Looks good.

One-Adam-12, clear.

One-Adam-12, clear.

What now?

We still have to see T.J.

- Who's T.J.? - He's an informant.

He's turned some pretty good stuff for us.

He wanted us to stop by and check with him tonight.

One-Adam-12, One-Adam-12, see the woman.

A missing juvenile. 4810 Garber.

One-Adam-12, roger.

I'm Officer Malloy.

This is my partner, Officer Reed,

and this is Mrs. Dixon who's riding with us tonight.

I'm Diane Stanley.

You must excuse me. I'm upset.

Please, sit down.

You reported a missing juvenile.

How long has the child been gone?

You must be careful. You mustn't frighten him.

His name is Roy Wilson, and he's just 17.

We'll do our best.

I'm sorry. That's not what I meant.

You have to understand the deaf, Officer Malloy.

Did you see the children when you came in?

When they saw you?

How did they look?

Frightened, didn't they?

It's a terrible thing to say,

but most deaf people are extremely fearful of the police.

They know they can't communicate,

and they're afraid of getting shot.

It's really more complicated than that.

We'll do everything we can, Mrs. Stanley.

Roy's been here for a month.

He's an unwanted child.

His parents didn't want him, so they left him with us.

He's been going through a terrible period of adjustment.

He simply can't accept the fact

that he's not wanted.

Where do his parents live, Mrs. Stanley?

Maybe he's trying to get back to them.

They live in Santa Barbara.

I'm sure he's trying to get back home.

But you must find him.

He's emotionally disturbed,

and if he gets home and he's rejected again,

it could affect him permanently.

Can you tell us what he was wearing?

Yes, he was wearing a yellow sweater and blue pants

and tennis shoes.

Mrs. Stanley, do you have a picture of this boy?

Yes, right here.

I found one from the files for you to have.

What is it? Is something wrong?

Earlier this evening, Mrs. Stanley,

my partner and I stopped this boy,

and when we tried to talk to him, he ran.

I lost him over on Northside Avenue.

Was he hurt?

No, ma'am, not as far as we know.

You better put out a supplemental broadcast.

Please, please be careful.

He's only a boy.

We will, ma'am, if he just slows down.

One-Adam-45 is in pursuit of a stolen 1972 blue Mustang convertible

with a white top.

Heading southbound on Dover.

One-Adam-45, repeat the cross street.

One-Adam-45 is crossing Sixth.

Suspect is described as a male Caucasian wearing a yellow sweater.

Pete, get out here on the double!

Let's go.

Let's go. I'll fill you in.

Come on, get in the backseat.

Head over toward Sixth Street.

Northbound on Eagleton, approaching Dorsey.

One-Adam-45 verifies the suspect is wearing a yellow sweater.

Sounds like the same kid.

Can't you call and tell them he's deaf?

With a pursuit going, the frequency's tied up.

We'll try and break in.

One-Adam-45 is now eastbound on Dorsey

in excess of 70.

This is One-Adam-12. We have additional information

on the pursuit in progress.

All units on all frequencies, stand by.

Pursuit is in progress. One-Adam-45, go ahead.

Try cutting him off at Normandie.

We'll never make it. He'll be past us.

Try Pico.

One-Adam-45, can you give us the license of the vehicle?

One-Adam-45 still eastbound on Dorsey crossing Normandie.

First time I've ever rooted against one of our own causes.

One-Adam-45, Robert David Ocean 625 is a Wilshire stolen only.

- Go ahead. - Clear right.

There he is.

Police! Stop1

Hold your fire. The suspect is deaf.

Repeat... the suspect is deaf.

What did you tell him?

That he's loved.

I'm afraid I only know that one thing, officer.

I learned how to say "love" at a meeting I had with the deaf.

It's the only thing I can say.

Well, it worked.

Now this is a problem we can well afford to go into in depth.

Thank you, officers.

It's been a very educational night.

Yes, ma'am. They all are.

Hey, hey.

Do you guys believe that some guy left his car

in the red zone right in front of the station?

I hung a ticket on it.

Imagine that, right out in front of the station.

Here are your keys. It's parked right in front, Commissioner.

Dixon, right?

Right.

Welcome to the club.

We just made you the president.
