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

a 211 in progress.

One-Adam-12, handle code 3.

♪♪

Unload your weapons.

Face right, load six rounds in your gun,

holster it, and snap holster.

Load six rounds in reserve ammo carrier.

Move to seven-yard divider.

- Double or nothing? - Okay.

Use regular seven-yard extended-arm position,

one or two hands.

Fire six rounds, right, center, left.

Repeat... right, center, left.

Eject empty shells and reload.

Twelve rounds in 35 seconds.

Draw safely when targets turn.

Attention.

I got you this time.

Double or nothing. You sure the pressure didn't get you?

We'll see.

Group two.

90.

90.

100.

Number one.

90.

90.

70.

It's always the left.

Next time, we only shoot the center.

You ready to pay up?

You want them both now?

No. Your credit's good.

Hey, that stuff's no good for you.

Rots your teeth.

Fogs your brain.

How are you, Malloy? Long time.

I hear you're coming over.

Yeah, well, the Westside got dull.

Anyways, we moved. Transfer just came through.

We'll be working the same division again.

That's great.

Who's your partner?

Jim Reed, Steve Tyson.

- Hi. - How you doing?

I notice you were having a little trouble with your left side.

You got to snap off that fourth cap real quick

so you can sight with your flash.

Thanks.

Well, I'm going around again.

See you guys later.

You better get used to it.

For a guy that doesn't wear any shooting brass,

he sure comes on strong.

Tyson's not a bad cop, he's just a procedure nut.

He turns toward Parker Center twice a day

and chants the manual.

You want to go down to the Embers and get something to eat?

I better not. I got to find a market that's still open.

There's an all-night market on Third near Beverly.

I'm going to change. I'll see you tomorrow.

Hey, buddy, look, easy.

You look like somebody I went to school with.

Didn't you go to Taft?

No.

Yeah, well, I didn't either,

and, well, neither did he.

That's a .38 with a five-inch barrel looking at you.

So you just cool it.

Oh, my God.

Has he got a DMV on Lincoln Paul Queen 343?

Hasn't come back yet.

Let's go over it again.

Mac, I just gave it to you.

Walked out of the store, this guy came up to me

and pretended like he knew me.

He pointed out his buddy who had a five-inch chrome .38 leveled at me

from a car, he was parked over here.

I shoved him, his buddy fired, I returned.

My shot hit the car.

He was hit by his own man.

The grocer said there was only one shot,

and he never saw a car.

He came out after the guy had already split.

One L-20, Lincoln Paul Queen 343.

A 1965 Cadillac, Clarence Wiley.

1362 Sycamore, San Francisco.

You sure about that plate?

I'm sure.

Could it have been L-B-Q?

No, Mac. I got the plate.

It's only logical they'd use hot plates.

I'm sure the car was a '62 or '63 VW.

Hey, this guy looks critical.

I don't think he's going to make it to the hospital.

I better try and get a dying declaration.

Hey, listen, you've been hit pretty bad.

The attendant doesn't think you're going to make it.

Just don't go bringing me a preacher.

I can die just fine by myself.

Why don't you tell us what really went down?

Clear my conscience, huh?

What if I forget how to die?

If you live, anything you say now

can't be used in evidence against you.

He...

He did it.

He's trigger happy.

I didn't even have a gun.

You wanted to see me?

I thought the feeling would be mutual.

Come on, Mac. You don't really think Reed shot an unarmed man.

And you don't really think the department should conduct this investigation

without it being suspect of everyone.

No, I don't.

Okay, sit down.

Listen, you remember the other day I told you

I thought Jim looked a little down?

We all have our slumps.

A good cop compensates, and Jim's a good cop.

Yeah, if Jim was a little down,

and you guys had put in a full day,

why did you go up to the range last night?

Come on, Mac, you're scrounging.

You're the one that hits us with an extra day

if we don't shoot once a month,

and yesterday was the last day of the month.

How did he shoot?

Okay. He had a little trouble with the left-hand target,

but nothing remarkable.

Did he qualify?

Mac, you presented him with a sharp-shooter medal.

Why ask me if he can shoot?

We ran a make on the guy.

He's not clean. He's sanitary.

You sure it's the same guy?

What about ballistics?

Jim said the guy in the car fired at him.

Did S.I.D. turn the slug?

The bullet didn't lodge.

It may be out in that parking lot somewhere,

but we couldn't find it.

And the grocer still claims there was only one shot.

Well, I guess you better get dressed.

Okay, One-Adam-8, Brinkman and Sanchez.

One-Adam-11, Jones and Snider.

One-Adam-12, Malloy and Tyson.

One-Adam-19, Woods and Andrews.

One-Adam-27, Benson and Boyd.

On the desk, Reed.

Now, there's been a rash of 459's,

probably juveniles, around the park areas,

so be on the lookout for any probables in that vicinity.

Any questions?

Okay, that's all. Hit the streets.

I know. It's policy.

Well, the Shooting Review Board

will meet in two days at Parker Center.

Till then, you'll have to fly the desk.

If it comes down as an in-policy shooting,

things will be back to normal on Wednesday.

Yeah, if it comes down in policy.

If it doesn't, Internal Affairs will handle the admonishment.

Or suspension.

That's assuming the D.A. doesn't move for criminal indictment.

That's the way it has to be, and you know it.

But I don't have to like it.

No, but you have to live with it, at least till Wednesday.

Hey, Malloy, it's almost mid-watch.

Let's roll.

- It's not so bad. - Not bad?

You ought to try working out of Westside.

It's not a station. It's a museum.

Is that why you left?

No.

When they gave me a sociologist for a partner,

I decided it was time to move.

You, uh... You seem pretty tight with your partner.

Yeah.

You think the SRB will lay him off?

Yep.

What's up?

What's the PC?

There isn't any.

Do you realize how many VW's there are in this town that are green?

And the license plates didn't even match.

Chasing bugs all over town isn't going to help your partner.

You need to relax.

Why don't we seven at Lucy's,

get a nice, big, greasy pizza,

get your mind off this mess?

One-Adam-12 requesting code 7 at the station.

One-Adam-12, okay, seven.

Let me help you with your spelling.

Can I offer you a sampling of the cuisine?

No, thanks. I come here for the atmosphere.

The food's only so-so.

How goes the desk?

I'm out of my element.

Maybe you can talk them into letting you put a seatbelt on the stool.

Can you hold out another day?

I don't know.

Maybe I did shoot the guy.

I keep reading the victim's statement. It's like a nightmare.

It's getting hard to tell when I'm awake and when I'm dreaming.

Hey, Sharon, you got a minute?

Sure, Pete.

I need to run some DMV checks.

- What for? - Don't ask.

How many do you have?

Quite a few.

You better use the extra autostatus over there.

- Thanks. - Sure.

You are not on trial here.

It is simply our responsibility

to thoroughly investigate all shootings,

to determine if they're in or out of policy.

Now, the report states, the man who was shot was unarmed.

Is that correct?

Yes, sir, that's correct.

And this unarmed man gave testimony

that you were the one who shot him.

That's right.

The head shooting instructor, Sergeant Dodd,

indicates that you qualified

below your average on the night in question.

Have you been under any unusual strain?

No, sir. I was fully alert the night of the shooting.

Independent testimony

offered by the grocer

indicates there was one shot fired.

Shots came almost simultaneously.

It's possible he didn't hear two distinct shots.

Can you think of any motive the grocer would have for lying?

No, sir.

Is there any evidence contradicting to testimony

which would establish there were two shots fired?

No, sir. No physical evidence.

Had you ever seen the man who approached you before?

Never. Not to my knowledge.

Thank you.

I have just been informed the victim of the shooting has died.

We'll adjourn and reconvene on Monday.

Officer Reed, you're still assigned to desk duty.

Okay, what did he do after he came up behind you?

This isn't going to do any good, Pete.

- It better. - That's ridiculous.

Playing cops and robbers isn't going to change the fact

that the D.A. has a dying declaration

that no amount of cross-examination can break.

There's got to be a piece missing someplace.

Come on, let's walk it.

Imagine... Joyriding in an ambulance.

Kid must have been out of his head.

Anyways, he finally turned the siren on,

and the pursuit got hot.

Crazy.

Call in a DMV check on LPQ 348.

What's up?

One-Adam-12 requesting DMV on Lincoln Paul Queen 348.

One-Adam-12, Lincoln Paul Queen 348,

a 1965 Oldsmobile.

A.J. Ratner, 1662 Midvale, San Francisco.

Okay, try LPO 848.

Come on, Malloy, so the plate was hot.

You can't run down every number in the state.

One-Adam-12 requesting DMV on Lincoln Paul Ocean 848.

One-Adam-12, Lincoln Paul Ocean 848,

a 1965 MG. Carl Mann.

2201 Chenault, Bakersfield.

Malloy, you saw the last training bulletin.

Load capacity on communications is at peak.

You're abusing the radio.

Look, I've had a belly full of you and the manual.

You got a complaint, take it to the brass,

but for now, get off my case.

I was only trying to say you're not supposed to tie up the radio.

Okay. You've said it.

One-Adam-12 requesting code 7 at 223 Norris.

One-Adam-12, okay 7.

You coming?

No, I got some more plates to run.

One-Adam-12 requesting DMV on Edward Robert Ocean 843.

One-Adam-12, Edward Robert Ocean 843,

DMV not in file.

One-Adam-12 requesting DMV on Edward Robert Ocean 348.

One-Adam-12, Edward Robert Ocean 348

a 1971 Oldsmobile.

Dee Staley.

3308 Morrison, San Diego.

One-Adam-12 requesting DMV on license Edward Robert Queen 848.

One-Adam-12, Edward Robert Queen 848,

a 1962 Volkswagen.

Thomas Richards.

1508 Valley View, Los Angeles.

Tyson, let's go. On the double.

One-Adam-12 clear and shows code 6

at 1508 Valley View.

One-Adam-12 requests L-90 meet us on tac 2.

One-Adam-12, roger.

One L-90, One L-90, meet One-Adam-12 on tach two.

One L-90 to One-Adam-12. Go.

Mac, I think I may have found Reed's Volkswagen.

I'm going code 6 on Valley View.

Okay, Pete. Let me know what you get.

Right.

Listen, Malloy, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to come on so strong before.

It's just that I'm, uh...

a kind of by-the-book guy.

Okay.

Thanks.

We're about there.

That's your green VW?

I think so.

Get me wants and warrants.

One-Adam-12 requesting wants and warrants on

Edward Robert Queen 848.

One-Adam-12, Edward Robert Queen 848,

no want or warrants.

That is a '62, isn't it?

Yeah. In '63, the taillights were bigger.

After that, the vents changed.

I thought so.

What's the PC?

What are you going to say when they ask why you pulled him over?

I'm going to hope they don't ask.

One-Adam-12, we are in pursuit of yellow '62 Volkswagen

presently eastbound on Rialto crossing Hobart.

Wanted for speed only at...

Wanted for speed only.

All units on all frequencies, stand by.

One-Adam-12 is in pursuit.

What about the car and the license?

What are you doing?

Taking the tape off.

That's tampering with evidence, Pete.

When the D.A. asks you what the front plate read,

what are you going to say?

I never saw the front plate.

That's why we sent the rear plate to S.I.D.

They're doing a match on the tape right now.

They've already verified the car was repainted,

the rear window replaced within the last week.

So I guess you and Malloy will be together by tomorrow.

How you getting along with Tyson?

Hey, come on, Malloy. Let's get going.

Regulations states that no officer shall take more than 45 minutes

for code 7.

We've been out 47 minutes.

I just like to go by the book.
