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

a 211 in progress.

One-Adam-12, handle code 3.

♪♪

Pete.

Looks like a real desperado.

Come on out.

It's kind of late for you to be out, isn't it?

What's your name, son?

Larry Spencer.

Larry. You live around here?

What are you doing here?

I'm running away from home.

Oh. How come you're running away?

Look, Larry, it's a little late for you to be running away.

Why don't you let us give you a ride home, huh?

Then you can get a fresh start in the morning.

Well, okay.

What's your address?

Uh...

1602 Bellwood Drive.

Apartment 4.

Come on.

Where were you going to run away to?

Oh, I don't know. Africa maybe.

Africa, huh? That's a long way away.

I ran away when I was just about your age, too.

- You did? - Yeah.

I wanted to be an engineer on the train.

What happened?

- I got hungry. - Me, too.

Hop in.

One-Adam-12, One-Adam-12, 415.

1602 Bellwood Drive, apartment 4.

Code 2.

One-Adam-12, roger.

Mrs. Spencer?

Larry, what are you doing out?

You should be in bed.

Is he all right?

Yes, ma'am, he's fine.

We found him about eight blocks from here.

He was on his way to Africa.

Lois, who's at the door?

Come in.

Please excuse the mess.

I didn't have a chance to clean up today.

Try to run away again?

Yes, sir.

You know how kids are.

We want to thank you for bringing Larry home.

We really appreciate it.

Yeah. I hope it wasn't too much trouble.

It was no trouble, but there's something else we'd like to talk to you about.

Larry, I want you to go off to bed.

I'll come tuck you in later, okay?

Oh, hey, say good night to the officers.

Good night.

- Good night. - Good night, Larry.

Well, what's the problem, fellas?

While we were on the way over here,

we had a complaint about a disturbance in this apartment.

I guess there's been some sort of a mistake.

There's been no trouble here.

No, no trouble at all.

Have you and your wife been home all evening?

Yeah. Tonight was my bowling night,

but I passed it to stay with my wife.

We were watching TV.

We just turned it off.

There wasn't really much on.

Now that might have been it.

We might have had it on a little bit loud.

You know how these places are built.

Mr. Spencer, all I know is we got a complaint.

I don't know whether or not it was the television,

but whatever it was,

see to it it doesn't happen again, okay?

Sure. Okay.

Officers, I want to thank you very much

for bringing Larry home.

We really do appreciate it.

Thank you, officers.

- Good night. - Good night now.

One-Adam-12, clear.

One-Adam-12, clear and a call.

See the man regarding narcotic activity.

2248 South Hendrix. Code 2.

One-Adam-12, roger.

Boy, oh boy, did you guys ever get here fast.

I told you it wouldn't take too long, dear.

Are you the one that called?

My wife didn't want me to call.

Said it was none of my business.

But I said it was my civic duty to call.

Can I have your name, sir?

Yeah. Arthur C. Cosgrove.

I live at 494 Mason Drive. I'm not going too fast, am I?

No, sir.

What's the problem, Mr. Cosgrove?

I was sitting in my car waiting for my wife

She always does the shopping, what with all the specials and everything.

Anyway, I was sitting in my car listening to the radio,

when all of a sudden, this girl jumps in.

She says she's early, but she has the money and wants the pills.

I tell you, I didn't know what to think.

About what time was this?

It was about ten or 15 minutes ago.

What happened then?

I told her I didn't know anything

about pills or money or anything.

She said she was sorry, jumped out of the car, and left.

That's when I called you guys.

Did you see which way she went?

She went out towards the street.

I couldn't see which way she went after that.

Can you give us a description of the girl?

Just a minute, sweetheart.

Yeah, she was about 19 or 20.

Kind of small.

Dressed like a boy with the blue jeans and the leather jacket.

Oh, yeah, she had long blonde hair.

I didn't get too good a look at her face.

- Is there anything else? - No, that's about it.

I sure hope I've done the right thing.

I mean, I hope it was important.

Yes, sir, it could be. We appreciate it.

If anything else develops, you'll be contacted.

I got to go now.

I hope everything will be all right.

Yes, sir. Thank you.

Thank you, sir. Thank you very much, officers.

Good night.

I told you I did the right thing.

You and that horn.

What you have to keep blowing that horn for?

Want to stake it out?

Why don't we give it 20 minutes and see if anything turns up.

One-Adam-12 show as code 5

at 2248 South Hendrix.

One-Adam-12, roger.

All units, One-Adam-12 is code 5.

2248 South Hendrix.

Come on out. Let's go.

Come on, move!

Face down on the ground.

Arms straight out from your sides.

What kept you guys? We've been waiting a half an hour.

Come on, Woods. I can't believe you'd wait a half hour for anything,

let alone eat.

Well, maybe five minutes.

But let's go. I'm hungry.

That I believe.

Want to try that coffee shop over on Lakewood?

It's One-Adam-12 requesting code 7 at 447 Lakewood.

One-Adam-12, continue patrol and handle this call.

A 415, 1602 Bellwood Drive, apartment 4.

Code 2.

One-Adam-12, roger.

That's the Spencers, isn't it?

Yeah.

Yeah, we had a couple of calls on them last week.

For the last time, Lois, put that thing down.

That's exactly what this is... The last time.

Get out of here!

I want him arrested. You saw it, he tried to assault me.

Me assault her? She's the one who should be put away.

We've already seen enough to arrest both of you.

Now calm down.

What's this all about?

Golf clubs.

I work at two jobs to make ends meet,

and he goes out and spends money on golf clubs!

You are crazy, you're really crazy.

There's no reasoning with you anymore.

Yeah, I am crazy. I married you.

We're not going to get anywhere

with you two yelling at each other.

She's the one that's making all the fuss.

Blame somebody else when everything goes wrong.

That's just your style.

I give up with you.

Yeah, that's just like you, too.

Mommy?

What are you doing up?

Go back to bed!

Don't yell at my son.

What's the matter, baby?

You woke me up.

I'll put you back to bed.

You'll have to excuse me.

Now the kid.

Look, uh, can we step into the kitchen?

Yeah, I guess so.

Now what?

That kind of depends on you, doesn't it?

Why me?

I've had a hard time finding a job.

That make me a bad guy?

I mean, you can't blame a guy for having bum luck.

No, but you can't keep going on like this.

This isn't the first time that it's happened.

When's it going to stop?

I don't know.

I just don't know.

Her and the boy.

That kid gets more attention around here than I do.

Don't I count?

Mr. Spencer, that's not the point.

What you're doing now isn't going to solve any problems.

Yeah.

I know.

Have you and your wife thought about seeking professional help?

You mean a marriage counselor?

Yeah. You're not the only two that have had marital problems.

It's not going to do any good.

How do you know until you've tried?

Anything would be better than what you've got going now.

So where are they?

They're in the other room.

Sit down, Mrs. Spencer. I want to talk to you.

All right. For all the good it will do.

I suppose he's been telling you it's all my fault.

We didn't come out here to find out whose fault it was.

That doesn't matter.

What does matter is that it doesn't happen again.

Look, I've tried.

After my first husband died,

and I was left with Larry, I worked day and night

just to keep him.

Now that I'm married again, you'd at least think

things would be a little bit easier.

But no.

He can't find a job,

and when he finds one, he quits...

after two months.

It's not good enough for him.

So when he came home tonight and told me he'd quit another one,

it was just too much.

I realize you're having problems

but carrying on the way you two are isn't going to solve anything.

Besides, think what it's doing to your son.

That's another thing.

He's not much of a father to Larry.

Maybe not, but we can't keep coming out here to act as referees.

We want to see this thing settled.

Have you considered professional marriage counseling?

I will if he will.

But he won't.

Let's find out about that.

Here's a list of family counseling agencies.

They're all available on a sliding scale and no-fee basis,

so there's no way you can say you can't afford it.

Okay.

We don't want to have to come back out here.

Is that understood?

I don't think you got anything to worry about.

Everything's going to be fine.

And thanks.

That's okay.

Come on, Pete, it was a smorgasbord.

You shouldn't have been so shy about going back for seconds.

Seconds? I think I saw the owner cringe when you went back for thirds.

They were small plates.

Go back around the block. I think I saw something.

Evening, officers.

This your car?

Yeah. Sure.

Oh, hey, must look pretty funny with the screwdriver, I mean.

- You know. - Yeah, a little.

- What's your name? - Don Simpson.

Do you have any identification, Mr. Simpson?

Sure. I got a driver's license.

Why don't we step up on the curb?

Okay.

This is One-Adam-12 requesting wants, warrants and DMV on

Ida 78320.

Yeah, I know this must look kind of funny

with the screwdriver and breaking into the truck,

but see, I have an extra key in my jacket.

See, my dog locked me out.

- Your dog? - Oh, yeah.

See, I thought I had a flat,

and I got out to check it,

and Ferdinand jumped up on the window and locked the door.

Come here. I'll show you.

See?

He's clean.

Are you a member of the Auto Club, Mr. Simpson?

Yes, I am.

Why don't I call them and ask them to come out and give you a hand?

Thanks very much. I appreciate it.

You know, he's really not a bad dog.

He's just exuberant.

Looks like a pretty good watchdog.

Oh, yeah.

So far, he's watched them steal the truck three times.

Open the door, Ferdinand. You locked it.

For a minute there, I thought we had ourselves a car thief.

Me, too.

One-Adam-12, One-Adam-12, unknown trouble.

1602 Bellwood Drive, apartment 4. Code 2.

One-Adam-12, roger.

Spencers again.

That tears it.

You'd think they would have run out of dishes by now.

If you want this car, you're going to have to kill me to get it.

If that's what it takes...

Get out of the way.

All right, Mr. Spencer, shut off the engine and get out of the car.

Look, he can just get out of here,

but he's not going to take my car.

What do you mean, your car?

I made the payments. It's my car.

It's not going to be anybody's car in a minute,

'cause you're both going to go to jail.

What got it started this time?

It's just all over. I've had it.

You're not the only one, baby, because I'm leaving.

Yeah, you are leaving, but you're not taking this car.

Look, I made the payments on this car.

I need it for work. He doesn't need it for anything.

You got someplace to spend the night, Mr. Spencer?

Yeah, I got a sister that lives nearby.

We'll take you over there.

It would be better if you settled this thing tomorrow when you both calm down.

Yeah, go over to your sister's.

Just get me out of here now, will you, please?

I'll pick my stuff up in the morning.

Good. It will be in the trash.

Mrs. Spencer, it's all over.

Why don't you go back inside?

I thought you two settle this thing.

Yeah, so did I.

But she started harping about me quitting my job

and I just couldn't take anymore.

I guess it's really settled now.

Maybe with things as tough as they are, you shouldn't have quit.

I didn't quit.

I was fired.

I didn't tell her because

she'd just say it was all my fault.

Just give her something else to yell about.

Why don't you get in the car?

You guys didn't really have to come up here with me.

That's okay, Mr. Spencer.

We wanted to make sure you had a place to stay.

Lois threw me out, and I need a place to stay.

Is it okay?

- Again? - Mm-hm.

You know where the couch is.

- Thanks for the ride. - You bet.

Hey, fellas.

Thanks for bringing him over.

He and Lois fight all the time,

but they're really both very nice people.

It's just too bad.

Yes, ma'am. Good night.

Good night, officers.

Do you see what I see?

You all right?

Certainly, officer.

It's a little late to be bike riding, isn't it?

Nonsense.

What's your name?

My name is Oliver Durkson.

Is this your bike, Mr. Durkson?

Well, to tell you the absolute truth,

I kind of borrowed it.

You see, in case you didn't know it,

I've been drinking.

I felt, being a good citizen,

that driving home in my condition

might possibly be dangerous.

When I walked, I kept falling down.

So I borrowed the bike.

Where do you live, Mr. Durkson?

I live, uh...

It's just around...

You can't get there from here.

You know where you can get from here?

Jail?

One-Adam-12, clear.

One-Adam-12, clear and a call.

See the woman at 415 Mann.

3344 East Laurel, apartment 3C.

Code 2.

One-Adam-12, roger.

Oh, you've got to stop him.

John went back home, and he's going to kill her.

What happened?

She called up here saying that

he didn't need to bother to pick up his things

because she was going to burn them, and that's all it took.

John blew up, and he went out saying he was going to fix her once and for all.

Go back inside and calm down. We'll take care of it.

Please try not to hurt him.

We'll do our best.

This is One-Adam-12, shows code 6.

1602 Bellwood Drive, apartment 4.

One-Adam-12, roger.

This is One-Adam-12. We have shots fired inside that location.

Request a backup.

One-Adam-12, roger.

Any unit in the vicinity, backup One-Adam-12.

1602 Bellwood Drive. Shots fired.

Drop it!

Now step back.

I killed him.

I really killed him.

- Malloy. - In here.

I'll call the ambulance.

He's dead.

Take her in the other room.

I didn't mean to kill him.

I mean, I really didn't mean to kill him.

Mommy.

Mommy.
