I don't like the way
that load is ridin', man.

'I don't think it's gonna hold.'

What was I gonna do?
I had to get us outta there.

That foreman was on to us.

LA-15, 7 Charles.

I have a speeding, flatbed

southbound Santa Fe
from sixth.

It may be stolen. Reported,
oh, 30 minutes ago.

- Requesting a backup.
- '10-4, 7 Charles.'

Oh, boy. Looks like
we've picked up some trouble.

Sit still.

Corey. That's Tom Corey.

- Ah.

No. I-I'm alright.

LA-15, calling
from a disabled unit.

Uh, multiple TC
Santa Fe at twentieth.

Roll, 11-41,
42, and 85

and a unit for 11-84.

What happened to you, Bonnie?
Are you alright?

Yeah. I'm fine.
I'm not hurt.

Who put out that radio call?

A guy in a white coat.

There, that's him.

'I don't believe it.'

Do you know him?

He was with us before you came.

Tom Corey, sergeant.

Before he went sour.

Thanks for you help.
Stick around. We may need you.

I had no right to
interfere, but, um

I guess it's in the blood.

Hi, Tom.

Ponch.

I thought he was still
in prison.

He's been out ten days
on parole.

It makes you wonder, don't it?

With all the world
to get lost in

why would he come back here?

Uh, he was on the top.
I don't think he needed money.

- Uh, he was a brilliant cop.

He went to prison
for stealing trucks.

Nope, setting them up so other
gang members could steal them.

That, among other things.

He's what you call,
uh, an achiever.

I think it was the challenge
that turned him on.

Oh, that truck you tangled with

fits into a well
established pattern.

What

What will they think of next?

We've found 40 similar heists

of similar materials
over the past two years.

- I checked out his employer.

I know his route.
I figure we can find him.

Now, if Corey saw
the men in that truck

it may be a break,
squeeze him.

But don't assume he's dirty
just because of his past.

- Try the record clerk.

- I haven't seen him.
- Yeah, maybe the locker room.

Alright, alright. Never mind.
Just tell him his car is ready.

New fan belt. And don't
go near the garage.

Wait a minute.

And if you do
go near the garage

don't go inside.

Harlan, what did you
do to my car?

Hey, I hosed it off!

I scrubbed it down
with carbon tet.

I even sprayed
the seats and carpeting.

It smells terrible.

That part was done by a skunk.

Skunk!

Yes. I guess it came
in last night.

It's hiding here someplace.

- Anywhere it wants.

What am I supposed to do?

Just roll down the windows
and don't make any stops.

Well, I couldn't find
it anyplace inside.

- I even looked under the--
- Whoo!

Grossman, hold it right there!

Grossman, I told you not
to go into the garage.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

See you tomorrow.

I was afraid the bloodhounds
would look me up.

- Oh, I'll get by.

Unless you asphalt rangers
sully my reputation.

Okay, we'll make it quick.
About the wreck.

'Did you see who was
in the stolen truck?'

Nah. Just a glance.

Well, that time,
you were acting like a cop

and you said it's
in the blood, so

a good cop a glance is enough.

Boys, I know the rules
of evidence.

I saw a passenger.

If I could ID him,
what would you have?

The-the word of an ex-con
on a guy who could

who could claim
he was a hitchhiker.

I understand your problem,
but it's yours, not mine.

I lost my star six years ago.

That isn't all you lost.

Can I have a grape, please?

Okay.

Those go 100 miles
an hour.

Oh, not unless we have to.

I know. My dad used to ride one,
just like you guys.

He says that all the time.

It's true. My dad
was a hero before he died.

- Uh-huh.

I'm gonna be one, too.
Just like him.

Like you.

What's your name, son?

Tommy Corey.

Come on, Tommy.
Hurry up.

I'd like chocolate, please.

Sure.

There you go.

Where were you yesterday?

- I had to get my stupid shots.
- Good.

That means you won't be sick
and miss any school.

If you're gonna
be a highway patrolman

you have to study hard.

I will.

- It's on the house.
- Gee, thanks.

- Okay.

I can't do a whole lot for him

but I can see him.

Watch him grow up.

- Be his friend.

Well, unless you louse
it up for me

she doesn't know where I am.

And Tommy will never know
who I am.

Yeah, you won't talk,
I mean, uh

you saw some truck thief
try to kill an officer.

But you know how to keep
your mouth shut, don't you?

It's not a bad place.

I knew you were out.

You promised I'd
never see you again.

I had to find out
if maybe we could

make an arrangement.

So that I could,
uh...see Tommy?

'No!'

Tommy thinks you're dead.

That was your idea.

Five years ago.

I thought I would be.
I was suicidal then.

But, I..

...I found I had something
to live for.

I had a son.

Tom, I can't handle this.

Please. Just two minutes
and I'll go.

I mean..

...don't you date guys?

Couldn't I be a boyfriend
or something?

And what, take him to the zoo?

Or can you afford the zoo?

Look, if I had money,
I would've--

I wouldn't take it.

I told you that
when you divorced me.

And you get this straight..

You want it straight?

My son has no
convenient uncles.

I had one man

and I don't have him anymore.

And I don't want his skeleton
cluttering my closet.

I can share regrets with you

without ever seeing you again.

But don't you try to mess
with Tommy's life

don't you dare.

Not as his father, but..

...as someone who cares.

Don't you want to give him that?

I gave him a memory.

A father who died
a crime-fighting hero.

You can't top that.

So stay dead.

Hello, Tom.

So, Vin..

'still working
for Reno Hale, huh?'

Sent you to find out whether

I'd mentioned seeing you today
to the cops.

Still pretty sharp,
ain't you, Tom?

Hale's waiting for the answer.

You know it, pal.

Okay, pal, you got
the answer on the hoof.

Take me to Hale.

Vin, take me to Reno Hale!

It's the only way you'll
leave here in one piece.

Water heaters for that apartment
complex at the Marina, huh?

They need 30.

From the main warehouse.

Write it up to P&R Sales.

And then you can
go home or wherever.

- Yes, sir.
- Thank you.

And Vin is waiting
outside with that man.

Oh! Okay, thank you, love.

Well, well, Tom!

How are you?

I was delighted to hear
from Vin you were out.

You knew before
they opened the gate.

Yeah. I'm on my way to dinner.

Let's keep it simple, huh, Tom?

Simple? I want a job.

You got a job.

You sell ice cream.

Keeps my parole officer happy.

My hours are my own.

- I can moonlight.
- 'Well, I don't know.'

You know, I'm not running
chop shops anymore.

I'm running
a sophisticated business

with just a few loyal employees.

As I recall, you had a little
problem with your loyalty.

No problem. You bought it.

You kept your mouth shut.

- Just for me.
- And for me.

I knew this day would come.

You owe me, Reno

'and you need me.'

If I needed you, kid

I'd send for you.

- To see you.

Not to bring you.

And he bent like a ripe banana.

Corey, you're going
to go too far.

Suppose I give you
to the fuzz and get you

out of circulation,
would that be too far?

One more stupid stunt like you
pulled with that truck

will blow this sophisticated
business sky high!

Hey, hey, hey.

It was just a simple wreck.

I'll drive for you for nothing

if he told you he tried
to kill a cop.

'He's got every
highway patrolman'

'in California on your case.'

I wasn't driving.

Send Marv Speller in here.

You know, when you were a cop

you were of value to me.

I can hire drivers
by the dozens!

I'm a dirty name
at the CHP.

But I got a couple
of patsies inside who

who are concerned
for my welfare.

What I know and what I can learn

is money in your pocket.

You know..

...I knew you were an itch

I'd have to scratch someday.

Let's say,
that these two were seen

when they grabbed
that flatbed, okay?

And let's just say..

...that I could use a man.

Now, let me tell you something.

Our greatest danger
is at the precise moment

of an inner-city hijack.

You wanna drive one?

Just set it up.

I'll call you.

We'll give it a try, Tom.

And I mean...a try.

If you cross me, you're dead.

My day to be told I'm dead.

- Yeah.

I'm gonna give
it something to eat.

- Make it feel loved and wanted.

Then maybe it won't attack.

You don't mean my motor.

No, no, no.
The sergeant's back.

- Yeah.

That's what they call the skunk.

On account of the stripes.
You get it?

Oh.

Oh!

Oh.

Phew!

Phew!

The skunk is back.

Is it bad?

Nah. Just roll down the windows
and don't make any stops.

Okay, let's get
this paperwork done.

Hey! Hey!

He did it, man.

Pretty smooth.

Follow him.

Look, we're not
supposed to, Vin.

We're supposed to drop him off

go back to the yard
and meet him.

I don't trust him.
Follow him.

'7-Harry,
10, 11-78.'

'Civilian motorcycle
versus a big rig.'

'Units in the vicinity
of Tenth and Olympic'

'a truck hijack just occurred.'

'Continuing hijack information'

'vehicle described as
a blue five ton state truck'

'license number California
X-ray 8-8-0-9-0.'

'Last seen westbound, Olympic.'

'Suspect is one male Caucasian.
No further.'

'Units responding, identify.'

LA-15, on National from Pico.

'57-Adam, eastbound Olympic
from Lincoln.'

Let's roll that way
in case they need some backup.

LA-79, this is Mary-12
I'm 10-10 with mechanical.

'I got an eyeball
on your last transmission.'

'He just turned off Olympic,
southbound Bundy.'

Southbound Bundy. 10-4.

'10-4, Mary-12.'

He wasn't supposed to be there.

Yeah, we weren't supposed
to tail him either.

- 'I don't know, man.'

We got to be back at that
warehouse when he gets there

to keep that rig movin'.

I'm buggin' outta here.

Cops! Corey must've called them.

LA-15, Mary 3 and 4 in pursuit
of a reckless beige

'72 Plymouth sedan
east on Olympic.

'10-4. 7 Mary 3 in pursuit'

'of a '72 Plymouth
eastbound on Olympic.'

My car!

Ahh! Ah!

Just hold on. We'll get you.

Hurry. Please, hurry.

You alright?

Lean up right here.

Just take some deep breaths.
Real slow now. Go on.

Go on.

You s..

- You s--
- It's okay.

No thanks is necessary.

You just get yourself
together, lady. Alright?

You smell awful!

You tack heads were
supposed to be here.

We had to run
from the cops, Corey.

Somebody tipped them off.

- I say it was you.
- Don't be ridiculous.

I faked a call and sent the cops
in the wrong direction.

Then how did they get on to us?

That's your problem.

And so is this truck.

Every minute it sits here
it's a menace to the caper.

Hey, why are we
doing this, Harlan?

Because if we find him
and corner him

animal regulations will come

and take him out of our hands.

I guess they come down
from the hills

when the food runs short.

Yes, and they're
very territorial.

So am I, but I try not to be
unpleasant about it.

You know, the way I see it,
we have two choices

burn the garage
or start a petting zoo.

Hey, what do you call
where a skunk lives

a nest or what?

'No. It's just his home.'

And he's not really
the enemy, you know.

He's simply using the only
defense nature's given him.

It's up to us to approach
him as friends.

Quietly, calmly, gently

with a little bit of..

Go!

It's okay.

Hey! Hey, it's just
a little something

I wear when I watch ice hockey.

Yeah

'Baker and Poncherello, Tom.'

Oh, yeah. Hold on.
Just a minute.

Hey, how you doin'?

- Pretty good. Thank you.
- Come on in.

It's not much, but it beats
a cell at Quentin.

Uh, this is not
a social call, Tom.

Oh, hardball, huh?

Well, be my guest.

Picked up a call on the radio

that, uh, tended to put you

in a stolen van full
of color TV's.

One of series of robberies
pulled off

'by a gang that
had never been busted.'

- Turkeys must be good.
- Yeah.

Well, so were the guys
that you worked for.

They'd never been busted either.

Maybe they grew
into something big

and had a home for you
when you got out.

They'd owe me, wouldn't they?

What if you were a man trying
to clear yourself

with a kid you loved..

...maybe you're trying
to balance the books.

Instead of clueing us in
and letting us do it for you.

Listen, with all due respect, uh

didn't you just say that, uh,
the cops failed?

The laws hold water
like a fishnet?

Come on, you realize
what a guy

would have to do
to bust that outfit.

He'd have to get Mr. Big,
he'd have to find him

with his bloody hands
around the victim's throat.

Now, you think
I'd try that

One man who could
work his way inside.

Okay, say I wanna be a hero,
a galloping White knight

and I ask for your help,
what then?

Well, if you're admitting
that you violated parole

and committed a felony--

Hey, you might love me
like a brother, uh

but you can't close your eyes.

You'd have to cuff me,
take me in.

I'd be back in Q tomorrow.

'Now, on a scale of one to ten,
what would that make me?'

Tom, sometimes a noble sacrifice
is a stupid move.

Thanks, but flattery
will get you no confession.

Now get outta here.
I gotta get some sleep.

This is the last
conversation, Tom.

Next time,
it's the Miranda rights.

Now, that's comforting.

Hey, keep an ear
to that radio, uh.

If you hear that guy again

ask him nicely.
He might tell you who he is.

Sit down, Tom.

- You had a visit from two cops.
- That's right.

Then the boys
had trouble with cops.

- They mentioned it.

I don't.

You better.

Get Vin back in here.
Ask him.

No.

This is you and me.

Vin, get your tail
back in here.

Now you just suck it up!

You do not come in here
and try to take over.

I don't go anywhere
to account for his mistakes.

I thought you took me on
'cause I could handle cops.

Shut the door, Vin.

You tell me how to handle cops

without seeing cops,
will you, please?

What'd they want?

To invite me to a dance.
What else?

'Same two cops
that chased me and Marv.'

It's quite a coincidence, Tom.

Reno, you didn't trust me
to know about your warehouse..

...so I had to turn
the truck over to Vin.

Where

At the lot on 51st street.

That is where I thought he was.

Now, you like coincidence, uh?

How and where did he and Marv
get tangled up with the cops

when they were supposed
to be waiting for me?

Okay, we tailed the truck.

'I didn't trust him, Reno.'

Now I'll give you something
to worry about.

If I tipped the cops, I told 'em
the only thing I knew

be at the lot, follow the truck

and Vin will lead you
to the warehouse.

Tom..

...tomorrow you'll pick up
a truck in the valley.

It's a small fortune
in high-tech drilling bits.

Here's your schedule.

Vin will meet you,
same lot on 51st street.

Still protecting
your warehouse, huh?

Huh, that's right.

Oh, here.

Here is some green
for your jeans.

Listen, you did a good job.

There'll be no more of this.

Okay?

He was on the 17th floor
for ten minutes.

He came down alone.

He got on the number eight bus

takes him right to his hotel.

You didn't go to the 17th floor?

Well, I was gonna
do my janitor number

but I forgot my bucket.

- Ha!
- Hmm.

These are the only two outfits
on that floor.

Okay. I'm glad you didn't try
to bring him in.

It's awfully thin.

Uh, but do write it up

and I'll take it to the DA
in the morning.

Hey, Joe, there is a chance
that Tom was feeding us a lead.

I mean, what if he
was asking for help?

Uh, I think I left before
I heard that question.

What were you gonna suggest?

Oh, it's obvious.

We wait for Tom's
next move and then

we be foolish enough
to back him up.

- Change of plans.

Something came up.

You aren't going
to the 51st street lot.

Where do I go?

Get it started.
I'll show you.

Where you going?

You can watch

but you be real smart
not to attract attention.

Uh, Reno Hale, please.
Tom Corey.

No, not later! Now!

Tom

You're supposed to be driving.

'Yeah, to the 51st street lot'

where Vin is supposed
to meet me.

But no, he's here.

And he's saying I go
where he tells me.

Now, either
he's ripping you off

or I am being set up.

Hey, Tom, we change plans
all the time.

We tried to call you, man.

Okay. Where do I go, then?

- Vin will tell you.
- No. Uh-uh.

Now, Reno, I always trusted you

but this smells.

Now, you tell me where I go,
and I'll be there

'and when I see you there,
I'll get out of the truck.'

Me? You listen to me,
you jailhouse flatfoot.

You do not threaten me!

What kind of a trip
do you think you're on?

Well, I'll tell you this

if it's back to Quentin,
I don't go alone.

Okay.

You just tell him to take you

to the shed and I'll be there.

What shed

That's all you get, Tom.

Use it or walk.

I say when you use the radio.

Got him rolling east
on Acacia.

'10-4, 7-Charles.'

- Take a right.

Finding out
if we got a tail.

He turned south on Roctor

and then west, I think.

I can't believe he spotted me,
but he shook me.

'Do I continue?'

Negative, 7-Charles.
If he knows you're there.

He'll quit, and we'll
blow the whole thing.

Maybe we were wrong
to think he wants us.

He may go back on Acacia.
You go west. We'll take east.

Bonnie knows the truck.
Maybe she can pick it up later.

Keep her clued in
and lay back.

Let me use the radio, man.
This truck is hot.

If we see cops,
it's gonna be too late.

Come on, Vin. One call. I can
clear the route with one call.

One call.

Uh, Central Valley units

this is 15-S-11, 15-S-11.

'Any Central Valley
units respond.'

Central Valley? No such thing.

S-11 was Corey's number.

S-11, 15-Mary-3 and 4.

Mary-3 and 4, I am 11-31

westbound Carson Avenue.

That is 51

11-31. Calling for help.

What's 51

Mental case.

Insane is wrong.
Wrong direction.

'Uh, roger, S-11.
You are 10-2.'

Major traffic hazard,
Acacia and Wiley.

Requesting assistance.
10-22 at that location.

10-22. Ignore it.

Sure. That's west.
He's headed east.

Uh, 10-4, S-11. Uh, 7-Adam,
did you copy S

'Roger, Mary-3.'

We'll contact, uh, 7-Charles.

We'll coordinate on blue.

'10-4.'

Black
What did he mean?

Supervisor's code.

It just means they're headed
where I sent 'em.

Not so fast!

Not until I see Mr. Hale.

Looking for something, Tom?

Ah, this meathead only
let me use the radio once.

Just checking to make sure
we're free and clear.

What's this all about?

'Oh, it won't be any loss.'

Stuff stored here
is just excess anyways

not even worth carting
back to the warehouse.

'Besides, I'll collect
the insurance on the shed.'

Yeah, what about the trucks?

There were mistakes.

Even I make mistakes.

It can't work out
between us, Tom.

'I just will not put up
with rebels in the ranks.'

But I still have a use for you.

You stole the trucks.

Well, that investigation
will dead-end here

when they discover
your body in the ashes.

Why, you double--

Let's fire it up
and we can get out of here.

Inside the warehouse,
this is the police.

'We have the warehouse
surrounded.'

Any weapons you may have,
throw out.

Come out with your hands up.

'You have 30 seconds.'

Get out of the truck.

Put your hands on your head.

Put your left hand on your head.

Corey's not here.

Wait a minute.

Reno Hale, the boss,
he's still inside.

That's your big shot, Reno Hale.

I think the other two will sing.

Well, I got the song.

Hail, hail, the gang's all here?

I think, Tom divorced you
to protect you.

And I think you know it.

You agreed to come here

and you've said, "My husband"

three times
in the last half-hour.

Face it, lady,
you're still in love.

I thought you might be hurt.

Nah. I'm okay.

Hey, the ice cream man!

Ma, you know
the ice cream man?

Yes.

Tommy, I want to tell you
something very important.

I think this is up to me.

Tommy..

...would you believe
that sometimes..

...grown

I guess so.

Okay.

Your mother told you
your father was dead.

I made her do that.

It's partly true because..

...the bad part of me is..

...dead.

But the good part is alive.

And beginning now...

...whatever happens between
you, your mother, and me..

...it's going to be with truth.

All the way.

You understand?

Are you my father?

Hey, it's my father.

Bring any ice cream?

Later.

- Dad.

Mr. Harlan was showing me
the motors outside.

Wanna see 'em?

In a little while, okay?

Now will they take him to jail?

Well, I'm gonna
take him there myself.

He's bailable. We're gonna
help him in court all we can.

I don't think it'll be so bad.

Get back!
Get back!

Hey, I was out by the garage,
and guess what?

Uh, Tommy, uh,
just stay right there.

He's a hero.
He chased the...skunk away.

Don't you wanna hear?

Tell your father.

Uh..

I'm proud of you, son.

Phew!

Okay, sergeant, I'm ready to go.

Oh, uh..

Uh..
